I'm trying to move to Japan and continue to work at my current company, a UK startup. However, one of the issues I'm facing is what to do about my unvested EMI stock options. My employer has said that I will need to be hired through an EOR, so legally I'd be employed in Japan.
Since I currently have some EMI stock options vested, what will happen with my unvested stock options?
Is there a pathway in which I can continue to vest these shares without drastic tax implications? If not, is there an alternative?
My startup also has a US parent company in which it may be possible for them to issue shares from, but this may not be their preference.
What would be the best way forward for me?
