Employee Stock Ownership Plans
An ESOP is a Qualified
Plan under the Employees Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA) which can be used to achieve a broad variety of
different results. In addition to being a useful vehicle in aligning
the interests of employees with those
of the business' owners, it can be used to attain owners'
goals in business succession planning, diversification of owners'
assets, estate planning, property settlements in divorce or as
an exit strategy. In many situations,
substantial tax benefits can result from the use of an ESOP,
including the deferral of recognizing gain recognition on the
sale of stock.
Valuations of companies
for ESOP purposes require special considerations
not present in the valuation of non-ESOP companies. In
addition to possessing the skills and knowledge to perform the
valuation, the appraiser must also
be knowledgeable of ERISA and its related regulations.
HSSK has in-house appraisers who are experts in the valuation
of ESOP companies.
