How does reverse-vesting work?

How does reverse-vesting work? I understand the company has the right to "buy back" shares if the employee leaves early, but how exactly does that work? What price do they pay per share?

It depends on the terms of the stock purchase agreement - a common approach is to repurchase at the same price that the employee bought the stock for.

This answer is not a substitute for professional legal advice. This answer does not create an attorney-client relationship, nor is it a solicitation to offer legal advice. If you ignore this warning and convey confidential information in a private message or comment, there is no duty to keep that information confidential or forego representation adverse to your interests. Seek the advice of a licensed attorney in the appropriate jurisdiction before taking any action that may affect your rights. If you believe you have a claim against someone, consult an attorney immediately, otherwise there is a risk that the time allotted to bring your claim may expire.
