Just how much is that 2% really worth?

In my experience companies won't share what the percentage is of the stock you are getting. They just say you are getting X number of shares and won't tell you anything else. How do you verify what they are saying is correct?

Telling you total outstanding number of shares is required before you can have any idea what level of equity you are receiving. If they can't tell you that, then you have one problem. If they won't tell you, then you have another. Either way, I would be concerned.

I've never experienced that; I wouldn't stick around in any negotiation where that occurred.

to me, that's a red flag on multiple levels.
