Stock Appreciation Rights

Stock Appreciation Rights

Stock Appreciation Rights means:
rights granted to an employee entitling him or her to receive, under a nonstock deferred-compensation arrangement, any appreciation in the value of shares of stock. The employee is paid the appreciation in the form of cash, stock, or a combination of the two. The full value of the acquired stock (or cash) is taxed on the exercise date, and the employer obtains a deduction at the same time and in the same amount.
