EASi BrokEr DirEct with rAymonD JAmESWhat You’re Up AgainstManaging your stock plan and the needs of your participants is no

small feat. You must handle all the administration and accounting,

keep track of all the equity you grant and meet all the associated

compliance mandates. These days you need to support RSUs as

well as options and you’ll probably want to offer an ESPP too, since

participants can count on returns, even if the market continues its

ups and downs. You also need a broker who can provide support and

handle real-time trades at a price that’s right for your company and

your participants.

What You Need Wouldn’t it be nice to have a platform for exercises that frees stock

plan administrators from the bulk of inquiry, execution and settlement

tasks? You could also benefit from a self service portal that enables

direct market access for placing market or limit orders. A portal where

participants can conveniently exercise their vested stock options using

an intuitive tool that steps them through the process would be ideal.

Having stock plan management software that’s available 24 hours

a day from any computer and handles all the intricate details would

make your life easier, too.

How EASi and Raymond James Deliver EASi Broker Direct is a fully automated stock and option transaction

platform jointly developed by EASi and Raymond James. Beyond

EASi’s stock plan management solutions, plan participants use the

EASi Share Participant Portal to initiate direct electronic trades.

Participants benefit from faster access to proceeds and a secure step-

by-step process for initiating exercises. EASi supports the end-to-end

exercise and settlement process, provides tools for broker operations

and enables event-driven communications with all players. Raymond

James handles all the broker transaction processing and offers the

most robust trading solution on the market for just one cent per share*.
