Considerations and trade offs
Deciding whether to participate in the exchange offer is a personal one.
Among the many factors to keep in mind:
What role do options play in your long-term financial strategy?
What is your tolerance for risk and your desire to diversify?
What is your need for current income?
What is your investment time horizon?
Please consider consulting with a professional financial,
legal or tax advisor for your specific situation.

Illustration of trade-offs
Consideration
Possible Scenario
Your long-term financial strategy
If your options are underwater, the exchange may increase the value of your
options.
You may consider participating fully in the exchange if your current strike price is
above the market price.
Your desire to diversify
The exchange will cause an extension of vesting time.
Depending upon your commitment to diversification, you may want to weigh the
potential financial upside vs. the time for additional vesting.
Your desire for current income
If you typically exercise your options to realize current income, participating in the
exchange will reduce the options you have immediately available.
Based on your cash flow needs, you may consider participating in
the exchange.
