Yea, the category of derivatives is actually quite broad. Options, futures, forwards, etc. are all derivatives - in that they derive their value indirectly from the underlying assets, but they're traded so broadly that the specific names make more since.
I believe these are derivative because they aren't buying the stock directly, but purchasing rights to them.
This is done to Fortune 500 CEOs option/stock pools to sell off their rights to purchase others' rights to their stock for the sake of diversification without selling publicly and causing a scare - to the board or investors.
