"SLIP" Share Option

    Hi all,

    My employer is trying to retain their more senior members of staff and have offered us share options (including me).

    They started off in the UK and then began opening offices in Ireland.

    All of their main functions (HR, IT, Finance, etc.) are UK based so I am always dubious about the correctness of what they do (e.g. I was on the 3rd version of my contract before it was suitable for an Irish employee).

    They have offered documentation to me regarding a "SLIP Option" and B Shares at a certain value etc.

    It is all outside of my area of competence so my main question is who do I need to seek advice from in relation to this to make sure that I understand it fully and that what they have provided me with is correct?

    I don't mind paying a few bob to a professional.

    Nobody is going to be able to give you serious comment on this without seeing all the documentation… But generally speaking when companies start talking about splits and B shares in employee schemes, I become very skeptical unless they are multinational companies and the B shares are quoted. You would be well advised to seek advice from a independent financial advisor.
