Using a leveraged ESOP to buy out a departing or retiring business owner is a strategy with considerable benefits for all involved. For the owner, it is a means to ‘cash out’ with potentially significant tax benefits. For employees, it creates a real ownership stake in the company. Transitioning Ownership in the Private Company illustrates the issues and decisions that are part of the complex leveraged ESOP process. It is written for entrepreneurs and business owners who may be contemplating an ‘exit strategy’ for their business.

Equity Alternatives: Restricted Stock, Performance Awards, Phantom Stock, SARs, and More, 18th Ed

For many companies, stock options, ESPPs, or ESOPs are not the only stock plans to consider. Instead, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, phantom stock, stock appreciation rights (SARs), performance awards, and/or direct stock purchases are an essential part of their compensation strategies. The book includes eight chapters on what the plan alternatives are, how they work, how to combine them, and the legal and accounting issues they raise. The authors include leading authorities from law firms, other consulting firms, NASPP, the Beyster Institute, and the NCEO. In the 19th edition, which went to press at the end of 2021, chapters 3 and 6 were revised and updated, and minor changes were made to chapter 8.
