Overhang
Calculated as stock options granted, plus the remaining options to still be granted, and then divided by the total shares outstanding.
Investopedia Commentary
A high percentage for the overhang is usually a bad thing. It means there is a growing possibility that the options will be exercised and dilute the company's stock.
