Ask HN: Am I entitled to financial info before exercising stock options?

Hey HN!

I recently left my job at a startup (DE C-corp) in the Bay Area. I have some vested stock options that I am considering exercising. Am I entitled to see any financial information about the company before exercising my options? Additionally, after exercising these options (and holding my equity) what ongoing company information should I be granted access to?

If the company qualifies for Rule 701, they may be required to give you the Rule 701 disclosure. That document may contain financial information, but not necessarily.
