An excerpt from one of the 3/25 Benefits Link Newletter articles states:
At its board meeting on March 23rd, the Financial Account Standards Board (FASB) board voted to issue a proposed FASB Staff Position (FSP), tentatively titled Proposed FSP EITF 00-19-a, "Application of EITF Issue No. 00-19, 'Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock' to Freestanding Financial Instruments Originally Issued as Employee Compensation".
I wonder if they get paid by the word.
