Blinky the 3-eyed Fish Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 Under the attribution rules of 318(a)(4) stock in a company shall be considered owned by a person if they have an option to acquire it. Has anyone attempted to make an otherwise NHCE an HCE, by having the employer give them options to acquire stock? Obviously, there appears to be a lot of smell test issues here, but I was just curious to what degree anyone has used this. "What's in the big salad?"

Belgarath Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 I've actually seen it done once - for the sole purpose, ostensibly at least, of creating a controlled group.
QDROphile Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 If the options are loaded with restrictions on exercise they can fall outside of the attribution rule.
Kirk Maldonado Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 You also bring into play state corporate law, as well as state and federal securities laws when you make stock option grants. You need to consider those issues as well as those relating to the retirement plan. Kirk Maldonado
