Stock Plan

Fiv is a start-up company.  And one great opportunity of a startup is the ability to obtain stock before a company goes public.  Let me lay out the various opportunities to earn and purchase stock at Fiv.

The easiest way to earn stock is simply to do what you do best – sell homes.  The first transaction of each anniversary year will earn you 250 shares.  When you reach your cap, you receive 500 shares.   So that’s 750 shares just for doing what you do.  When you sponsor an agent, you get 500 shares after that agent closes their first transaction.  If you really get into attraction, you can earn 5,000 shares by directly sponsoring 100 agents.  To put that in perspective, you’d actually get 55,000 shares if you do that because you’ll get 500 shares for each of the 100 agents, which is 50,000, plus the 5,000 for reaching one hundred.  That’s some serious stock.  Each of these stock awards has a three-year vesting period from the date of issue.  There are some other milestone opportunities that I’ll get to shortly, but let’s examine the prospect to purchase stock. 

In an anniversary year, before you reach your cap, you can direct 5% of your commission to buy Fiv Realty stock and Fiv will give you an additional 25% in free shares.  Once you’ve capped, you can commit 10% of your commission, up to $15,000 a year, to purchase stock and receive 50% in free shares.  Until we are a public company, the share value is set one time per year based upon a third-party review of the company.  Once we are public, it will, of course, be based upon the actual share price.  There is no vesting period on these shares.

Fiv has some one-time stock grants for major milestones as the company grows.  10,000 shares will be awarded to the first five agents who sponsor five teams with at least five agents each who cap in their first year.  Next, 5,000 shares will be awarded to the first 25 agents to have 50 capping agents in their circles.  The first five agents to reach 500 agents in their Circles gets 5,000 shares.  The first five agents to reach 2,000 agents in their circles get 10,000 shares.  The first five agents to reach 2,500 agents in their circles get 20,000 shares.  Finally, 10,000 shares to the agent who opens up a state.  As I record this, we’re in about 15 states so there are still many available.  If you’re interested in opening a state, that’s are certain requirements so reach out to me directly to discuss those.   Obviously, these are pretty ambitious goals, but they are also some pretty impressive stock awards.
