Employee And Non Employees Stock Option [Member]
An arrangement whereby an employee or non-employee is entitled to receive in the future, subject to vesting and other restrictions, a number of shares in the entity at a specified price, as defined in the agreement. Although there are variations, normally, after vesting, when an option is exercised, the holder pays the strike value in cash to the issuing employer-entity and receives equity shares. The equity shares can be sold into the market for cash at the current market price without restriction. Options may be used to attract, retain and incentivize individuals, in addition to their regular compensation and benefits.
