Participant Info Request

[Guest dw24a]

is a participant in a closely held esop entitled to receive a copy of the independent stock valueation reports used to annually establish esop stock value?

That is controversial. At least one court has ruled that the valuation is a "plan document" to which particpants are entitled. The circumstances may be important, and the plan or the employer may be able to obtain protective restrictions even if the information has to be produced.
