NEW YORK, July 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Companies that use
stock plan services provided by Siebert Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:
SIEB) now have a powerful new enhancement to help boost plan
participation. Siebert, through its broker-dealer subsidiary
Muriel Siebert & Co., Inc., is
adding Carver Edison's patented Cashless Participation™
technology to its platform. Cashless Participation helps employees
maximize their contributions to their company-sponsored stock plans
without additional payroll deductions.
The technology has been proven to provide plan participants with
50% to 150% more company stock without additional payroll
deductions. Siebert's clients can configure Cashless Participation
to include share utilization and compensation expense limits.
Carver Edison Founder and CEO Aaron
Shapiro explained the significance of this new partnership,
"Every day, we work to help companies increase the compensation of
their global workforce while creating value for shareholders.
Partnering with Siebert to deliver Cashless Participation to their
clients expands our ability to accomplish this."
Mr. Shapiro also emphasized the important legacy of Muriel Siebert, "Ms. Siebert was the first woman
to own a seat on the New York Stock Exchange and lead one of its
member firms. She was a powerful advocate for diversity, financial
inclusion, and transformative financial products.
Siebert's new ownership group is focused on fulfilling her
legacy. To that end, a portion of the proceeds from Cashless
Participation for Siebert clients will be donated to a charity of
the issuer's choice through a newly created Cashless Participation
philanthropic plan."
"We're excited to bring Carver Edison groundbreaking technology
to our clients," said Eric Tassell,
SVP of Siebert Corporate Services. "As a brokerage firm for the
digital age, our goal is to deliver an exceptional client
experience through innovation and new advances. Cashless
Participation is a powerful new way to maximize purchase plan
benefits and promote employee ownership for our clients and their
employees worldwide."
Founded in 1967, Siebert is a renowned brokerage firm
specializing in equity compensation plans, managed portfolios,
insurance, and investments.
