Slide 5

Severance Benefits – Likely Tax Implications CONFIDENTIAL Stock Options - ISOs There is no tax impact when 100% of your unvested stock options vest on your termination date There is no tax impact when you exercise your stock options (exercise and hold), except that if you continue to hold your shares beyond December 31 of the year of exercise, the spread between fair market value and your exercise price on the date of exercise will constitute an item of adjustment for alternative minimum tax purposes and, as such, you may have to pay alternative minimum tax If you sell these shares at a gain you will be taxed on the gain, which is the spread between the sale price and your exercise price (generally, the gain will be taxed as ordinary income or long term capital gains, depending on if you held the shares for 1 year from the exercise date and 2 years from the grant date) Example: You hold an ISO to purchase 500 shares with an exercise price of $4.00 per share You exercise 500 shares on 6/30/20 when FMV is $10 – you will recognize an “item of adjustment” for alternative minimum tax purposes of $3,000 ($10 less $4 = $6/share gain * 500 shares) and may be required to pay alternative minimum tax at both the federal and state level You sell these shares on 6/30/21 when the FMV is $12 – You are taxed on the gain of $4,000 ($12 less $4 = $8/share gain * 500 shares)


Slide 6

Severance Benefits – Likely Tax Implications CONFIDENTIAL Stock Options - NSOs There is no tax impact when 100% of your unvested stock options vest on your termination date When you exercise, you are taxed on the spread between the exercise price and FMV on exercise date as ordinary income and you must remit withholding taxes to the company When you sell these shares, you are taxed on the spread between the selling price and FMV on exercise date as capital gains (LT or ST, depending on the holding period) Example: You hold 500 shares of NSOs with an exercise price of $4.00 You exercise 500 shares on 6/30/20 when the FMV is $10.00 – You are taxed on the spread of $3,000 ($10 less $4 = $6/share gain * 500 shares) You sell these shares on 6/30/21 when the FMV is $12 – You are taxed on the gain of $1,000 ($12 less $10 = $2/share gain * 500 shares)


Slide 7

Severance Benefits – Likely Tax Implications CONFIDENTIAL RSUs Your RSUs are taxed as ordinary income when your shares are delivered to you (“settlement date”) RSU income is calculated based on the value of Menlo’s stock price at settlement and you owe income taxes at the time of settlement When you sell these shares, you are taxed on the spread between the selling price and FMV on settlement date Menlo will “sell to cover” income taxes due at the time of settlement by selling a portion of the shares issued to you pursuant to your RSUs Example: You hold 500 shares of RSUs 500 shares are delivered to you on 6/30/20 when the FMV is $10.00 – You owe income taxes on $5,000 ($10/share * 500 shares = $5,000) Menlo will sell a portion of your RSU shares (via e*trade) to pay your income taxes based on your statutory withholding rate (sell to cover) – For example, $5,000 * 30% Tax Rate = $1,500. So Menlo will sell 150 shares @$10/share to cover your taxes You sell the remaining shares on 6/30/21 when the FMV is $12 – You are taxed on the gain of $700 ($12 less $10 = $2/share gain * 350 shares)
