Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a stock option processing system and a computer software program for processing a stock option system right exercising procedure by a simple procedure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, many companies have begun to introduce the stock option system.

Here, the stock option system is a kind of employee incentive plan that is linked to a rise in stock price, which gives a director or an employee the right to receive the transfer of own stock at a fixed price. According to this stock option system, the profits of the rights grantees will be obtained by the rise in stock prices, so the rights holders will be more aware of their own stock prices. By improving the company's performance by improving the willingness of each right holder to work, the stock price rises, and by recognizing that this will increase the amount of compensation, the effect as an incentive can be expected. In addition, since the cost of the company can be kept constant regardless of the rise in the stock price, it is possible to build a low-cost success reward system that utilizes the stock price. Therefore, this stock option system is attracting attention from many companies.

The stock option system includes a treasury stock system and a stock subscription right system. The treasury stock method is that the executing company acquires and owns its own shares through a market or tender offer, grants stock options (rights to request the transfer of shares) to directors and employees, and transfers them according to the exercise of rights. A method. The stock subscription right method is a method in which stock options (stock subscription rights) are granted to directors and employees, and new shares are issued in accordance with the exercise of rights. Which method to use is generally determined by the needs of the company and the features of both methods.

The stock option system was approved in May 1997 by the revision of the Commercial Code, but the tax system at the time of exercising the right was promoted in April 1998 to promote the system introduction. The above preferential treatment was taken. In other words, stock options under the Commercial Code have special tax measures (Article 29-2 of the Special Tax Measures Act), and the income tax on the economic profit generated when the rights are exercised can be exempted. However, in order to receive this tax exemption, there are various conditions such that the annual exercise price must be 10 million yen or less. Therefore, the holder of the stock option who wishes to receive this special exception must make a request for exercising the right after confirming whether his or her right exercise in the year satisfies this condition.

[0006] Conventionally, in order to manage the conditions for exercising the rights of this stock option, including the amount of exercise demand for the relevant year, it is common to check the details etc. received from the stock issuer or securities company. It was

[0007]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, it is troublesome and error-prone to obtain the total amount of rights exercised by the right holder himself, including the amount already requested for exercise this year. In addition to the above, it is also necessary to manage the number of shares that can be exercised. In other words, it is natural that stock options must be exercised within the number of shares granted, and there may be restrictions on the number of shares that can be exercised annually. It is necessary to calculate the number of shares that can be entitled.

[0008] Also, the stock issuing company needs to perform the same checks as those of the above-mentioned right holder, and in addition, it is necessary to make an exercise request and prepare documents satisfying the tax system requirements. There is. Furthermore, securities companies also had to repeat the above checks.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and is intended to reduce the overlapping labor of right holders, stock issuing companies, securities companies, etc., and to process the rights exercise procedure of the stock option system by a simple procedure. The purpose is to provide a stock option processing system.

Each of the above components 19 to 41 is actually a predetermined storage area secured in a storage medium (hard disk or the like) of the computer processing system and each component of a computer program stored therein, and the CPU 11 The function of the present invention is achieved by being called by the RAM 12 and executed.

In the following, more detailed configurations and functions of the above-described components will be described along with actual operations by taking a case of processing a stock option plan of a stock-based system as an example.

FIG. 3 shows an outline of the processing flow of this treasury stock method. The same reference numerals are given to the processes corresponding to the processes (steps S1 to S5) already described in FIG. In this treasury stock method, the request for exercising the right (step S1) is a request for transferring the stock, and the instruction for exercising the right (step S4) indicates that the target stock is transferred from the account of the stock issuing company 1 to the account of the right holder 2. It becomes the output instruction of the stock account transfer instruction. Further, the securities management system 5, which has received the account transfer processing instruction from the stock option processing system 4, carries out processing for transferring the stock from the stock issuer's account to the right holder's account in this system.

In addition, as a process not shown in FIG. 1 in this embodiment, the stock issuing company 1 uses the access terminal 7 to the stock option processing system 4 as shown in step S4 'in the drawing. There is a point to input approval / disapproval for each exercise request through direct access.

First, the procedure for requesting the exercise of rights by the right holder 2 (step S1) will be described below with reference to the flowcharts in FIG. 4 and subsequent figures and the terminal screen examples in FIG. 5 and subsequent figures.

As shown in FIG. 4, the right holder 2 first uses the access terminal 8 to access and log in to the stock option processing system 4 of the securities company 3 and selects a right exercise menu (not shown). Then, (step S1-1), a list of stock option plan information concerning the right holder 2 is displayed (step S1-2).
5 and 6 show examples of screens displayed on the access terminal at this time. First, the step S
When the right exercise menu is selected in 1-1, a confirmation screen 45 as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed, where the OK button 46 is displayed.
When is pressed, a stock option plan list screen 47 shown in FIG. 6A and a stock option plan selection screen 48 shown in FIG. 6B are displayed.

The right holder 2 confirms the contents of each stock option plan he owns by looking at the screen 47 of the stock plan information list, and selects the desired stock option plan through the selection screen 48 shown in FIG. 6 (b). And press the apply button 49. Here, what the right holder 2 should be careful of is the tax system type (shown by 50 in FIG. 6) of each of the option plans. As described above, as the tax system type, there are a “qualified” type that can receive the tax special case and a “non-qualified” type that cannot receive the special tax case.

Here, the "qualified" type means a plan in which the total amount of rights exercised for the option for one year (from January 1 to December 31) is set at 10 million yen or less, and "non-qualified" The “type” refers to plans that do not have such restrictions.

In step S1-3 shown in FIG. 4, when the right holder 2 selects a stock option plan to be exercised through the screen 48 of FIG. 6B and presses the application button 49, the step S1- At 4, it is judged whether the tax system type of the plan according to the selection is "qualified". If the tax system type is “eligible”, it is determined in step S1-5 whether the total amount of rights exercised for this year's plan for this year is 10 million yen or less, including the billed amount this time. If this is affirmative, it is determined in step S1-6 whether or not the total amount of rights exercised this year for all plans owned by the right holder is 10 million or less. In this embodiment, steps S1-5 and S1-6 are executed by displaying the screen 52 shown in FIG. 7 on the terminal 8 of the right holder 2. That is, in this screen, the question for determining step S1-5 is displayed in (1), and the question used for determining in step S1-6 is (2).
It is described in. According to such a configuration, in step S1-5, the total amount of rights exercised this year is 100 with only this plan.
It is determined whether the total number of exercised rights has reached 10 million in this year, not only in this plan, but also in all plans owned by the right holder in step S1-6.

On this screen 52, the right holder 2 responds to each question by checking either Yes or No in the check box 53, and if checked, pushes the application button 54. If the question (1) is No, as shown in step S1-5,
Regardless of the question in (2), an error message and a message indicating that the plan selection is incorrect are displayed (step S).
1-7). In other words, even if you choose to qualify for the tax system type, answering the question (1) with No means that you want to exercise your rights without tax qualification. Eligible plans should be selected, and if there is no contract with the stock issuer 1 for non-tax eligible plans, a separate contract should be concluded.

On the other hand, if the answer to (1) is Yes and the answer to (2) is Yes, it means that the tax system is "qualified". In this case, step S1-
It is possible to shift to the exercise request of the tax-qualified exercise plan shown in 8 to S1-11. The above processing is executed by the tax system qualified / unqualified confirmation unit 30 of the right exercise request acceptance unit 24.

Next, in step S1-8, the right exercise application screen 56 shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the access terminal 8 of the right holder 2. The right holder 2 confirms the contents of the plan relating to his own exercise request and the information about the exercising of the right on this screen 56, and the number of shares to be exercised is displayed in the input box (execution demand share number input reception unit 31) indicated by 59 in the figure. Enter. After inputting the number of shares to be exercised, the right holder 2 pushes the application confirmation button 60.

When the application button 60 is pressed, the tax qualification judging unit 32 of the system 4 determines whether the number of shares input by the right holder 2 is consistent with the plan, that is, the number of shares related to the input is right. It is judged whether the number of shares is exercisable and whether the total amount derived from this number of shares satisfies the conditions for special taxation.

If this determination is affirmative, then in step S1-10, the system 4 carries out the claim processing for exercising the qualified right. That is, this information is stored in the exercise history table 21 of the database 19 in order to be issued to the stock issuing company 1. At this time, this system 4
Displays the confirmation screen 61 shown in FIG. 9 to confirm the intention of the right holder 2 again. Then, when the right holder 2 presses the application execution button 62, appropriate processing is executed according to the treasury stock system or the stock subscription right system according to the contents of the plan.

In this example, since the plan for selection is the treasury stock method, the stock transfer bill output unit 33 of the system 4 creates and outputs the stock transfer bill 63. In the case of the new share subscription right system, the new share issue bill A output unit 34 outputs the new share issue bill A64.

Next, when the application for exercising the right is made, the amount of money required for exercising the right for the stock option is displayed on the terminal 8 of the right holder 2, as shown in the screen 65 of FIG. Encourage this right holder to transfer the money.

On the other hand, step S1- of FIG.
4 if the tax option plan of the stock option pertaining to the selection of the right holder 2 is “non-qualified”, and the total amount of rights exercised for all the plans held by the right holder is 1000 this year.
In the case of 10,000 or more, the processing procedure for exercising the nonqualified right is executed in steps S1-12-14.

That is, in this case, the system 4
A right exercise application screen 67 as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the terminal 8 of the right holder 2. This screen 67 is different from the screen for exercising rights eligible for taxation (FIG. 8), and does not display information for confirming the total amount of rights exercised this year. On this screen 67, the right holder 2 inputs the number of shares to be exercised for exercise in the input box 68 and presses the application confirmation button 69.

Then, in step S1-13, a consistency judgment is made as to whether the number of shares demanded matches the plan contents.
If the determination is affirmative, a request process for exercising an unqualified right is performed in step S1-14. In this case, as in the case of the qualified plan, the screen for confirming the contents of the right application (FIG. 9) and the screen for the transfer amount (FIG. 10) are displayed, and the procedure ends. If you are not eligible for the tax system, you will not be tax-free, so you need to pay the tax separately from the transfer of the purchase amount.

Next, the right exercise approval processing by the right exercise request approval processing unit 25 will be described with reference to FIG. This process is started by the stock issuing company 1 logging in to the stock option processing system 4 using the access terminal 7 in step S4 ′ shown in FIG. When the stock issuing company 1 identifies itself and logs in, the initial screen shown in FIG. 12 is displayed on the terminal of the stock issuing company 1.
On this screen 70, the stock issuing company can select whether to display a list of all past applications (indicated by 71 in the figure) or only a list of unapproved applications (indicated by 72 in the figure). . Then, for example, by selecting the unapproved list (72) and pressing the list screen button 73, the sorting unit 35 sorts the information based on the unapproved and approved information of the stock option table 20 in the database 19. Then, a list (not shown) is displayed. Then, when the stock option plan to be approved is selected from this list, the witness input screen 75 shown in FIG. 13 is displayed on the terminal 7, so that the stock issuing company 1 sequentially reviews the content related to the request and approves it. It is possible to judge whether it is not approved or canceled. This judgment is made by checking the check box 76, and by pressing the registration button 77, it is possible to shift to the next approval. At this time, the fact that there is a deposit from the right holder 2 can be an important judgment factor in the approval.
In this embodiment, the deposit confirmation unit 36 accesses the server of the bank to obtain necessary information, and when the approval input screen 75 is displayed, the transfer information related thereto is displayed.

When the processing for all the unapproved claims is completed by the above procedure, a screen 78 as shown in FIG. 14 is displayed on the terminal 7 and a right exercise request instruction to the securities company 3 is issued. It becomes possible to emit. This process corresponds to step S4 in FIG.
Upon receipt of this instruction, the stock securities management system 5
The confirmation screen 79 shown in FIG. 15 is displayed on the terminal 7 of the stock issuing company 1, and an account transfer processing instruction is issued to the management system 5.

In this embodiment, the screen 75 shown in FIG.
If you choose to revoke (ie disapprove), all further claims for the same rightholder will be treated as cancellation. This is in the middle when there are multiple exercise requests to be approved for the same claimant1
If only the request of (1) is canceled, it is unclear whether there is the intention to continue the procedure for the subsequent requests. This processing is performed by the non-approval processing unit 37 in FIG.

Further, in the present embodiment, after the above processing is completed, in the case of the treasury stock method, the stock certificate account transfer instruction unit 38 shown in FIG. 2 operates and the transfer instruction shown in FIG. Output. This order is transmitted from the stock issuing company to the securities company 3 having the stock option processing system 4 by means of fax or the like.

When the approval is made in the above steps, the right exercise information updating unit 26 updates the exercise request history table 21 based on the approval result, and the number of stocks that can be exercised in the stock option table 20. Change and update. Next, the right exercise instruction output unit 27
Issues an instruction to the securities management system 5 to transfer the stock certificate relating to the exercise of rights from the account of the stock issuing company 1 to the account of the right holder 2 based on the approved exercise request.

Through the above steps, the procedure for exercising the right in the case of the treasury stock method is completed. With such a configuration, it is not necessary for the right holder, the stock issuer, and the securities company to check the exercise request for the stock option and whether the stock option is satisfied.

Next, the processing in the case of the stock subscription right system will be described with reference to the processing flow of FIG. It should be noted that the same types of procedures as those of the treasury stock method (FIG. 3) are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

That is, only the points different from the treasury stock system will be explained. First, in the case of this stock subscription right system, at the time of the right exercise request (step S1), the new stock issuance of the right exercise request acceptance section 24 (FIG. 2) is issued. The bill A output unit 34 outputs a new stock issuance bill A to be submitted to the stock issuing company based on the request of the right holder 2.

Further, the new stock issuance bill B and C output section 41 of the right exercise instruction output section 27 is output in the securities company 3 and is submitted to the financial institution which is the place of payment (step S7).

Conventionally, each of the new stock issuance invoices A to C was prepared by the right holder 2, but according to such a structure, at least a part of the documents is stock option in the securities company 3. Since the output / processing can be performed by the processing system 4, the labor of the right holder can be reduced and an accurate document can be easily prepared.

It is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned one embodiment and can be variously modified without changing the gist of the invention.

For example, the qualifying / non-qualifying judgment procedure is not limited to that of the above-described embodiment.

As described above, according to the present invention,
It is possible to provide a stock option processing system for reducing the redundant labor of the right holder, the stock issuer, the securities company, etc., and processing the procedure for exercising the rights of the stock option system by a simple procedure.
