UNDERNEATH ALL SEVEN SEAS: A Global View of Underwater Equity
|
Save the Date!
|
| Hosted By: |
Buck Consultants
|
| Description: |
The global stock market decline has left an unprecedented number of employees worldwide with equity awards that have a diminished, or no, value – underwater stock options, sunken RSUs, submerged performance plans with no hope of resurfacing before the end of the performance period. This situation has increased cynicism about equity-based compensation. There is widespread discussion of option exchanges in the US but a series of financial and regulatory changes over the past five years make these more difficult, and more expensive, than they were during the dot-com bust of 2001-2002. The increased use of full-value awards, while mitigating the underwater option issue in some companies, makes the underwater equity issue more difficult but many companies will proceed with these exchanges in the coming months. Many countries have restrictions that make taking action on underwater equity difficult or impossible, however. This webcast broadens the discussion from option exchanges and repricings to alternatives for dealing with underwater equity. |

A New Look at Share Plan Metrics
|
| Presenters: |
 Fred Whittlesey, Compensation Venture Group (US)
|
Description.
|
Until recently, the ubiquitous use of stock options made competitive comparisons a relatively easy process. Now, significant changes in plan design - triggered by new accounting rules, the corporate governance climate, and emerging "standards" from a variety of constituencies –render the old metrics inadequate. Overhang, run rate, Black-Scholes values, and other measures give an inaccurate view of pay levels and value transfer, leading to misguided decisions.
As companies assess alternative forms of share-based awards – performance-based options, stock-settled SARs, restricted stock and RSUs, performance shares – as well as changes in the mix between equity and cash, the decision process requires assumptions about the "value" and "cost" of each type of award. Firms attempting to understand their competitive position using survey data and their compliance with investor requirements face new challenges given the outdated methodologies being used. This session explains the emerging metrics and techniques being used by leading companies in understanding the value and cost of share-based payments in this new environment and presents a model for navigating through the complex decision process. The presentation includes a preview of new standards in 2006 from organizations including the SEC, ISS, S&P, ABI and others.

Do You Know Where Your Employees Are? Solutions and Challenges for Cross Border and Mobile Employees
|
| Speakers: |
Sean Trotman, Deloitte
Matt Davis, Deloitte
|
Description.
|
Operating global incentive compensation programs is a complex endeavor - made only more difficult as employees move from subsidiary to subsidiary in many countries. Equity compensation professionals need to now know date-to-date country residence status and link that information with key stock plan event dates (granting, vesting, exercise/sale, etc.). This session will explore tips and techniques on managing share plans and information flow for cross border employees. In addition, we will explore countries that have become increasingly aware of the financial benefits of tracking (and taxing) cross border employees. |

17 March 2004
| Speakers: |
John Heber, KPMG (San Francisco)
Barabara Seta, KPMG (London) |
Description.
|
In view of increased corporate governance scrutiny, public criticism of the use of stock options and the FASB and IASB proposals, a number of US and European multinational companies are rethinking the use of stock options vis-à-vis other equity-based plans. More broadly, companies that would have used stock option programs in the past almost without giving other design alternatives a second thought, are also increasingly reviewing the underlying basic objectives of their equity programs, including the incentivation and retention effects of various programs, the use of a variety of performance measures and the different financial implications of option versus stock-based plans.
While we do not consider that stock options are “dead”, there appears to a clear tendency of companies on both sides of the Atlantic to take a more balanced approach to the use of equity incentives, often combining the advantages of option-based programs (such as a higher leverage) with the advantages of share-based programs (such as lower dilution).
While there is a general trend towards the use of alternative equity plan designs is apparent in most countries, differences in current market practice in the US and the main European countries mean that companies also need to consider market practices in their respective jurisdictions. For example, while the use of stock award plans (deferred awards, performance share or restricted stock unit plans) is relatively common in the UK, where many large companies operate both share option and long-term incentive plans structured as stock award plans, companies in other European countries, such as the Netherlands or Germany have until recently primarily used stock option plans. In the US, restricted stock plans and restricted stock unit plans are also becoming more popular with leading companies, such as Microsoft, ceasing to use stock option plans altogether.
The session will deal with recent trends in equity plan design in the US and in Europe as well as discuss the tax advantages of restricted stock unit plans as compared to restricted stock plans.

| Speakers: |
Corey Rosen, National Center for Employee Ownership (NCEO) (US)
Nigel Mason, Lloyd’s TSB Registrars (UK) |
Description.
|
Stock plans are back in the news – but not necessarily for the best of the industry. A pall of grey has fallen over one segment of the share plan industry: broad-based/all-employee plans. To address the recent increase in media coverage and corporate level discussions on the future of non-executive, broad-based employee share plans, GEO's next web seminar will discuss the myriad of issues facing these plans in local and multinational companies. As companies prepare for proposed accounting rule changes (IASB and FASB), many are considering whether to sustain, expand/reduce, or introduce a broad-based/all-employee share plan in response to investor demands for lower share plan dilution/expense levels. Join three distinguished panelists – Corey Rosen, National Center for Employee Ownership (NCEO), US; Nigel Mason, Lloyd's TSB Registrars, UK; and Juergen Siebel, Siemens, Germany – as they present the latest research on broad-based share plans and discuss new plan design considerations and trends within the industry. In addition, our speakers will discuss the strategic impact of these plans on employees, corporate performance, and recruiting/retention levels and get to the question "Are these plans an essential component of the global compensation equation?" |

Description.
|
As companies plan for their future share plans in light of the expected new accounting standards, increased reporting requirements, and investor demands, now is the time to hear the various strategies and approaches of your peers and colleagues. At a minimum, equity compensation practitioners need to carefully consider their share plans and grants reflective of local market conditions. GEO has asked leading share plan professionals from four key countries to share their views and opinions on the latest plan design alternatives and considerations facing users of share plans. This unique web seminar will allow participants to have their questions answered, understand competitive market practices, and gain a greater appreciation of how your peers and competitors are using share schemes. Please join Damian Carnell (Towers Perrin – UK), Didier Hoff (Ernst & Young – France), Geoff Price (Computershare – Australia), and Matt Ward (Aon Consulting/Radford Surveys, US) as we explore the latest share plan strategies for stock options, share purchase plans, restricted stock, and LTIPs. In addition, we will explore the balance of executive and broad-based plan design alternatives, institutional investor viewpoints and perspectives, corporate governance and increased reporting requirements, and operational strategies on maintaining a compliant and consistent share plan.
