The recently proposed tax provisions in the Biden Administration’s American Families Plan should provide substantial incentives for business owners to discuss the creation of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).
During this C-Suite Snacks webinar session, Howard Klein and Heather Oboda covered more about ESOPs, including:
- An overview of what an ESOP is including financial and non-financial benefits
- The common misconceptions about ESOPs
- How the current tax proposals make an ESOP more attractive
If you are in business with others (whether a limited company, an LLP or a partnership), the likelihood is that sooner or later one or more is going to want to leave. If everything is agreed and amicable, then there will be no problem. But how can you be sure in advance this is what will happen? There is the potential for serious disagreements in a business break-up and these can and frequently do destroy the business entirely.
The seminar and slides look at what you can do in advance to protect yourselves and the business against a difficult break-up. Usually this will involve setting up a shareholders’ agreement, an LLP members’ agreement or a partnership agreement. We review the main requirements to cover and how this can save a fortune in legal costs – and save the business.
We will also look at remedies that are available if a break-up happens, including rights of shareholders, members and partners, and the legal remedies that can be used, and when these can be excluded by an agreement.

If you don't know the financials, you don't know the business. Financial statements are often an overlooked tool to better understand a business.

Different types of income have different tax rates. Shift income to exploit the lower tax rates. For example, income from investments such as qualified dividends are taxed at lower rates than ordinary income. Retirement accounts defer income from high tax bracket years to lower. Business structure affects the taxes you pay. Real estate investments offset income with depreciation expenses. Don't be a HENRY!

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Various forms of equity based compensation for tech employees…
Type Summary
Incentive Stock Options
(ISOs)
• Contract to buy stock at a specified price; no tax on
paper gain when exercised under the regular method
Restricted Stock Units
(RSUs)
• Stock grants vested over a number of years. Equivalent
to cash compensation in the eyes of the IRS.
Non-Qualified Stock
Options (NSOs)
• Contract to buy stock at a specified price; treated as
cash compensation when exercised (like RSUs)

• Allows employees to purchase stock at a discount (e.g.
15%)
25. The Exited: Options

Jenny the Engineer
Current Stock Price = $10
Scenario 1:
Strike Price = $50
(“way out of the money”)
Hold on and hope
the stock bounces back
Scenario 2:
Strike Price = $9
(“a little in the money”)
Usually hold on because upside
is unlimited and downside is
small
Scenario 3:
Strike Price = $1
(“way in the money”)
Exercise and either sell in a year
or sell right away
26. The Exited: Priority List
26
Jenny the Engineer
Priority Action Logic (typical, not always the case)
1 Sell RSUs • Highest basis, so no benefit to waiting.
2 Sell ESPP • Gain will normally be taxed as ordinary income
3
Exercise/Sell
NSOs
• Basis is market value when exercised; after ESPP due
to less downside
4
Exercise/Sell
ISOs
• Lowest basis, best potential for LT Gains; sell last
given AMT issues
27. The Exited: Timing of Sale
27
Sell everything as soon as you can!
Sell when you anticipate price decline…
Our initial recommendation:
Or…
If you expect price increase…
• Do not exercise options - the tax savings are not that significant.
• A better strategy is to use that cash to buy more stock.
Or…
It is safest to wait to exercise until you are ready to sell
• If stock increases, you profit.
• If not, there is no cash lost.
