Under the Wyoming Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan, L. Luria and Son, Inc. offers various types of stock options to its employees. These types may include: 1. Incentive Stock Options (SOS): SOS are granted exclusively to employees and provide certain tax advantages. They have specific requirements regarding exercise price, holding periods, and eligible recipients. 2. Non-Qualified Stock Options (Nests): Nests are available to employees, directors, and consultants. Unlike SOS, they do not qualify for preferential tax treatment, but offer greater flexibility in terms of eligibility and exercise price. 3. Restricted Stock Units (RSS): RSS are units that represent the right to receive shares in the future upon meeting certain conditions, such as vesting periods or performance milestones. They are often used as an alternative to traditional stock options. 4. Performance Stock Options: These stock options have additional performance-based criteria that need to be met before they can be exercised. They link employee rewards to company performance indicators, encouraging strategic growth and goal achievement. The Wyoming Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan of L. Luria and Son, Inc. is specially tailored to meet the legal and regulatory requirements of Wyoming while also providing a competitive and effective stock option program.
