Selected Issues in Equity Compensation, 16th Ed

by Corey Rosen

This book is not a general guide to equity compensation (for that, see books such as The Stock Options Book); instead, it has detailed chapters that address administration, state securities laws, federal securities laws, preparing for an IPO, handling death under a stock option plan, stock options and divorce, evergreen provisions, underwater options and repricing, designing and implementing an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP), the role of the transfer agent, annual meetings, and plan design and communication issues. A lengthy glossary and an index round out the book. In the sixteenth edition, the old chapter 4 on IPOs has now been rewritten and separated into two chapters, 4 and 5; a new chapter on equity in M&A (chapter 6) has been added; the chapter on ESPPs (now chapter 11) has been rewritten and expanded; and chapters 1, 2, 7 (the chapter on issues in death, formerly chapter 5), and 8 (the chapter on evergreen provisions, formerly chapter 6), plus the glossary, received minor edits.
