After graduating college, I worked for a small biotech start up in 1998 – 1999. When I was released from the company I signed various documents and I was given shares of stock and stock options. I remember something about 50,000 shares so it's a lot.
I have since lost those documents, but the company should still have records of that. If they gave an employee shares of stock, they can't just take that away right?
I would like to email the company and ask for those documents and possibly cash in whatever I could.
How should I ask for all of that?
