Delayed Distribution to Specified Employee Sample Clauses

The Delayed Distribution to Specified Employee clause establishes that certain employees, typically those classified as "specified employees" under IRS rules (such as key executives of publicly traded companies), will have their benefit distributions delayed for a set period, usually six months, following separation from service. This delay applies to nonqualified deferred compensation plans and is designed to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, which imposes strict timing rules on distributions to prevent tax penalties. The core function of this clause is to ensure legal compliance and avoid adverse tax consequences for both the employer and the affected employee.
Delayed Distribution to Specified Employee. If the Company determines in accordance with Sections 409A and 416(i) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, in the Company’s sole discretion, that Executive is a Specified Employee of the Company on the date Executive’s employment with the Company terminates and that a delay in benefits provided under this Agreement is necessary to comply with Code Section 409A(A)(2)(B)(i), then any severance payments and any continuation of benefits or reimbursement of benefit costs provided by this Agreement, and not otherwise exempt from Section 409A, shall be delayed for a period of six (6) months following the date of termination of Executive’s employment (the “409A Delay Period”). In such event, any severance payments and the cost of any continuation of benefits provided under this Agreement that would otherwise be due and payable to Executive during the 409A Delay Period shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum cash amount in the month following the end of the 409A Delay Period. For purposes of this Agreement, “Specified Employee” shall mean an employee who, on an Identification Date (“Identification Date” shall mean each December 31) is a specified employee as defined in Section 416(i) of the Code without regard to paragraph (5) thereof. If Executive is identified as a Specified Employee on an Identification Date, then Executive shall be considered a Specified Employee for purposes of this Agreement during the period beginning on the first April 1 following the Identification Date and ending on the following March 31.
