Selected Issues in Equity Compensation

by Barbara A. Baksa, Sorrell Johnson, Thomas LaWer

This book is not a general guide to equity compensation (for that, see books such as The Stock Options Book and The Decision-Maker's Guide to Equity Compensation); instead, it has detailed chapters that address administration, state securities laws, federal securities laws, preparing for an IPO, post-IPO considerations, equity considerations in M&A transactions, handling death under an equity plan, equity awards and divorce, evergreen provisions, underwater options and repricing, designing and implementing an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP), the role of the transfer agent, and annual meetings. A lengthy glossary rounds out the book. For the 17th edition (2021), chapters 1, 2, 5, 6, 11, 12, and 13 were revised and updated, and the book was re-typeset in a larger, easier-to-read font.
