Folks in Linkedin! What happened to your RSUs after being acquired by Microsoft? What was the impact on their price and how were you compensated? Could anybody share information on it?
It got converted to msft stock at the fair market value at the time. Folks who joined before the acquisition but after the huge dip in LinkedIn stock benefited the most as it shot up significantly cuz of the acquisition
What this guy says
All unvested stocks would vest immediately and you'd be paid per stock at 8bb valuation. Terms of acquisitions can be different, comparing with LinkedIn wouldn't be the best idea. What was your joining offer like, at what valuation? YOE?
We got cash money
Vested stock was cashed out at $196 per share. All unvested shares were converted to MSFT shares. MSFT was like $50 a share so LNKD shares at $196 were worth nearly 4x. If you had 100k unvested LNKD shares they were converted into nearly 400k worth of MSFT shares.
Last sentence has problem. Remove “worth”.
Which would now be “worth” over 800k.
To add to the question, what happened if you joined LinkedIn after the acquisition was announced, but before it occurred?
