Stock Appreciation Rights (sars)
Definition of "Stock appreciation rights (sars)"
Contractual rights to a stipulated percentage of the increase in the value of an insurance agency over a given future period of time. They are used to convey a percentage of the increase in the agency's value to a key employee without resulting in the owner (s) of the agency owning less than 50%. The advantages of such a stock transfer for the agency owner include the following:
- Noncompete agreements not further reinforced since the key employee does not receive benefits if an agreement is violated.
- The key employee is tied to the agency because that employee can become an equity owner without actually committing his or herown funds.
