Options backdating is a practice of giving the option the price dated prior to the actual date of the issuance of the option. This way the price can be lower than the actual price of the option.
Par value is a value for the bond or for the stock beyond which a bond or a security in general can be deemed mature. For corporate-issued securities this is a price of $1000 and higher. For government bonds the amount has to be bigger. Securities can be traded both above and beyond par value.
