Dividend Provisions (a) Each holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Common Stock Directors (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation), out of funds legally available therefor, cash dividends on each share of Series B Preferred Stock at a rate equal to $12.00 per share per annum. All dividends shall be cumulative, whether or --------- not earned or declared, and shall accrue on a daily basis from the date of issuance of Series B Preferred Stock, and shall be payable annually in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date (as defined in paragraph B), commencing on the first Dividend Payment Date after the date of issuance of such Series B Preferred Stock. Each dividend on Series B Preferred Stock shall be payable to the holders of record of Series B Preferred Stock as they appear on the stock register of the Corporation on such record date as may be fixed by the Board of Directors, which record date shall not be less than ten nor more than 60 days prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date. Dividends shall cease to accrue in respect of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock on the date such shares are converted to shares of Class B Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with paragraph A(5) hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, unless and until such dividends are declared by the Common Stock Directors, there shall be no obligation to pay such dividends in cash; provided, however, -------- ------- that such dividends shall continue to cumulate until the time of conversion to Class B Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock as provided herein if not earlier declared and paid. Accrued dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock if not paid on the first or any subsequent Dividend Payment Date following accrual shall thereafter accrue additional dividends ("Additional ---------- Dividends") in respect thereof compounded annually, at the rate of 12% per --------- annum.
Dividend Policy Unless the Board unanimously resolves otherwise at a ----------------- duly convened meeting, the following dividend policy shall apply throughout the Duration of the Joint Venture and regardless of the amount of dividends that may have been or will be paid to any Shareholder:
Dividend Payments The Reinsurer will not reimburse the Company for dividends paid to policyholders.
No Dividend Equivalents No dividend equivalents shall be paid to the Employee with regard to the Stock Units.
Cash Dividends or Distributions If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula: where: CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; SP = the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and D = the cash amount distributed per share of Common Stock in such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that if D is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, each Holder will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held by such Holder on the record date for such dividend or distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Common Stock, and without having to convert its Notes, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date. To the extent such dividend or distribution is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.
Dividends So long as any shares of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock will be outstanding, the holders of the Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative preferential dividends accruing at the LIBOR Rate on the value of $100.00 per share, payable quarterly on the 1st day of March, June, September and December of each year, beginning December 1, 1997 (each date being called a "Dividend Payment Date"), the dividends to be cumulative and payable as allowed by the Nevada Business Corporation Act, Chapter 78, Nevada Revised Statutes, with respect to the quarterly dividend period (or portion of it) ending on the day preceding the respective Dividend Payment Date, fixed for that purpose by the Board in advance of payment of each particular dividend. The LIBOR Rate shall mean the rate (rounded, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) for deposits in United States Dollars for a maturity of three months which appears on the Telerate Page 3750 at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time representing the offered side of dollar deposits in the London market two (2) London business days prior to the effective date of the applicable LIBOR Rate. The LIBOR Rate shall be presumed to be the three months London Interbank Offered Rates as shown in the Wall Street Journal under "Money Rates" as long as such rates are published. The LIBOR Rate will be fixed on the Original Issue Date and thereafter be changed at every Dividend Payment Date to be effective until the next Dividend Payment Date. The "Original Issue Date" means the first date on which the Corporation will issue any shares of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock. Dividends on the Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be cumulative from the Original Issue Date (whether or not declared and whether or not in any dividend period or dividend periods there will be net profits or net assets of the Corporation legally available for the payment of those dividends). So long as any shares of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, the Corporation may not declare or pay any dividend, make a distribution, or purchase, acquire, redeem, or set aside or make monies available for a sinking fund for the purchase or redemption of, any shares of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation including Common Stock, par value $.01, of the Corporation ("junior stock") (other than as a result of a reclassification of junior stock into another class of junior stock, or the exchange or conversion of one junior stock for or into another junior stock) unless (i) all dividends in respect of the Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods have been paid and such dividends for the current dividend period have been paid or declared and duly provided for, and (ii) all amounts in respect of the mandatory redemption of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of paragraph 5 below have been paid for all prior applicable periods and all amounts in respect of such mandatory redemption for the current applicable period have been paid or duly provided for. Subject to the foregoing, and not otherwise, the dividends (payable in cash, stock or otherwise) as may be determined by the Board may be declared and paid on any junior stock from time to time out of any funds legally available, and the Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to participate in any such dividends, whether payable in cash, stock or otherwise. Liquidation Rights. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock then outstanding are entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders, whether such assets are capital, surplus or earnings, before any payment or declaration and setting apart for payment of any amount will be made in respect of any shares of any junior stock with respect to the payment of dividends or distribution of assets on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, an amount equal to $100 per share plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends (including a prorated quarterly dividend from the last Dividend Payment Date to the date of such payment) in respect of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up consummated. If upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the assets to be distributed among the holders of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to the shareholders of the full preferential amounts aforesaid, then the entire assets of the Corporation to be distributed shall be distributed ratably among the holders of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock based on the full preferential amounts for the number of shares of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock. A consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or corporations in which the stockholders of the Corporation receive solely capital stock of the acquiring or surviving corporation (or of the direct or indirect parent corporation of the acquiring corporation), except for cash in lieu of fractional shares, will not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation as those terms are used in this Certificate. Mandatory Redemption. The Corporation will, at the redemption price equal to $100 per share plus an amount, payable in cash, equal to the sum of all accumulated and unpaid dividends per share (including a prorated quarterly dividend from the last Dividend Payment Date to the applicable Redemption Date) (the "Redemption Price"), redeem from any source of funds legally available therefor, the amount of shares of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding on the date set forth on the Redemption Schedule attached to this Certificate. Redemption Date shall be the date on which any shares of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock are redeemed by the Corporation. This Certificate shall be notice of this mandatory redemption on the dates specified on the Redemption Schedule, and any further notice is waived by acceptance of this Certificate. If the Corporation's records show there is more than one holder of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock, the Corporation will effect the redemption pro rata according to the number of shares held by each holder of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock shown on the books of the Corporation. On or before the date fixed for redemption, each holder of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock will surrender the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock to the Corporation and the Redemption Price for the shares will be paid in cash on the Redemption Date to the person whose name appears on the certificate or certificates as the owner, and each surrendered certificate will be canceled and retired. In the event that less than all of the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate will be issued representing the unredeemed shares. Unless the Corporation defaults in the payment in full of the Redemption Price, dividends on the Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock called for redemption will cease to accumulate on the Redemption Date, and all rights of the holders of the shares redeemed will cease to have any further rights with respect to the shares on the Redemption Date, other than to receive the Redemption Price.
Dividends or Distributions (a) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of shares of any other series of Preferred Stock or other class of capital stock of the Corporation ranking prior and superior to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of the assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, (1) quarterly dividends payable in cash on the last day of each fiscal quarter in each year, or such other dates as the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall approve (each such date being referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or a fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, in the amount of $.01 per whole share (rounded to the nearest cent) less the amount of all cash dividends declared on the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the following clause (2) since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series A Preferred Stock (the total of which shall not, in any event, be less than zero) and (2) dividends payable in cash on the payment date for each cash dividend declared on the Common Stock in an amount per whole share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the Formula Number (as hereinafter defined) then in effect times the cash dividends then to be paid on each share of Common Stock. In addition, if the Corporation shall pay any dividend or make any distribution on the Common Stock payable in assets, securities or other forms of noncash consideration (other than dividends or distributions solely in shares of Common Stock), then, in each such case, the Corporation shall simultaneously pay or make on each outstanding whole share of Series A Preferred Stock a dividend or distribution in like kind equal to the Formula Number then in effect times such dividend or distribution on each share of the Common Stock. As used herein, the "Formula Number" shall be 1,000; provided, however, that, if at any time after the Record Date, the Corporation shall (i) declare or pay any dividend on the 49 Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or make any distribution on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide (by a stock split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock or (iii) combine (by a reverse stock split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such event the Formula Number shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the Formula Number in effect immediately prior to such event by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that are outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to such event (and rounding the result to the nearest whole number); and provided further, that, if at any time after the Record Date, the Corporation shall issue any shares of its capital stock in a merger, reclassification, or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then in each such event the Formula Number shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such merger, reclassification or change so that each share of Preferred Stock continues to be the economic equivalent of a Formula Number of shares of Common Stock prior to such merger, reclassification or change.
Dividend Rights Subject to the prior rights of holders of all classes of stock at the time outstanding having prior rights as to dividends, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of any assets of the corporation legally available therefor, such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors.
Share Dividends Any additional shares of Ordinary Shares deemed to have been issued relating to a share dividend shall be deemed to have been issued for no consideration.
Dividend Equivalent Units On the date that the Company pays a cash dividend to holders of Stock generally, the Participant shall be credited with a number of additional whole Dividend Equivalent Units determined by dividing (a) the product of (i) the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per share of Stock on such date and (ii) the total number of Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Units previously credited to the Participant pursuant to the Award and which have not been settled or forfeited pursuant to the Company Reacquisition Right (as defined below) as of such date, by (b) the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on such date. Any resulting fractional Dividend Equivalent Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. Such additional Dividend Equivalent Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and shall be settled or forfeited in the same manner and at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units originally subject to the Award with respect to which they have been credited.
