Compensatory Thoughts on Navigating Blackout Periods
Thursday, August 8, 2024
10:00–11:00 am CT
11:00 am–12:00 pm ET
It is common for a key employee of a publicly-traded issuer to sell stock in the open market in order to satisfy income tax obligations (or in order fund the exercise of a stock option). But what happens if such contemplated sale occurs during a blackout period? The purpose of this webinar is to discuss equity compensation design tips that will help issuers navigate blackout periods, including: (i) streamlining the process associated with equity grants and vesting, (ii) the use and design of 10b5-1 trading plans, (iii) net withholding provisions, (iv) impact of “next day deposit” rules and solving for the same, and (v) certain design considerations within the insider trading policy.
