YPOG advises Rematiq on employee participation program

Cologne/Berlin/Hamburg — YPOG has provi­ded compre­hen­sive legal advice to the up-and-coming start-up Rema­tiq on the struc­tu­ring and imple­men­ta­tion of a modern employee parti­ci­pa­tion program. Rema­tiq uses arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence to auto­mate regu­la­tory proces­ses in medi­cal tech­no­logy to help compa­nies achieve market appr­ovals faster and more efficiently. 

The model chosen by Rema­tiq enables employees to obtain a genuine, indi­rect stake in the company’s shares — an attrac­tive and sustainable alter­na­tive to tradi­tio­nal virtual parti­ci­pa­tion models (VSOP). A key advan­tage is the tax relief under Section 19a of the German Income Tax Act (EStG), which was crea­ted speci­fi­cally for young compa­nies. This regu­la­tion enables start-ups such as Rema­tiq to retain their employees in the company in the long term and give them a genuine share in the company’s econo­mic success.
