Q4. Refer to the information given in Q3 above. (One mark for a wholly correct answer.)

Assume that Jeremy did not resign on Jan 6, 2017 but that he stayed with UCL throughout 2018. The 100,000 shares thus vested and belonged to him.

As is the case with restricted shares Jeremy did not have to pay for the shares. The shares were given to him by the company. Now in fact someone had to pay for them. Explain who this was and how they paid.
