  • 1.  Accelerate share vesting

    Posted 08-15-2023 09:18

    I have an employee who left the company with about 23,000 shares vested. As part of the separation, it was agreed that they would depart with a total of 30,000 shares. What steps do I have to take in Carta to accelerate the vesting so that the additional 7,000 shares are available to the employee?

    Hey @Matthew Miles! Here are the steps to accelerate vesting: https://support.carta.com/s/article/accelerate-vesting

    Be cautious with the 'Effective date' because that's the date that the acceleration will show up on reports (I've accidentally entered a day two months later, and I wondered why the reports as-of the acceleration date weren't showing it...). 😅

    Also check with your equity administrator or legal counsel to make sure that the 'Vesting acceleration date' is correct according to the separation agreement or board approval - most often I've seen the acceleration date be the same date as the termination date, but it should be double checked to be sure.

    Let me know here if you have further questions!
