Eleventh Global Equity Forum DAVOS - February 4 & 5, 2010 The
World Centre's Eleventh Global Equity Forum takes place in Davos Platz
on Thursday February 4 and Friday February 5,(2010)- on the coat-tails
of the World Economic Forum.
This event will be dominated by three key themes:
1. To what extent should governments and their regulators influence the
level of executive equity reward and, if so, by what means ?
2. In what ways are broad-based international employee share/stock
plans being adapted to cope with problems arising from the global
economic crisis ?
3. How best should corporate governance principles be applied to international employee share/stock ownership plans?
CASE STUDY:
LTIP target setting in volatile times
Companies need to
disclose a lot of detail on their LTIP performance targets at a time
when with market volatility it can be difficult to set stretching, but
achievable, targets.
Variable targets
that take account of future market conditions.

April 14 - 17 Chicago, Illinois Session 7.3 Variable Performance Targets for Options & Shares
Many
companies are now attaching performance targets to employee equity
awards and other long-term incentives. It's not easy to set targets
three or more years in advance that are both stretching and achievable.
Old Mutual plc was the first FTSE 100 company to set variable targets
that change in line with global economic performance. This session
outlines the issues companies may face and presents the Old Mutual
solution.

Retirement benefits for high
earners and employees have been mauled by the present government.
Unfortunately, relief from any incoming administration seems unlikely in
the
near term.
We have practical solutions to meet
the current and future needs of employers, investment managers, HR
departments

We hope you can join us for this
seminar, which focuses on solutions for retirement benefit issues and
general
tax effective deferral arrangements.

companies face and the Old Mutual solution. Learn the key methods of
target setting and their pros and cons, as well as how to discuss the
