Example 28.4 (Move now or wait for the payment?)
Illustrative terms: base $250 000, expected award $350 000, 40% deferred over three years, awards paid in February; three months’ notice, three of garden leave and a six-month paid non-compete; a buyout of all forfeited awards with probability one-half; a three-year horizon. Unvested deferrals are $280 000. Resigning at the start of February forfeits $659 167 and costs, net of the expected buyout, $694 167: a raise of 38.6% on the $600 000 package. Waiting one month, until the award is paid, cuts the forfeiture to $338 333 and the neutral raise to 30.5%. Without a buyout the February move needs 56.1%; with a certain one, 21.1% (Figure 28.1).
