Special Transactions
Events in the course of business sometimes dictate special handling and Financial Intelligence has built its business on proving that we can rise to the occasion. During the last few years when backdating investigations were prevalent, Financial Intelligence distinguished itself as one of the most knowledgeable and accomplished advisors in the industry. We completed 13 stock option restatements between 2006 and 2009.
Companies are sometimes faced with special situations or one-off transactions that have significant ramifications in the equity compensation area. Companies or business units are bought, sold, or spun-off; underwater options are retired and replaced (“repricings”); outstanding awards are modified; or a new set of accounting rules is under debate (IFRS 2).
Whatever the issue, Financial Intelligence has the experience and bandwidth to help with advice, planning, execution, and support.
