Franklin Ohio Stock Option and Dividend Equivalent Plan is an employee benefit plan offered by UGI Corp., a leading global distributor and marketer of energy products and services. This plan allows eligible employees to purchase stock options and receive dividend equivalent payments. The Franklin Ohio Stock Option and Dividend Equivalent Plan is designed to incentivize and reward employees for their contributions to the company's success. By offering stock options, employees have the opportunity to purchase UGI Corp.'s common stock at a predetermined price, known as the exercise price. There are two types of stock options available under this plan: non-qualified stock options (Nests) and incentive stock options (SOS). Non-qualified stock options are more commonly offered and provide employees with flexibility in terms of exercising their options. Incentive stock options, on the other hand, come with certain tax advantages but also have stricter rules and limitations. In addition to stock options, the plan also offers dividend equivalent payments. These payments are made to eligible participants and are equivalent to the dividends paid on UGI Corp.'s common stock. Although participants do not actually own the stock, they receive cash payments as if they held the shares, providing them with a passive income stream.
