Extended Vesting Clause Samples

The Extended Vesting clause defines a modified schedule for the vesting of equity or benefits, typically lengthening the period over which an individual earns full ownership rights. In practice, this means that instead of the standard vesting timeline—such as four years—an employee or founder may be required to remain with the company for a longer period before all shares or options are fully vested. This clause is often used to incentivize long-term commitment and retention, ensuring that key contributors remain engaged with the organization over an extended timeframe.
Extended Vesting. (a) In the event that Participant’s employment with Disney or an Affiliate thereof terminates for any reason other than death, disability or “cause” (as further provided in the Stock Plan) at a time when (i) the Participant has attained the age of sixty and has completed at least ten consecutive Service Years (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) at least one year has passed since the Date of Grant of this Award, then the remaining then unvested Tranches of this Award shall vest in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof in the same manner as if Participant’s employment had continued through the Scheduled Vesting Date, provided that all of the conditions to such vesting (other than the condition set forth in Section 2.B hereof), including without limitation the condition set forth in Section 2.A hereof, have been met; provided, however, that to the extent that the vesting of any Stock Units under this Award is subject to the achievement of performance condition(s) pursuant to Section 2.A hereof (which conditions were imposed under Disney’s compensation practices and policies because the Participant was at the time of grant of this Award an executive officer of Disney who could have been a “covered employee” within the meaning of Section 162(m) at the time payment of this Award was expected to be made), and such performance condition(s) relate, in whole or in part, to any performance period continuing after the end of Disney’s fiscal year in which the termination of Participant’s employment with Disney or an Affiliate thereof occurs, then such performance condition(s) set forth in Section 2.A hereof shall be waived with respect to any such vesting of Stock Units hereunder (and any similar performance conditions set forth in Section 2.A of any other Award of Stock Units granted to the Participant after January 1, 2010 shall also be waived), provided that this proviso shall not be applicable if and to the extent, in the reasonable opinion of tax counsel to Disney, the presence thereof would cause any Stock Units intended to be qualified as other performance based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code to fail to be so qualified at any time prior to the termination of the Participant’s employment with Disney or any Affiliate thereof.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7(a) shall be interpreted or construed to limit the applicability of Section 2 hereof. (b) Solely for purposes of determining whether, and to what extent, the Participant shall have satisfied the service vesting requirement in Section 3.C, the Participant shall be deemed to have continued in employment (without duplication of any service credit afforded with respect to a Contractual Extension Provision) with Disney or an Affiliate during any period for which the Company provides Participant pay in lieu of notice in connection with The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, as currently in effect and as the same may be amended from time to time, or any successor statute thereto or any comparable provision of state, local or foreign law applicable to the Participant.
