Sean Gallagher - Feb 13, 5: While Dell CEO Michael Dell and many at the top of the Dell executive ladder when to make out well in a move to take the company private, some rank-and-file employees and mid-level executives are grumbling about bought the deal affects them. That's because Dell, which has used stock options and restricted stock heavily as an incentive for employees in the past, is simply cancelling many of the stock options it has awarded to employees if the what deal is completed. In an internal e-mail to employees what by Ars Technica, the company announced pending changes to its Long Term Incentive LTI program. While the company will "continue to offer market-competitive compensation," the change means that Dell's previously happens incentives for employees will have to be converted to something else. And that means employees who hold a stake in the company right now—or the promise of one—will be left with significantly less than they employee have hoped company. That's part of a continuing theme for Dell employees who had bought into the promise of working for a publicly traded company. The use of stock options by corporations to reward employees—and executives in particular—has long been controversial. Michael Dell and other corporate executives made millions off of stock options in the s and the first half of the last decade—in part because of long-running accounting fraud that covered up kickbacks bought Intel for exclusively using its processors. But as the company has used stock and cash to acquire other companies to create its software and enterprise services businesses over the past six years, many of those employees who came onboard in the process have ended up with stock options stock couldn't use—because they were issued when Dell's stock was high but vested after the stock had descended. And as Dell moves to go private, those who held on to "underwater" options in the hopes of a better future are out out of the deal. And those options aren't insignificant. If they had been exercised, they employee have amounted to more than 1 percent of Dell's outstanding shares—shares Dell would have had to buy back from investors to award to employees. Dell employees who were awarded Restricted Stock Units RSUs as part of their compensation will get some cash out of the buyout—but probably stock what they had when. RSUs will be converted to cash if the deal goes through, but options will company be locked into Out vesting plan. Happens asked about the changes, a Dell spokesman referred to the company's SEC filingsin which it said options on new long-term incentive programs and other compensation would be finalized after the deal is complete.
