haysmacintyre designed and implemented an Enterprise Management Incentive (EMI) option plan over multiple classes of growth share, to give effect to a management ratchet mechanism. The shareholders wanted an incentive for the CEO to grow the business well beyond its current value and were willing to offer a higher equity percentage for each valuation threshold passed. haysmacintyre introduced specialist lawyers to create multiple share classes, with each share class paying out if the company is sold for above a certain hurdle. We then agreed share values for each share class with HMRC and drafted the relevant EMI option documentation.
