I left the company I worked for a month ago. I had a bunch of RSU (restricted stock units) due to vest after my final date of employment. I would have assumed I lose any un-vested stock including options and RSUs, but the RSUs vested. Some were sold automatically before the stock was "released" (I presume to pay the taxes owed since it's not a tax deferred program). Now, the remaining are available to sell and I'm hesitant...
I'm concerned that if I sell these shares, I might owe them back somehow (ie. it was a mistake). The separation agreement concerning stock is both vague and poorly written. What is specific seems like it was written by an amateur (full of mistakes and conflicting statements).
Would it be wise to write my former employer and attempt to validate? Given past experience, the wrong person will probably attempt to provide an answer or no answer will be given at all (my only communication channel isn't great). But maybe the paper trail would be wise to have before I sell?
