In January, I negotiated an equity grant at a fixed value (hypothetically, $1 million, vested over 4 years). That $1 million value doesn’t change, it’s what my offer agrees to.
The strike price (value per share) is based on the average stock price N days before my starting day. If I started Feb 1st, the strike price would be based on the N days before Feb 1. If I push my start date to April 1st, it would be based on avg stock price N days before April 1st.
I would rather get $1mm worth of stock at $60/share than $1mm at $110/share, for example.
