    This is the first post of our most frequently asked questions series. I wanted to start by discussing what actions on the platform trigger a notification when a security is modified. Only legal admins can modify a security and notifications are sent only when a security has been accepted by the holder.

    Notifications are automatically sent by Carta and they cannot be disabled.

    Below is a chart which shows what notifications are triggered when a certificate, option grant, RSA, or RSU are modified. These all trigger a notification because they are considered a significant change.

    Security type Issue date/ grant date Currency Vesting schedule Documents Quantity Price per share Option plan Grant/ RSU expiration date Exercise price All post-termination exercise periods ISO disqualification date
    Certificate
    Option grant
    RSA
    RSU

    Modification of warrants triggers no notifications.

    Convertible notes have more fields that trigger a notification when modified so I am using a this section below to capture them. They are the following:

    • Issue date
    • Currency
    • All documents
    • Maturity date
    • Principal
    • Valuation cap
    • Conversion discount %
    • Conversion trigger
    • Change in control %
    • Interest rate %
    • Day count convention
    • Interest accrual period
    • Interest compounding period
    • Interest payout

    The review modal of the modifications will indicate when a notification is sent, as you can see in the screenshot below:
