vesting of shares droits acquis

Explanation:
"The Plan allows for awards of deferred stock and restricted stock, under which the receipt or vesting of shares is subject to conditions such as continued employment and/or satisfaction of performance objectives, as determined by the Plan administrator. The Plan allows for awards of stock appreciation rights, which are rights, granted in conjunction with options or on their own, to receive cash, common stock or restricted or deferred stock, as specified by the Plan administrator. No stock appreciation right may be exercisable until six months after grant. Vesting, exercisability or receipt of awards under the Plan may be accelerated upon a "change in control" as defined in the Plan."

Explanation:
Quelques propositions, si la définition ci-dessous s'adapte bien à votre contexte, comme j'en ai l'impression :
jusqu'à ce que l'attribution (ou acquisition, ou transfert... ) devienne définitive / au perfectionnement de l'attribution / l'acquisition de la totalité des droits afférant aux actions / jusqu'à la mise à disposition...

In the case of founders of a company, shares are being issued at a nominal price because the founders are committing their know-how and expertise to the company. But, what if a founder receives 10% of the shares of the company and then quits or gets killed? Is it fair that she or her survivors end up with shares that were given in return for something not yet realized? For this reason, a vesting schedule may be useful, i.e. shares are fully "vested" over a number of years. If the holder departs from the company, some or all (the rules are up to the founders) of these shares should either be cancelled or subject to re-purchase rights by other shareholders or by the company itself. These apsects ought to be dealt with in a "shareholders agreement". http://www.sfu.ca/~mvolker/biz/structur.htm
