> I have a decent number of exercised options This wording is unusual to me. Once you exercise an option, you no longer have it because you’ve used it to buy shares. If you have ownership shares in the company, and the company was bought, then you should have been compensated (in theory, depending on the terms of the acquisition—hire a lawyer). If your options were merely vested and not exercised, then they could now be worthless. I’m not a lawyer; I’m commenting only because this is in new and no one else has commented. If others comments will be made they will probably be better informed than this one.
