Equity Compensation Planning Solutions
 
StockOpter® v.1.01

 

Date of release: December 30, 1999

Major new features: Bug fix for Restricted Stock Plan calculations

Details: Within the RSP section of each Case sheet, the cell formula in the row labeled "Capital Gain" is incorrect. If you are not modeling any RSPs, this bug will not affect you and there is no reason to upgrade.

Depending on the parameters of a specific RSP, this bug can have a significant impact on results reported for both RSPs and the model as a whole. While the exact formula will vary depending on the number and type of plans in the model, in a model with just a single RSP, the cell formula for cell "C30" in version 1.00 will read:

=IF(C18=0,0,(C20*BaseCase!C$2)-(C20*(C29/C18)))

The correct formula, fixed in version 1.01, should read:

=IF(C18=0,0,(C20*BaseCase!C$2)-(C20*(C29/C28)))

The single difference between the formulas is in the last parameter ("C28" rather than "C18"). All other cell formulas in that row have the same error, varying only by the column being referenced.
