Exercise Types
Type 1 - Exercise and sell all shares on the market– An optionee can take the options, convert them to stock and sell all of the
stock immediately. The Stock Options and Awards module facilitates a "cashless exercise" where optionees convert their options into stock without having to put up personal funds. Payment to the company is made upon the settlement of the sale proceeds.
Type 1.5 - Exercise options, sell just enough shares to pay for the options and hold the remaining shares
– An optionee can convert their options to stock, sell a portion of the stock and hold the remainder to sell at a later date. The Stock Options and Awards module facilitates a "cashless exercise" where optionees convert the necessary amount of options into stock without having to put up personal funds. The optionee will then be provided a share certificate for the remaining shares.
Type 2 - Exercise options and hold the stock– An optionee can convert the options to stock, and hold the stock. This is not a
cashless exercise. The optionee must provide payment for the stock. Solium must receive a certified cheque from the optionee within three business days of the exercise and hold submission to proceed with the exercise and the production of a share certificate to the optionee.
