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.
An example: on 01/01/2023 an employee receives 4,000 shares with a 4-year vesting and 1 cliff. It will not be until 01/01/2024 that he will unlock 25% (1,000) of the shares. From that date on, he will vest periodically for 4 years until vesting all 4,000.
Some basic terms that must be included in the vesting agreement are: Details of the shareholder. Number of shares. Type of shares. Vesting criteria. Vesting schedule. Company buy-back options. Terms of confidentiality. Definitions and interpretations.
A vesting agreement is an agreement entered into between a corporation and a shareholder (usually an employee) that restricts the vesting of securities with the shareholder over a period of time or subject to other conditions.
Vesting Provisions refer to the terms and conditions that govern how the equity ownership (shares) of founders, key employees, or other stakeholders will be distributed or 'earned back' over time.
