Sep 27, 2013 at 7:16 comment added littleadv @CQM of course not. Your 401k plan is not the employee. You are.
Sep 27, 2013 at 6:28 comment added CQM @littleadv so I can get my employer to grant the ISO to my 401k instead?

Sep 25, 2013 at 17:31 comment added littleadv @CQM you exercise the ISO. You own them. Not the plan. Transferring to the plan would be dealing with yourself, and its a prohibited transaction. You can only transfer cash to the plan. I'm not sure even if you can transfer in-kind.
Sep 25, 2013 at 17:12 comment added CQM can you post more information or a source for this prohibition? 401k's can own practically any kind of security with few exemptions, even privately held ones, so how would a 401k be prohibited from using cash it already has and buying the shares from an ISO exercise? This is about exercising ISO's not "pulling in the ISOs" whatever that means
