Dividend Equivalent definition
Examples of Dividend Equivalent in a sentence
For purposes of this provision, “Returnable Share Value” means a cash amount equal to the gross value of the Shares that were issued to you pursuant to this Agreement, determined as of the date such Shares were issued to you and using the Fair Market Value of the Company’s Class C Common Stock on that date, and the accrued cash value (if any) of the related Dividend Equivalent Rights paid to you.
If your Employment terminates for any reason other than your death or Disability, any Units that have not vested (and the related Dividend Equivalent Rights) as described above will expire at that time.
You will have no further rights with regard to Units once the Shares related to such Units have been issued and any related Dividend Equivalent Right payments have been made.
You understand and agree that the Units and Dividend Equivalent Rights are designed to align your long-term interests with those of the Company and that having your interests aligned with the Company is a condition of retaining any Units, Shares delivered to you in respect of Units, or the cash value associated with such Units or Shares and with the Dividend Equivalent Rights.
If your Employment is terminated by reason of your death or Disability, unless otherwise set forth in the Performance Goals Appendix, all outstanding Units will vest immediately and automatically upon such termination of Employment and the Shares and the accrued cash value (if any) of the related Dividend Equivalent Rights will be distributed to you/your heir(s) as soon as administratively practicable and in all events within 60 days of such termination of Employment.
