Synopsis

This book provides sample plan documents for incentive stock option (ISO) plans, nonqualified stock option (NSO) plans, and tax-qualified (Section 423) employee stock purchase plans (ESPPs). The plans have been updated for this third edition by the author, David R. Johanson. This publication will not eliminate the need for nonprofessionals to hire an advisor to help set up their plans (no publication could do that); rather, it will help readers understand how stock option and stock purchase plans really work and what their choices are, and give them plan language they might use. The book comes with a CD with the plan documents in word-processing format.
