Performance Share Unit Award and Related Deferred Dividend Shares Sample Clauses

The "Performance Share Unit Award and Related Deferred Dividend Shares" clause defines the terms under which an employee or executive is granted performance share units (PSUs), which are a form of equity compensation tied to the achievement of specific performance goals. Typically, this clause outlines how PSUs are awarded, the performance metrics that must be met for vesting, and the treatment of any dividends that accrue on the underlying shares during the vesting period, often by crediting deferred dividend shares to the recipient. Its core function is to incentivize recipients to meet performance targets while aligning their interests with shareholders, and to clarify how both the PSUs and any associated dividends are handled until the awards vest.
