Selected Issues in Equity Compensation, 22nd Ed (NCEO-CEPI 2026 Equity Compensation Books)

Our standard introductory guide for company owners, managers, and advisors is The Stock Options Book, which covers a multitude of issues relating to stock options and stock purchase plans. This book goes a step beyond The Stock Options Book with extensive information on particular issues such as securities laws. (Many people get both books; for example, the Certified Equity Professional Institute has adopted both as texts for all three levels of its program.) The book addresses administration, state securities laws, federal securities laws, preparing for an IPO, post-IPO considerations, equity in M&A transactions, handling death under an equity plan, equity awards and divorce, evergreen provisions, underwater options and repricing, designing and implementing an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP), the role of the transfer agent, annual meetings, and state mobility issues. For the 22nd edition, chapters 1, 2, 5, 7, and 11 were revised and updated.
