UBS Wealth Management Americas to speak at 24th Annual NASPP Conference
UBS Wealth Management Americas today announced that four representatives from UBS Equity Plan Advisory Services (EPAS) have been
selected as speakers for the National Association of Stock Plan Professionals (NASPP) 24th Annual Conference, to be held from
October 24 - 27 in Houston, TX. With nearly 6,000 members, NASPP is the leading membership association in the field of equity
compensation. The conference is a premier event for those involved in the granting, servicing and management of equity
compensation, attracting close to 2,000 attendees and delivering critical guidance on the latest developments, practices and trends
in corporate stock plans.
"We are proud to again be one of the sponsors of this year's NASPP conference, where we can continue to share insights with our
clients and partners," said Michael Barry, Head of UBS Equity Plan Advisory Services.
On October 25 and 26, Michael Nannini, Head of Participant Experience, will facilitate group discussions on "Employee Education
and Communication," where attendees will share individual experiences and best practices, as well as seek feedback from peers about
equity compensation planning. According to UBS Participant Voice, an industry-wide survey of equity plan participants, employees perceive twice as much
value in their equity compensation when they take three specific actions—planning, advice and diversification. In addition, when
employees take these three specific actions with UBS, the survey revealed that perceived value increased even more than the
industry average.
On October 25, Ryan Trent, Relationship Manager for UBS EPAS, will speak on the panel, “Be Prepared For T+2,” where experts will
discuss how the new trade settlement timeline will affect issuers and third-party providers.
At the Ask the Experts Booth, Jesse Amarillas, Senior Vice President, Wealth Management and Tommy Swindle, Manager, Financial
Reporting, will offer important insights about administering Rule 10b5-1 Plans and supporting Section 16 services. In addition,
they will discuss UBS EPAS's latest research on the behaviors and attitudes of equity plan participants and what participants can
do to maximize the value they place on their awards.
