2005

Jared Kaplan was quoted in the April 16 issue of the Akron Beacon Journal in an article about the 19th Annual Ohio Employee Ownership Conference, in which attendees learned how to form and maintain an ESOP.  Some business owners are daunted by the complicated legal, financial and regulatory maze of setting up an ESOP.  "This is major surgery in most cases," Mr. Kaplan said.  "It's not a little outpatient procedure."

2004

Jerry Kaplan was quoted on ESOPs in the fall issue of Business Week Small Business.  The article reported that plans are often extolled, rightly, for improving employee morale and loyalty but a great benefit of ESOPs is often overlooked.  ESOPs can be a tax-savvy way to raise money for expansion or to buy out owners.  "Even though ESOPs are used by large companies, their sweet spot is small business," Mr. Kaplan commented.

Jared Kaplan was quoted in the May issue of Inc. regarding ESOPs.  Mr. Kaplan commented that ESOPs work best when there is a good relationship and communication with employees.  "I encourage clients to keep paying 401(k) plans, or even provide higher level of benefits to compensate for the greater level of risk the employees are taking," Mr. Kaplan said.

Jared Kaplan was quoted in the December 10 issue of The Chicago Tribune commenting on United Airline's ESOPs in light of the company's bankruptcy filing.  Mr. Kaplan commented that United's ESOP is unlikely to drive much change in ESOPs because "United's ESOP emerged out of a desire by pilots to get control of the company, and it didn't really even do that."
