Meta Platforms is granting stock options to top executives for the first time since its 2012 IPO, aiming to retain key talent amid heavy AI spending. The options vest if shares hit targets starting at $1,116.08, about 88% above the current price of $592.92, with higher tranches up to $3,727.12. All options will vest by August 2030 regardless of performance and expire after five years if unused. CEO Mark Zuckerberg will not receive options.
