OK, here goes...

As an option is granted (quarterly in this case) the grantee has 3 options:

1) Buy the stock at the strike price & hold it
2) Cash in the option. That is, buy the stock at the strike price & immediately sell it back to the company at market price, pocketing the profit
3) Let the option lapse (ie don't buy it & lose the option)
