 Re: Stock Option Cost Basis JB, I re-created your scenario. Here is what I came up with. I input the correct information into Money, to receive my Grant/Vest schedule. At this point, I don't own anything. So there is no Cost Basis. There is no Market Value. There is simply a Grant transaction, and then 12 Vest transactions, and then the Expire transaction. I then decided to exercise & Sell my 2125 stock options. Unfortunately, there is no "Exercise & Buy" transaction that can be performed. When I "Exercise & Sell" my 2125 Stock options, the current quantity that I have falls by 2125. Now I create a "buy" of the stock itself, not the Stock Grant. This creates a second line item in my portfolio. The quantity is the 2125, the cost basis is 5312.50, the market value is 5312.50. (2125 X $2.50) This information is all correct. This is the end of my walkthrough. As far as I can see, the most important part happens after the initial creation of the Stock Option. At this point, I simply have the OPTION of buying the stock at a set price of $2.50. But I haven't yet bought anything, so there is no cost basis.

| Re: Stock Option Cost Basis This is just a typical stock option plan... On 11/15/2000, I vested 25% of 8500 shares= 2125 shares The remaining shares are vested quarterly over the next 3 years, i.e. 75% of 8500=6375 shares divided by 12 quarters=531.25 shares per quarter. I have not yet exercised(purchased) these options, but nevertheless it seems it should show the strike price of $2.50/share as a cost basis. When I exercise these, I will always pay $2.50/share, and I have until 11/09 to exercise the option. - quote - > -----Original Message----- > Initial Vest: 25% after 12 Months > Then Another: ????% every 4 Months > Expire in : ???? years from the grant date > Have you followed the schedule and purchased all 8500 shares? > What did you purchase the stocks for at each date? > Brian > "JB" <biermann[at]aaahawk.com> wrote in message > news:0ea701c33cc3$3beec960$a101280a[at]phx.gbl... > > Here goes... > > > Grant date: 11/15/99 > > Qty: 8500 shares > > Strike price: $2.50/share > > Vesting schedule: 25% after 12 mo., quarterly thereafter > > for next 3 years > > > Current market price is $15.81/share > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > JB, > > > > > Since this is your second post, still without an answer, > > how about this. > > > Why don't you post the necessary information to this > > thread for the > > > re-creation of the Employee stock Option.
