What's New In Stock-Based Compensation

The Los Angeles County Bar Association (LACBA) this month is planning a CLE seminar titled Recent Developments in Stock-Based Executive Compensation.

The program will take place on Thursday, March 15 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the LACBA Conference Center, 281 South Figueroa Street, Los Angeles.

This program will cover recent developments in stock-based executive compensation plans, including tax, accounting and securities law aspects of such plans. The panelists will cover a comparison of ISO's, non-qualified options, restricted stock purchases and awards; the pitfalls of the deferred compensation rules under Section 409A, including the effect on back-dated options, the expensing of stock-based compensation under FAS 123(R), and a brief summary of the basic securities law requirements, including the new SEC disclosure rules.

Speakers are Mike Fernhoff, Kaye Scholer LLP; Christian D. Jester, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and Lee R. Petillon, Petillon & Hiraide LLP.
