6. GEO Survey Your Company is Invited to Participate in our 2013 GEO Global Equity Insights Survey As part of a joint project with GEO, Siemens and Hostettler, Kramarsch & Partner, GEO invites you to participate in its first ever Global Equity Insights Survey, which addresses current market practice of equity-based compensation and examines the prevalent plan designs across the world's most important economic regions. Any company with an equity-based compensation plan in place can participate in the survey; you do not need to be a GEO member to participate; however, to ensure the best results, companies should identify only one person to participate in the survey. The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete and must be completed by Monday, 22 April 2013. All participants will receive the full survey results. www.globalequity.org
