Glossary
| Term | Description |
|---|---|
| Equity | Ownership of a company (often in the forms of shares). Companies often award equity as an incentive to financially share in the growth of the company. |
| ISO (Incentive Stock Options) | These are stock options that are specifically for employees of the company. ISOs have a variety of tax advantages (such as the ability to gain long term capital gains treatment if properly exercised and held), but are also subject to restrictions such as a cap on the amount vesting per year as well as a mandatory Post Termination Exercise Window of three months |
| NSO (Non Qualifying Stock Options) | These form of stock options are more flexible but involve a different taxation mechanism. NSOs are taxed as income upon exercise based upon the difference between the fair market value at the time of exercise and the fair market value at the time of grant. |
| Post Termination Exercise Window | This is the time period you have to exercise options if you are terminated. If you do not exercise the options before this period expires, the options will expire. |
| AMT (Alterantive Minimum Tax) | If you exercise ISOs, the difference between the fair market value at the time of exercise and your strike price counts as income for AMT purposes. AMT is an alternate way to compute the taxes you owe every year. If your AMT amount exceeds certain limits, you may face a higher tax bill. |
| FMV Valuation | An assesment of the 'fair market value' of your company's stock. Ideally, the 409(A) valuation is a fraction (under 30%) of the valuation that investors paid which is actually a good thing since it lowers the cost of exercising. You may see this referred to |
| Early Exercise | The ability to exercise your options before they fully vest (in exchange for stock with the same vesting schedule). This can be useful if you are confident that the stock will appreciate, but it is risky since you need to pay for the exercise immediately as well as any taxes (on the difference between the current 409(A) price and your strike price). If the 409(A) fair market valuation has not appreciated above your strike price, you may not have a tax burden. |
| 83(b) Election | An election that you file with the IRS to indicate you would like them to tax you on the current value of your exercise or purchase, rather than as it vests. This can be an important step when you are exercising your options or recieving restricted shares. Due to antiquated IRS rules, this must be physically mailed and recieved by the IRS within 30 days of the qualifying event (usually an early exercise). |
