Adjustment of Award contract clause examples

ADJUSTMENT IN SHARES. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Company's receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the number and/or class of securities subject to this award in order to reflect such change and thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of benefits hereunder.

Section # Adjustment of Shares. As provided by the Plan, in the event of any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, stock dividend, combination or exchange of shares, exchange for other securities, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, or any other increase or decrease in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock effected without consideration to the Company, the specified number of Shares shall be proportionately adjusted to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, the Director hereunder.

Adjustments. If the number of outstanding shares of Stock is increased or decreased or the shares of Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number of shares or kind of capital stock or other securities of the Company on account of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, combination of stock, exchange of stock, stock dividend or other distribution payable in capital stock, or other increase or decrease in shares of Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, then the number of Awarded Shares shall be adjusted proportionately. No adjustment shall be made in connection with the payment by the Company of any ordinary cash dividend on its Stock or in connection with the issuance by the Company of any warrants, rights, or options to acquire additional shares of Stock or of securities convertible into Stock.

If there is any change to the common stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding common stock as a class without the Corporation's receipt of consideration, then appropriate adjustments shall be made to # the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan, and # the number and/or class of outstanding securities in effect under the Plan in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits thereunder.

Adjustments. In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock, without the receipt of consideration by the Company, by reason of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or distribution (other than a regular dividend), recapitalization, merger, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change in corporate structure affecting the Common Stock and not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company, the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments in # the aggregate number of and kind of shares of Common Stock # available for issuance under the Plan, # for which grants or Awards may be made to any Participant or to any group of Participants (e.g., Outside Directors), # which are available for issuance under Incentive Stock Options, # covered by outstanding unexercised Awards and grants denominated in shares or units of Common Stock, and # underlying Stock Options granted pursuant to [Section 6.7], # the Code Section 162(m) limitations; # the exercise or other applicable price related to outstanding Awards or grants and # the appropriate Fair Market Value and other price determinations relevant to outstanding Awards or grants and shall make such other adjustments as may be appropriate under the circumstances; provided, that the number of shares subject to any Award or grant always shall be a whole number.

Adjustments. In the event that any extraordinary dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, reclassification, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs (other than any ordinary dividends or other ordinary distributions), the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, will adjust the number and class of shares of stock that may be delivered under the Plan and/or the number, class, and price of shares of stock covered by each outstanding Award, and numerical Share limits in Section 3.

Adjustments in Event of Change in Common Stock. In the event of any change in the Stock by reason of any stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares, or rights offering to purchase Stock at a price substantially below fair market value, or of any similar change affecting the Stock, the number and kind of shares which thereafter may be available for issuance under the Plan and the terms of outstanding Awards shall be appropriately adjusted consistent with such change in such manner as the Committee may deem equitable to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, Participants in the Plan. If the adjustment would result in fractional shares with respect to an Award, then the Committee may make such further adjustment (including, without limitation, the use of consideration other than Stock or rounding to the nearest whole number of shares) as the Committee shall deem appropriate to avoid the issuance of fractional shares.

Adjustment. In the event of any equity restructuring, whether a stock dividend, recapitalization, split-up or combination of shares, or otherwise, affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment is required in order to preserve the benefits intended to be provided by the Plan, the Committee (subject in the case of Incentive Stock Options to any limitation required under the Code) shall equitably adjust any or all of # the number and kind of shares in respect of which Awards may be made under the Plan, # the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards and # the exercise price with respect to any of the foregoing, provided that the number of shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number.
