Are they shares or stock options?
Stock options
Presumably you are talking about options. Your options were provided at a certain amount (“right to buy x shares at y price”). What changes when you go public is you probably have windows you can trade and windows you can’t, as well as the tax implications when you exercise the options. If your IPO goes well, exercising those shares is a taxable event. If you are in the US and you sell within the first year, that is also capital gains plus your W-2 income. If you hold past Dec 31, you then have to deal with AMT. I recommend getting a CPA with experience in this area. Good luck!
Yes, vesting schedule continues and the price shouldn’t change for your option price. You should have signed a contract with the details.
Great question. In a similar position myself. I'm curious. Where are you at?
