Privately-held companies anticipating an IPO have a unique "one-time" opportunity to design their compensatory programs in a way that creates flexibility after the company becomes publicly-traded. Please join us on September 13, 2018, at 10:00 CT where we will discuss various design structures, including: (i) emerging growth company considerations relevant to compensation structures, (ii) thoughts from institutional shareholders, (iii) equity incentive plan designs that can help to preserve the share reserve of the equity plan long after the effectiveness of the S-1 registration statement, (iv) design issues with respect to executive contracts, and (v) other compensatory issues (e.g., co-registration rights, rollover of profits interests, etc.). Click here to register: Planning for an IPO: Compensation Considerations (Phase I of II). And as always, our monthly webinar series is FREE.

On October 11, 2018, we will move to Phase II of the program and discuss compensation strategies that should be considered for publicly-traded companies that will lose emerging growth company status.
