Dividends or Dividend Equivalents Sample Clauses

Dividends or Dividend Equivalents. As of the date the Company pays any dividend or other distribution (whether in cash or in kind) on shares of Common Stock, you shall be credited with that number of Performance Units equal to the quotient, rounded down to the nearest whole share, determined by dividing (i) the aggregate value of the dividend that would have been payable on the Performance Units immediately prior to such payment date had the shares of Common Stock represented by such Performance Units been outstanding as of such payment date, by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the payment date of the dividend; provided, however, that if the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that there are then shares of Common Stock unavailable for awards under the Plan or a stockholder approved equity compensation plan, as of the dividend or distribution payment date to credit such dividend or distribution in the form of shares of Common Stock, then the Committee, in its sole discretion, may credit a bookkeeping account established by the Company for the Executive on the books and records of the Company with dividend equivalents in the form of cash credits in lieu of shares of Common Stock. You will not have any right to dividends or other distributions declared or paid with respect to unvested and forfeitable Performance Units. All dividends and any other distributions paid with respect to unvested Performance Units will be held by the Company in trust for your benefit and paid to you upon vesting of the Performance Units. Upon forfeiture of any Performance Units, any dividends and distributions then held in trust with respect to such Performance Units will be forfeited and will be returned to the Company. All fractional units shall be rounded down to the nearest whole unit.

Dividends or Dividend Equivalents. As specified in the applicable Exhibit, Share and Performance Unit awards may entitle you to earn Dividends or Dividend Equivalents. “Dividends” are the cash dividends on issued but unvested Shares. Any Dividends or Dividend Equivalent will be in the form of cash, will be subject to the same terms and vesting date as the corresponding Shares or Performance Units (including the attainment of the vesting terms specified in the applicable Exhibit), and will be paid at the same time as payment is made on the corresponding Performance Units. Any Dividend or Dividend Equivalent payment will be included in the Employee’s regular payroll as gross wages, when paid to you. IRS regulations require that Dividends paid by the Company on restricted shares prior to vesting be taxed as ordinary income. Dividend Equivalents will vest at the same time as their corresponding Performance Units and convert into the right to receive payment only to the extent the underlying Performance Units vest and become payable.
Dividends or Dividend Equivalents. The maximum number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan shall not be reduced to reflect any dividends or Dividend Equivalents paid in respect of Awards made under the Plan that are settled or reinvested in Shares or additional Awards.

Related to Dividends or Dividend Equivalents

  • Dividend Equivalents Subject to this Paragraph 6, with respect to dividends for which a record date occurs during the Restriction Period, Participant shall be credited with a Dividend Equivalent with respect to each outstanding Restricted Stock Unit, and with respect to any related Dividend Equivalent Unit (defined below) resulting from prior reinvestments of Dividend Equivalents as provided in this Paragraph. All Dividend Equivalents so credited will be deemed to be reinvested in Restricted Stock Units on the date that the applicable dividend or distribution is made to the Company’s shareholders, based on the Target Award Units and any Dividend Equivalent Units resulting from prior reinvestments of Dividend Equivalents, in the number of Units determined by dividing the aggregate value of the Dividend Equivalents by the Fair Market Value of the Stock on such date (rounded to the nearest thousandth of a whole Unit or as otherwise reasonably determined by the Company); provided, however, that if Dividend Equivalents cannot be reinvested in Units due to the operation of Section 3(a) of the Plan, such Dividend Equivalents will be credited to Participant as a cash value based on the Target Award Units and any Dividend Equivalent Units resulting from prior reinvestments of Dividend Equivalents, which cash value shall be held by the Company (without interest) subject to this Agreement. Any Units resulting from the deemed reinvestment of dividends in accordance with this Paragraph 6 are referred to herein as “Dividend Equivalent Units.” Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the same terms and conditions, and shall vest or be forfeited (as applicable) at the same time, upon the same conditions, and in the same proportion, as the Target Award Units set forth in this Award; provided, however, that if the Award vests after the record date for, but before the payment date of, a dividend, then the Dividend Equivalents related to such dividend and to Units vesting on the vesting date will be paid in cash or in Stock, in the sole discretion of the Company, as soon as practicable following the payment date for such dividend.

  • No Dividend Equivalents No dividend equivalents shall be paid to the Employee with regard to the Stock Units.

  • Dividend Equivalent Rights In the event that the Company declares and pays a dividend in respect of its outstanding shares of Stock and, on the record date for such dividend, you hold Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Agreement that have not been settled, the Company shall create a bookkeeping account that will track, (a) to the extent the dividend paid to stockholders generally was a cash dividend, the cash value you would have been entitled to receive as if you had been the holder of record of the number of shares of Stock related to the Restricted Stock Units that have not been settled as of the record date, or (b) to the extent the dividend paid to stockholders generally was paid in the form of property, the property you would have been entitled to receive as if you had been the holder of record of the number of shares of Stock related to the Restricted Stock Units that have not been settled as of the record date. All DER amounts credited to your bookkeeping account pursuant to this Section 3, if any, shall be deemed converted into shares of Stock on the date that the Restricted Stock Units vest (based on the Fair Market Value (as such term is defined in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement) of Stock on such date and rounded down to the nearest whole share of Stock) and paid to you in the form of additional shares of Stock on the date that the underlying Restricted Stock Units associated with such DER amounts are settled pursuant to Section 5 below. In the event that the Restricted Stock Units are forfeited to the Company without settlement to you, you will also forfeit any associated DER amounts. No interest will be payable with respect to DER amounts credited to your bookkeeping account, if any, that represent cash dividends. Property, if any, deemed credited to DER bookkeeping accounts representing dividends paid in property will be deemed invested in such property until the DER amounts are deemed converted to shares of Stock pursuant to this Section 3. The bookkeeping accounts, if any, created to track DER amounts are phantom accounts and the Company is under no obligation to set aside cash or property with respect to any DER amounts. Valuations made pursuant to this Section 3 (including any valuation of property deemed credited to a bookkeeping account) will be made by the Committee, or its designee, in its sole discretion and such valuation will be final and binding.

  • 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.

  • Dividend Equivalent Payments Until your RSUs convert to Shares, if MSCI pays a dividend on Shares, you will be entitled to a dividend equivalent payment in the same amount as the dividend you would have received if you held Shares for your vested and unvested RSUs immediately prior to the record date. No dividend equivalents will be paid to you with respect to any canceled or forfeited RSUs. MSCI will decide on the form of payment and may pay dividend equivalents in Shares, in cash or in a combination thereof, unless otherwise provided in Exhibit C. MSCI will pay the dividend equivalent when it pays the corresponding dividend on its common stock or on the next regularly scheduled payroll date. The gross amount of any dividend equivalents paid to you with respect to RSUs that do not vest and convert to Shares shall be subject to potential recoupment or payback (such recoupment or payback of dividend equivalents, the “Clawback”) following the cancellation or forfeiture of the underlying RSUs. You consent to the Company’s implementation and enforcement of the Clawback and expressly agree that MSCI may take such actions as are necessary to effectuate the Clawback consistent with applicable law. If, within a reasonable period, you do not tender repayment of the dividend equivalents in response to demand for repayment, MSCI may seek a court order against you or take any other actions as are necessary to effectuate the Clawback.

  • Dividends or Distributions (a) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of shares of any other class of capital shares not by its terms ranking on a parity with, or junior to, the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares with respect to dividends, the holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of the assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, quarterly dividends payable in cash in an amount per whole share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares equal to the greater of (1) 10% of the Purchase Price (the "Purchase Price"), as adjusted, per unit of one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares set forth in the Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement") between the Corporation and Chemical Bank, N.A., as Rights Agent, dated as of October 27, 1995 (so that if the Purchase Price, as adjusted, were $100.00, the quarterly dividend amount per whole share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares would be $10.00), and (2) dividends payable in cash on the payment date for each cash dividend (if any) declared on the Common Shares in an amount per whole share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the Formula Number then in effect times the cash dividends then to be paid on each outstanding Common Share, payable on the date declared by the Board of Directors for the payment of quarterly dividends on the outstanding Common Shares, par value $.20 per share, of the Corporation (the "Common Shares") but in no event later than the fifteenth day of March, June, September and December in each year (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 Junior Participating Preferred Shares, 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 Junior Participating Preferred Shares. In addition, if the Corporation shall pay any dividend or make any distribution on the Common Shares payable in assets, securities or other forms of noncash consideration (other than dividends or distributions solely in shares of Common Shares), then, in each such case, the Corporation shall simultaneously pay or make on each outstanding share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares a dividend or distribution in like kind, of the Formula Number then in effect times such dividend or distribution on each share of Common Shares. As used herein, the "Formula Number" shall be 100; provided, however, that if at any time after October 27, 1995, the Corporation shall (i) declare or pay any dividend on the Common Shares payable in shares of Common Shares or make any distribution on the Common Shares in shares of Common Shares, (ii) subdivide (by a shares split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Shares into a larger number of shares of Common Shares or (iii) combine (by a reverse shares split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Shares into a smaller number of shares of Common Shares, 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 Shares that are outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares 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 October 27, 1995, the Corporation shall issue any shares of its capital shares in a reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Shares (including any such reclassification or change in connection with a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation), then in such event the Formula Number shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such reclassification or change.

  • 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.

The Trustee shall issue Voting Trust Certificates in respect of these shares to the Stockholders of record at the close of business on the record date determined pursuant to the provisions of Section 4(d).
