As an employer, you always want to draw the best employees to your business and reward them accordingly. The current war for talent means that warrant plans are now indispensable, but you can count on KBC to help you find the solutions you're looking for.

In addition to the stock option plan, another alternative to paying extra remuneration is the warrant plan, the difference being that your company can purchase warrants from KBC and then offer them to your employees. Warrants can be sold after a very short lock-up period. As there is no mandatory lock-up period of one year, the stock market risk is limited. On the other hand, your employee will pay income tax on the full warrant value 60 days after the offer. Warrants, like stock options, benefit from an exemption from social security contributions (employer and employee contributions).

If warrant plans sound like something you'd be interested in, please contact your KBC relationship manager. Together with the Employee Benefits team, we will provide you with the information your company needs.
