ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan)

Many businesses choose to adopt an Employee Stock Ownership Plan to incentivize their workers and distribute equity within the company. ESOPs give workers increased responsibility and motivation to perform productively for the company’s benefit. Whether a sports industry client seeks to adopt or adjust an ESOP for tax advantage purposes, improved liquidity, or due to an owner’s departure from the company, Park Lane creatively advises on a wide range of ESOP transactions. Our sports investment bankers can raise subordinated debt and equity capital for LBOs and other forms of employee-led buyouts. Our knowledge of the regulatory environment surrounding ESOPs allows us to provide clients with strategic alternatives such as divestiture options and private placements.
