Ask HN: My first exit, I don't know what to do
3 by exitthrow | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hello, throwaway account. I worked for a company for a while, was offered stock options, bought the stock, left. The company has been acquired and I`ve had a HUGE bundle of documents from the lawyers. I want to get my payout! I`m totally lost as to what i need to do, are there any gotchas? Is there a time limit? The deal price is announced but hasn`t completed yet. I'm in the UK but the company is in the US. I suppose I should get legal advice but I don`t even know what kind of lawyer I could find would understand US corporate M&A law? Any advice / things to read appreciated.
