In a piece talking about issuing employee shares and what the Managing Board (er) is authorized to do in this regard:
"Er kann die Aktien dabei insbesondere im Rahmen des Üblichen und Angemessenen unter dem aktuellen Börsenkurs zum Erwerb anbieten, um einen Anreiz für den Erwerb zu schaffen."
This translation is SOOOOOO dry it's making my brain sieze up. I understand exactly what it means, but just can't seem to find an appropriate way of putting it across in English.
Thanks!

Think I have the same problem as you here - but it must be something along these lines!

...he may offer shares...
IMHO "common practice" or "generally accepted practice" do already imply the "angemessen" part, at least to a certain extent (my thought: as it's common practice, it has to be "angemessen" as well). Perhaps you could include "fair" or "fairness" somewhere in your phrase to better reflect that bit.
As to dry translations, I am currently having my fair (!) share of these (just working on an EN>DE translation of an accounting manual ;-))
