The Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (the “Committee”) has granted to you as of [XX, 2022] (the “Award Date”) an Award of RSUs as designated herein subject to the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. Each RSU shall represent the conditional right to receive, upon settlement of the RSU, one share of Bristol-Myers Squibb Common Stock (“Common Stock”) or, at the discretion of the Company, the cash equivalent thereof (subject to any tax withholding as described in Section 4). The purpose of such Award is to motivate and retain you as an employee of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, to encourage you to continue to give your best efforts for the Company’s future success, to increase your proprietary interest in the Company, and to align your interests with the interests of the Company’s shareholders. Except as may be required by law, you are not required to make any payment (other than payments for taxes pursuant to Section 4 hereof) or provide any other monetary consideration.
Restricted Stock Units Award. The Company hereby grants to you an aggregate of restricted stock units (individually, an "RSU," and collectively, "RSUs") as more specifically set forth in Section 2(e). Each RSU entitles you to receive one share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the "Shares") at such time as the restrictions described in Section 2(d)(ii) lapse as described in Section 2(e).
The Company shall establish a bookkeeping account on its records for the Grantee and shall credit the Grantee’s Restricted Stock Units to the bookkeeping account.
Accelerated Restricted Stock Units. With respect to an Employee who is or was at any time a named executive officer (as determined under Item of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the Units are subject to all the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan regarding Accelerated Restricted Stock Units including, but not limited to, the retention requirements as provided in [Section 9(c)] of the Plan.
Restricted Stock Units Grant. Effective for service on or after October 1, 2008 to be granted January 1, 2009 and on the first day of each succeeding calendar quarter, each Outside Director who is then a member of the Board of Directors and served as a member of the Board for any portion of the calendar quarter ended immediately prior to such day, will be granted the number of Restricted Stock Units that will be equal to the applicable Equity Grant Amount (or the pro-rata amount based on the number of days of service in the quarter if the Outside Director did not serve the whole quarter) divided by the Fair Market Value of Common Stock for such grant date, or if the New York Stock Exchange is not open for trading on such date, the grant date shall be the next following trading date.
