When the $12 dividend is paid out, do you expect the share price to drop by an equal amount, like it did last time when we sold Veritas? Because the company will be smaller and therefore be worth less overall.
Unvested RSUs have been talked about in great detail. I suggest you rewatch the All Hands from last week.
All Stocks, whether RSU, ESPP or privately purchased and whether they are vested or not, will receive the $12. If your stocks are unvested, these $12 per share are being held for you until they vest. RSUs only vest once a year (AFAIK) which is in summer. Seeing as we're past that stage now, any unvested RSUs will not vest before the close of the acquisition. If you are a member of Symantec Enterprise, these shares will be forfeit (see FAQ on transition page) whether you get a job at Broadcom or not. Again - you will not transfer any RSUs over to Broadcom and you will not receive any unvested RSUs when you're laid off. If you are however in CBU and will be a member of Remain Co. when these RSUs vest, you will receive both, the $12 per share plus whatever the shares are worth by that time.
UNVESTESD RSUs- what about those? Will they lose $12/share value upon special dividend? We lose that money bcoz they haven't vested?
So If I have vested RSU and ESPP do I need to sell it know before the merge or not?
Not for RSUs, you will get the dividend paid when your RSUs vest so you don't lose out on the stock price dropping.
