Merger, spin-off, acquisition, special dividend, go-private, IPO—the list goes on, but often a common theme remains. If you have been through an organizational life event you have probably heard employees say, “someone is getting rich in this deal, and it’s not me!” Corporate transactions do present many challenges, including specific challenges for employee share plan participants. Commonly share plan participants feel that they are somehow losing value or otherwise being treated unfairly with respect to any changes to their equity-based awards. Whether a cash-out, rollover, conversion, modification, substitution, forfeiture, or other change, you may find your plan participants approaching the deal with skepticism, and the resulting noise can be substantial. So be prepared by joining this session to hear strategies from experienced global multinational companies who will share how they proactively handled their employee experience, from managing employee expectations to delivering effective communications. This session promises to be an exciting look at the world of M&A and to provide takeaways to help you ensure your next transaction has a positive “spin”!
