Aus dem Klappentext

ESOPs?? Employee Stock Ownership Plans??could be considered the industrial equivalent of the Homestead Act?? a liberation of the nation?s industrial wealth that benefits both owners and employees of private corporations. They allow owners to sell stock of their company and retain control without paying taxes. They provide employees with equity without forcing them to pay from their own pockets. They create incentives that increase productivity, profitability, and company value. In short, ESOPs and their trust equivalents, ESOTs (Employee Stock Ownership Trusts), are truly unique win-win instruments of corporate finance that should be considered by every profitable, growing corporation.

While focusing on the role ESOPs play in succession planning, this comprehensive guide details how ESOPs work, the rules that govern them, and the many situations they can be applied to. Easy-to-read yet comprehensive, this Second Edition reveals how ESOPs are a convenient and cost-effective way for many small corporations to meet even the most basic financial and cash flow needs.

This Second Edition:

• Details how the owner of a private corporation can sell stock tax-free and continue to control the stock
• Covers how the corporation can operate in a tax-free environment through tax deductions
• Provides the latest IRS rules pertaining to ESOPs in an easy-to-read format
• Explains how the ESOP can become a tool for designing compensation arrangements that motivate, retain, and recruit employees
• Outlines strategies for using the ESOP as a principal element in succession planning
• Identifies how Subchapter S Corporations can now have ESOPs

In recent years, ESOPs have proved particularly useful: as a way of creating a market of nontradable closely-held corporate (small business) stock . . . as a means of financing a company?s expansion (such as Avis did) . . . and as a viable option to meeting union wage and benefit demands, thereby avoiding a potential bankruptcy, reorganization, or workout (as in the case of United Airlines). Illustrating its points with fascinating case histories, ESOP: The Ultimate Instrument in Succession Planning, Second Edition alerts you to the remarkably versatile ways the ESOP can maximize the value to owners of private corporations, create a windfall for employees, and perpetuate your organization and keep it in the community.
