∙ 11y agoIf you're talking the "stock option" you hear about in regards to executive salaries (Joe Smith, CEO of Acme, earned $22 million in 2012 - $1 million cash, $21 million in stock options), those usually expire more than a year after they are issued. The holder of the options doesn't HAVE to exercise them the day he gets them, and usually doesn't. They are highly customizable, so if Mr. Smith decided he wanted his options to expire three years after issue, the company would write them that way.
