Sell every share immediately; invest the after-tax cash at the market return for 1 yr, then liquidate. Diversified — no single-stock concentration risk.
Exercise + hold 1 yr
| Sale proceeds (year 1) | |
| LTCG tax (federal + state + NIIT) | $0 |
| Net at year 1 | $178,216 |
Sold 2,679 shares at exercise to cover strike + tax; 2,321 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 grants at Matternet, Inc. typically include incentive stock options (ISOs) and non-qualified stock options (NSOs).
Andreas Raptopoulos founded Matternet in Mountain View, California in 2011 with Dimitar Pachov, Paola Santana, and Darlene Damm. The company builds an autonomous drone delivery network: aircraft, ground stations, and cloud dispatch software that move medical samples and packages between fixed sites. In September 2022, the FAA granted its M2 aircraft Type Certification, a standard airworthiness approval, the first issued to a non-military drone. Matternet went public via a reverse merger (merging into an already-public shell company) with Los Altos Ventures Corp, closing May 22, 2026, and began trading on the OTCQB market as MTTN on September 21, 2026.

Equity comp at Matternet, Inc.
- In May 2026, Matternet became a public company through a reverse merger (combining with an already-public shell company, Los Altos Ventures Corp, instead of running a traditional IPO). Each legacy Matternet share was exchanged for about 2.08 shares of the new public entity, and Matternet raised roughly $33 million in a private placement (new shares sold directly to investors) as part of the deal. On June 30, 2026, Matternet filed an S-1 registering the resale of up to 51,602,243 shares held by existing stockholders, alongside a new 2026 Equity Incentive Plan and 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (675,000 shares reserved). Because the company went public via this route rather than a conventional IPO, equity holders should confirm current lock-up and resale-registration status directly with the company rather than assuming standard IPO liquidity timelines apply.
