Navigate to Securities then Equity awards. Locate the grant, click the three dots to the right and select Exercise options (net). Fill out all of the exercise cost and payment details. The total payment, whether in just shares, or cash and shares, must equal the total cost of the exercise.

Statutory stock options You have taxable income or deductible loss when you sell the stock you bought by exercising the option. You generally treat this amount as a capital gain or loss. However, if you don't meet special holding period requirements, you'll have to treat income from the sale as ordinary income.

Exercise your stock options to buy shares of your company stock, then sell just enough of the company shares (at the same time) to cover the stock option cost, taxes, and brokerage commissions and fees. The proceeds you receive from an exercise-and-sell-to-cover transaction will be shares of stock.
