Why it can work

  • Pulley shutdown forces cap table moves before the deadline.
  • Ownership, option and vesting records must stay accurate.
  • Tax valuation continuity depends on verified grant history.

Watch out

  • Transfer errors can misstate exercised options and equity.
  • Fear of breaking valuation continuity slows the move.
