Continuation of Dividend Equivalents contract clause examples

Dividend-Equivalents. At the time of issuance of shares underlying vested RSUs pursuant to [subsection 2(b)] above, the Corporation shall also pay to Grantee an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all dividends declared and paid by the Corporation based on dividend record dates falling between the Date of Grant and the date of issuance in accordance with the number of shares issued. The computation set forth in this subparagraph is separate and distinct from the calculations and concepts set forth on Exhibit “A” hereto and the calculations and concepts set forth on Exhibit “A” hereto have no applicability to the calculation of the amount of dividends to be paid by the Corporation pursuant to this subparagraph.

Payment of Dividend Equivalents. With respect to each of the RSUs covered by this Agreement, Grantee shall be credited on the records of the Company with dividend equivalents in an amount equal to the amount per Common Share of any cash dividends declared by the Board on the outstanding Common Shares during the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending either on the date on which Grantee receives payment for the RSUs pursuant to Section 6 hereof or at the time when the RSUs are forfeited in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement. These dividend equivalents will accumulate without interest and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, will be paid at the same time, to the same extent and in the same manner, in cash or Common Shares (as determined by the Committee) as the RSUs for which the dividend equivalents were credited.

Dividend Equivalents. Each RSU granted hereunder is hereby granted in tandem with a corresponding Dividend Equivalent, which Dividend Equivalent shall remain outstanding from the Grant Date until the earlier of the payment or forfeiture of the RSU to which it corresponds (such earlier date, the “Dividend Equivalent Forfeiture Date”). Pursuant to each outstanding Dividend Equivalent, the Participant shall be entitled to receive payments equal to dividends paid, if any, on the Shares underlying the RSU to which such Dividend Equivalent relates during the period beginning on the Grant Date set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and ending on the applicable Dividend Equivalent Forfeiture Date. Dividend Equivalents shall not entitle the Participant to any payments relating to dividends for which the record date occurs after the settlement of the RSU underlying such Dividend Equivalent or, if applicable, the forfeiture of such RSU. Dividend Equivalents and any amounts that may become distributable in respect thereof shall be treated separately from the RSUs and the rights arising in connection therewith for purposes of the designation of time and form of payments required by Section 409A of the Code.

Dividend Equivalents. An amount in cash equal to the amount of dividends and other distributions that are payable (other than dividends or distributions for which the record date is prior to the date hereof) during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the date on which no RSUs shall remain outstanding (due to issuance of shares of Common Stock (or cash) in satisfaction of RSUs pursuant to paragraphs 2 and 3) on a like number of shares of Common Stock as are equal to the number of RSUs then outstanding shall be credited to a bookkeeping account for Grantee (the “Dividend Equivalents”). Such bookkeeping account shall be credited quarterly (beginning on the last day of the calendar quarter in which the first credit to the account was made) with an amount of interest on the balance (including interest previously credited) at an annual rate equal to the then current yield obtainable on United States government bonds having a maturity date of approximately five years.

Dividend Equivalents. In the event that the Company declares and pays a dividend in respect of its outstanding Shares on or after the Date of Grant and, on the record date for such dividend, you hold RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement that have not been settled, the Company shall pay to you an amount in cash equal to the cash dividends you would have received if you were the holder of record as of such record date, of the number of Shares related to the portion of your RSUs that have not been settled as of such record date, such payment (“Dividend Equivalents”) to be made on or promptly following the date that the Company pays such dividend (however, in no event shall the Dividend Equivalents be paid later than 30 days following the date on which the Company pays such dividend to its shareholders generally).

On each date that a cash dividend is paid to holders of Shares from the Grant Date through the date immediately prior to the date the RSUs are settled, an amount (the “Dividend Equivalent Amount”) equal to the cash dividend that is paid on each Share, multiplied by the total number of RSUs and any Dividend Equivalent Units (as defined below) that remain unvested and outstanding as of the dividend payment record date, will be credited to the Colleague, and such credited amount will be converted into an additional number of RSUs (“Dividend Equivalent Units”) determined by dividing the Dividend Equivalent Amount by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of the dividend payment. Dividend Equivalent Units will be subject to the same conditions as the underlying RSUs with respect to which Dividend Equivalent Units were paid, including without limitation, the provisions governing time and form of settlement applicable to the underlying RSUs. Unless expressly provided otherwise, as used elsewhere in this Agreement, references to RSUs in this Agreement shall also include Dividend Equivalent Units that have been credited to the Colleague pursuant to this Section 2.6.

Dividend Equivalents. If on any date prior to issuance of the shares of Stock subject to the Performance RSUs, the Company shall pay any dividend on the Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Stock), the number of Performance RSUs credited to Grantee’s Account shall as of such date be increased by an amount equal to: # the product of the number of Performance RSUs credited to the Grantee’s Account as of the record date for such dividend, multiplied by the per share amount of any dividend (or, in the case of any dividend payable in property other than cash, the per share value of such dividend, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company), divided by # the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the payment date of such dividend.
