He just wants to exercise the option. Only when you want to sell the stock, you need to find the buyer, even at that time, public market may not be necessary. You can sell to private equity who are interested.

I think many people here may confused with cashless exercise and cash exercise. When you are doing cashless exercise, you sell the stock same day.

For private companies, many people they can do exercise by paying the cash, and hold the stock, wating for the best time to sell. If your company never go to public,then you are hopeless.
