Our Founder & CEO Of USA Mortgage Doug Schukar

The founder and sole owner of USA Mortgage Doug Schukar made a major announcement to all its employees on February 19th, 2018 that he has transferred 100% ownership of USA Mortgage to its almost 600 employees. The announcement came at the annual USA Mortgage Kickoff Event in front of almost 600 employees. The emotional event came as a surprise to all of the employees of DAS Acquisition Company LLC, the parent of USA Mortgage. USA Mortgage is now classified and under ESOP, Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Mr. Schukar, COO Linda Pring as well as upper-level management were structuring the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) for the past year and had it finalized in December 2017. All managers, loan officers, underwriters, processors, and support staff were not aware of this great news until Monday, February 19th, 2018 when the secret was announced by CEO Doug Schukar.

What Is An Employee Stock Ownership Plan?

Effective immediately, all ownership of USA Mortgage has been transferred to its employees.

• All of our full-time employees of DAS Acquisition Company LLC are now owners of USA Mortgage
• An employee stock ownership plan, commonly known as ESOP, is where employees own shares (ownership) of the company they work for
• ESOP is called a qualified investment plan where the company and the employee/owner both are recipients of tax benefits
• Employees are the shareholders and owners of the company

If the company does well, the shareholders do well.

Have ESOP Been Successful?

Studies and statistics prove that ESOP encourages participants of the plan to treat their company like its their business and do what is best for the company and shareholders:

• The American Dream of owning your own business is a reality with ESOP
• There is no costs involved with participating in the ESOP
• No upfront costs and/or fees are required
• Shareholders can take ownership under the trust or in their own name
• The shares under ESOP can be cashed in and resold to the company once the employee resigns or retires from the company

The shares are then redistributed or can be voided.

How Is ESOP Structured

ESOP can be structured in numerous ways. Most Employment Stock Ownership Plans have the majority of their shares owned by their employees and the founder can own a large percentage. However, the way CEO Doug Schukar structured USA Mortgage ESOP to be transferred 100% ownership to its employees.

• Employees can become eligible to receive shares for USA Mortgage Employee Stock Ownership Plan by completing 160 hours of full-time employment/service and other requirements

All employees who participate in ESOP at DAS Acquisition Company LLC will be fully vested in the plan after six years of full-time service.
