ISO to MIP?

My company has been acquired by a PE firm (majority stake). 

One year of the four year cliff has vested from my options, which we'll be getting a payout on imminently. That's the good news. 

The final three years have been cancelled and terminated, and will be replaced with a "Management Incentive Plan."

Does anyone have experience with this situation, or any guidance as to how an MIP pays out comparatively to traditional options? Especially for someone that's still an individual contributor? Thanks!

Those things are ALWAYS self serving to the people who have the money, not the people making the money. But its free money, so whatever, right?!?!

MIP's usually give defined option or share payouts based on specific objectives.

Typically they are related to more than individual performance. Such as hitting a certain growth rate, aggregate revenue number, net retained revenue number, or some combination of those.

Essentially sounds like they're trying to give you a similar share in the overall success of the company thru a different instrument than ISO's.

Also they are usually not subject to the same types of vesting rules as ISO's / RSU's, since they are based on specific performance thresholds.

It's all monopoly money at the end of the day, until you actually liquidate the shares.

Probably a lower payout but at least it will be cash

lower pay out, but you still get more than 0.

I have never seen a MIP but then again it might just be the same concept with a different title.

Have they given you any more details?

Keep us up-dated, this is not my field of expertise, but not much is. I would love to learn more about what this process is like since I usually work for publicly traded companies

I'd like to find out more when you learn more. It sounds better than the alternative, which is $0, but also more like discretionary bonuses.

Never even heard of an MIP before, tbh.
