Stock option

An option right is the right to buy (call option) or sell (put option) something. By exercising the option right, the purchase agreement comes into being. Subsequently, delivery must take place.

An option right can be designed so that it can be exercised at any time, after or before a certain date or when a certain event occurs. It can assume a fixed price or a price to be specified.

Although an option right is similar to a pre-emptive right, it is slightly different. A pre-emptive right gives the right to buy something first, when the owner wants to sell it.

Option rights are sometimes used for shares, but they are also sometimes granted in relation to immovable property.
