Equity Awards contract clause examples

Equity Awards. In consideration of your covenants set forth in paragraph 12(j) and in order to retain your exclusive services as an Advisor (other than in connection with Permitted Services) during the periods described in paragraph 12, [[Organization A:Organization]] agrees that upon the Commencement Date (or if the Commencement Date is not a trading day, on the first trading day after the Commencement Date) (the “Additional RSU Grant Date”), you will automatically be granted restricted stock units having a value equal to Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) (the “Additional RSUs”). The number of Additional RSUs granted on the Additional RSU Grant Date (rounded down to a whole unit for any fractional unit) shall be determined by dividing the value specified in the preceding sentence by the closing price of one share of Class B Common Stock on the Additional RSU Grant Date. Each Additional RSU shall correspond to one share of Class B Common Stock. The Additional RSUs shall vest in three (3) equal installments on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Commencement Date, subject to earlier acceleration or cancellations as provided in paragraph 12(h) or any deferral election.

This letter is also to confirm our understanding, notwithstanding any provision in your Employment Agreement, that you shall receive a one-time special equity award in the form of Restricted Share Units (RSUs) of [[Organization A:Organization]] Class B common stock with a grant date value of One Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,750,000). Such award shall be granted on the tenth (10th) business day immediately following the Effective Date and the number of RSUs granted shall equal the grant date value of $1,750,000 divided by the closing price of the [[Organization A:Organization]] Class B common stock on the date of grant rounded down to the nearest whole number. The RSUs granted shall vest 25% annually on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th anniversaries of the grant date subject to the Terms & Conditions of the award. In the event that you are terminated without Cause or resign for Good Reason in accordance with paragraph 11 of the Employment Agreement, this one-time special equity award shall continue to vest at the same time as if you remained actively employed with the Company.

Equity Awards. Promptly following the Effective Date, the Company shall grant you restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with respect to Company common stock with a value of $325,000 as of the grant date (determined by dividing $325,000 by the closing price per share of Company common stock on the date of grant). The RSUs shall vest fully upon one year of service, subject to your continued employment or continued service on the Board through the vesting date. The RSUs shall be subject to the terms of the Company’s 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and the standard form of RSU agreement thereunder. The foregoing grant shall be in lieu of any equity awards granted to outside directors during the Employment Period pursuant to the Company’s outside director compensation program, as may be amended and/or restated from time to time. In addition, any RSUs or performance-based RSUs that you currently hold will continue to vest in accordance with their terms, subject to your continued service on the Board.
