Posted: 22 Feb 2001
Abstract
As a result of their popularity, employee stock options are often a significant consideration when deciding how to structure the sale or acquisition of a business. The tax consequences of an assumption, cancellation, or acceleration of the options differ dramatically depending on how the transaction is structured. In this article, Starkey discusses some of these tax consequences.
