I have to agree that the reporting was really unclear if the ask was to forgo unvested options, forgo unexercised but vested options, or give back stock from already vested options. I assume it's the unvested options under consideration, since the latter two seem impossible. Then I've seen no discussion of AMT anywhere. Say you have vested but exercised options but for currently illiquid stock, and that someone threatens you with dismissal. You can exercise but then owe a bunch on AMT that you might not have the resources to cover. Does that make you more likely to go along? This makes it seem like an even more hardball move to me.
