Nypro Inc. (A) The Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) Case Study Solution

It somehow managed to outperform many of its competitors, although the stock redemptions were draining the business of the funds needed to pursue valuable market opportunities. Nevertheless, some considered the company’s current trajectory was not sustainable. Its visionary leader had vowed never to sell the business or take it public, but many believed it was time when an offer was made to buy the company.
