What is an ESOP Valuation?

An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) Valuation determines the Fair Market Value (FMV) of a company’s shares held within an ESOP. This valuation is conducted by a qualified, independent appraiser, reviewed by the ESOP trustee, and is required for:

    • Initial ESOP Transactions
    • Annual ESOP Valuations for IRS Form 5500
    • Mid-Year Valuations during mergers, acquisitions, or significant financial changes

Why ESOP Valuation is Crucial

Accurate ESOP valuations are essential to:

    • Ensure fair employee compensation.
    • Comply with ERISA, IRS, and DOL requirements.
    • Protect ESOP trustees from personal fiduciary liability.
    • Provide transparency to employees and shareholders.
    • Support succession planning and ownership transitions.
    • Defend against legal challenges, regulatory scrutiny, and penalties.
