Why it matters

The repurchase obligation is one of the biggest long-term financial planning issues for private ESOP companies.

Best for

CFOs, boards, trustees, and advisors managing ESOP sustainability after the transaction.

This NCEO toolkit addresses a long-term obligation that appears as a private ESOP matures: the company must make cash available when retirees and other former employees convert shares in their accounts. The detailed content requires an NCEO membership login.

Use it if company leaders, directors, or advisors are responsible for repurchase-obligation forecasting and cash planning. It is an advanced operating resource, not participant orientation, and it does not replace actuarial, valuation, fiduciary, legal, or financial advice based on the plan and company.
