Empower your business by empowering your employees

ESOP - Employee Share Ownership Plan

Employee Share Ownership Plans (ESOPs) can address BEE Ownership, while aligning employees with the business owner’s interests. A well structured and executed ESOP can improve business performance by correctly incentivising staff and can also strengthen labour relations.

Our experience helps you succeed
  • We have extensive experience in structuring and implementing ESOP transactions for multinational companies and SA corporates. We have advised on more than 150 transactions since 2005
  • An in-depth understanding of the BEE environment, knowledge of BEE structures and their complexities, and our proven corporate finance expertise allows us to combine best practice with innovative thinking

 

Feasibility of an ESOP
We help you understand if an ESOP will work for your company by evaluating:
  • Your employee demographics - for BEE points.
  • Your employee numbers - to ensure value flows to employees.
  • Your financial projections - to ensure sustainability.
  • Your culture - to establish if an ESOP is right for you.

  • Employee engagement.

Understanding how value is created for employees
In designing a successful ESOP, there should be transparency as to how employees participate in the economic benefits based on the performance of the company. This requires:

  • Understanding the liquidity mechanisms.
  • Having clear good and bad leaver provisions.
  • Apportioning dividends and capital gains systematically.
  • Bench-marking against other schemes across relevant industries.
Ensuring you maximise your BEE Ownership
  • We structure the transaction to maximise the current and long-term BEE ownership credit.
  • We work with your BEE verification agency to ensure you get the BEE points you expect.
  • We assist you with the BEE Commission registration process.
  • We partner with you each year thereafter to ensure the points endure.
