Thank you Randa. Doaa also deserves honorary kudoz. The ahram article hits the nail right on the head as it addresses the whole subject of derivative transactions, giving me confirmation of some of the other terms I translated. Thanks to all who contributed.

StocK option plan:
A stock option plan grants employees the right to buy company stock at a specified price during a specified period once the option has vested. So if an employee gets an option on 100 shares at $10 and the stock price goes up to $20, the employee can \"exercise\" the option and buy those 100 shares at $10 each, sell them on the market for $20 each, and pocket the difference. But if the stock price never rises above the option price, the employee will simply not exercise the option. Stock options can be given to as few or as few employees as you wish. Perhaps 7 to 10 million or more employees in thousands of companies, both public and private, presently hold stock options
