Description

This is a multi-state form covering the subject matter of the title. The Chicago Stock Option Plan is a comprehensive program designed to authorize and regulate the allocation and granting of Incentive Stock Option (ISO) plans for Pacific Animated Imaging Corp. Based in Chicago, Illinois, this plan aims to provide employees and key personnel of the company with the opportunity to acquire company stock options as an incentive for exceptional performance and commitment to the company's growth. Under this plan, Pacific Animated Imaging Corp. intends to offer various types of stock options to its employees. These options will grant eligible individuals the right to purchase a specific number of company shares at a predetermined price, often referred to as the exercise price or strike price. The approval of the Incentive Stock Option Plan will allow the company to implement different types of stock option grants, including: 1. Non-qualified Stock Options (SOS): These stock options do not meet specific requirements set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for favorable tax treatment. SOS provide flexibility in terms of grant size, exercise price, and eligibility requirements. Employees who receive SOS must pay ordinary income tax on the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the stock at the time of exercise. 2. Restricted Stock Units (RSS): Although not strictly considered stock options, RSS function similarly by granting employees the right to receive a specific number of shares in the future. RSS are subject to vesting schedules, which means they only convert into actual shares once certain time or performance-based milestones are met. Upon vesting, RSS are taxed at ordinary income rates. 3. Stock Appreciation Rights (SARS): Unlike traditional stock options, SARS provide employees with the opportunity to receive cash or stock based on the appreciation of the company's stock price. When the SARS are exercised, employees are compensated for the increase in stock value without necessarily having to purchase company shares. SARS are also subject to tax implications and may require compliance with specific regulations. The approval of the Incentive Stock Option Plan for Pacific Animated Imaging Corp. will enable the company to implement these various types of stock option grants, aligning the interests of employees with those of the corporation. It acts as a valuable tool for attracting, retaining, and motivating talented individuals vital to the company's success.
