My RSUs only vest after an IPO. There's still the lockup period, but even then, my understanding is that taxes are withheld by giving you a subset of the RSUs, you don't owe a tax bill in cash.
- ChuckMcM 11y agoThat is clever (presumably IPO or other liquidity event) I think the ideal thing would be to contribute a portion of your stock to the event to offset the tax event (like the way Google sells some of your RSUs to pay your taxes before they give you the rest) In which case you have no downside financially if the company goes "poof!" you just don't get any stock in the newly dead entity.
