Jain’s stock options, granted to him between June 2014 and February 2018, are due to vest between 1 and 10 years, documents reveal.
Jain, the only non-Chinese among Xiaomi’s senior management as listed in the IPO documents, has the third-highest stock options out of the senior employees currently with Xiaomi. CFO Chew Shou Zi and Senior Vice President, TV Business have stock options equivalent to 50 million Class B shares each.
