What is an ESOP?
Understanding employee stock option plans
Understanding Employee Stock Option Plans
An Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP) is a program through which a company grants stock options to its employees as a reward for performance and long-term contribution. Under an ESOP, employees receive the right—but not the obligation—to purchase shares of the company at a predetermined price on a specified future date.
Why Obtain an ESOP Valuation?
An ESOP valuation is required for accounting and tax purposes. From an accounting perspective, companies must recognize employee compensation expense over the vesting period of ESOPs in accordance with applicable accounting standards. This expense impacts the company's profitability and earnings per share (EPS).
