Equity Retainer contract clause examples

The Chairman of the Board shall be entitled to an additional Equity Retainer equal to $50,000.

*At least 50% of Retainer must be selected in equity (in the form of DXLG Stock and/or DXLG Deferred Stock or any combination thereof) (the minimum is “Required Equity”).

Generally. Prior to the first day of each calendar year beginning on or after January 1, 2020, each Director may elect to defer payment of 100% of the Director’s Retainer Fees to be earned in such calendar year, that will be credited to the Participant’s Account. The election may also designate whether the Director’s Retainer Fees will be deferred into the Cash Sub-Account or the Equity Sub-Account. If such a choice is provided and a Director elects to defer his or her Director Retainer Fees into the Equity Sub-Account, the amount of such equity deferral shall be capped at the maximum annual individual share limit set forth in the Stock Plan, if any, and any Director Retainer Fees in excess of such cap automatically shall be deferred into the Cash Sub-Account. To be effective, such election must be completed and delivered to the Company prior to the first day of the calendar year in which the services relating to the Retainer Fees are performed. Any election made under this Section shall become irrevocable as of December 31 of the year prior to the year in which the services relating to the Retainer Fees are performed.

Equity. Subject to approval by the Board, the Company will grant Executive an option (the “Option”) under the Company’s 2015 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”) to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (subject to adjustment for corporate events as set forth in the Plan) at an exercise price per share equal to the per share fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, as determined in accordance with the Plan. The Option will vest as to 25% of the shares subject to the Option on the first anniversary of the Effective Date and as to an additional 6.25% of such shares upon Executive’s completing each three months of continuous service to the Company thereafter. In all respects, the Option will be governed by and subject to the terms of the Plan and a separate stock option agreement to be entered into between Executive and the Company.

Equity. Subject to approval by the Board, you will receive stock options to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for a price per share equal to the fair market value of one share of the Common Stock on the date of the option grant as determined by the Board and pursuant and subject to the terms of the Company’s Option Agreement (which must be executed to receive the grant). The stock options will vest (become exercisable) as follows:

Equity. Executive shall be eligible to participate in any equity compensation plan or similar program adopted by the Company when approved by the Board and, if applicable, the Company’s shareholders, for executives at Executive’s level. The amount awarded, if any, to the Executive under any such plan shall be in the discretion of the Board or any committee administering such plan and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of any plan or program adopted or approved by the Board. Any such grants will be effective when made and shall be subject to terms and conditions to be imposed by the Board under the Company’s plans, programs or applicable award agreement.

Equity. Notwithstanding the terms of any stock option agreement, restricted stock agreement or other stock award (“Equity Awards”), other than Equity Award terms more favorable to the Covered Employee, the portion of any unvested Equity Awards held by the Covered Employee on the Date of Termination (other than Equity Awards that vest on the basis of performance and do not provide solely for time-based vesting) which would have vested if the Covered Employee had remained employed by the Company or Applicable Subsidiary during the applicable Severance Period shall immediately vest upon the Release Effective Date.

Equity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the applicable equity documents, if you: # comply with all obligations contained in this Agreement, excluding your obligations under the Consulting Agreement set forth in Section 5, and # timely sign and return the Termination of Services Release attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Termination of Services Release”) the Company will accelerate the vesting of all unvested Stock Awards held by you as of the termination of the Consulting Period with respect to the portion of the shares subject thereto that would have vested during the twelve (12) month period following the termination of the Consulting Period, had you continued to provide services to the Company during such period. Furthermore, should you satisfy the conditions for receipt of the equity acceleration as set forth in the preceding sentence, effective as of the termination of the Consulting Period, your right to exercise any vested Stock Awards shall be extended until the date that is one (1) year following the termination of the Consulting Period (e.g. if the Consulting Period terminates September 16, 2021, the exercise period would be extended until September 16, 2022) (together with the equity acceleration, the “Equity Benefits”). You understand that as a result of the extended exercise period described above, applicable tax rules require that any options held by you that qualify for tax purposes as incentive stock options shall automatically be converted to non-statutory stock options for tax purposes as of the Effective Date of this Agreement according to the terms of the applicable equity incentive plan and of the Stock Awards thereunder, and that you shall consult your own tax advisor regarding the extended exercise period and the tax consequences of option transactions. Except as expressly modified herein, your Stock Awards will continue to be governed by the terms of the applicable equity incentive plan and other Stock Award documents, and your rights to exercise any vested Stock Awards shall be as set forth in the applicable equity incentive plan and/or the applicable Stock Award notices and agreements.

Equity. In addition to the equity awards currently outstanding, Executive will be eligible to be considered for the grant of stock options and/or other equity-based awards commensurate with Executive’s position and responsibilities. The amount, terms and conditions of any stock option or other equity-based award will be determined by the Board of Directors or an appropriate committee thereof in its discretion and set forth in the applicable equity plan and other documents governing the award.

Equity. Each of Participant’s then-outstanding unvested Equity Awards, other than Performance Awards (as defined below), shall accelerate and become vested and exercisable or settled with respect to the Acceleration Multiple (Other than During a Change in Control Period). With respect to awards that would otherwise vest only upon satisfaction of performance criteria (“Performance Awards”), the vesting will accelerate as set forth in the terms of the applicable Performance Award agreement.
