Stock Options 101 - Workshop to be Held at the abi Innovation Hub

Manchester, NH, April 22, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Looking to offer stock options or restricted stock, but are uncertain about details behind the process of it all? Join Atty. Robert Schwartz, of Devine Millimet, for a presentation that will discuss everything a private company needs to know about the tax, accounting and securities rules for stock options and restricted stock. Schwartz will cover topics including: incentive and non-qualified options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, tax issues, and accounting treatment. Offering stock compensation to your employees can be a very effective incentive and worth considering for your private business.
