With the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("Dodd-Frank") and companies facing increased pressure to protect market share and appease shareholders hungry for executive accountability, the legality of claw-back provisions in equity award agreements is becoming a fundamental question in the equity compensation world. This webinar will address the key legal, tax and administrative considerations that are triggered by equity award clawbacks, both in and outside the US. We will cover clawback provisions that will likely become required under Dodd-Frank, as contrasted with clawbacks required under TARP and Sarbanes-Oxley, as well as other types of clawback, such as those tied to non-compete provisions. We will discuss the enforceability of such provisions outside the US and other country-specific issues that need to be considered when implementing global clawback policies and including clawbacks in global award agreements.
