Financial Statement Restatement contract clause examples

Accounting Restatement. If a Participant receives compensation pursuant to an Award under the Plan based on financial statements that are subsequently restated in a way that would decrease the value of such compensation, the Participant will, to the extent not otherwise prohibited by law, upon the written request of the Company, forfeit and repay to the Company the difference between what the Participant received and what the Participant should have received based on the accounting restatement, in accordance with # any compensation recovery, “clawback” or similar policy, as may be in effect from time to time to which such Participant is subject and # any compensation recovery, “clawback” or similar policy made applicable by law including the provisions of Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules, regulations and requirements adopted thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any national securities exchange on which the Company’s equity securities may be listed (the “ Policy”). By accepting an Award hereunder, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Policy, whenever adopted, shall apply to such Award, and all incentive-based compensation payable pursuant to such Award shall be subject to forfeiture and repayment pursuant to the terms of the Policy.

Clawback/Recovery. All Awards granted under the Plan will be subject to recoupment in accordance with any clawback policy that the Company is required to adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other Applicable Law. In addition, the Board may impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions in an Award Agreement or compensation clawback policy as the Board determines necessary or appropriate, including but not limited to a reacquisition right in respect of previously acquired shares of Common Stock or other cash or property upon the occurrence of an event constituting Cause. No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to a right to voluntarily terminate employment upon a “resignation for good reason,” or for a “constructive termination” or any similar term under any plan of or agreement with the Company or any Affiliate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such clawback policy of the Company, whether required by applicable listing standards or law, or otherwise adopted by the Board in its discretion, may provide that if a Participant, regardless of his or her position with the Company, receives compensation pursuant to an Award under the Plan based on financial statements that are subsequently required to be restated in a way that would decrease the value of such compensation, the Participant will forfeit and repay to the Company the difference between what the Participant received and what the Participant should have received based on the accounting restatement. By accepting an Award hereunder, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that any such policy shall apply to such Award, and all compensation payable pursuant to such Award shall be subject to forfeiture and repayment pursuant to the terms of such policy. Although not required to give effect to the provisions of this [Section 12(c)], the Committee may, as it deems appropriate, amend the Plan to reflect the terms of any such policy.
