Potential benefits to the issuer
- Reduce the workload and confusion associated with exercising through numerous, individual stockbrokers — many of whom may not be familiar with the procedures and requirements for processing stock option transactions.
- Transactions are processed with special attention paid to the impact on the stock price — rarely traded “at the market.”
- Potentially reduce liability by providing a service that can help educate employees about tax consequences and risks/rewards associated with trading
- No cost to your firm to appoint our team as Broker of Record for your plans. The only cost is the transaction fee charged to the employees — which is typically an institutional, “cents per share”
- Education and best practices on demand and tailored to unique needs of each issuer and executive/participant base
