JBL Aircraft manufactures and distributes aircraft parts and supplies. Employees are offered a variety of share-based compensation plans. Under its nonqualified stock option plan, JBL granted options to key officers on January 1, 2016. The options permit holders to acquire six million of the company’s $1 par common shares for $22 within the next six years, but not before January 1, 2019 (the vesting date).
