The Virginia Stock Option Plan of Sunrise Assisted Living, Inc. is designed to reward and incentivize employees, consultants, and advisers by granting them both Incentive Stock Options (SOS) and Nonqualified Stock Options (SOS). These stock options provide individuals with the opportunity to purchase company stock at a specified price, known as the exercise price, in the future. Incentive Stock Options (SOS) are awarded to eligible employees and consultants to encourage loyalty and long-term commitment. These options are subject to certain federal tax requirements and must be granted at or above the fair market value of the stock on the date of the grant. SOS offer potential tax advantages as they may qualify for favorable capital gains tax treatment upon their sale. However, there are specific holding periods and requirements that employees must fulfill to enjoy these tax benefits. Nonqualified Stock Options (SOS) are granted to employees, consultants, and advisers who do not meet the eligibility criteria for SOS or as an alternative to SOS. Unlike SOS, SOS do not qualify for special tax treatment and are subject to ordinary income tax rates upon exercise. However, they offer greater flexibility in terms of the exercise price, which can be set at a lower value than the current fair market price. The Virginia Stock Option Plan of Sunrise Assisted Living, Inc. is designed to attract and retain talented individuals in various professional capacities. By offering a combination of SOS and SOS, the company aims to provide both tax benefits and flexibility to its employees, consultants, and advisers.
