Important Information About Section 83(b) Election
to Include Value of Restricted Stock Grant in Income at Grant Date:
As a recipient of a restricted stock grant under the Porter Bancorp, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan, you may make an election (called an "83(b) election") to recognize compensation income when the stock is granted, even though the stock is then subject to a risk of forfeiture (vesting). Making an 83(b) election causes current taxation of the fair market value of the stock granted, and withholding taxes are immediately due. If you make an 83(b) election, you must make arrangements satisfactory to Porter to pay those withholding taxes now.
By making an 83(b) election, any later appreciation in the stock will be taxed as capital gain income, and your holding period for capital gain purposes will begin on the date of taxation.
An 83(b) election must be made, if at all, within 30 days after the transfer of the stock to you
.
The downside of making an 83(b) election is that the election is generally irrevocable. Also, if you forfeit the stock, you may not receive any deduction for the amount previously included in income.
To the extent an 83(b) election is
not
made, Porter will be treated as the owner of the stock that continues to be subject to restriction for tax purposes, so any dividends will be treated as compensation paid to you by Porter, and will therefore be subject to withholding and FICA and Medicare taxes.
