For example, say the agreement is that shares of equity vest over a four-year period at 25% per year. This means that each co-founder only actually “owns” 25% of their total equity at the end of the first year, 50% at the end of the second year, 75% at the end of the third year, and 100% at the end of the fourth year.
Examples of vesting schedules Vesting schedules can vary by company, both in terms of duration and the percentage of shares vested each year. For example, Nike offers its employees a five percent match on their 401(k) contributions, which they vest immediately.
In California, common vesting options include Sole Ownership, Joint Tenancy, Tenancy in Common, and Community Property. The choice of vesting type can greatly influence the management and succession of the property.
Under a standard four-year time-based vesting schedule with a one-year cliff, 1/4 of your shares vest after one year. After the cliff, 1/36 of the remaining granted shares (or 1/48 of the original grant) vest each month until the four-year vesting period is over. After four years, you are fully vested.
For example: you've been granted 4,800 shares over four years. After the first year, you'd receive 1,200 shares (25% of the total). Then, you might be given 100 shares each month for the next three years. 'Fully vested' shares are those you own outright once the vesting period ends.
If you resign, fully vested equity typically remains yours. For company stock, you own it outright. For stock options, you generally have a 90-day window to exercise your remaining vested shares. Terms can vary depending on your company's specific equity agreement.
