Long term incentives generally take the form of equity plans (share option plans, share rights plans and restricted share plans) but some companies use cash based plans particularly when their shares are not quoted on a stock exchange or they do not wish to issue new shares.
Regular review of LTI plans is essential as the environment as represented by regulatory, corporate governance, market practices and accounting standards is constantly undergoing change.
GRG has a breadth of experience in LTI plans having worked on:
tax deferred and tax exempt plans,
cash based plans for listed and unlisted companies including private companies and trusts aiming for IPOs or trade sales.
While GRG takes account of taxation impacts its advice is not tax driven. We do not wish to see our clients in court defending complicated tax structures.
Although our emphasis is on executive equity LTI plans we have considerable experience in assisting clients with the selection and design of general employee equity plans.
