Employee Stock Option Plans provide a retirement benefit for employees, as well as tax benefits and a potential financing source for companies. But ESOPs also require extensive oversight. At First American Bank, we can ease your company's burden by handling recordkeeping, compliance testing, reporting and tax form-preparation requirements. Our experienced staff can administer both leveraged and unleveraged plans, and can expand their services to include:- Calculation and allocation of shares released as payments are made on an ESOP loan
- Determination of disqualified persons/prohibited allocations based on S-Corp ownership under Internal Revenue Code section 409(p)
- Review of transactions to determine cost basis of shares acquired during the year and maintenance of cost basis of shares allocated to participants’ accounts
- Preparation of diversification notices and election forms
