This plan is designed to provide both Incentive Stock Options (ISO) and Nonqualified Stock Options (NO) to eligible participants. Incentive Stock Options are a type of stock option that offer certain tax advantages to employees. These options are granted at a specific exercise price and can only be exercised after a designated period of time has passed, known as the vesting period. Once vested, employees have the right to purchase company stock at the exercise price, which is typically lower than the market price. If held for a specified period, any potential gains upon selling the stock are treated as long-term capital gains, resulting in potentially lower tax rates for employees. Nonqualified Stock Options, on the other hand, do not have the same tax advantages as SOS. These options are also granted at a preset exercise price and have a vesting period. Upon vesting, employees can exercise the options and acquire company stock at the exercise price. The difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the stock at the time of exercise is considered taxable income to the employee. If the stock is held for a certain period, any subsequent gains or losses are treated as capital gains or losses. The Guam Stock Option Plan of Hayes Wheels International, Inc. establishes a framework for granting both types of stock options, providing employees with the opportunity to align their interests with the company's performance and potentially benefit from its growth. By offering these stock options, the company aims to attract and retain talented individuals, motivate employees to achieve corporate goals, and create a sense of ownership and loyalty among the workforce.
