Details for "Rescuing Equity Compensation from Volatile Markets"

Have you wondered how the turmoil in capital markets and the associated economic downturn is affecting equity compensation programs? A majority of companies in many sectors now have a majority of stock options underwater – in some companies all options are underwater. Even RSUs which were supposed to overcome the problem of underwater options have backfired in some companies.

While many companies are considering tactical responses such as option exchanges or accelerated grants a more thoughtful approach to equity, compensation strategy leads to other alternatives.

To hear more about this, join us at the November meeting of the SVCA, where Fred and Kiran will be speaking on this topic, including:

How the capital markets and economic situation are interacting to create the greatest challenge in the history of equity-based compensation
Why employers’ responses to this situation must not repeat the expensive mistakes of the past
Why survey data and “trends” data has little value in the current situation
How alternative approaches to analyzing a company’s situation can lead to innovative solutions
Why using a model of Equity Effectiveness^TM is crucial to developing a solution balancing the impact of the markets, the economy, and the war for talent
