For private companies, Carta will now generate the resulting certificate after the option exercise funds are sent to the company and have succeeded (may take 1-2 business days).

Who this affects:

Private companies: Admins and shareholders

What was the problem:

Previously, resulting certificates were generated after Carta confirmed the funds from stakeholder, but before the funds were sent to the Company. This created reconciliation issues for the company as they could not verify if funds were sent to the company before issuing the certificate.

What’s new: 

We have now updated the flow to generate the certificate after funds are sent to the company, which may take 1-2 business days for the company to receive the funds.

This will help Company admins to reconcile exercise funds received during the exercise workflow.
