Options were granted to officers of Moore as of January 1, 2025, and at that time the option price was set at $\$30$. According to terms of the option agreement, the officers of the company can purchase 36,000 shares as of Jan. 1, 2028. The shares represent compensation for 2025, 2026 and 2027. The options lapse on Dec. $31,2028$. On Febr. 1, 2028 options for 18,000 shares were exercised. The remaining options lapsed because the executives decided not to exercise.

The company controller has also updated the pricing model through the date that the options were exercised.

Jill exercises the SARs on January 2, 2030. The company has adopted the fair value method of expensing its SARs to employees and it has run the Black-Scholes pricing model for them.
