Common Stock Purchase and Transfer Outside Company Control

We were recently acquired so all common stock options vested.  Some employees decided to sell their shares to another employee at a lose to realize the capital gains lose this tax season.

I'm wondering the best practice for recording these transactions?  The founders aren't liking that the transfer closes the existing CS entry and creates a new one.   They are wanting the existing CS to transfer to the new owner.

Does Carta support this or are we forced to create a new CS# using the Transfer function?
