Equity Plans

Market-Leading Tools for Aligning Company Performance and Shareholder Value

Equity plans allow companies to align long-term objectives with executive retention. Equilar offers data-driven tools to craft effective equity plans that gain shareholder support and drive executive performance.

Request Overview

Additional Share Request

The Equilar Additional Share Request solution helps companies ensure equity incentive plans do not negatively impact their long-term objectives. To attract and retain key executives, many compensation packages now include equity awards such as stock options and restricted stock. Equity dilution is a critical area of concern in these situations.

Using industry-set equity burn rate methodology, the Additional Share Request solution incorporates a comprehensive set of analytical tools to accurately estimate the effect of additional share requests. Equilar provides companies with a trusted, independent source of information to help them benchmark overhang and run rates against peer and industry groups.

Equilar Additional Share Request allows you to confidently request additional shares and gain shareholder support of new incentive plans at annual meetings.
