E16-12B (L03) (Issuance, Exercise, and Termination of Stock Options) On July 1, 2016, Hooker Financial Corporation granted 50,000 options to key executives. Each option allows the executive to purchase one share of Hookers $1 par value com- mon stock at a price of $58 per share. The options were exercisable within a 2-year period beginning July 1, 2018, if the grantee is still employed by the company at the time of the exercise. On the grant date, Hookers stock was trading at $50 per share, and a fair value option-pricing model determines total compensation to be $350,000.

On July 1, 2018, 35,000 options were exercised when the market price of Hookers stock was $65 per share. The remaining options lapsed in 2020 because executives decided not to exercise their options.
