This plan offers various types of stock-based incentives to executives, encouraging them to align their interests with the long-term success of the organization. The ND-EESIP aims to attract and retain top talent by providing executives with the opportunity to acquire company stock, allowing them to directly benefit from the growth and profitability of the organization. This not only strengthens the commitment of executives to the company's objectives but also encourages them to make decisions that positively impact its performance. Under the ND-EESIP, there are several types of stock-based incentives available to executives: 1. Stock Options: Executives are granted the right to purchase company stock at a predetermined price, known as the strike price. These options typically have a vesting period, during which the executive must remain employed with the company before exercising the option to buy the stock. 2. Restricted Stock Units (RSS): RSS grant executives the right to receive company stock at a future date, subject to certain conditions such as the completion of a specific timeframe or the achievement of performance targets. Once vested, RSS convert into actual shares of company stock. 3. Performance Shares: Executives receive shares of company stock based on the achievement of pre-established performance goals. These goals may include financial metrics, market share growth, or other relevant objectives. The number of shares awarded is typically tied to the level of performance achieved. 4. Employee Stock Purchase Plans (ESPN): ESPN allow executives to purchase company stock through regular payroll deductions at a discounted price. This provides an opportunity for executives to accumulate company stock over time while benefiting from lower prices compared to the open market. 5. Stock Appreciation Rights (SARS): SARS provide executives with the right to receive the appreciation in the value of a specified number of shares over a predetermined period. Upon exercise, executives receive the difference between the stock's fair market value at the time of exercise and the grant price, either in cash or stock. The ND-EESIP serves as a powerful tool for enhancing executive compensation packages and incentivizing long-term dedication and performance. By aligning executive interests with company goals, these stock-based incentives promote a culture of ownership and accountability within North Dakota companies, contributing to their overall success and growth.
