Question: How many locations does the company have that offered its employees stock ownership as part of employees' remuneration for work performed starting in 2014?
Context: Stock dilution, also known as equity dilution, is the decrease in existing shareholders’ ownership of a company as a result of the company issuing new equity.  New equity increases the total shares outstanding which has a dilutive effect on the ownership percentage of existing shareholders.  This increase in the number of shares outstanding can result from a primary market offering (including an initial public offering), employees exercising stock options, or by issuance or conversion of convertible bonds, preferred shares or warrants into stock.  This dilution can shift fundamental positions of the stock such as ownership percentage, voting control, earnings per share, and the value of individual shares.  A broader definition specifies dilution as any event that reduces an investor's stock price below the initial purchase price.

An employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) is an employee-owner program that provides a company's workforce with an ownership interest in the company.  In an ESOP, companies provide their employees with stock ownership, often at no upfront cost to the employees.  ESOP shares, however, are part of employees' remuneration for work performed.  Shares are allocated to employees and may be held in an ESOP trust until the employee retires or leaves the company.  The shares are then either bought back by the company for redistribution or voided. This is a list of notable employee-owned companies by country.
