Tiivistelmä: | Stock options, which give the recipient the right to buy a share of stock at a prespecified 'exercise' price for a prespecified term, have emerged as the single largest component of compensation for U.S. executives. In fiscal year 1998, the grant-date value of stock options accounted for 40 percent of total pay in 1992. Stock options have become increasingly important for rank-and-file workers as well: 45% of U.S. companies awarded options to their exempt salaried employees in 1998, while 12 percent awarded options to their nonexempt and hourly employees. |
