Deferral of Retainers contract clause examples

Payment of Retainers. The annual retainers described in Sections 1(a) and 1(b) shall be earned on a quarterly basis based on a calendar quarter and shall be paid 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 1(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, each Non-Employee Director shall receive the following annual retainers:

Deferral Credit. A “Deferral Credit” is the amount credited to a Participant’s Account pursuant to Section 2.6.

Deferral Elections. A Director who satisfies the eligibility requirements of Section 2 may, at the time and in the manner provided hereunder, elect to defer the receipt of his or her Retainer.

Deferral Period. If the Participant elects on the Deferral Election to have the shares underlying the Restricted Stock Unit award and/or Performance Stock Unit award deferred for a specified period, the shares shall be distributed, or commence to be distributed, within 30 days of the end of specified period as elected by the Participant. For example, if a Participant elects to have the shares underlying the 2022 grant of Restricted Stock Units which vest on December 31, 2024 deferred for 3 years, the shares shall be distributed within 30 days following December 31, 2027. If the Participant incurs a Termination of Employment prior to the end of the elected deferral period, the shares underlying the Restricted Stock Unit award and/or Performance Stock Unit award shall be distributed, or commence to be distributed, within 30 days following the end of the elected deferral period (the Termination of Employment is not a distribution event under this Section 4.1).

Deferral Election. Each Participant may make an irrevocable election to defer distribution of Restricted Stock Unit Shares payable in respect of an Award until the Participant’s Separation from Service, in accordance with this Agreement and procedures established by the Corporate Secretary. To make a deferral election, a Participant must file an irrevocable deferral form with the Corporation before the beginning of the year in which such Award would be granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, in accordance with [Section 3] of the Plan, an individual is to be elected by the Board to be a non-employee director of the Corporation after the Committee has made an Award to non-employee directors for that calendar year, then that individual must make the deferral election prior to that individual’s election as a director in order to defer distribution of the initial grant of Restricted Stock Unit Shares. The deferral election must specify whether the Participant is to receive the Restricted Stock Unit Shares upon the Participant’s Separation From Service in either a single distribution or in ten annual installments.

Deferral Elections. A Director may elect to defer payment of all or a specified portion of any Eligible Compensation by filing a written election with the Company on a form prescribed by the Company as follows (such an election, a “Deferral Election”):

I hereby irrevocably elect to receive the cash and shares of Stock issuable pursuant to any RSUs (and any associated Dividend Equivalents) granted to me in ​ and any future calendar years, until such time as a new signed Deferral Election Form is received by
