Expert Insights on Stock Option Backdating

Stock Option Backdating is the practice of granting employee stock options with a grant date prior to the actual date of when the options were granted. Companies grant the option at the lowest point, thus creating an immediate gain on the option during times of rising stock prices. In the past companies were required to report stock option grants to the Securities and Exchange Commission within two months of the grant date; now companies are required to report grants within two business days.

Gerson Lehrman Group Council Members are available to discuss Stock Option Backdating via phone consultations, live meetings, surveys, and other custom GLG products and services.
