All Unvested Shares Forfeited Upon Cessation of Service Clause Samples

The 'All Unvested Shares Forfeited Upon Cessation of Service' clause stipulates that if an individual ceases to provide services to a company—whether as an employee, contractor, or advisor—any shares that have not yet vested are automatically forfeited. In practice, this means that only the shares that have vested up to the date of termination remain with the individual, while the remainder revert to the company. This clause ensures that equity incentives are earned over time and encourages continued service, protecting the company from having to allocate ownership to individuals who do not fulfill their expected term of service.
