Many ESOPs are leveraged, meaning that the plan borrows money on the employer company's credit to buy company stock. It is the only qualified employee benefit plan that can do this. Moreover, the company can deduct ESOP contributions it makes for both principal and interest payments for the loan, and owners of closely held C corporations who sell to an ESOP can avoid paying capital gains tax on the sale proceeds by reinvesting them in qualifying U.S. securities.
Written by leading experts, this book is a practical tool for business owners, managers, and advisors dealing with both public and private companies. It covers contribution limits, valuation issues, accounting, the tax-deferred "rollover," due diligence, feasibility, employee buyouts, multi-investor issues, mergers and acquisitions, and other relevant topics. The book is designed to be used by both public and private companies as well as their professional advisors.

A leveraged ESOP can be the ideal vehicle for an employee buyout. In the past few decades, thousands of companies have been established through selling a company to an ESOP or through corporate divestitures to newly created companies that are at least 25% ESOP-owned.
ESOPs are complicated mechanisms, and using leverage increases that complexity. This book is designed to be a practical tool for anyone dealing with that complexity, whether the leveraged ESOP will purchase a small amount of stock or be used for an employee buyout of part or all of a company. Business owners, managers, their advisors, and others interested in employee ownership plans will all find this book helpful.
