Put option
An agreement which gives the recipient the right, but not the obligation, to require the donor to take title to a specified asset (e.g. shares) from the recipient, normally at a specified price on a specified date (or within a range of dates).
The recipient can be expected to use this right if the value of the asset is less than the specified price on the specified date.
Hence, such an agreement may be used to cap one party's potential losses in relation to an asset.
