SEC Chairman Paul Atkins has emphasized his goal of revitalizing the IPO market, but regulatory reform isn't likely to change the reality that an IPO is one of the most consequential moments in a company's life—and one that can dramatically reshape executives' day-to-day experience. As companies prepare to go public, executive compensation arrangements often need significant redesign to ensure leaders are motivated, retained and aligned throughout the transition, while countless related decisions and processes must be carefully coordinated. In this webcast, a panel of experienced advisors will walk through key compensation considerations from the pre-IPO phase through the offering and into the first chapter of public company life, with a focus on practical strategies for designing, implementing and communicating compensation programs and governance frameworks that support a smooth transition. Plus, they'll answer your burning questions. Submit questions to mervine@ccrcorp.com by March 13.
