Dividends Clause Samples

Dividends. 1. Dividends paid by a company which is a resident of a Contracting State to a resident of the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State. 2. However, such dividends may also be taxed in the Contracting State of which the company paying the dividends is a resident and according to the laws of that State, but if the beneficial owner of the dividends is a resident of the other Contracting State, the tax so charged shall not exceed 5 per cent of the gross amount of the dividends. This paragraph shall not affect the taxation of the company in respect of the profits out of which the dividends are paid. 3. The term "dividends" as used in this Article means income from shares, “jouissance” shares or “jouissance” rights, mining shares, founders' shares or other rights, not being debt- claims, participating in profits, as well as income from other corporate rights which is subjected to the same taxation treatment as income from shares by the laws of the State of which the company making the distribution is a resident. 4. The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply if the beneficial owner of the dividends, being a resident of a Contracting State, carries on business in the other Contracting State of which the company paying the dividends is a resident through a permanent establishment situated therein, or performs in that other State independent personal services from a fixed base situated therein, and the holding in respect of which the dividends are paid is effectively connected with such permanent establishment or fixed base. In such case the provisions of Article 7 or Article 14, as the case may be, shall apply. 5. Where a company which is a resident of a Contracting State derives profits or income from the other Contracting State, that other State may not impose any tax on the dividends paid by the company, except insofar as such dividends are paid to a resident of that other State or insofar as the holding in respect of which the dividends are paid is effectively connected with a permanent establishment or a fixed base situated in that other State, nor subject the company's undistributed profits to a tax on the company's undistributed profits, even if the dividends paid or the undistributed profits consist wholly or partly of profits or income arising in such other State.

Dividends. The holders of the Deferral Preferred Shares, Series-[·] shall be entitled to receive and the Corporation shall pay thereon, as and when declared by the board of directors out of the monies of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, on each Dividend Payment Date, fixed cumulative preferential cash dividends equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (x) the product obtained by multiplying $1,000 by a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest payable by the Trust on the Trust Notes as of the Issue Date, by (y) four; provided that if an event (including a redemption) shall occur that results in accrued and unpaid dividends for a partial Dividend Period becoming payable, the dividend payable for any partial Dividend Periods shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the amount in (x) above by a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days attributable to the partial Dividend Period and the denominator of which is 365, subject in each case to any applicable withholding tax. If on any Dividend Payment Date the dividend payable on such date is not paid in full on all of the Deferral Preferred Shares, Series-[·] then issued and outstanding, such dividend or the unpaid part thereof shall be paid on a subsequent date or dates to be determined by the board of directors on which the Corporation shall have sufficient monies properly applicable, under the provisions of any applicable law and under the provisions of any trust indenture securing bonds, debentures or other securities of the Corporation, to the payment of the same. The holders of the Deferral Preferred Shares, Series-[·] shall not be entitled to any dividends other than or in excess of the cumulative preferential cash dividends hereinbefore provided. Payment shall be made by electronic funds transfer or by cheque of or on behalf of the Corporation payable in lawful money of the United States (less any tax required to be deducted) and payment thereof shall satisfy such dividends.

Dividends. 1. Dividends paid by a company which is a resident of a Contracting State to a resident of the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State. 2. However, such dividends may also be taxed in the Contracting State of which the company paying the dividends is a resident and according to the laws of that State, but if the beneficial owner of the dividends is a resident of the other Contracting State, the tax so charged shall not exceed:

Dividends. 1. Dividends paid by a company which is a resident of a Contracting State to a resident of the other Contracting State shall, if the recipient is the beneficial owner of the dividends, be taxable only in that other State. 2. The provisions of paragraph 1 shall not affect the taxation of the company in respect of the profits out of which the dividends are paid. 3. The term "dividends" as used in this Article means income from shares or other rights, not being debt-claims, participating in profits, as well as income from other corporate rights assimilated to income from shares by the taxation laws of the State of which the company making the distribution is a resident and also includes any other item which, under the laws of the Contracting State of which the company making the distribution is a resident, is treated as a dividend. 4. The provisions of paragraph 1 shall not apply if the beneficial owner of the dividends, being a resident of a Contracting State, carries on business in the other Contracting State of which the company paying the dividends is a resident, through a permanent establishment situated therein, or performs in that other State independent personal services from a fixed base situated therein, and the holding in respect of which the dividends are paid is effectively connected with such permanent establishment or fixed base. In such case the provisions of Article 7 or Article 14, as the case may be, shall apply. 5. Where a company which is a resident of a Contracting State derives profits or income from the other Contracting State, that other State may not impose any tax on the dividends paid by the company, except insofar as such dividends are paid to a resident of that other State or insofar as the holding in respect of which the dividends are paid is effectively connected with a permanent establishment or a fixed base situated in that other State, nor subject the company's undistributed profits to a tax on undistributed profits, even if the dividends paid or the undistributed profits consist wholly or partly of profits or income arising in such other State.

Dividends. (a) Subject to the preferential rights of the holders of Senior Stock with respect to priority of dividend payments, holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when and as authorized by the Board and declared by the Corporation, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, preferential cumulative cash dividends. From the date of original issue of the Series A Preferred Stock (or the date of issue of any Series A Preferred Stock issued after such original issue date) the Corporation shall pay cumulative cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock at the rate of 7.00% per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share (equivalent to a fixed annual amount of $1.75 per share) (the “Rate”). Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall accrue and be cumulative from (and including) the date of original issue or the end of the most recent Dividend Period (as defined below) for which dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have been paid and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on January 5, April 5, July 5 and October 5 of each year or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if paid on such date (each, a “Dividend Payment Date”). A “Dividend Period” is the respective period commencing on and including January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year and ending on and including the day preceding the first day of the next succeeding Dividend Period (other than the initial Dividend Period and the Dividend Period during which any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation). Any dividend payable on the Series A Preferred Stock for any Dividend Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Dividends will be payable to holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock as they appear in the stock records of the Corporation at the close of business on the 25th day of the month preceding the applicable Dividend Payment Date, i.e., December 25, March 25, June 25 and September 25 (each, a “Dividend Record Date”). (b) No dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be authorized by the Board or declared by the Corporation or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation at such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Corporation, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, prohibits such authorization, declarat...

Dividends. If at any time during the period from and including the Effective Date, to and including the last Expiration Date, an ex-dividend date for a cash dividend occurs with respect to the Shares, then the Calculation Agent will adjust any of the Strike Price, Number of Warrants, Daily Number of Warrants and/or any other variable relevant to the exercise, settlement or payment of the Transaction to preserve the fair value of the Warrants to Dealer after taking into account such dividend.

Dividends. (a) Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock payable semiannually, which dividends shall be declared by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof, out of the assets of the Company legally available therefor, and shall be payable semiannually commencing on the 180th day following the Issue Date (or the following Business Day if any such payment date is not a Business Day) (each such date being referred to herein as a “Dividend Payment Date”) at the rate per annum of 6% per share on the Liquidation Preference; provided that, in the event that on any Dividend Payment Date, the Company is not permitted to declare or pay such dividend or incur such liability either (x) as a matter of law or (y) under the terms of any loan agreement, credit agreement, guaranty, or related agreement, such dividend (a “Deferred Dividend”) shall not be declared by the Board of Directors, shall not be paid or payable on such Dividend Payment Date and no liability shall be incurred in respect thereof, and instead, such Deferred Dividend shall be declared, become payable and be paid and the liability in respect thereof be incurred on the first succeeding Dividend Payment Date on which the Company is not prohibited from declaring, paying and incurring the liability in respect of such Deferred Dividend (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such Deferred Dividend shall be payable in addition to, and not in lieu of, any dividend which would ordinarily be payable on such succeeding Dividend Payment Date). The amount of dividends payable for any other period that is shorter or longer than a full semiannual dividend period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Commencing on and following the Meeting End Date, in the event that dividends are paid on shares of Common Stock in any dividend period with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, then a dividend shall be payable in respect of each share of Series A Preferred Stock for such period in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the amount otherwise payable in respect of such share of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the foregoing paragraph and (ii) the product of (A) the aggregate dividends payable per share of Common Stock in such dividend period times (B) the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible. For purposes of this Section...

Dividends. Dividends and distributions on Shares of a particular Series may be paid with such frequency as the Trustees may determine, which may be daily or otherwise pursuant to a standing resolution or resolutions adopted only once or with such frequency as the Trustees may determine, to the Shareholders of that Series, from such of the income, accrued or realized, and capital gains, realized or unrealized, and out of the assets belonging to that Series, as the Trustees may determine, after providing for actual and accrued liabilities of that Series. All dividends and distributions on Shares of a particular Series shall be distributed pro rata to the Shareholders of that Series in proportion to the number of such Shares held by such holders at the date and time of record established for the payment of such dividends or distributions, except that the dividends and distributions of investment income and capital gains with respect to each Class of Shares of a particular Series shall be in such amount as may be declared from time to time by the Trustees, and such dividends and distributions may vary as between such Classes to reflect differing allocations of the expenses of the Series between the Shareholders of such several Classes and any resultant differences between the net asset value of such several Classes to such extent and for such purposes as the Trustees may deem appropriate and further except that, in connection with any dividend or distribution program or procedure, the Trustees may determine that no dividend or distribution shall be payable on Shares as to which the Shareholder's purchase order and/or payment have not been received by the time or times established by the Trustees under such program or procedure, or that dividends or distributions shall be payable on Shares which have been tendered by the holder thereof for redemption or repurchase, but the redemption or repurchase proceeds of which have not yet been paid to such Shareholder. Such dividends and distributions may be made in cash, property or Shares of any Class of that Series or a combination thereof as determined by the Trustees, or pursuant to any program that the Trustees may have in effect at the time for the election by each Shareholder of the mode of the making of such dividend or distribution to that Shareholder. Any such dividend or distribution paid in Shares will be paid at the net asset value thereof as determined in accordance with subsection (l) of this Section 6.1.

Dividends. Declared, set aside, made or paid any dividend or other distribution to any of its stockholders;
