How Sixti Limited can assist you
Having worked for several employee share plan administrators, often managing 20+ different projects at any time, we have seen many different situations, solutions and outcomes. We understand the administrators abilities and limitations - this can assist you in avoiding frustrating situations. We also "speak the same language" as the administrators.
This experience can be beneficial to you:
-
Rapidly understand your requirement
-
Liaise with all interested parties
-
Develop a project plan
-
Make it happen!
IPO Readiness
Sixti has been fortunate to work with clients recently prior to or immediately following listings on NYSE (2), NASDAQ (2), FTSE and Euronext.
During this critical time, when extreme demands are placed upon the senior team, Sixti can ensure that suitable administrators are sourced, the system set up correctly and go live on the agreed date.
Typical requirements
Each client will have different requirements, however the actual plans will not differ hugely. Your legal advisers may have devised a "groundbreaking" share plan, however in reality in terms of the grant and ultimate vest, it is still a share plan.
You may require staff training, a review of processes, a Governance Manual - all of which are possible.
