So in the case where you don't have accelerated vesting, what happens to unvested options in an acquisition? Do they get converted to options in the equivalent dollar amount of stock in the acquiring company on the same vesting schedule? (Obviously subject to negotiation, YMMV etc etc...)
- dgottlieb 15y agoWith an acquisition I went through, none of the unvested options (after acceleration) turned into anything (meaning those remaining shares were never issued/created). However the acquiring company put forth their own stock incentive plan in hopes of retaining employees.
