Cammie received 100 NQOs (each option provides a right to purchase 10 shares of MNL stock for $10 per share) at the time she started working for MNL Corporation (5/1/Y1) four years ago when MNLs stock price was $8 per share. Now that MNLs stock price is $40 per share (8/15/Y5), she intends to exercise all of her options.
