NCEO Webinar – Creative ESOP M&A: Innovative Structures for Growth and Ownership

Overview


The past few years have been a whirlwind for M&A activity, and ESOP companies aren’t slowing down. In 2025, some deals used company stock as currency, while others explored sophisticated structures allowing ESOP-owned companies to acquire other ESOP-owned companies without disrupting employee ownership. Please join Erin Turley and Allison Wilkerson for a webinar discussing these innovative transaction structures and how ESOP rules intersect with corporate and state law to define roles and responsibilities.
