Equity-Based Incentive Alternatives for ESOP Companies (Friday, November 10, 12:45 p.m. - 1:45 p.m.)
Employers are grappling more than ever with the challenges of attracting and retaining employees and may find it desirable (or necessary) to offer programs that provide an incentive beyond base pay, annual bonus, and/or retirement benefits. ESOP companies may not have access to the same equity award vehicles that non-ESOP companies do, but alternative arrangements are available. This session will enhance attendees’ knowledge of equity-based incentive alternatives by describing arrangements often used by ESOP companies, highlighting design and operation requirements and considerations, and providing an open forum for participants to ask questions, confirm or adjust their understanding of various programs, and discuss strategies.
Learning Objectives:
- Define equity-based incentive programs.
- Understand the objectives of various types of equity-based incentive programs.
- Assess whether or what type of an equity-based incentive program could be a good complement to your company's ESOP.
Speakers:
- Kathleen Scheidt, Partner, Ice Miller LLP
- Alex Mounts, Partner, Krieg DeVault, LLP
