An Option Deed – also called a Call Option Deed – is useful when you’re giving a party the rights to, at their option, buy shares in a company.
It’s an agreement where a party gives the right to another party to purchase a certain amount of shares at a predetermined price. These shares can be either new shares granted by the company, or pre-existing shares granted by a shareholder.
Option Deeds are often drafted with an expiration date, so that if a party does not purchase their shares by a certain date, their right to buy a set amount of shares at a set price lapses.
Option Deeds can be a great way to entice potential investors or to reward shareholders!
