Vesting of Units Clause Samples

The Vesting of Units clause establishes the schedule and conditions under which ownership interests, such as equity units or shares, are gradually granted to a recipient, typically an employee or founder. This clause outlines the timeline for vesting—often over several years—and may include provisions for accelerated vesting in certain circumstances, such as a company sale or termination without cause. Its core function is to incentivize long-term commitment and performance by ensuring that recipients earn their full ownership stake over time, thereby protecting the company from immediate departures and aligning interests between stakeholders.
