Summary

  • Adds a new FAQ entry to the share options handbook page addressing the increasing number of third-party platforms and individuals reaching out to employees about buying their PostHog shares
  • Explains that PostHog's governing documents require board approval for any stock transfer (including forward contracts, futures, and constructive sales), and that no third-party platform has been authorized
  • Covers former employees, explains the risk these platforms shift onto option holders, and clarifies that legitimate secondary sale opportunities will always be communicated internally

Context

Employees have been receiving unsolicited LinkedIn ads and direct messages from platforms claiming to buy their PostHog shares. This entry gives the team clear, plain-language guidance on why these offers aren't valid and what to do if approached.
