An equity compensation agreement grants employees the right to purchase or receive company stock as part of their compensation, typically subject to a vesting schedule.
A vesting schedule defines when an employee earns the right to their equity. A typical schedule is 4 years with a 1-year cliff, meaning 25% vests after year 1 and the remainder monthly over 3 years.
Stock options give employees the right to buy shares at a fixed price. RSUs are grants of actual shares that vest over time, with no purchase required.
Vested options can typically be exercised within 90 days of leaving. Unvested equity is forfeited. The agreement should specify all post-termination terms.
