It means this shit is never gonna IPO

ByteDance ToeJam666 Jul 11, 2023

Really? Is that what it means? Someone told me to wait because the buyback means BD is looking to regain control of more RSUs before IPO. I’m just a low-level recent graduate and don’t know many things about finance or monies. I want to know what to do with my 7,500 RSU credits.

Probably means no ipo anytime soon

Do you mean buybacks? Vests happen irrespective of IPO

ByteDance xi🧸 Jul 11, 2023

They will be single triggered now. So we will have to pay taxes on the rsu, but they will allow for you to sell some for cash

At what price?

ByteDance ToeJam666 Jul 11, 2023

OP means buyback.

ByteDance Ifnbdusnwv Jul 11, 2023

please let it finally happen

ByteDance ToeJam666 Jul 11, 2023

IPO or buyback? And should we sell back our RSUs or hold on to them until next year?

If it really said “Vest” instead of buyback, this is a non-event. Your shares vest with or without IPO. Looks like someone got excited to see shares in their portfolio and posted this. Or TikTok was not doing the right thing and started doing it now.

Private Rsu is different from public Rsu. A lot of private companies have double trigger which means if you leave the company before liquidity IPO you forfeit all shares

Google badname Jul 11, 2023

Yeah. But vesting has nothing to do about what you describe. Vesting either happens or doesn’t. TikiTok not vesting stocks would have been a bigger news.
