"Incentive Stock Options versus Non-Qualified Stock Options.
It is important to understand the differences between Incentive Stock Options and Non-Qualified Stock Options. The principal differences between the two types of options are eligibility and tax benefits. With respect to eligibility, Incentive Stock Options are limited to the Company’s W-2 employees. Independent contractor consultants and others that are not W-2 employees are ineligible for Incentive Stock Options. Non-Qualified Stock Options can be offered to both W-2 employees and other individuals or consultants that do not otherwise qualify as a W-2 employee. In both cases, the holder of the option pays a pre-determined amount of money to purchase common stock of the Company – with the expectation that the payment is less than the market value at the time the option is exercised. The tax differences are summarized in the table, below. When the Company grants an Incentive Stock Option or Non-Qualified Option it will need to: (a) take a Board Action; (b) enter into a Stock Option Agreement; (c) enter into a Stock Purchase Agreement; and (d) provide a sample Notice of Stock Option Grant."
