How does the equity tool calculate the value of my equity grants?

Origin uses a combination of key data points to determine and track the value of your equity grants:

• The 409a valuation entered for your company represents the current fair market value per share, as periodically determined by an independent appraiser.
• For stock options, we use the strike price specified in your grant to calculate the cost to exercise the options.
• The number of shares or options awarded and vested amounts indicate how much equity you have currently available.
• Vesting schedules forecast how many shares or options will become available in the future.

By bringing together your company's 409a value, grant details, and vesting expectations, our system can provide an estimated current value for your grants and expected future value.

As the 409a valuation changes over time, Origin adjusts the value accordingly so your estimates stay up-to-date.
