Evmand Corp Files Amended S-1: RSU & Capital Gains Tax Exposure Calculator (Sep 24, 2026)

What Changed

Evmand Corp filed an amended S-1/A with the SEC on September 24, 2026. This amendment typically signals imminent IPO pricing within 2 to 4 weeks. For employees holding pre-IPO equity, this filing starts the clock on lockup expiration, which for most tech offerings runs 180 days post-listing.

The Numbers That Matter

Filing Milestone	Typical Timeline to Event	Tax Trigger	Liquidity Window
Initial S-1 filing	90 to 120 days to pricing	None yet	Zero
Amended S-1/A (current)	14 to 28 days to pricing	None until sale	Zero
IPO pricing date	Day 1 of trading	AMT risk on ISOs	Restricted
Lockup expiration	180 days post-IPO	Ordinary or LTCG	Full liquidity

What This Means for Your Equity Position

If you hold ISOs in Evmand, the AMT spread between your strike price and the IPO price becomes taxable in the year you exercise, even before lockup ends. On a $500K spread, that is $140K in AMT liability due April 15, 2027, with zero cash proceeds until March 2027 at earliest. If you hold RSUs, they vest and convert to taxable income at the IPO price on day one, regardless of lockup.

Scenario Analysis: ISO Exercise Tax Impact

Position Value at IPO Price	Strike Price Basis	AMT Spread (28% rate)	Cash Required Before Liquidity
$500,000	$50,000	$126,000	$126,000 by April 15, 2027
$1,000,000	$100,000	$252,000	$252,000 by April 15, 2027
$2,000,000	$200,000	$504,000	$504,000 by April 15, 2027

This assumes you exercised ISOs pre-IPO and held through the listing. If Evmand prices at $20/share and your strike was $2, every 1,000 shares creates $5,040 in AMT tax due with no liquidity for 6 months.

RSU Vesting at IPO: Immediate Tax, Delayed Cash

RSU Grant Value at IPO	Ordinary Income Tax (37% + 1.45% Medicare)	Net Cash After Tax if Sold at Lockup	Required W-2 Withholding
$500,000	$192,250	$307,750 (if price holds)	$110,000 minimum
$1,000,000	$384,500	$615,500 (if price holds)	$220,000 minimum
$1,500,000	$576,750	$923,250 (if price holds)	$330,000 minimum

Most employers withhold only 22% federally on RSU vesting under $1M, leaving an $82,000–$84,000 gap on a $500K vest once full ordinary income and Medicare taxes apply. That gap compounds quarterly estimated tax penalties if not covered by September 15, 2027.

Post-Lockup Scenarios: What Happens If Price Moves

Lockup Expiration Price Change	Original Tax Paid on $1M Position	Actual Proceeds at Sale	Net Gain or Loss vs. Tax Paid
No change (holds IPO price)	$384,500	$615,500	Break-even
Down 30%	$384,500	$430,850	$46,350 gain, but 69% less than expected
Down 50%	$384,500	$307,750	Loss of $76,750 vs. tax paid
Up 40%	$384,500	$861,700	$477,200 net gain

If Evmand drops 50% between IPO and lockup expiration, you pay full tax on the IPO price but sell into a market worth half that. On a $1M RSU vest, you owe $384,500 in tax but net only $307,750 after sale. You are $76,750 underwater vs. the tax bill, before accounting for the opportunity cost of capital tied up for 6 months.

The ISO Early Exercise Calculation

If you still hold unexercised ISOs and the 409A valuation is under $5/share while the expected IPO price is $20, early exercise before pricing locks in long-term capital gains treatment on the future $15 spread. On 50,000 shares, that converts $750K of future ordinary income (37% rate, $277,500) into long-term gains (20% rate, $150,000). Net federal savings: $127,500. But you must hold 2 years from grant and 1 year from exercise, and you need $250K in cash today to execute the early exercise at $5/share.

Shares	Current 409A Price	Exercise Cost Today	Expected IPO Price	LTCG Savings vs. Ordinary Income
25,000	$5	$125,000	$20	$63,750 federal
50,000	$5	$250,000	$20	$127,500 federal
100,000	$5	$500,000	$20	$255,000 federal

This only works if you can cover the AMT on the spread in April 2027 and the stock does not crater post-IPO. If Evmand prices below your early exercise cost, you have an unrealized loss with taxes already paid.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When does the 180-day lockup start? A: The day Evmand begins trading on the public exchange, not the S-1/A filing date.

Q: Can I sell RSUs immediately at IPO if I need to cover the tax? A: No. Lockup restrictions apply to all employee equity, including vested RSUs, for 180 days unless the underwriter grants early release.

Q: Does AMT paid on ISO exercise offset my tax when I sell? A: Yes, but only to the extent your regular tax exceeds AMT in the sale year. The credit can take 3 to 7 years to fully recover.

Q: What happens if Evmand withdraws the IPO after this filing? A: Your equity remains illiquid and private. ISO early exercise tax is not refundable. RSUs remain unvested under the original schedule.
