Thanks again!

You should be able to sell your shares to a private buyer.

Is there a particular "terminology" to this ability I should ensure I confirm with the company?

you should also ask how you will be evaluated

Great point and on my list.

The biggest question you should answer is where the $9 came from.

It is indeed the number from the latest founding round 2 years ago so I assume it to be high.

you could try ask the company about what liquidation preferences

Assuming this relates to preferred stocks and if they have been issues to investors? On my list of questions.

Depending on how much research you want to do, you could try and do some research on how much a private investor would pay for shares

Any idea how you would go about it?

Thanks again for your great input. Much appreciated.
