{"product_id":"the-decisionmakers-guide-to-equity-compensation-2nd-ed-9781932924848","title":"The Decision-Maker's Guide to Equity Compensation  2nd Ed","description":"\u003cp\u003eMany books discuss the tax  legal  and other aspects of equity compensation  but this book is different: It focuses on helping people who are designing plans decide what kinds of equity to choose  and who should get how much and when. Are options a better fit than restricted stock? What are the pros and cons of phantom stock and stock appreciation rights? Should employees be able to buy stock? If so  how? Who will be eligible and under what rules? How will awards be earned  and how will the company provide liquidity for the awards? All too often  these and other issues are ignored or dealt with by guessing  applying rules of thumb  or applying the approach that someone else happens to be familiar with. This book helps readers make educated  reasoned decisions about the equity compensation strategies they need  not the ones someone else might want them to use. At the same time  the book also covers the general legal  tax  and other rules applicable to each plan type: stock options  unrestricted stock grants and stock purchase plans  restricted stock awards and restricted stock units  phantom stock and stock appreciation rights (SARs)  and performance awards. ESOPs  qualified profit sharing plans  and 401(k) plans are also discussed. Special chapters discuss equity compensation in limited liability companies (LLCs)  deferred compensation issues  accounting for equity compensation  securities laws  public company considerations  designing an equity plan  and deciding on executive equity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45272619843637,"sku":"ByrdShop_1932924841","price":63.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781932924848.jpg?v=1780482966","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-decisionmakers-guide-to-equity-compensation-2nd-ed-9781932924848","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
