1. Employee stock ownership refers to letting the incentive object hold a certain number of company shares, which are given to the incentive object by the company free of charge, or purchased by the company with the subsidy of the incentive object, or purchased by the incentive object at its own expense. The incentive object can benefit when the stock appreciates and suffer losses when the stock depreciates.
Equity incentive plan is implemented through employee stock ownership, which is generally restricted stock.
1. The company has set performance targets to be achieved in advance. When the performance target is achieved, the company will sell a certain number of its shares to the incentive object for free or at a low price.
2. The granted shares cannot be sold at will, but they are subject to certain restrictions. 1. Limitation of lock-up period: The shares granted to the incentive object shall not be sold during the lock-up period. Set the lock-up period according to different incentive objects. For example, the restrictions on company directors and managers stipulate that the lock-up period is longer than the general incentive object. The second is the restriction of unlocking conditions and unlocking period: when the established performance target is reached, the stock of the incentive object can be unlocked, that is, it can be listed and traded. Unlocking is generally carried out in stages, either at a constant speed or at a variable speed.
(1) direct shareholding through private placement
(B) Private indirect shareholding
Direct shareholding gives employees complete shareholder rights, but it leads to scattered ownership and reduces decision-making efficiency; Indirect shareholding companies can uniformly manage decision-making power, reserve shares, and freely choose legal person platform or limited partnership platform to hold shares. Comparatively speaking, the indirect shareholding form of limited partnership platform is more suitable for the new third board listed companies that are still in the development stage.
(3) Mode of equity transfer
? 2. Stock options Stock options refer to the incentive object obtaining stock options. If the exercise conditions are met after a certain period of time, it is feasible to buy a certain number of company shares at a predetermined price, or you can give up the purchase right. The incentive object generally has no dividend right, and its income comes from the future stock price rise, and whether the income is realized depends on the future stock price fluctuation.

The stock source of the stock option incentive plan is the company's directional issuance of company shares to the incentive object.
3. Stock option incentive plan: The company intends to grant 654.38+0000 stock options to the incentive object, and the underlying stock type involved is the company's common stock, accounting for about 2.5% of the company's total share capital of 40 million shares when this incentive plan is signed.

? 4. Incentive fund Incentive fund is a real equity incentive tool based on net profit. When the performance requirements are met, the company draws incentive funds according to a specific proportion or increment of net profit, and distributes them to the incentive objects in stages, requiring them to purchase shares of the company in proportion to their own funds, and the shares must be locked for a certain period before they can be sold.
? 5. Virtual Equity Virtual equity refers to a kind of virtual stock granted by the company to the incentive object. According to this, the incentive object can enjoy certain dividend rights and stock price appreciation income, but it cannot be transferred and sold without ownership and voting rights, and it will automatically become invalid when leaving the enterprise. The income enjoyed by virtual equity comes from the corresponding equity income transferred by shareholders.
Virtual equity is divided into share appreciation right and dividend right, which can also be used in combination. Stock appreciation rights simulates the stock option tool, which encourages the target to subscribe for the company's virtual equity after a certain period of time. Generally, the net assets per share at the time of grant is taken as the virtual exercise price. When the incentive object exercises, the company directly pays the increase based on the net assets per share as its exercise income. The incentive object of dividend right is to buy the company's virtual equity with its own funds. After obtaining the equity, it can enjoy the dividend right and continue to invest for multiple purchases. At present, companies often use the combination of share appreciation rights and dividend rights to carry out virtual equity incentives.
