Replicon Provides Compensation Arrangement Planning for Growth Companies
01-11-2006,

Replicon Corporate Finance Ltd. expands its client base by providing its advisory services in management compansation agreements, e.g. option arrangements, to selected Venture Capital (VC) -investors and their portfolio companies. Earlier Replicon had marketed its management compensation arrangements only directly to promising growth companies with some 20-200 employees.

Replicon will advise the investor in their equity-based management compensation arrangements for the selected target companies. Such arrangements may include stock-option, restricted share, synthetic option and other equity-based compensation structures.

"Option arrangements suit particularly well for growth companies in which management has to work incredibly hard for reaching the growth targets. In the case of a non-listed company the assessment of the proper valuation makes building of a first class management compensation system even more demanding," says Petteri Hirvonen, Senior Partner in Replicon.

Replicon will continue to offer its Compensation Arrangement Services to leading Finnish growth companies as well as their main shareholders. Optimally planned equity-based compensation is the most cost-efficient way for innovative growth companies to increase commitment and work motivation in their boards and management teams. Our new innovations will suit to companies who want to compensate their managers by stocks with the attraction of free options. For example our combined share and stock-option arrangement is designed to give the benefit of potential value increase but with less risk than investing directly in shares.

Full details of Compensation Arrangement Services are available on request.
