Can a publicly-traded company be a majority owner of a joint venture that issues stock options (in the joint venture--not the parent company) to its employees and board members? Does anyone know of examples of this?

    I am not sure what you are asking. Is the JV issuing to its employees and board? If so this does not affect the public company other than for reporting on a consolidated return.

    If the JV is issuing to the parent's employees and board that is a different matter. I think the way to do it is to make the employees and directors have the same function at the JV level. It would still have to be reported as executive comp. If this isn't practical then I have never seen it. I would probably ask the SEC for advice.
