The final regulations for Section 409A has been issued and companies are given a compliance deadline before December 31, 2007. The new law covers public and private companies from single to multiple employees and contractors. Now is a time to review all equity based compensation plans and arrangements as there may be significant penalties for noncompliance.

The Knowledge Congress has assembled a panel of experts to help companies understand the new regulations. A live teleconference on equity based compensation regulations is scheduled for September 6, 2007.

Bill Sweetnam will present a session on severence plans. Topics will include:

  * How severance plans will comply or be exempt from 409A

  * Can a severance plan be amended to provide for a "good reason"
     termination?

  * How to structure and document post-termination benefits

  * Change in control agreements and 409A
