What does it mean for an RSU to "vest"? My understanding of RSUs is that it means the company will give you some shares if you still work there at some specified date. Vesting is a stock option concept - the time at which you can choose whether or not to sell some of the granted shares. Which means that you can sell some shares to pay your taxes when the shares vest.
Is the current proposal meant to tax the RSUs when you are told you will be getting them?
- closeparen 9y agoMy RSUs vest at the latter of the time-based condition (schedule) and performance-based condition (company liquidity event). The proposal is to make this taxable income purely at the time-based condition, when they may still be illiquid.
