Dividend Equivalent Rights. The Administrator may grant Dividend Equivalent Rights under the Plan. A Dividend Equivalent Right is an Award entitling the grantee to receive credits based on cash dividends that would have been paid on the shares of Stock specified in the Dividend Equivalent Right (or other Award to which it relates) if such shares had been issued to the grantee. A Dividend Equivalent Right may be granted hereunder to any grantee as a component of an Award, including a Restricted Stock Unit Award, or as a freestanding award. The terms and conditions of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be specified in the applicable Award Certificate. Unless provided by the Administrator, dividend equivalents credited to the holder of a Dividend Equivalent Right may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional shares of Stock, which may thereafter accrue additional equivalents. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Certificate or by the Administrator, any such reinvestment shall be at Fair Market Value on the date of reinvestment or such other price as may then apply under a dividend reinvestment plan sponsored by the Company, if any. Dividend Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or shares of Stock or a combination thereof, in a single installment or installments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, a Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of an Award under this Plan shall provide that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall be settled only upon settlement or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other Award, and that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such other Award.
Dividend Equivalent Rights. Each restricted stock unit under this Article Five shall include a dividend equivalent right pursuant to which a book account shall be established for the non-employee Board member and credited from time to time with each dividend or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than shares of Common Stock) which is made per issued and outstanding share of Common Stock during the period the share of Common Stock underlying that restricted stock unit remains unissued. The amount credited to the book account with respect to such restricted stock unit shall be paid to the non-employee Board member concurrently with the issuance of the share of Common Stock underlying that unit, subject to the Corporation’s collection of any applicable withholding taxes.
Subject to share availability under the Plan, any cash dividend paid with respect to the Common Stock for which the record date occurs on or after the Grant Date and the payment date occurs on or before the Date of Vesting will result in a credit to your Account of additional RSUs equal to # the dollar amount of the dividend per share of Common Stock multiplied by the number of RSUs credited to your Account as of the applicable record date, divided by # the closing price per share of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the applicable dividend payment date. The additional RSUs credited pursuant to this Section 9 will be subject to the same vesting schedule, forfeiture and other terms that apply to the original RSUs. RSUs that, at the relevant dividend payment date, previously have been settled or forfeited will not be eligible to receive dividend equivalents pursuant to this Section 9.
Dividend Equivalent. If declares and pays a dividend in respect of its Stock and, on the record date for such dividend, you hold Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Agreement, shall grant you an unvested right to receive an amount (the “Dividend Equivalent”) 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 Restricted Stock Units that you hold as of such record date. Your Dividend Equivalent will vest if, when and to the extent that the related Restricted Stock Units vest and will be paid to you within the Settlement Period (as defined below). No interest will be paid with respect to Dividend Equivalents. If any portion of the Restricted Stock Units are forfeited, your Dividend Equivalent shall also be forfeited in the same proportion.
Dividend Equivalent Payments. The Corporation will make to a Participant who holds Restricted Stock Units on the declared record date a cash payment on the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the Restricted Stock Units held by Participant on such record date. The dividend equivalent payment will be payable on the tenth (10th) day of March, June, September, and December. Each dividend equivalent will be equal to the regular quarterly dividend declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and paid on Common Stock and will be paid in accordance with the Corporation’s normal dividend payment practice as may be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.
Dividend Equivalent means a right, granted under this Plan, to receive the cash equivalent of all of the dividends declared and paid with respect to one share of the Companys Stock during the Vesting Period that applies to an Award. The Dividend Equivalent amount shall be calculated based upon the dividend rate in effect on the last day of the Vesting Period that applies to an award of Units. Dividend Equivalents shall not be deemed reinvested in the Companys Stock, and shall be paid to the Participants on the appropriate Settlement Date.
Amendment to Prior Agreement. The Company and the Participant acknowledge and agree that the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement dated as of February 1, 2014 by and between them (the “2014 Agreement”) shall be deemed to be amended as of such date to provide for, notwithstanding any contrary provision therein, dividend equivalent rights with respect to the restricted stock units awarded pursuant to the 2014 Agreement, in a manner consistent with the Plan and with Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of this Agreement. Such dividend equivalent rights shall only be credited to Participant in the event the performance goals as set forth on [Exhibit 2] to the 2014 Agreement are met. Such dividend equivalent rights shall be subject to forfeiture consistent with Section 4 of this Agreement and shall be paid upon vesting of the restricted stock units awarded pursuant to the 2014 Agreement in a form and at a time consistent with Section 5 of this Agreement. Except as expressly amended hereby, the terms of the 2014 Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
Rights of Holder and Delivery of Vested Units. During the restricted period, Holder is also entitled to a Dividend Equivalent whenever the Company pays a Dividend on the shares of Stock underlying the Award RSUs, in each case in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of the Plan and this Award. The amount of the Dividend Equivalent shall be cash equal to the product of # the per-share amount of the Dividend paid and # the number of Award RSUs held on the record date related to the Dividend being paid on the underlying Stock represented by such Award RSU. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Company will retain custody of all Dividend Equivalents (which are subject to the same restrictions, terms, and conditions as the related Award RSUs) until the conclusion of the restricted period. If any Award RSUs are forfeited, any such related Dividend Equivalents also shall be forfeited.
“Dividend Equivalent” has the meaning set forth in Article 14.
any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the payment of dividend equivalent rights to option holders pursuant to any management equity plan, stock option plan or any other management or employee benefit plan or agreement or post-employment benefit plan or agreement;
Each Participant's Unit Account shall be credited with additional Units equal to the "dividend equivalent" when a cash dividend is paid on Common Shares. Such "dividend equivalent" shall be equal to a fraction where the numerator is the product of # the number of Units in such Participant's Unit Account on the date that dividends are paid multiplied by # the dividend paid per Common Share and the denominator of which is the Market Price of one Common Share calculated on the date that dividends are paid, and additional Units equal to such "dividend equivalent" shall be credited to the Participant's Unit Account. Any additional Units credited to a Participant's Unit Account as a "dividend equivalent" shall have a Payment Date or Vesting Date, as applicable, which is the same as the Payment Date or Vesting Date, as applicable, for the Units in respect of which such additional Units are credited.
“Award” or “Awards,” means an award under the Plan and, except where referring to a particular category of grant under the Plan, shall include Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Unit Awards, Unrestricted Stock Awards, Dividend Equivalent Rights and other equity-based awards as contemplated herein.
“Dividend Equivalents” shall mean amounts equivalent to the dividends paid on Shares.
Dividend Equivalents. To the extent provided in an Award Agreement, and subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, an award of RSUs may provide the Grantee with the right to receive dividend equivalent payments with respect to common stock subject to such award, which payments may be settled in cash or common stock, as determined by the Committee. Any such settlements and any crediting of dividend equivalents may, at the time of grant of the RSU, be made subject to the transfer restrictions, forfeiture risks, vesting and conditions of the RSUs and subject to such other conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall establish at the time of grant of the RSU, including the reinvestment of such credited amounts in common stock equivalents, provided that all such conditions, restrictions and contingencies shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
Dividend Equivalents. If the Company pays cash dividends on its Shares while any Units subject to this Agreement are outstanding, then the Company shall credit, as of each dividend payment date, a dollar amount of dividend equivalents to your account. The dollar amount of the dividend equivalents credited shall be determined by multiplying the number of Units credited to your account pursuant to this Agreement as of the dividend record date times the dollar amount of the cash dividend per Share. Your right to receive such accrued dividend equivalents shall vest, and the amount of the accrued dividend equivalents shall be paid in cash, to the same extent and at the same time as the underlying Units to which the dividend equivalents relate vest and are settled, as provided in Sections 5 and 7 of this Agreement. No interest shall accrue on any unpaid dividend equivalents. Any dividend equivalents accrued on Units that are forfeited in accordance with this Agreement shall also be forfeited.
