How competitive are your stock plans? Find out in this webcast, as the NASPP and Deloitte preview the results of our 2010 Domestic Stock Plan Design Survey. This is the industry's most comprehensive survey on stock plan design and practices, covering the use of stock options, restricted stock and performance-based awards. The webcast will present the survey results and compare them to past surveys to illustrate growing trends.

Featured panelists:

Mike Kesner, Principal, Deloitte Consulting
Tara Tays, Manager, Deloitte Consulting
Barbara Baksa, Executive Director, NASPP

Among many other topics, this webcast will cover:

Stock options—are they dead or alive? Continued usage of stock options (or lack thereof) and trends in option design such as net exercise, termination and retirement provisions, and transferability.
The continued trend towards full value awards, including usage of restricted stock vs. units; policies and procedures for tax withholding on awards; payment of dividends; retirement provisions; and deferral programs.
Increasing usage of performance-based plans, including the most popular performance measures and other key design considerations.
Trends in policies and grant practices, including grant guidelines, grant approval, and overhang/burn rates.
The impact of the economic slump on plan design and grant policies.
