A call option (Swedish: köpoption) gives the holder the right but not the obligation to buy a share at a predetermined price, the strike price, within a set period. The issuer must sell if the holder exercises it. The opposite is a put option.
In unlisted companies, call options are often used between owners, for example in a shareholders' agreement or an incentive program. Since they concern existing shares, they differ from warrants. On exercise, the transfer must be entered in the share ledger.
