Options and Option Grants

Options and Option Grants organizes corporate finance terms into narrower subsections so readers can separate capital structure, transaction design, issuance mechanics, working capital, ownership rights, and cash-flow analysis.

Use Employee Stock Options And Option Plans and Incentive Performance And Qualifying Options to move from the broad topic into the specific corporate-finance question. The goal is to keep each folder small enough for practical lookup while preserving related concepts together.

This section stays finance-first. Legal, accounting, or strategy detail is kept here only when it materially affects financing choices, valuation, control, capital allocation, liquidity, or shareholder economics.
