hello everyone hi welcome to the Channel of WallStreetmojo
[14]
friends today we have a topic which is your stock options versus RSU that is
[19]
a district stock units let's try to understand this in a complete detailed
[23]
format now see stock option versus restricted stock units are closed
[27]
elite but you know they have many differences between them t when we talk
[31]
about the stock option it means you know the employee employee stock option and
[35]
you know not the call and put options so you need to take care on that it's what
[40]
we are talking about is the employee stock option and not the or derivative
[43]
instrument the stock option is you know it is given to to high-performing
[47]
employees as a part of their remuneration so stock option versus
[50]
restricted stock units that is the So versus RSU they can use this shares
[56]
and can make a profit later as for the terms and the condition
[59]
of the stock options like you know if for example if a company hired a CEO and
[63]
offers him that's a 20,000 stock options the company determines that you know the
[68]
term of the stock option in such a case or in such a is such that if the CEO
[73]
would be able to exercise the right of the stock option after the for 3
[76]
years from joining the date so now the CEO receives the stock option at a rate
[80]
of or let's say $4 for per share so his purpose would be to increase the stock
[85]
price as as you know higher as he can in the next 3 years you know and after
[90]
the 3 years he can still sell his stock later let's say at $15 and can
[94]
make profit of eleven over here that is a huge profit so often you know stock
[98]
options are offered to employees who perform
[100]
searingly well and you know also the stock options are given a discount
[106]
these stocks options are given a discount what exactly over here are this con
[111]
means it means you know that it is less than
[116]
price of stock at that very particular point so that you know these stock
[121]
options can be considered as as a reward at the hand you know the RSU that is a
[126]
restricted stock units that the organization is offered to keep the
[129]
exceptional repeat exceptional employees in the organization but the way the RS
[135]
use are constructed is different RSU use are paid as for the you know what we
[141]
call as the vesting you can see as for the vesting schedules
[148]
and they don't offer all the shares together let's understand this
[151]
difference in our detail for my stock options versus the RSU well on the offer
[156]
date stock options can be issued any day after the issuance can be issued after
[161]
the issuance and over here the RSU can also issued anytime after the
[166]
issuance so in both the scenario stock can be issued after the issuance date
[170]
now the shareholders right there is a full right of the shareholders offered
[174]
that is a person who is been imparted such as he enjoys full right of the
[179]
shareholders that has been offered over here the RSU of the restricted rights of
[184]
the shareholders have been offered there will be soft losses there'll be some
[187]
hardest stringency that will be involved in as a part of the clause that's RSU
[192]
the voting right just like as the full right of the shareholders are offered so
[197]
the stock options they're considered as full ship without any sort of
[201]
restrictions so the voting rights are absent in case of RSU or the voting
[206]
rights are not given as it as restricted stock units the dividend feed the stock
[211]
options in case of the stock options just like they are ordinary shareholders
[215]
they are absolutely being being paid dividend and over here no dividend has
[220]
been paid or will be as you can see you know there is no voting right there's no
[223]
dividend that has been paid you see there is a restrictions that have been
[227]
involved in case of RS the settlement after the vesting see after the vesting
[231]
period is over the stock options become ah this is very important common stock
[235]
and it depends on the call employee how he or she wants to accessorized an
[239]
option now in the case of RSU the terms are followed and the shares offered are
[244]
set so the settlement can be deferred for receiving the tax benefit but a
[249]
certain to the certain extent well let's see the next one the payment during the
[253]
settlement in case of the stock options so the time of the settlement the stocks
[257]
have been in fingers of RSU the cash or it may be stopped that can mean what is
[262]
a tax-free see in case of the stock option taxes are paid at the time of the
[267]
sale of the long term capital in android that is at the time of the disposal
[271]
otherwise for non calling non-qualifying disposal for disposition
[275]
taxes are paid at the time of the sale at the income tax in case of RSU taxes
[280]
have been paid on the vesting not the disposal if at the time of
[284]
the settlement company grants stocks and employee keeps a stock for more than
[287]
12 months then the capital gain treatment can be well that is it for the
[291]
differences we have discussed in total 7 differences bye for now
[296]
and you should be having a clear idea exactly what is going around I will take
[301]
an example a short one so that you have a more you know an attachment towards
[306]
her this particular topic see let's say there's a call mr. kg he is a great
[312]
employee of his organization and he wants to keep him to entice him to say
[317]
that the company decides that you know they would pay kg closer to 2,000 what we
[323]
call as RSU but as per the vesting schedule of 400 shares each year 400
[330]
shares each year for the next 5 years okay so if mr. kg if he stays in the
[337]
organization for the next 2 years he would only get how much 800 shares so
[342]
there is another part of RSU which we need to understand that you know when RSU
[345]
are offered it also thing called capital gain taxes income taxes so
[351]
companies that pay capital gain that Capital gain taxes income taxes they employees
[355]
the employees were offered the RSU's need to pay those taxes if you take the
[360]
example of over here mr. kg let's say you know each RSU can be sold at $10 per
[366]
share he has been offered how much 2000
[369]
*10 and 20000 no and at the capital in taxes and the income tax
[374]
turns out to be 5000 then J or mr. K G he would only receive
[380]
20000-5000 after selling off and the final amount will be
[385]
15000 so after discussing the example let me recapture it everything let me
[390]
conclude as you can understand by far now that stock options and the
[394]
restricted stock units are offered that you know the companies can hold on to
[398]
extraordinary returns extraordinary Employees but you know stock options or RSU
[403]
of these of these options are quite different and the scope of each of them
[407]
are diverse - so that's why understanding them separately is very
[410]
important because it gives it options to think before applying so that's it for
[415]
this particular topic thank you everyone for joining the session
