Webcast Materials

Have your stock plan documents kept pace with today's rapid developments impacting stock compensation? Stock Plan documents are legally binding contracts that also must comply with federal securities and tax laws. Stock exchange rules, accounting principles and other best practices also affect stock plan design. On top of all this, plans and award agreements should include language that follows best practices in corporate governance and addresses institutional shareholder concerns. This webcast will list more than 25 separate plan design issues and include specific language for compliance with applicable law and best practices.

Featured panelists:

  • Mike Melbinger, Partner, Winston & Strawn
  • Howard Dicker, Partner, Weil, Gotshal & Manges
  • Martha Steinman, Partner, Dewey & LeBoeuf

Among many other topics, this webcast will cover:

  • Best practice language to address current hot button issues
  • Change-in-control, forfeiture, and non-compete provisions
  • Corporate governance and institutional shareholder concerns that impact your stock plans
  • Updates you need to make for recent tax law changes, including Sections 162(m) and 409A
