EMPLOYEE SHARE PLANS (ESP)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is an employee share option plan (ESOP)?

Employee Share Option Plans (ESOPs) are a form of remuneration given to employees. If an employee is part of an ESOP, it means they are able to acquire shares of the company in which they work.

2. How does an ESOP work?

ESOP plans are a way to offer employees shares for the company they work for. Employees can opt to buy a certain number of shares in the company by exercising their right to purchase the shares at a pre-determined price.

3. Is an ESOP good for employees?

ESOPs are common in Malaysia and around the world and are considered highly beneficial for both shareholders and employees.

ESOP plans are designed to align the goals of employees and shareholders and provide an incentive for the employee by giving them a vested interest in the success of the company through the shares they hold in it.

Each time employees are rewarded with shares of the company; it effectively means they own a small portion of it. If they own a part of the company, their actions directly impact the valuation of their shares.

4. How do I set up an employee stock option plan (ESOP)?

There is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to employee stock options plans, so it is vital to have a clear vision of what you want to achieve from it. Different types of plans have pros and cons, depending on the size, scale, and ambitions of your business.

The best way to get a tailored and bespoke plan for your business is to get in touch with our specialists here at BoardRoom.

Share award schemes are when a company gives their employees shares, as opposed to share options. As part of their income, a share award scheme counts as taxable income.

6. Why do companies adopt ESOP, ESOS or share award schemes?

Companies often choose to adopt an ESOP, ESOS or share award schemes as a way to align the employee’s interests with that of the shareholders.
