What's at stake
What is really at stake
- 01Parties agree that one of them may buy the other out at some future point.It is recorded loosely, or not at all, because the trigger feels distant.
- 02When the moment arrives, the price basis is disputed, the trigger is ambiguous, and the party who wants to exercise has no enforceable right to do so.
In plain words
Call Option and Put Option Agreement
Option documentation granting a right to buy (call) or require purchase (put) of shares — the trigger events, exercise mechanics and notice, the price or valuation basis, conditions, and completion.
What good looks like
Imagine an option that works when exercised. Trigger defined, notice period clear, price calculable without argument, and completion a process rather than a negotiation.

Before you sign
The cost of waiting
An option is only as good as its price mechanism. Leave the valuation basis open and the option becomes a negotiation you may lose.
