Stockholder Rights; Dividend Equivalents. The Performance Units do not confer on you any rights of a stockholder of the Company unless and until shares of Common Stock are in fact issued to you in connection with the vested Performance Units. However, cash dividends or other cash distributions, if any, shall be paid with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock that ultimately vest under this Agreement as if such shares of Common Stock had been outstanding during the entire period from the Grant Date to the Vesting Date. Any such cash dividends or other cash distributions shall vest and be paid in cash if and at such times the underlying Performance Units vested.
Dividends. Performance Stock Units shall be entitled to be credited with dividend equivalent payments (upon the payment by the Company of dividends on shares of Common Stock), which shall accrue in cash without interest and shall be delivered in cash. Accumulated dividend equivalents shall be payable at such time the Performance Stock Units vest as set forth in the Grant Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, dividends accrued in respect of Performance Stock Units shall only be paid to the extent the underlying Performance Stock Unit becomes a vested Performance Stock Unit, and the extent any Performance Stock Units are forfeited and not vested, the Participant shall have no right to such dividend equivalent payments.
Rights as a Stockholder. If any earned Performance Units/Shares are to be paid in Shares, then until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to such Shares, notwithstanding the vesting of the Performance Units/Shares. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 16 of the Plan.
Performance Units to which they relate. Dividend Equivalents shall be credited on the Performance Units when dividends are declared on shares of Company Stock from the Date of Grant until the payment date for the vested Performance Units. The Company will keep records of Dividend Equivalents in a non-interest bearing bookkeeping account for the Grantee. No interest will be credited to any such account. Vested Dividend Equivalents shall be paid in cash at the same time and subject to the same terms as the underlying vested Performance Units. If and to the extent that the underlying Performance Units are forfeited, all related Dividend Equivalents shall also be forfeited.
Dividend, Voting and Other Rights. Grantee shall have no rights of a stockholder with respect to the Performance Units prior to the date on which shares of Common Stock are issued in settlement thereof, including the right to vote any of the Performance Units. An amount representing dividends payable on shares of Common Stock with respect to the award of Performance Units on a dividend record date shall be deemed reinvested in Common Stock and credited to Grantee as restricted stock units (rounded to the nearest whole share) as of the dividend payment date. The Performance Units are subject to adjustment to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Grantee that would otherwise result from changes in the capital structure of the Company or from certain corporate transactions or events as provided in Section 11 of the Plan. Any restricted stock units or additional Performance Units credited to Grantee pursuant to this Section 5, including by reason of any adjustments under Section 11 of the Plan, will be subject to the terms and restrictions (including vesting) set forth in these Terms and Conditions.
Voting Rights and Dividend Equivalents. The Participant shall not have any voting rights with respect to the Performance Share Units. The Participant shall be credited with dividend equivalents (“Dividend Equivalents”) with respect to each outstanding Performance Share Unit to the extent that any dividends or other distributions (in cash or other property) are declared and/or paid with respect to the shares of Common Stock after the commencement of the Performance Period (other than distributions pursuant to a share split, for which an adjustment shall be made as described in [Section 12.1] of the Plan). Dividend Equivalents shall be credited to the bookkeeping account established on the records of the Company for the Participant and will vest subject to the same conditions as are applicable to the underlying Performance Share Units, and Dividend Equivalents will be paid in cash to the Participant reasonably promptly following such vesting (but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such vesting occurs). Accordingly, Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited to the extent that the Performance Share Units do not vest and are forfeited or cancelled. No interest shall be credited on Dividend Equivalents.
Dividend, Voting and Other Rights. Grantee shall have no rights of a stockholder with respect to the Performance Units prior to the date on which shares of Common Stock are issued in settlement thereof, including the right to vote any of the Performance Units. An amount representing dividends payable on shares of Common Stock with respect to the award of Performance Units on a dividend record date shall be deemed reinvested in Common Stock and credited to Grantee as restricted stock units (rounded to the nearest whole share) as of the dividend payment date. The Performance Units are subject to adjustment to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Grantee that would otherwise result from changes in the capital structure of the Company or from certain corporate transactions or events as provided in Section 11 of the Plan. Any restricted stock units or additional Performance Units credited to Grantee pursuant to this Section 5, including by reason of any adjustments under Section 11 of
Dividends. Until the Grantee is a holder of Distributed Shares hereunder, the Company shall credit Grantee with cash dividend equivalents with respect to the Performance Stock Units when the Company pays dividends to its stockholders on shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms set forth in the Plan. Such dividend equivalents shall accumulate and be paid (in cash, without interest) to the Grantee when (and only if) the Performance Stock Units to which they relate vest and are settled in accordance with this Agreement. Dividend equivalents and any amounts that may become distributable in respect thereof shall be treated separately from the Performance Stock Units and the rights arising in connection therewith for purposes of the designation of time and form of payments required by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
Dividend Equivalents. If the Company declares and pays an ordinary cash dividend in respect of its outstanding shares of Stock and, on the record date for such dividend, Employee holds either # unvested Performance Units under this Award or # vested Performance Units under this Award which have not been settled in accordance with this Agreement, then a dividend equivalent equal to the per share amount of such dividend shall be credited on each of such Performance Units underlying this Award and outstanding on the record date for such dividend. Such dividend equivalents credited on Performance Units shall be paid in cash without interest on the settlement date of such Performance Units in accordance with the timing and other provisions described in Sections 5 and 6 hereof. Any such dividend equivalents shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Performance Units on which the dividend equivalents were credited. Dividends and distributions payable on Stock other than in cash will be addressed in accordance with Section 10 hereof.
No Rights as Stockholder; Dividend Equivalents. Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Performance Units; provided that, # Participant shall have cash dividend equivalent rights with respect to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of outstanding Performance Units then held by Participant (the “Underlying Shares”), with any cash dividends attributable thereto paid to Participant at the time cash dividends are paid to Approach’s stockholders generally, but in any event no later than the 15th day of the third month of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the dividend is declared by Approach; and # if and to the extent Approach shall effect a stock split, stock dividend or similar distribution with respect to the Common Stock, the number of Performance Units subject to this Award shall be increased or decreased by a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that would be distributed in connection with such stock split, stock dividend or similar distribution with respect to the Underlying Shares if they were actual shares of Common Stock.
