Items related to The Stock Options Book, 8th ed.
In recent years, the level of legal, accounting, and regulatory complexity associated with employee stock options has only grown. This book, written by attorney Alisa Baker, a leading equity compensation expert, presents a straightforward, comprehensive overview of both the big-picture issues and the technical details related to designing and implementing stock option plans. The book also looks at "hot" issues and provides illustrative exhibits, a glossary, a bibliography, and primary source materials, plus a seminal article by Corey Rosen on plan design. The eighth edition covers the latest developments in the equity compensation field, including a new chapter devoted entirely to the stock options backdating scandal. The equity compensation case law chapter has been reorganized and expanded. Additionally, the book now features expanded treatment of equity vehicles and trends other than stock options. For ease of reference, footnotes are now used throughout the book instead of endnotes.

From the Author:
This book is intended to give the reader a general overview of how stock options are used in the United States to reward employees for their participation in and commitment to the success of the employer corporation (referred to variously here as the "company" or the "employer"). Stock options are but one of several forms of equity incentives, which may range from outright gifts of stock to specialized restricted stock purchase arrangements. For the sake of keeping this discussion focused, these other forms of equity incentives are not covered here. There are two basic kinds of stock options: (1) "qualified" or "statutory" stock options, including incentive stock options (ISOs) and employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) options, which are specific creatures of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and (2) all other stock options, called "nonstatutory" or "nonqualified" stock options (NSOs). This book will carefully examine the tax aspects of employee stock options and cite appropriate authority on tax issues. However, although the primary focus of this text is on taxation and design issues related to taxation, the day has long passed when the equity compensation planner could feel free to review tax aspects of employee stock options in a vacuum. Such options are increasingly subject to a complex web of rules regarding their creation and exercise that are unrelated to the Code, including federal and state securities laws, accounting principles, and local (foreign) country laws governing grants made to employees resident outside of the United States. Therefore, as appropriate, this book gives an overview of how non-tax rules apply and indicates the types of issues raised by the interaction of these rules. Readers should note that the non-tax discussion is intended to provide only general planning guidance; where appropriate, I have provided references to authoritative sources on these subjects.
