The Restricted Stock Unit Agreement is used when a company wishes to grant equity-based compensation to employees in Belgium. This document is essential for companies operating in Belgium or employing Belgian residents who participate in equity incentive plans. The agreement must comply with Belgian corporate law, tax regulations, employment law, and EU data protection requirements. It typically forms part of a broader equity compensation plan and includes specific provisions addressing Belgian tax treatment of RSUs, social security contributions, and securities law compliance. The document is particularly important for companies looking to attract and retain talent while ensuring legal compliance in the Belgian jurisdiction.
