 | | However, employee stock options use is being curbed thanks in part to a decision by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) requiring that stock option grants are recorded on the income statement as an expense. | | | Additional to the intrinsic value an option has a time value, which decreases the closer the option is to its expiry date. | | | Previously, options granted with fair market value exercise prices were not considered to have a cost to the company. |

| | CBOE - Equity Option Concepts |
| | Options are contracts in which the terms of the contract are standardized and give the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a particular asset (e.g., the underlying stock) at a fixed price (the strike price) for a specific period of time (until expiration). | | | Put options may provide a more attractive method than shorting stock for profiting on stock price declines, in that, with purchased puts, you have a known and predetermined risk. | | | The seller of an option is obligated to perform according to the terms of the options contract-selling the stock at the contracted price (the strike price) for a call seller, or purchasing it for a put seller-if the option is exercised by the buyer. |

| | The greeks of calls and puts are calculated from the price of the stock, the strike price of the option, the estimate of volatility of the stock, the time to expiration of the option, the current interest rate and any dividends payable on the stock before the expiration date of the option. | | | Option values depend on the price of the stock, the strike price, the implied volatility of the stock price, the time to expiration, interest rates, and any dividends payable before the expiration of the option. | | | Like the potential profit on a long put, the risk of a short put is the dollar value of the strike price of the put minus the premium of the put. |

| | Introduction to Put Writing |
| | In the case of ABC stock trading at $65, the put seller would be either forced to pay $500 to repurchase the put at expiry or forced to have the shares "put" to him or her at $70, which will require $7,000 in cash or margin. | | | Put writing can be a very profitable method not only for generating income but also for entering a stock at a predetermined price. | | | Therefore, a put seller usually has a neutral/positive outlook on the stock or expects a decrease in volatility, with which he or she can create a profitable position. |

| | If the ICA Put Option is exercised prior to April 27, 2005, the valuation of the Option Shares (if the parties cannot agree to the price of the shares) will be performed by an independent valuation expert jointly appointed by Ahold and the ICA Partners. | | | Since it is uncertain whether or when the ICA Put Option will be exercised and since the value of ICA may change and is subject to negotiations and/or litigation, Ahold currently cannot determine the actual price it would have to pay for the Option Shares upon the exercise of the ICA Put Option. | | | Under US GAAP the estimated fair market value of the ICA Put Option, but not the shares themselves, is recorded as a liability as further discussed in Note 31. |

| | What Is The Value Of A Call Or Put Option? |
| | Exercising a call option is the financial equivalent of simultaneously purchasing the shares at the strike price and immediately selling them at the now higher market price. | | | A put option is purchased in hopes that the underlying stock price will drop well below the strike price, at which point you may choose to exercise the option. | | | A Put option represents the right (but not the requirement) to sell a set number of shares of stock (which you do not yet own) at a pre-determined "strike price" before the option reaches its expiration date. |

| | If, however, you were to buy a July $75 put for $8.30, you would still enjoy all of the stock's upside appreciation (except for the cost of the put), yet your maximum loss would be capped at $1,000, which is slightly more than the cost of the option. | | | Or you could buy one February $75 call for $4.35 and sell one February $75 put for $4.10 for a net cost of $0.25 ($4.35 minus $4.10), resulting in a share-equivalent cost of $75.25 ($75 strike plus $0.25). | | | For example, the margin requirement on a July $75 call is simply the $1,000 cost of the calls, while the stock plus put has a margin requirement almost five times higher, at $4,750. |

| | Call options function similarly to the type of options that companies typically grant employees as part of incentive packages, but unlike stock options, which must usually be held and exercised only by the employee, a call option can be traded on the open market. | | | Owners of put options hope that the value falls, because they can then buy the commodity at the low price and sell to the pre-existing buyer at the higher predetermined price. | | | In this case, there is a buyer who will purchase the commodity at the predetermined price regardless of whether its value rises or falls, but if the owner of the put option wants to make money, they have to buy the commodity at a lower price in order to resell it at a profit. |
