That could be easily fixed by requiring all executive and board members' stock to be held for, say, 3 years after vesting before selling.
- lberk 6y agoHas it really vested at that point then? Or is it just a longer vesting period?
- bruce511 6y agoI guess that depends on your understanding of "vesting" - and my understanding may be faulty. As I understand it, if I leave the business before the vesting I get nothing. When the stock vests it becomes mine. A lock down of the stock then means I can't trade it, but it remains mine (regardless of whether I stay or leave.) Once the lock is lifted I could sell it. So in that sense there's a difference, yes.
