Mechanics of Stock Option Backdating

Enroll
Stock option backdating involves setting the grant date of stock options to an earlier time when the stock price was lower, thereby providing instant, often undisclosed, profit for the option recipients. This practice can mislead shareholders and regulators by falsely reporting the company's actual expenses and can lead to legal and financial consequences for the company if not properly disclosed.
