Management Pool in LBO - Excel

How do you treat the cash proceeds received from excercising the management pool options (awarded) at exit in an lbo model

Is it distributed to:
1. both sponso and management - I think this is the case as the cash from exercise essentially becomes distributable equity value?

  1. Only sponsor - this makes less sense to me

  2. Ignore it (assuming is cashless exercise)

This is for a LBO interview case study

For reference, here is the example

Equity entry: 100mm
Equity at exit: $300mm
Mgmt option pool: 5%

Cash from option exercise: $5mm (100*5%; strike price is set at 1x initial investment)

Distributable Equity Value: $305mm

Sponsor equity: 95%*$305mm
Mgmt equity: 5% * $305mm

could someone please clarify?
