What happens to your shares if you are partially, or not even 1 yr vested at a pre-IPO company and the company goes public? When you continue on your vesting schedule, what price do you purchase your vested shares at?

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?

Hi Fishes

Joined My new company this Jan. My previous income was not eligible for tax slabs. Now while adding the income from Apr 21-Mar 2022 it's become 5.9 LPA. I don't have any investments and in my new company I declared the same. The only tax exemption I have is PF contribution and professional tax. I have only 25K PF contribution and 2.5K professional tax. So while calculating the tax I am getting 15K as tax payable. How can I avoid this 15k. Kindly pour your suggestions. TIA.
