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 a. The holders of record on the Series B Dividend Record Date (as defined below) of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends, as and when declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. Record holders of Series B Preferred Stock on a Series B Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to one dividend-in-kind payable each year in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum, resulting in the holder of each share of Series B Preferred receiving a dividend of 0.06 additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock with respect to each share of Series B Preferred Stock. Each such dividend shall be payable on or about each January 15 (a "Series B Dividend-in-Kind Payment Date") (or if such date is not a business day, the dividends due on such Series B Dividend-in-Kind Payment Date shall be paid on the next succeeding business day) beginning on January 15, 2001. Such dividends shall be cumulative and shall accrue on each share of Series B Preferred Stock from the date of such share's issuance; provided, however, that dividends shall cease to accrue on a share of Series B Preferred Stock following such share's redemption or conversion, as the case may be. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock shall be payable to holders of record as they appear on the stock register of the Corporation on such record date, not less than 15 nor more than 60 days preceding a dividend payment date (including a Series B Dividend-in-Kind Payment Date), as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors (a "Series B Dividend Record Date"). Except in the case of a redemption under Section 4 or mandatory conversion under Section 6(c), below (in which case dividends shall accrue and be paid through the date of such event), no dividends shall be payable on the Series B Preferred Stock for any partial dividend period. b. Subject to any rights of Senior Securities, no dividends or other distributions shall be made with respect to the Common Stock unless at the same time a dividend or distribution is paid with respect to all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock in an amount equal to the amount paid with respect to a share of Common Stock as though the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation into which their respective shares of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determina...

The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the de...
