Description

The Banker's Note, Inc. 1997 Incentive Stock Option Plan outlines a structured approach for enabling key employees to acquire a financial interest in the company through stock options and stock appreciation rights. The plan specifically targets key employees, excluding non-officer directors, promoting employee retention and motivational alignment with company goals. It includes detailed guidelines regarding the options' pricing, duration, vesting conditions, and rights upon termination of employment. The stock to be issued consists of Common Stock, and up to 500,000 shares may be granted under the plan. The terms ensure that options can only be exercised in compliance with certain requirements, including fair market value assessments. The administration of the plan is delegated to a designated committee responsible for overseeing the option grants and compliance with applicable regulations. This plan serves as a vital tool for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants by providing a clear framework for equity-based compensation, ensuring legal compliance, and facilitating the strategic management of employee incentives.
