Equity comp at Syntiant Corp.
- Pre-IPO RSUs vest only when a time-based service condition and a liquidity event condition are each satisfied, with the IPO satisfying the liquidity event condition within six months of the offering; neither condition alone is sufficient. A tranche of executive RSUs additionally requires achievement of market capitalization milestones between $1.5 billion and $3.5 billion within five years of grant alongside continued service. Named executive officers also hold separate Severance and Change in Control Agreements providing full acceleration of all outstanding equity awards upon termination without cause or for good reason occurring within 30 days before or 12 months after a change in control, creating a double-trigger layer for that executive subset only.
- Vesting schedule: RSUs under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan require satisfaction of both a time-based service condition and a separate liquidity event condition before any RSU vests; if either condition is unmet by the expiration date the RSU is forfeited. A subset of executive RSUs carry an additional market capitalization milestone requirement with thresholds ranging from $1.5 billion to $3.5 billion, both the milestone and the service condition must be met within five years of the grant date..

Syntiant Corp. NSO exercise creates ordinary income on the bargain element (federal, state, and FICA) at the price on the day you exercise. The calculator works at any valuation, so you can model your exercise cost at the current 409A FMV, an expected IPO price, or post-IPO scenarios.
Example: at Syntiant Corp.'s last reported price of $8.89, exercising 5,000 NSOs with a $2.67 strike creates a $31,100 bargain element, taxed as ordinary income on the day you exercise. Combined federal + state + FICA on that bargain typically lands between $8,397 and $13,995 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.

Syntiant Corp. equity questions
- How is a Syntiant Corp. NSO exercise taxed?
- Exercising a non-qualified stock option (NSO) creates ordinary income on the bargain element (the price on the day you exercise minus your strike), subject to federal income tax, state income tax, and FICA. The calculator above computes that tax for your Syntiant Corp. grant and compares selling the shares now against holding past the one-year mark for long-term capital-gains treatment.
- Does Syntiant Corp. grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Syntiant Corp. 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.
- Are Syntiant Corp. shares eligible for QSBS?
- They might be. Qualified small business stock (QSBS) under Internal Revenue Code Section 1202 can exclude federal tax on much of the gain when shares were acquired at original issuance from a C-corporation while its gross assets were under $50 million, and held at least five years. Whether your Syntiant Corp. shares qualify turns on when you acquired them and the company's asset size at that time.
