| Organization Description | B2B Power Exchange is a lead exchange group that focuses on helping entrepreneurs, CEOs, consultants and business development pros that sell to senior decision makers at companies with $10 million or more in annual revenues. Our members focus on large, complex business-to-business sales, so most lead groups and Chamber mixers don't provide them with the resources they need. We're different. Our forum of power players knows that the fastest way to the executive suite is through partnerships with others focused on B2B. That's why we leverage our combined skills and executive contacts to expand our pipelines and increase the value we offer our corporate clients.

| Description | LBO Management Team Compensation: How to Woo the Best Competition for top-flight management teams has grown ever more intense. How can you attract the best and brightest without bruising your ROI? To tackle that question head-on, Dow Jones Private Equity Analyst has assembled an all-star cast of compensation experts to lead a 90-minute virtual seminar detailing the latest strategies that rival buyout firms are using to convince top managers to sign (and stay) on. Some of the questions you'll get answers to include: What should the size of the management equity pool be? How much money should management be required to invest? Over what period of time should the equity grants vest? Should there be performance metrics attached, and, if so, what kind of metrics are appropriate? What are the advantages and disadvantages of setting up profits-interest programs that replace traditional equity awards? Guiding you through these critical issues: - Lawrence K. Cagney, the chairman of the executive compensation and employee benefits group at Debevoise & Plimpton, who assists companies in designing compensation plans as well as with related SEC reporting requirements and tax issues. - Michael Nissan, a partner with Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP, who focuses on executive compensation and related matters for senior executives, management teams and employers. - Peter Hornecker, a partner in the on-call advisory services practice in Ernst & Young, who has extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions, leveraged recapitalizations, joint ventures, corporate restructurings, stock compensation arrangements and other M&A related topics. - Dave Barry, managing editor for Dow Jones Private Equity Analyst, will moderate. Additional topics to be covered during this interactive 90-minute seminar include: - Setting up a profits-interest program to provide tax advantages to managers while keeping more equity for your firm - Rolling over equity compensation when management already owns a stake in the acquired company - Ways to avoid large charges when paying non-recurring dividends - Knowing when to expense stock options and when to account them as liabilities - How to determine and account the value of equity when awarding stock options and profits-interests - How to avoid questions of illegal back-dating when granting stock options to new employees - The likely impact of proposed tax rules governing deferred compensation - An overview of the SEC's latest compensation disclosure requirements - Why your portfolio companies may be subject to the SEC's new rules Fees: - Site License--$350 Registration includes one Internet connection, one telephone connection at one location, one master set of handouts (with permission to make additional copies for the participants at your location), and an unlimited number of participants from your organization in one listening room.
