February 2006 Filling the Stock Option Void John J. Palter Davis Munck, P.C. James R. Leverette Randall James Monroe Inc. The use of option-based executive compensation is problematic from both a legal and public relations viewpoint. Sarbanes-Oxley legislation has effectively nullified the most common means of incentive-based compensation. This article discusses the implications of the legislation as well as options that are available to retain and compensate C-level executives. Although legal and accounting issues are the chief topics, this article stresses the importance of understanding the social and political context. Companies do not operate in a vacuum and must strive to provide the transparency in their compensation choices that the public and the government now require.
