SOS allow the holder to purchase company stock at a specified price, known as the strike price, at a future date. The tax advantage lies in the fact that any gain realized upon the exercise of SOS is typically taxed as a long-term capital gain, which is subject to a lower tax rate. On the other hand, Nests are another type of stock option that does not provide the same tax advantages as SOS. These options are often granted to executive officers with more flexible terms and can be a valuable addition to their compensation package. Nests also allow the holder to buy company stock at a predetermined price, but any gain realized upon exercise is generally taxed as ordinary income.
