| Abstract: | In this article the authors examine CEO stock option contracts using UK data for the 1997 fiscal year. They show how the portfolio of options varies with firm wealth; describe the structure of the contract (in terms of vesting criteria related to performance targets); and illustrate whether the option performance criteria is historically "demanding". Finally, they show how the pay-performance term varies with the structure of the option contract. |
