This may take several forms in the treasury context.


A share option is a type of derivative contract, allowing the holder to buy shares at a certain predetermined strike price.  
For example, and depending on the direction of the change:
*Increasing interest cost
*Falling interest income
*Changing market value of debt, or of pension liabilities
*Differences in competitiveness
*The changing nature of a market when interest rates change
*Secondary effects, especially potentially adverse effects, resulting from any of the primary effects above. For example, potential breaches of interest cover covenants.


The value of the share option derives from the current price of the related underlying share relative to the option strike price.
 
Sometimes written 'interest-rate risk'.
 
Not to be confused with Internal Rate of Return, which is also abbreviated to ''IRR''.
