EMI share option agreement granting employee right to acquire company shares
The EMI Scheme is specifically designed to aid small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in attracting and retaining talented employees by offering significant tax advantages. By granting share options that qualify for favourable tax treatment, the scheme provides a financial incentive aligned with the success of the business.
This agreement typically includes provisions on the exercise of options, handling of termination or change of control, and specific tax implications for both the company and the employee. Legal and regulatory compliance is crucial, ensuring that both parties adhere to UK tax laws and company policies regarding share distribution.
A Share Option Agreement under the EMI Scheme is primarily designed for companies that qualify as small or medium-sized enterprises in the UK. These companies must meet specific criteria regarding gross assets and employee numbers to benefit from the scheme.
