| Samenvatting | The widespread practice of backdating executive stock options has drawn strong criticism of the public and also serious attention of the regulators. Other than pure luck and insider manipulation, I conjecture some backdating is ra- tional. By using a sample of 126 US companies under investigations related to backdating, I find them larger, younger, having lower cash holding and higher stock volatility. In addition, there is little evidence for managerial entrench- ment and underperformance. Lastly, I build up a simple dynamic game of imperfect information, showing that higher performance indeed increases the backdating propensity, which distinguishes backdating from repricing mecha- nism.
