According to the Mike´s company benefits, the vesting schedule used is graded.

Explanation:

A vesting schedule is a benefit program provided by a company to encourage its employees´ loyalty through providing them unconditioned property rights over their retirement funds and/or shares after a certain labored period.

This program is detailed through percentages that are stablished according to the set types of vesting periods terms as follows:

1. Graded vesting schedule which increasingly vests over the determined worked time.

2. Cliff vesting schedule which after a employees´specific time working enables him/her to full property of his/her assets.

But if the employees´ pre-stablished working period is not fullfilled the company is not required to meet the vesting schedule originally set and could buy back shares.

Companies and employees validate this agreement writing a vesting certificate or letter which will ensure that the transfer will be made from part to part accordingly.
