Is strike price negotiable?


Is strike price negotiable? A strike price usually isn't negotiable. That's because it's a fixed number based on the independent appraisal of a company share at that time. It is technically possible to grant options at a strike price different from the 409A. But it's not very common and comes with disadvantages.


Can strike price be changed?

The strike price of a bought or sold option cannot be changed once that option is traded. Rather, the strike price of the option is predetermined. The only way to change the strike price for a trade is to offset that trade and then buy or sell an option at a different strike price.
