The Stock Options Book, Seventh Edition

In recent years, the level of legal, accounting, and regulatory complexity associated with employee stock options has only grown. This book, written by attorney Alisa Baker, a leading equity compensation expert, presents a straightforward, comprehensive overview of both the big-picture issues and the technical details related to designing and implementing stock option plans. The book also looks at "hot" issues and provides illustrative exhibits, a glossary, a bibliography, and primary source materials, plus a seminal article by Corey Rosen on plan design. The seventh edition incorporates changes made in prior updates and supplementary materials, and covers the latest developments in the equity compensation field. There are new chapters on stock-related legislation, case law, and accounting. Additionally, the book has been reorganized for easier navigation and comprehension, and material has been segmented into shorter chapters, with endnotes at the end of each chapter rather than at the end of the book.
