DOL Commits to Provide Long-Sought Regulatory Clarity with Stakeholder Input on the Valuation of Company Shares to be Bought by an ESOP
In a major victory for ESOPs, the U.S. Department of Labor earlier this month committed to move forward with a public notice and comment rulemaking on a key regulation the employee ownership community has sought since ESOPs were first created in 1974. The regulation will clearly define Adequate Consideration under Section 408(e) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), something The ESOP Association has long fought for.

One of the key things needed for effective advocacy is a considered and well-thought-out agenda. Over the past year, The ESOP Association’s Public Policy Council (PPC), first constituted in 2021, has been engaged in an organization-wide effort to identify and expand on our agenda. Input from TEA members was solicited online, via town halls at TEA conferences, at chapter events, and through TEA’s Public Policy Council. We are pleased to now release the results of this process.

The Pennsylvania State house has passed HB 285 which would permit the deferral of taxation on a lump-sum distribution from Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOP). The legislation, sponsored by Rep. Daryl Metcalfe (R-Butler), puts the state on par with the rest of the nation and allows certain business owners who sell stock to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) to defer capital gains taxes collected at the sale of the business.
