(Issuance, Exercise, and Termination of Stock Options)
On January 1, 2013, Nichols Corporation granted 10,000 options to
key executives. Each option allows the executive to purchase one
share of Nichols’ $5 par value common stock at a price of $20 per
share. The options were exercisable within a 2-year period
beginning January 1, 2015, if the grantee is still employed by the
company at the time of the exercise. On the grant date, Nichols’
stock was trading at $25 per share, and a fair value option-pricing
model determines total compensation to be $400,000.
