Sri Lanka: A partir de 2015, les droits de votes des plans d'actionnariat salarié ESOPs devront être exercés par les salariés eux-mêmes.
USA: La ESOP Association exprime une fois de plus son désaccord avec le projet de budget 2015 de l'administration Obama qui abîmerait l'actionnariat salarié. Les coopératives de salariés, comme les ESOPs mais en mieux. Une série de nouvelles entreprises sous contrôle de plans ESOPs.
