Taking stock: how private companies can develop equity-based incentives

Article Abstract:

Stock options and other equity-based incentives have become extremely lucrative portions of the total management compensation for executives in publicly-owned companies. Private companies are beginning to follow suit. An analysis of the experience of two privately held nationally known businesses will demonstrate the options available to private companies in terms of equity-based incentives. It will also show how these firms can determine what form of equity-based compensation to use and how they can structure equity-based incentive plans.
