Sell every share immediately; invest the after-tax cash at the market return for 1 yr, then liquidate. Diversified — no single-stock concentration risk.

Sold 2,678 shares at exercise to cover strike + tax; 2,322 shares held 1 yr for LTCG.
Social Security + Medicare are payroll taxes (collectively called FICA) — they apply because you're exercising as a current employee.
Both columns are stated in year-1 dollars: sell-now proceeds compound at the market return and pay LTCG on the gain at year 1; any cash paid out of pocket on the hold side carries the same opportunity cost.
Net at year N — by hold period

Equity comp at Amesite Inc.
- Amesite operates three distinct equity instruments simultaneously: (1) stock options for employees with a vesting period that changed from 2 years in FY2023/FY2024 to 4 years in FY2025, all with 10-year terms; (2) annual RSU grants to directors (worth $100,000 per year) that vest on the one-year anniversary of grant; and (3) a Deferred Fee Plan for Directors under which outside directors may take their quarterly cash retainer as deferred stock units (DSUs, shares issued in lieu of cash that are held and delivered at a future date) instead, with settlement deferred until the director leaves the board or a change in control occurs. The 2018 Equity Incentive Plan provides no automatic acceleration upon a change in control at the plan level; acceleration requires explicit language in individual award agreements.
- Vesting schedule: Employee stock options shifted from 2-year vesting (no cliff documented) in FY2023/FY2024 to 4-year vesting in FY2025. Director RSUs vest on the one-year anniversary of grant..

Use this calculator to estimate your Amesite Inc. (AMST) NSO exercise tax (federal, state, FICA), then compare selling now versus holding through the long-term capital gains threshold. Inputs are yours: grant terms, current price, your income, your state.
Example: at Amesite Inc. (AMST)'s last close of $1.12, exercising 5,000 NSOs with a $1 strike creates a $600 bargain element, taxed as ordinary income on the day you exercise. Combined federal + state + FICA on that bargain typically lands between $162 and $270 depending on your bracket and state. The calculator above computes the exact figure for your situation and compares selling now vs. holding through the long-term capital-gains threshold.
