Dividend Equivalents. Pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and in the Plan, the Company hereby awards to the Grantee a right to receive in respect of each RSU held by the Grantee on a dividend record date occurring after the Grant Date and prior to the Vest Date, the equivalent value of any ordinary cash dividends that are paid on a share of Common Stock (“Dividend Equivalent”). Dividend Equivalents will be reinvested in the form of additional RSUs determined by dividing the value of the Dividend Equivalent by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Company’s dividend payment date. Dividend Equivalents will also accrue on the additional RSUs issued from Dividend Equivalents (and be reinvested into additional Dividend Equivalents). Dividend Equivalents are subject to the same conditions as the RSUs to which they are attributable, including but not limited to vesting, transferability, forfeiture, time and form of settlement as further described in this Agreement and the Plan.
Dividend Equivalents. 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, the Participant holds DSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement that have vested but not yet been settled, the Company shall record the amount of such dividend in a bookkeeping account and pay to the Participant an amount in cash equal to the cash dividends the Participant would have received if the Participant was the holder of record, as of such record date, of a number of shares of Stock
Dividend Equivalents. Promptly after each date on which the RSUs vest, the Company will pay to the Eligible Director an amount in cash (subject to any applicable taxes or charges) equal to the sum of the regular quarterly per share cash dividends, if any, paid by the Company to holders of record on or after the Grant Date (the “Dividend Equivalent”) multiplied by the number of RSUs then vesting in Shares. If, prior to the final vesting date of an Award hereunder (the “Final Vesting Date”), there is a record date for the Company’s regularly quarterly cash dividend that will be payable after the Final Vesting Date, then as soon as practicable after the later of the date the RSUs are settled in Shares or the date the declared dividend is paid to shareholders generally, the Company shall pay the Eligible Director the Dividend Equivalent on the RSUs that were held by such Eligible Director on such record date, calculated as provided above. Except for the payment of Dividend Equivalents, an Eligible Director shall have no right to receive any payment on account of any dividend or other distribution on the underlying Shares.
In the event of any dividend payable in cash with respect to the Company’s outstanding Shares, the Company will credit to the Director’s Account, as of the dividend payment date, a number of additional Units (the “Dividend Units”). The number of Dividend Units so credited as of any dividend payment date will be equal to # the total cash dividends the Director would have received on that dividend payment date if the Director’s outstanding Units as of the record date for such dividend payment (including any previously credited Dividend Units) had been actual Shares, divided by # the Fair Market Value of a Share on the dividend payment date (with the quotient rounded to three decimal places). Once credited to the Director’s Account, Dividend Units will be considered Units for all purposes of this Agreement.
Dividend Equivalents. The Committee is authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents to any Eligible Person entitling the Eligible Person to receive cash, Shares, other Awards, or other property equal in value to the dividends paid with respect to a specified number of Shares, or other periodic payments, in connection with another Award, other than Option or Stock Appreciation Right Awards. The Committee may provide that Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or distributed when accrued or shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares, Awards, or other investment vehicles, and subject to such restrictions on transferability and risks of forfeiture, as the Committee may specify. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dividend Equivalents credited in connection with an Award that vests based on the achievement of performance goals shall be subject to restrictions and risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Award with respect to which such Dividend Equivalents have been credited.
Dividend Equivalents. During the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date the applicable Restricted Share Rights vest and are distributed, or are forfeited, whichever occurs first, if the Company pays a dividend on the Common Stock, you will automatically receive, as of the payment date for such dividend, dividend equivalents in the form of additional Restricted Share Rights based on the amount or number of shares that would have been paid on the Restricted Share Rights had they been issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the record date and, if a cash dividend, the closing price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange as of the dividend payment date. You will also automatically receive dividend equivalents with respect to such additional Restricted Share Rights, to be granted in the same manner. Restricted Share Rights granted with respect to dividend equivalents will be subject to the same vesting schedule and other terms and conditions as the underlying Restricted Share Rights, including the Company’s right of recoupment or forfeiture, and will be distributed in shares of Common Stock when, and if, the underlying Restricted Share Rights are settled and distributed.
The Company will pay the Grantee cash with respect to each outstanding RSU granted to the Grantee corresponding in amount and timing to the cash dividend that is paid by the Company on a Common Share of the Company.
Dividend Equivalents. The Award agreement for Restricted Stock Units may provide Participants with the right to receive an amount equal to any dividends or other distributions declared and paid on an equal number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (“Dividend Equivalents”). Dividend Equivalents may be settled in cash and/or shares of Common Stock and shall be subject to the same restrictions on transfer and forfeitability as the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which paid, in each case to the extent provided in the Award agreement.
Dividend Equivalents. If the Company pays regular cash dividends on Class B Common Stock, Dividend Equivalents shall accrue on the PSUs until the PSUs are settled. The Company will credit such Dividend Equivalents when it pays the corresponding dividend on the Class B Common Stock. Accrued Dividend Equivalents will be subject to the same earning and forfeiture conditions as the underlying PSUs on which the Dividend Equivalents were accrued. Accrued Dividend Equivalents that have been credited to the Participant’s account shall be paid in cash (reduced by amounts necessary to satisfy the Tax Related Items) through payroll in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date the PSUs on which the Dividend Equivalents accrued are settled; provided, however, if PSUs are scheduled to be settled between a dividend record date and a dividend payment date, the Dividend Equivalents payable with respect to the PSUs on account of such dividend will be paid in a lump sum based on the dividend payment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Dividend Equivalents be paid later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the PSUs are earned.
Dividend Equivalents. Participant’s Unit Account referred to in Section 2 shall be credited with additional Units equivalent to the value of any dividends declared and paid on Common Stock (“Dividend Equivalents”) determined as if the Units credited to the Participant’s Unit Account were an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, with the number of additional Units to be credited determined by the number of whole shares, and a fraction thereof, of Common Stock having a value on the date such dividend is declared equal to such dividend amount.
