On January 1, 2016, Indigo Corporation granted 9,300 options to key executives. Each option allows the executive to purchase one share of Indigo’s $5 par value common stock at a price of $20 per share. The options were exercisable within a 2-year period beginning January 1, 2018, if the grantee is still employed by the company at the time of the exercise. On the grant date, Indigo’s stock was trading at $26 per share, and a fair value option-pricing model determines total compensation to be $425,000.
On May 1, 2018, 7,440 options were exercised when the market price of Indigo’s stock was $30 per share. The remaining options lapsed in 2020 because executives decided not to exercise their options.
