Beverly White spoke on “Executive Compensation Planning and Challenges for M&A Transactions in the New Compensation Environment” in Palm Beach, Florida on December 12, 2011.   Her presentation walked the audience through various compensation traps, including excess parachute payment excise taxes, the effect of IRS’ nonqualified deferred compensation rules on change in control payments, TARP restrictions affecting executive compensation and the FDIC golden parachute rules governing compensation paid by institutions designated “in troubled condition.”  She also discussed the new Dodd-Frank stockholder advisory votes on golden parachute payments and the new termination payments table.  A copy of the presentation can be found here.
