Clarify "Stock awards vs ISOs vs NSOs"

Open lorensr opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

Great resource, thanks for writing!

  1. In the three examples, you only mention 83(b) in "Restricted stock awards", but not in "NSOs" or "ISOs". I think it would be helpful to say what happens with 83(b) + early-exercised options.
  2. "Restricted stock awards" says "1 year past exercise", but what does exercise mean in the context of a grant? Prior, the term has only been used with options.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm moving your third point to #42 -- definitely agree some illustrative scenarios would be good! Would you be up for writing three scenarios like this one? File a PR against that issue and once it's reviewed would be glad to merge it in.

Will comment on points 1 and 2 shortly.
