Quote:
CEO James Kilts, for one, stands to make an estimated $123 million from selling his firm to P&G, based on last week’s stock prices and options that will vest when the ink on the deal dries.


Can we parse the above sentence this way:
"last week's stock prices" and "Options that will vest when the ink on the deal dries"

Then how do we understand "options that will vest when the ink on the deal dries"?

At the point when the deal is signed, he has the right to exercise his options.

So you agreed to my way of parsing the sentence? But what may be his options?

I assume that "options" is short for "stock options". He has the option to purchase stocks in the new company at a reduced price.
