To answer each of the above: 

1. Can I expense some of my awards under IFRS2 rather than GAAP?

a.	Yes!  Because expense methodology is set at the grant level, some grants can be expensed under the straightline GAAP methodology and others expensed using accelerated graded vesting for IFRS2.


2. Can I manage grant agreements and grant acceptance through the platform?

a.	You bet!  Microsoft® Word documents can be used as grant agreement templates, with the legal language agreed to by your council and straightforward macros (for instance, first name would be %fname%).  Once uploaded, administrators can have the system dynamically generate a grant agreement, including the participant’s information, grant detail and vesting information, based on the template.  Administrators may upload as many templates as they like.  Administrators can also direct the system to email participants letting them know there’s a new grant agreement to review and accept in the OptionTrax participant portal.  Participants can then login to the participant portal, review the agreement and accept the agreement using the built-in e-signature functionality.  No need to maintain a separate account like a DocuSign.  Participants can draw their own signature or select from several pre-made signatures right in the participant portal.  The system will apply the digital signature to the agreement upon acceptance along with a time and date stamp and IP address stamp for audit purposes.  The administrator and participant will have access to the executed agreement and the system notes the date and time the participant accepted the grant for administrator reporting.


3. How do I setup performance vesting?

a.	In the vesting management area, administrators can create performance metrics for market-based and non-market-based performance awards and can determine minimum, target and maximum payouts.  These metrics can be applies to any vesting schedule and each grant tranche can have time-based metrics, performance or both.  When a metric is marked complete, OptionTrax will update the payout for all grants tied to that metric.  For non-market-based performance metrics, administrators can include expense hedging and EPS dilution metrics.
