We are a software company and have a partnership with another software company that gives us components to implement within our software and now they want to buy the intellectual property from us, their company worth nearly 10 million, I know they from time to time they get some funding in the USA.
They offered us upfront cash + a small % of equity options in their company, the options worth is 500k USD, my question is, does this equity option in the company give us any shares from the annual revenue?
