During her time at PDF Solutions, Joy E. Leo had significant stock option holdings. In 2009, she was granted 50,000 stock options with a vesting schedule of 25% after one year and monthly thereafter. By the end of 2011, she had options to acquire 181,248 shares, ensuring she had a vested interest in the company's performance. Her option shares, however, were frozen before she resigned in June 2011. Interestingly, around that time, her stock options allowed her to potentially benefit if PDF Solutions showed growth, but market conditions kept her from capitalizing on significant financial gains during her tenure. In 2011, she realized value from her options amounting to roughly $65,100 during her final year, showing her deep connection to the company’s stock performance right up to her departure.
