| Abstract: | This study compares the market values (here as: vals.) of executive stock option (ESO) trades with their Black & Scholes (1973) model vals. calculated following the major accounting standards SFAS No.123r and IFRS2. Major underpricing is shown compared to the traditional B & S method vals. which should be considered while applying SFAS No. 123r and IFRS2 for estimating fair vals. Especially time to expiration has a major influence on the undervaluation suggesting that the possibility of a corporate structure change lowers the cost of ESOs to shareholders. |
