I'm not going to change it quite yet, but I really don't think this is a "non-pro" question.

In fact, it might not be ethical for me to change it, seeing as how I proposed an answer - so I invite those who agree with me (as far as the characterization of the question is concerned) and who are able to change this question to "pro".

: I would think that the use of the word "exit" here means that this is equity invested prior to an exchange listing. So it is not just selling shares, but rather an equity interest taken prior to the company going public.
