📢 New BMK Blog Post: Executive Compensation Clawback Disputes 📢

Our new blog provides an overview of executive clawback disputes. These are situations where a company seeks to recover compensation previously paid to an executive.

It covers several key topics:
• Executive compensation is defined as the total pay and benefits package for senior leadership, including base salary, bonuses, equity, deferred compensation, and perks.
• Executive clawbacks are mechanisms allowing companies to reclaim compensation under specific circumstances, such as financial restatements, executive misconduct, performance failures, or contractual triggers.
• Clawback disputes arise when companies and executives disagree over whether a clawback provision applies, whether the triggering conditions were met, how repayment amounts should be calculated, or whether the company followed the proper process.
• Applicable laws influencing clawback policies include the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, SEC Rule 10D-1, and corporate governance codes. These primarily govern public companies but also influence private company practices.
• Dispute resolution can take informal paths (negotiated settlements, internal reviews, mediation) or formal proceedings (arbitration, litigation, injunctive relief).

📢 New BMK Blog Post: Deadlock in Closely Held Companies 📢

Our new blog post addresses shareholder deadlock, a situation where business owners or directors in closely held companies cannot agree on key decisions, stalling operations. It covers several core topics:

Causes. Deadlocks commonly arise from equal ownership splits, poorly drafted governance documents, diverging business goals, and personal conflicts among founders or partners.

Consequences. Unresolved deadlocks can delay transactions, increase costs, damage the company's reputation, and threaten long-term viability.

Resolution options. The article outlines several approaches, ranging from negotiation and mediation to appointing a neutral director or invoking a deadlock resolution clause. When internal solutions fail, courts may intervene, potentially ordering dissolution or equitable relief under Massachusetts law (M.G.L. c. 156D, § 14.30).

Buyout and exit mechanisms. Tools such as shotgun clauses, buy-sell agreements, call and put options, and forced sale provisions allow one party to exit while the business continues.

Prevention through planning. The article emphasizes proactive drafting of shareholders' agreements, operating agreements, deadlock resolution clauses, and exit clauses, noting that Massachusetts law (M.G.L. c. 156D, § 7.32) permits closely held companies to adopt governance agreements tailored to their needs.

If you are experiencing deadlock regarding a closely held company or small business, please contact us on the BMK website.
