Peng Jian: Research on the Historical Process of Equity Incentive

In addition to tracing back the development history of equity incentive in China, from a global perspective, equity incentive has actually emerged, evolved and matured with the prosperity of economy and the intensification of market competition since World War II.

After 1960, Japan, Britain, France and other developed countries followed suit, and equity incentive became a trend.

By 1997, 53% of American listed companies have implemented the stock option plan. By 2 1 century, Silicon Valley companies have developed rapidly, and about 90% of enterprises have implemented equity incentive plans.

The new "Company Law" and "Securities Law" have created a new legal environment for listed companies to implement equity incentive, solved the problem of stock source, improved the benefit cashing mechanism of option exercise, and given the specific process of implementation plan, which made China's equity incentive enter a brand-new development period.

Rectification and standardization period: from March to June, 2007, 5438+ 10, the CSRC launched a special activity to strengthen the governance of listed companies, and the approval of equity incentives was suspended. SASAC and CSRC issued supporting policies to standardize equity incentives.

200 1, during the bubble period of network economy, the IT industry suffered a devastating blow, and financing faced unprecedented difficulties. In order to tide over the difficulties, Huawei began to implement the option reform of "virtual restricted shares".

In 2003, Huawei, which failed to survive the bubble economy, was hit hard by SRAS, and its export market was affected. The intellectual property lawsuit with Cisco has affected Huawei's global market. The implementation of MBO is to stabilize the workforce and tide over the difficulties.
