Trading Stock Options
Trading stock options holds two definite advantages over trading stocks directly. A smart trader can certainly make money trading stocks. But by trading stock options the same trader can limit risk and leverage his trading capital.
What Are Options?
Options are contracts that give their buyers the right, not the obligation, to sell or purchase the underlying assets at a future date, within the term of the contract. Whether it is in stock options trading or in trading commodities like corn futures, trading options allows the investor to invest trading capital using a variety of strategies. A call option gives the buyer the right to buy and a put option gives the buyer the right to sell the underlying stock. Sellers are paid a premium for taking on the risk of having to buy or sell at a loss when the buyer chooses to execute his contract. Options are used to both hedge risk and to leverage trading capital.
Hedging Risk and Leveraging Capital
In trading stock options a buyer limits his risk to the premium paid. Let us say that your fundamental and technical analysis of ABC stock indicates that it will soon rise in price. You can buy a hundred share of ABC for $100 a share or $10,000. Or you may see that you can buy a $102 option on ABC for $1. A $102 option means that you can buy to stock for $102 a share at any time up until the end of the contract. Obviously the stock is currently worth $100 a share and you would not want to execute the contract. But, if your analysis is correct the stock price will go up. Let us say that the stock goes up to $110 a share. If you purchased the stock you make $1000 minus fees and commissions. That is a ten percent return on investment. And if the stock price falls to $90 a share you lose $1000, ten percent of your trading capital. But in trading stock options on ABC you pay $100 for a $102 call option on 100 shares. The stock goes up to $110. You execute the contract and purchase the stock for $102 a share and then sell for $110 a share. You make $8 a share or $800 which is a $700 profit or 700% return on invested capital. And, if the stock price falls to $90 you lose your initial $100 and no more.
Short and Long Term
Trading stock options is not just for short term profits. Let us say that you have purchased a hot growth stock. It has multiplied in value

Issuing Equity to Employees and Founders: Stock Options and Restricted StockDavid Ehrenberg
Before issuing equity to employees, you need to be aware of the potential consequences. Sure equity is a tool to hire top talent, but how much equity you give — and to whom — is not a decision to be entered into lightly.
For information about issuing equity — and help slicing up the equity pie — check out this deck from Annie Webber from Legal Hero (www.legalhero.com) and David Ehrenberg from Early Growth Financial Services (www.earlygrowthfinancialservices.com).
Managing startup equity (Equity For Startups)Kesava Reddy
Among the more important decisions that an entrepreneur makes is that of raising capital. Many choices have to be made in this context: Debt versus Equity. Own funds versus Funding from outside investors and so on. These choices have long term implications for the entrepreneur as well as the start-up. Equity funding is essential for the growth of a startup. Apart from providing critical funding equity investors also often bring added value by way of connections and strategic advice.
At the same time raising equity capital means sharing control and sharing wealth with the investors in the firm. Allowing investors to engage with the management of the startup calls for a certain degree of compatibility between the investor and the management of the enterprise. Absence of such compatibility can lead to unhappy relationships between the investor and the management team.
All things considered, managing the equity of a start-up is among the most critical decisions that an entrepreneur needs to make. It involves many trade-offs on the entrepreneurial journey. Which makes Managing the Equity of A Start Up a challenge. What does dilution of equity mean? How does the arithmetic of dilution work? How does an entrepreneur decide on when to raise equity? And how much of equity to raise?

Chapter 11
1. Cantor's has been busy analyzing a new product. Thus far, management has determined that an OCF of $218,200 will result in a zero net present value for the project, which is the minimum requirement for project acceptance. The fixed costs are $329,000 and the contribution margin per unit is $216.40. The company feels that it can realistically capture 2.5 percent of the 110,000 unit market for this product. The tax rate is 34 percent and the required rate of return is 11 percent. Should the company develop the new product? Why or why not?
2. Tucker's Trucking is considering a project with a discounted payback period just equal to the project's life. The projections include a sales price of $38, variable cost per unit of $18.50, and fixed costs of $32,000. The operating cash flow is $19,700. What is the break-even quantity?

3. Before joining a startup, ask
•Do I trust this team? Is this the right company?
•What is my percentage of ownership?
•What is market rate salary and equity comp?
•What is the estimated valuation at exit?
•Do I need a lawyer or accountant (because devil’s in the details)?
•How long is my vesting schedule?
•What are tax implications?
•Can I make 83b election for restricted stock grants?
•Can I exercise my options early?
Startup Equity: More ART than SCIENCE
Key questions to ASK for Founders and Employees
Thursday, May 23, 13
4. Startup Equity: More ART than SCIENCE
but still need to do the MATH
1) Ownership = # Shares Granted toYou
Total Capitalization
Formulas Example
1) 1% = 100K Shares Granted
10M Total Shares Outstanding
2) Dilution Factor =
(#Your Future Shares + Future Investor Shares)
Total Cap. + #Your Future + Future Investor Shares
2) 0.17% = (50K + 2M)
(10M + 50K + 2M)
1% - 0.17% = 0.83% New Ownership
3)Your Payday at Exit* =
(Your Ownership X Company Exit Price)
– (Total Exercise Price)
3) $99K* =
(0.83% X $30M) - ($150K)
*Assuming $1 strike price and company acquisition price of $30M
BEFORE taxes, very rough est.

5. Real Life Example: Tumblr Acquisition by Yahoo!
How much does Founder David Karp take home?
• David Karp, CEO of Tumblr, is said to
have owned about 25% of Tumblr at
time ofYahoo! acquisition
• Total acquisition price = $1.1 Billion
• Total funds raised = about $125 Million
• Quick math:
$1.1 Billion total price
- 0.1 Billion returned to investors
(assuming 1x liquidation preference)
$1.00 Billion for shareholders
x .25 owned by David Karp
$250 Million payout approximately

6. Real Life Example: Tumblr Acquisition by Yahoo!
Words of co-founder and first hire, Marco Arment
Link to blog
“As for me, while I wasn’t a “founder” financially, David was generous with my employee
stock options back in the day. I won’t make yacht-and-helicopter money from the
acquisition, and I won’t be switching to dedicated day and night iPhones. But as long as I manage
investments properly and don’t spend recklessly, Tumblr has given my family a strong
safety net and given me the freedom to work on whatever I want.”

10. Startup Equity Review:
Owning a piece of the pie
Let’s say your startup is like
a pizza pie you and your
team make from scratch.
Individual slices are owned
by different people, but the
team’s goal is to grow the
pie as a whole.
As more people get
involved and invest, your
slice may get skinnier, and
the pie bigger.This is called
dilution.
Founders**
55% Investors*
25%
Employee Pool
20%
*Hypothetical situation where investors
have bought a quarter of the pie.
**If you own 51% and more of a
company, you own controlling interest.
“Employee ownership is
such an important part of
startup culture. It reinforces
that everyone is on the
team, everyone is sharing in
the gains, and everyone is a
shareholder.”
- Fred Wilson,AVC.com

11. Review: Employee Stock Ownership
at aVC-funded tech startup
Typically, total non-founder employee
equity pool tends to fall between
10% - 20%.
Title
Of
Total Shares
CEO 5.00 - 10.00%
C-level Executives 1.00 - 3.00%
VP, Directors 0.50 - 2.00%
Managers 0.25 - 1.00%
Board Directors 0.50%
The details of who owns what kind of
ownership is spelled out in
capitalization table, or cap
table. It’s considered private and
sensitive information.
Thursday, May 23, 13
12. 1. Founders and founding members receive common
stock. Special vesting schedule applies.
➡ TIP: draw up and execute a partnership agreement as soon as
humanly possible.
2. Restricted stocks are ownership interest issued to
employees at early stage companies while the value of
stock is low. Granted with certain restrictions, usually
vesting, sometimes performance. Deemed taxable
property.
➡ TIP: Make an 83B election within 30 days of grant to limit
future tax liability
3. Stock options are the most common form of
employee equity. Options grant the right to buy stock
at a pre-determined price, and is deemed taxable
property of grantee.Vesting restriction is standard.
➡ TIP: Exercise early.Ask for cash bonus to cover the exercise cost

13. Review: Vesting Schedule
4 year vesting with 1 year cliff is common.
1 year cliff means you don’t vest during
the 1st year. If you leave during this period,
you leave with no equity.
Unvested equity may be repurchased by the
company and returned to the employee
pool.
Idea is to avoid a “hit and run” situation and
to retain talented employees.

83B Election recognizing income
of $1 (FMV) - $1 (shr price) = $0
At end of 1 year anniversary,
25 shares vested to EE.
FMV rose to $5/shr.
($5 - $1) x 25 shares = $100
Don’t owe taxes until you sell.
After 2 years, 50 shares vested to EE.
FMV rose to $25/shr.
($25 - $1) x 50 shares = $1,200 value.
Don’t owe taxes until you sell.

15. Startup Equity Taxes 101
• Ordinary income tax = 10% - 39.6%
➡ Taken out of your paycheck
• Short term capital gains tax = 10% - 39.6%
➡ When you have owned equity for less than 1 year and sell it for profit
• Long term capital gains tax = 0% - 20%
➡ When you have owned equity for more than 1 year and sell it for profit
• Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)
➡ Due on exercise of Incentive Stock Option. Complex adjustment required. CONSULT an
accountant
link to About.com page
So complex, the IRS has
a special online
calculator for AMT
Assistance.
Thursday, May 23, 13
16. Stock Options
Options give you the right to buy equity, not the equity out right.
Exercising your option is when you buy the underlying stock at strike price.
Consider:
•Restrictions, such as vesting or performance
•Strike price must equal Fair MarketValue at time of grant
•Cost of exercising option
•Tax liability at exercise
•Tax liability at sale of underlying equity
‣Earn or vest it
‣Exercise it & pay taxes
‣Hold stock
‣Sell stock & pay taxes

Company ABC Share Price and Options
FMV SOP ISO
100 options granted to EE at FMV of
$10.00 with 4 year vest. Strike price is
equal to FMV at time of grant, $10.This is
called “At the Money”
25 options vested to EE. She can buy 25
shares at $10 and realizes gain: (FMV $25 -
Strike price $10) X 25 shares = $375
This spread between FMV and strike price
will be taxed.
If she sells the underlying stock, she will be
taxed again for the profit.
2 years in, management decide to incentivize
the EE with Incentive Stock Options. Similar 4
year vest.At this time, FMV is $53, so strike
price of ISO set to $53.
“Spread”

18. ISO vs NSO Summary
Check out this chart for full comparison
ISO = only employees
•Complex holding periods, annual limitations
•Spread on exercise can incur Alternative Minimum
Tax (AMT), a complex minefield best navigated by
experienced accountants
•Selling underlying stock at long-term capital gains tax
rate ONLY if holding periods are met. If not, then a
mix of short-term and long-term capital gains tax
rates.
•Not tax deductible to employer
NSO = employees and non-
employees
•More straight-forward and less complicated
•Spread on exercise will be taxed at ordinary income
tax rate
•Selling underlying stock will incur either short-term
or long-term capital gains tax depending on holding
period
•Deductible to employer

19. Equity Compensation: the Negotiables
Best if hire is C-level or executive-level, and company is pre-Series A fundraising.VC’s term sheet details can change
what’s negotiable and what’s not.
• Size of grant
• Equity grant upfront (Founders stock, not options)
• Early exercise of options
• Partial vesting on the grant date
• Borrow strike price against proceeds of liquidity event, in order to exercise without being
“out-of-pocket”
• Accelerated vesting if terminated without “cause”
• Accelerated vesting if company is acquired and there is change-of-control
• Single and double trigger
• Other negotiables: base salary, title, benefits and other perks
Thursday, May 23, 13
20. Startup Equity RECAP: More ART than
SCIENCE but still need to ASK and do the
MATH
Before joining a startup, ask
•Is this the right team and company for my success?
•What is my percentage of ownership?
➡ # shares you own / total shares issued
•How long is my vesting schedule?
➡ 4 years with 1 year cliff is standard
•What are tax implications?
➡Restricted stock: make 83B elections
➡Option holders: liable for capital gains tax at
exercise of NSO and when stock is sold for
both
•What is total company capitalization?
•What is the estimated valuation at exit?
•What do I need to do when I leave?
If you’re a founder or prospective
employee,
•Research market rate salary and equity comp
➡See appendices for references
•Read the partnership and employment agreements
•Negotiate like a business person
•Consult a lawyer or tax accountant
