Sure, but I'm not really clear on what that has to do with the situation described?
And he calls them vested shares though, not vested options, though maybe he's incorrect.
And it's not like you forfeit them instantly after leaving anyways. You usually have at least 90 days. And the fact that the value of the company is so much lower now is favorable, if you think the value will recover.
But again, none of this has anything to do with the "1% payout" here that is still totally unexplained.
