What Vanward calculates
Sale-triggered payouts, option pricing method allocations and related expense.
The method
- For eligible sale or IPO awards, multiply the approved participation in proceeds, fixed amount or units above a hurdle by the vested fraction, including entered acceleration. Round the payout to cents.
- For the option pricing method, value each waterfall interval as the difference between Black-Scholes calls at its breakpoints. Allocate intervals by class shares. Allocate residual cents by largest remainder so gross classes total equity value; then apply the entered marketability discount. Optional backsolve brackets the sponsor price before that discount.
- Recognize service expense with the stock compensation engine. Period expense is the change in cumulative rounded cents; remeasured awards use the applicable measurement.
