A grant is the transaction by which your employer awards stock options, stock appreciation rights, or restricted stock awards to you. The terms of your grant are determined by your grant agreement and your company's stock option, stock appreciation rights, or restricted stock awards plan.
An Unaccepted Grants list appears on the Summary page for your Stock Plan Account. To accept or decline an unaccepted grant, click Accept Grant or Decline Grant next to the grant.
