Limitations on Change in Control Benefits Clause Samples

The "Limitations on Change in Control Benefits" clause restricts the amount or type of compensation and benefits an employee or executive may receive if their employment ends due to a change in the ownership or control of the company. Typically, this clause sets caps on severance payments, bonuses, or accelerated vesting of equity awards, and may exclude certain types of payouts altogether. Its core function is to prevent excessive or unintended financial obligations for the company in the event of mergers, acquisitions, or similar transactions, thereby protecting the company’s financial interests and ensuring fairness in executive compensation.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement, and payments and benefits provided to you, or for your benefit, under any other plan or agreement (such payments or benefits, the “Benefits”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), the Benefits shall be reduced (but not below zero) if and to the extent that a reduction in the Benefits would result in your retaining a larger amount, on an after-tax basis (taking into account federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax), than if you received all of the Benefits (such reduced amount, the “Limited Benefit Amount”). 6.2. A determination as to whether the Benefits shall be reduced to the Limited Benefit Amount pursuant to this Section 6 and the amount of such Limited Benefit Amount shall be made by Skyworks’ independent public accountants or another certified public accounting firm, executive compensation consulting firm or law firm of national reputation designated by Skyworks (the “Firm”) at Skyworks’ expense.

Unless you provide written notice to Skyworks within ten (10) business days of the delivery to you of the Determination that you dispute such Determination, the Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon you and Skyworks.
