Mirus Co-sponsors Seminar on Preparing to Comply with New IRS Section 409A Regulations
02/17/2006 - Westin Waltham-Boston in Waltham, MA
Mirus Capital Advisors and Rosebud Legal, LLC, will present “Being Prepared for 409A: Valuation or Appraisal?” on Thursday, February 23, from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. at the Westin Waltham-Boston in Waltham, MA. The seminar is designed to help the leaders of private emerging growth companies understand their options for complying with newly promulgated Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. These new regulations affect how stock options and other forms of deferred compensation are valued.
“Section 409A is just now getting on the radar screens of many of the executives we deal with in our investment banking business,” said Elliot Williams, president of Mirus. “The new rules establish new, more stringent requirements for determining the fair market value of stock options, which have long been an important tool for attracting and retaining high quality talent. We want to help educate our clients and others about this important change and about their choices for conducting the valuations required by the regulations.”
The seminar will explain the difference between an Independent Option Valuation™ fair value appraisal and a Corporate Valuation and help attendees decide which is appropriate for them, given the stage and future plans of their companies. The seminar speakers will be:
• Dick Bugley, Esq., president of Rosebud Legal, LLC
• David Dahn, CPA, president of CFO, LLC
• Bas van de Brugge, CFA, Mirus Capital Advisors
For more information on the seminar, please contact Ken Goldman at Mirus (goldman@merger.com or 781-418-5944).
