Three things for an employee to look at if your ESOP company is sold:

1️⃣ What does this mean for you financially? It’s important to be clear on the details – price per share, deal structure, and your voting rights are all important considerations.

2️⃣ How and when you’ll get paid – this varies, so it is important to be clear on the details about vesting, payout timing, and form of payment to expect.

3️⃣ Taxes and distribution options – for many employees, this may be the largest sum of money ever received, so it’s important to understand how it is taxed and how it fits in your overall financial plan.

Don’t go it alone – I can help you understand these considerations and more. Let’s connect.

In my 22 years of playing football, I never walked into a practice, game, or film session without a plan.

I knew my opponent, I knew my assignments, and I knew my goals I wanted to accomplish. But, I also knew my plan would most likely change throughout the game. Injuries, unexpected plays, different matchups can all throw the game off.

This doesn't mean you throw out your gameplan, it just means you need a plan that can adapt.

I think that mindset has carried into my career as a financial planner.

Life isn't always going to follow a script. Your job, income, family situation, and priorities can all change.

That's why having a financial plan matters, but so does making adjustments when life changes.
