Best Answer

It means that one does not get to completely own the shares until specific requirements (such as length of employment) are met. The shares may also be divided into percentage over a period of time before you can obtain the full 100% shares. For example, 50% for 1st year and the remaining 50% on second year to get a full 100%. Another example is one can own 100% of the shares after two years of employment. If one quits within the first two years, then he or she can only own 50%, and the other 50% is owned by the employer.

What options are available to me when my stock option vesting period is up?

You have three options once the vesting period is over. You can buy shares at their vested value and hold them for a long time, you can buy shares at their vested value and then sell them after the waiting period (if applicable), or you can buy shares at their vested value, keep some and sell the rest. Good luck!

Can you use your ESOP account as collateral on a personal loan?

Yes, the vested portion of an employee stock ownership plan owned directly by an individual may be used for collateral. Some definitions: * "Owned directly by the individual" indicates that there is a clear trail of ownership that is held by a sole party (e.g., one has X shares of stock in the company or Y% of the company) * "Vested portion" indicates the portion of assets owned by an individual that no longer have any contingency attached (e.g., one may be vested in 50 shares of stock if I stay with the company 3 years after receiving those shares; for the first 3 years, that stock may not be used in full by the individual)
