The new tax law will have an impact on several employee ownership issues, including Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs), stock options and restricted stock plans, and executive compensation.
The law did not, however, include several draconian changes to stock plans that had been included in early versions. ESOPs rules were not changed by the new law, but there will be some indirect effects on the plans.

New rules for exercising options and restricted stock units in closely held companies
New limitations on executive equity awards
