How so? They don't have any actual stock. They have options to stock.

  Usually depends on the type of option. If they are 'double cliff' then the employee stock option will vest automatically, if they aren't then the emplyee will lose them.

    I've never heard the term 'double cliff' before, can you explain?

      I think they might mean "double trigger" acceleration, where the options vest automatically on change of control.

  exercise the option = buy the stock
