409A Valuation Clause Samples

A 409A Valuation clause establishes the process for determining the fair market value of a company's common stock, typically for the purpose of setting the exercise price of stock options in compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. This clause outlines how and when the valuation will be conducted, often requiring an independent third-party appraisal and specifying the frequency of such valuations, such as annually or upon significant corporate events. Its core function is to ensure that stock options are granted at a price that meets IRS requirements, thereby protecting both the company and its employees from potential tax penalties associated with non-compliance.
