While shareholders who manage or are a sponsor of ESOP often represent and guarantee, in a share purchase agreement, the accuracy of an ESOP sponsor`s financial statements, FBTS imposes such a language in an ESOP share purchase agreement. These terms of agreement can have a significant impact on the obligation of selling shareholders to compensate. While certain conditions may vary from agreement to agreement, virtually all compensation agreements have a cap on the amount of potential liability of selling shareholders, a minimum loss that must occur before the guarantee obligation and a specified period during which a right to compensation can be invoked. The FBTS agreement does not address these standard market conditions on its broadcast surfaces. This change may lead ESOP`s selling shareholders, executives, executives or board members to insist on the existence of significant replacement coverage and guarantee insurance before proceeding with such a sale transaction. In this section of the FBTS agreement, there are three changes to the parallel section of the GBTC agreement. The first is a comprehensive change in references to those involved in the transaction process, from „staff“ to „employee.“ The importation of this change is not entirely clear. Perhaps the idea is that „staff“ could include a broader group of people, such as external consultants, consultants, legal advisors or employees of a parent company or related company. If so, limiting those subject to the requirements of this section to the agent`s staff is a positive change. FBTS also agreed to improve its evaluation procedures, including the requirements for the selection and supervision of an evaluation advisor, the analysis required for the fiduciary audit process, and the documentation of the evaluation analysis. „These comparisons are not just about a refund to these ESOs and their participants; They require First Bankers Trust Services to clarify procedures to improve and ensure good compliance in the future,“ Jeffrey S.
