Stock bonus plan
A stock bonus plan is established and maintained to provide benefits similar to those of a profit-sharing plan, but the contributions are not necessarily dependent upon profits and the benefits are distributable in the stock of the employer. A stock bonus plan is often referred to as an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) or an employee stock ownership trust.
