About : ESOP Grant and ESOP Vesting Agreement
Employee stock options (ESOs) are a type of equity compensation granted by companies to their employees and executives.
Rather than granting shares of stock directly, the company gives derivative options on the stock instead.
These options come in the form of regular call options and give the employee the right to buy the company's stock at a specified price for a finite period of time. Typically, ESOs are issued by the company and cannot be sold.
Important concept
There are two key parties in the ESO, the grantee (employee) and the grantor (employer). The grantee also known as the optionee can be an executive or an employee, while the grantor is the company that employs the grantee.
The grantee is given equity compensation in the form of ESOs, usually with certain restrictions, one of the most important of which is the vesting period (the vesting period is the length of time that an employee must wait in order to be able to exercise their ESOs).
Vesting
ESOs are considered vested when the employee is allowed to exercise the options and purchase the company’s stock.
The options agreement will provide the key details of your option grant such as the vesting schedule, how the ESOs will vest, shares represented by the grant, and the strike price.
