The

challenge

The challenge

The

challenge

Promoting a culture of ownership and making equity tangible to employees.

Sell to cover. To cover their exercise cost and tax liability, employees had to sell a portion of their vested shares.

Cashless exercise. To avoid an out of pocket expense and downside risk for the sellers, the exercise cost had to be deducted from their proceeds of sale.

Direct exercise. To let options holders exercise their options by their own means, a dedicated solution had to be built.

From collecting seller information to wiring payments, Semper handled the entire execution work stream on platform. Closing happened within 3 weeks. 

Semper coordinated with Kry and their corporate lawyers to produce the legal documents required for the transaction (SPA, S431 election, exercise notice etc.). We also guided Kry and their local payroll providers on all taxes associated with sell to cover and withholding.

We onboarded and conducted KYC on all the sellers (both individuals and corporates) and facilitated execution of all legal documents.

Payments

Payments

Cashless secondary transactions require careful handling of payments. Semper provided the infrastructure to collect the money from investors, then pay the exercise price and withholding taxes to Kry, deduct Semper's own fees, and pay the net proceeds to the sellers.

Seller queries were responded to by the Semper team on average in under 15 minutes.


Sellers may not have participated in a secondary transaction before so reactivity of support is often key to closing within the necessary timeframe. Semper provided support on all questions related to Kry's TLP and on direct exercise of options. Any queries requiring financial or tax advice were redirected accordingly.

Can I use a non-swedish bank to receive my funds?

Can I exercise the warrants myself?
