THE TAX BUCKET CHALLANGE

SPEAKERS: JOHN HAMMOND AND PAM CHERNOFF, AON

What’s more wishy-washy than a bucket of water dumped over your head? How legal departments want you to explain taxes to participants.

But you know your global employees need information they can easily understand so they have a sense of what their awards mean and their personal responsibilities on getting their taxes right. Where is the line on advice and what are some better options in the world of tax explanation?

Join us for a brief session where we take a closer look at failures and wins and give you some tips on how to move past your company’s past weaknesses and deliver a flood of great info without getting wet.

After our educational session, our sponsor, Aon will be hosting a Happy Hour immediately following.  We hope you will join us for both.

Thank you to our Happy Hour sponsor, Aon.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION DISCLOSURES FOR FOREIGN PRIVATE ISSUERS: HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH?

Foreign private issuers (FPIs), which accounted for over half of U.S. IPOs in 2024, benefit from lighter executive compensation disclosure requirements than U.S. domestic issuers, though these rules vary based on their home country’s regulations. To qualify as an FPI, a company must be non-U.S. incorporated and meet ownership or business-contact criteria, but that status is reviewed annually and may change. Despite more lenient requirements, FPIs should design executive compensation policies that align with shareholder expectations, anticipate potential regulatory changes by the SEC, and ensure compliance across all jurisdictions.

Employee stock purchase plans (ESPP)
USA

Two new Senate bills aim to strengthen employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) by removing certain contribution limits and giving ESOPs formal representation on the ERISA Advisory Council. The Employee Ownership Fairness Act proposes excluding ESOP contributions from defined contribution plan caps to allow employees more flexibility in retirement savings, while the Employee Ownership Representation Act adds two ESOP advocates to the ERISA Council. Separately, the American Ownership and Resilience Act was introduced to promote selling American businesses to employees through ESOPs, helping prevent offshoring and support domestic manufacturing.
