Could you elaborate on the mechanics of net shares withholding? I'm particularly interested in understanding the process from the perspective of an investor. What are the steps involved in withholding shares, and how does it ultimately impact the overall shareholding structure of a company? Also, what are the key factors that determine whether or not a shareholder opts for net shares withholding? Is there a specific threshold or percentage that triggers this action? Finally, how does net shares withholding differ from other forms of share transactions, and what are the potential risks or benefits associated with it?

When net shares are elected, the vested shares are reduced by the amount necessary to cover the tax withholding.

Upon choosing to net shares, a specific quantity of shares is retained upon vesting to fulfill the tax withholding obligation.

This retained number corresponds directly to the tax liability arising from the vested shares.

The vesting process refers to the unlocking of shares for ownership, typically based on time or performance metrics.

The remaining shares, after deduction for tax withholding, are then retained by the shareholder.
