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 Lyntris Inc.
- Lyntris was only recently formed: a Delaware LLC organized April 6, 2026, converted to a Delaware corporation May 1, 2026, then combined with two Trive Capital portfolio companies (Accelint and Vitesse) on May 7, 2026, ahead of its July 23, 2026 S-1 filing. Its pre-IPO employee equity is not standard RSUs. Predecessor Accelint granted 'P units' (a profits-interest structure, a form of equity tied to future appreciation rather than a share grant) through FS Management Equity LLC, with about $2.1 million of unrecognized compensation expense on unvested P units as of December 31, 2025, vesting over a weighted-average 3.7 years. Accelint separately adopted an August 15, 2024 Phantom Equity Appreciation Plan, granting phantom units to select employees that pay out only upon a change in control, IPO, or liquidation event while the holder remains employed. No standard double-trigger RSU disclosure was found for post-IPO equity awards.

Use this calculator to estimate your Lyntris Inc. (LYNX) 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 Lyntris Inc. (LYNX)'s last close of $12.62, exercising 5,000 NSOs with a $3.79 strike creates a $44,150 bargain element, taxed as ordinary income on the day you exercise. Combined federal + state + FICA on that bargain typically lands between $11,920 and $19,867 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.

The calculator above computes that tax for your Lyntris Inc. grant and compares selling the shares now against holding past the one-year mark for long-term capital-gains treatment.
- Does Lyntris Inc. grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Lyntris Inc. typically takes the form of incentive stock options (ISOs) and non-qualified stock options (NSOs). Incentive stock options can trigger the alternative minimum tax (AMT) when you exercise.
