Equity Alternatives: Restricted Stock, Performance Awards, Phantom Stock, SARs, and More, 19th 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.
