The Stock Option Purchase Agreement is a crucial document used when companies wish to offer equity incentives to employees, consultants, or other stakeholders under Danish law. It serves as the primary legal instrument for documenting the grant of stock options, typically used as part of compensation packages to align interests between the company and key individuals. The agreement must comply with the Danish Companies Act (Selskabsloven), Stock Options Act (Aktieoptionsloven), and relevant tax regulations. It includes essential details such as grant size, exercise price, vesting conditions, exercise procedures, and restrictions on transfer, while also addressing tax implications and compliance requirements specific to the Danish jurisdiction.
