Exercising options and warrants
What's new?
We’ve simplified Carta’s UI to help Admins exercise multiple options or warrants in one streamlined workflow.
What's important or valuable about this change?
When interest holders elect to exercise their outstanding options and warrants, you can now enter the exercises all together in Carta to reflect the transactions on the cap table. You can also issue new interests to the holders and keep a record of the transaction in the interest history.
What do I need to do?
In the interests ledger, navigate to the interests you want to exercise in the left sidebar.
Select one, multiple or all interests.
Navigate to the Action button and select Exercise.
The new UI will walk you through exercising the interests, including:
- Reviewing the destination interest type that this interest will settle into once it is exercised
- Specifying the details of the interest being exercised, including the number of units to exercise and the price per unit
- Specifying the new interest details, including the invested capital amount, issue price, and any applicable custom fields
- Reviewing everything and confirming the exercise
After you confirm, the interests resulting from the exercise will be issued, affected interests will be updated, and cap table reports will reflect the exercises. You can also view the transaction in the interest history.
