In addition to added business transparency and an ESOP program, the transition to a joint-stock company gives employees liquidation options if they decide to monetize their shares. GetResponse has committed to an unconditional buyback program for every employee holding shares. This means there is no external event that needs to happen in order to sell shares, which results in direct financial benefits for employees and their families.
