Dude. Bro. I advise other people on their stock grants, and see this all the time. Thanks for assuming I'm just a schlob.

Hi, company lawyer here. Sorry if that sounded dismissive. You're completely right that there's a right of first refusal built somewhere into most stock issuances to team members. They vary in who holds the right, the range of transactions that trigger the right, exceptions to the right, and how it operates. Accordingly, we look at the paperwork for each company and each shareholder in order to structure a transaction that works, if possible.
"just a schlob". on my next business card.
ESO Fund?
