These options offer tax advantages to the employees, as their gains are typically taxed at the capital gains rate rather than the ordinary income tax rate. SOS are subject to various requirements and limitations set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), such as the requirement to hold the options for a certain duration before exercising. On the other hand, Nonqualified Stock Options (SOS) are a more flexible type of stock option that can be granted to both employees and non-employees, such as consultants or directors. Unlike SOS, SOS do not qualify for the same tax advantages. The gains from exercising SOS are generally taxed at the ordinary income tax rate. SOS provide employers with more flexibility in granting options, as they are not subject to the same restrictions and limitations as SOS. In addition to SOS and SOS, the Texas Stock Option Plan may also include Stock Appreciation Rights (SARS).

When employees exercise SARS, they receive the cash equivalent of the increase in the stock's value. SARS can be granted in conjunction with stock options or independently.

By implementing this plan, companies in Texas can effectively incentivize and reward their employees, fostering a motivated and dedicated workforce while aligning their interests with the success of the company.
