Deferral of Retainers. Non-Employee Directors may elect to defer payment of all or a portion of the annual retainers described in Section 2(a) and the exceptional meeting fees described in Section 2(d) into specified investment funds and/or into vested restricted share units for shares of the Company's common stock, which deferral will be made pursuant to the terms of the Company's Amended and Restated Deferred Fee Plan for Directors or its successor plan (the "Deferred Fee Plan"). Unless otherwise determined by the Board, any restricted share units will be granted under the 2013 Howmet Aerospace Stock Incentive Plan or its successor plan (the "Equity Plan"), on the date on which such retainer(s) would otherwise have been paid in cash. The extent to which a Non-Employee Director may defer annual retainer payments into vested restricted share units will therefore be subject to any limit on awards granted to a Non-Employee Director set forth in the Equity Plan.
Deferral of Retainers. A Participant’s election to defer a Retainer is subject to the following requirements:
Deferral of Retainers into Stock Units. Each Non-Employee Director may elect to defer all (100%) or fifty percent (50%) of the Director's Annual Retainer earned during the relevant calendar year into Stock Units. The number of Stock Units acquired shall equal the portion of the Annual Retainer being deferred into Stock Units in a calendar month, divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the last Trading Day in such calendar month, and such Stock Units shall be credited to the Non-Employee Director’s account effective the day the number of Stock Units is determined. Amounts are deferred at the time they otherwise would have been paid were it not for the relevant deferral election.
Annual Retainers. Each Non-Employee Director shall receive an annual retainer of $75,000 for service on the Board. Each Non-Employee Director shall also receive $5,000 annually in addition to the annual retainer for serving as a Board Chair for one of the three (3) established Board Committees: Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
Payment of Retainers. The retainers described in Sections I(A) and (B) shall be earned on a quarterly basis based on a calendar quarter and shall be paid in cash by the Company in arrears not later than the fifteenth day following the end of each calendar quarter. In the event a Non-Employee Director does not serve as a Non-Employee Director, or in the applicable positions described in Section I(B), for an entire calendar quarter, the retainer paid to such Non-Employee Director shall be prorated for the portion of such calendar quarter actually served as a Non-Employee Director, or in such position, as applicable.
Additional Annual Retainers. In addition, a Non-Employee Director shall receive the following annual retainers:
each Participant in the Plan as of November 19, 2004 who has not irrevocably elected the timing of the payout of his or her Cash Deferral Account shall make such an election by December 31, 2004 with respect to all amounts from deferrals into such Participant’s Cash Deferral Account of Annual Retainers or fees earned after December 31, 2004 (the “Post 2004 CDA Deferrals”).
Deferral Accounts; Deferral Incentive. An Eligible Employees Deferral Amount shall be converted to a number of common stock units determined by dividing the Deferral Amount by the closing price at which shares of the Companys common stock are sold regular way on the New York Stock Exchange on the first trading day immediately preceding the date the Deferral Amount would otherwise be paid to the Eligible Employee. Such common stock units shall be credited to a Deferral Account established and maintained on the books and records of the Company. In the event an Eligible Employee defers a Performance Award under the Plan, the Company shall credit a Deferral Incentive in the form of additional common stock units to the Eligible Employees Deferral Account. The number of common stock units comprising the Deferral Incentive for an Eligible Employee shall be determined by multiplying twenty-five percent (25%) by the number of common stock units resulting from the conversion of the Eligible Employees Deferral Amount into common stock units.
Non-Employee Director Deferrals. This Section 13.2 governs Non-Employee Director deferrals of annual retainers earned and vested as of December 31, 2004. In order to comply with Section 409A of the Code, annual retainers for 2005 and later shall be subject to deferral only in accordance with the Arrow Electronics, Inc. Non-Employee Directors Deferred Stock Unit Plan or Arrow Electronics, Inc. Non-Employee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan (which also permits elective deferrals of Board and Board committee meeting fees).
“Director Cash Compensation” means the total annual retainer, committee chairperson and committee member retainers, retainer for serving as chairperson of the Board and any other fees (but not reimbursement of expenses that would be payable to a Director in cash during a Plan Year absent a deferral election pursuant to [Section 4.1].
