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.

Equity comp at Global Interactive Technologies, Inc.

  • Global Interactive Technologies (Nasdaq: GITS, formerly Hanryu Holdings) is already a publicly traded company, not a private pre-IPO company: it completed its Nasdaq IPO in 2023 and renamed in December 2024. This matters for equity holders because double trigger vesting (a rule requiring both time served and a company sale or IPO before restricted stock units, RSUs, convert to real shares) is a pre-IPO protection that no longer applies once shares already trade on the open market. Under the company's 2022 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee holds broad discretion to shorten vesting periods, extend option exercise windows, remove award restrictions, or convert incentive stock options (ISOs) into non-qualified options (NSOs) at its sole discretion, wider latitude than many equity plans grant.
