Clawback/Recoupment Clause Samples
A Clawback/Recoupment clause allows one party to recover funds or benefits previously paid out if certain conditions are later met, such as a breach of contract, misrepresentation, or failure to meet performance targets. In practice, this means that bonuses, commissions, or other payments can be reclaimed if, for example, financial results are restated or misconduct is discovered after payment. The core function of this clause is to protect the paying party from losses due to errors or wrongdoing, ensuring accountability and discouraging improper behavior.

Clawback/Recoupment. (a) The Committee may, to the extent permitted by governing law, require reimbursement of any payment of Shares received in settlement of this Award if the Award Recipient is an employee of pay grade 22 or higher as of the Grant Date where: (i) the payment was predicated upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement of the Company’s financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which restatement occurs no more than three years from the date of settlement of this Award, where the Committee reasonably determines that any employee engaged in intentional misconduct that caused or partially caused the need for the restatement, and a lower payment would have been made to the Award Recipient based upon the restated financial results; provided, however, that the Committee reserves the discretion to determine that any Award Recipient shall not be subject to this provision; or (ii) the Award Recipient engaged in ethical misconduct in violation of the Company’s Code of Business Ethics, which the Committee reasonably determines caused material business or reputational harm to the Company.
(b) If the Committee reasonably determines that any payment of Shares received in settlement of this Award should be reimbursed under subsections (a)(i) or (a)(ii), then the following shall apply: (i) in the event reimbursement is required under subsection (a)(i), the Award Recipient shall be required to reimburse the Company in an amount equal to the dollar value of the Common Stock the Award Recipient received in excess of what the Award Recipient would have received on such date had the payment been based upon such restated financial results; or (ii) in the event reimbursement is required under subsection (a)(ii), the Award Recipient shall be required to promptly reimburse the Company in an amount the Committee reasonably determines to be appropriate, which could equal the full value of the Common Stock the Award Recipient received during such three-year period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to make any additional payment in the event that the restated financial results would have resulted in a greater number of Shares upon payment of the Award to the Award Recipient.
(c) In the event the Award Recipient is obligated to reimburse the Company for amounts under subsections (b)(i) or (b)(ii), the Company may, at its sole election: (i) require the Award Recipient to pay...
