Performance Shares Clause Samples

The Performance Shares clause defines the terms under which shares are granted to individuals or entities based on the achievement of specific performance targets. Typically, this clause outlines the performance metrics that must be met, the measurement period, and the number of shares that may be awarded if those targets are achieved. For example, an executive might receive a set number of shares if the company reaches certain revenue or profit milestones within a defined timeframe. The core function of this clause is to incentivize performance by aligning the interests of recipients with the success of the company, thereby motivating them to achieve key business objectives.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain Performance Shares shall be subject to a reduction in the maximum number of shares which may be delivered, as follows: (A) For each award of Performance Shares, if Executive’s Termination Date occurs on or after the end of the third calendar month of the final full year of the applicable Performance Period (as such term is defined in the Incentive Plan) (e.g., for a Performance Period of January 1, 2015 through January 1, 2018, on or after March 31, 2017), then such Performance Shares shall be treated as described in the preceding paragraph without any reduction in the maximum number of shares which may be delivered.

For this purpose, if the Change of Control occurs during the performance period applicable to a performance share award, the “performance shares subject to his or her performance share awards” shall be deemed to be one hundred percent (100%) of the Target Number of Performance Shares (as set forth in the applicable performance share award). Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or the applicable performance share award to the contrary and to the extent required to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), prior to actual payment to the Employee, the performance shares for which the vesting would not have otherwise been accelerated under the terms of the applicable performance share award shall be paid at the same time or times as if such performance shares had vested in accordance with the vesting schedule and provisions set forth in the applicable performance share award.

If Enterprise Revenue CAGR is greater than Threshold Enterprise Revenue CAGR (as determined after the end of the Performance Period), you will be entitled to a prorated Revenue Performance Share Number. For each component, your Performance Share Award will be determined by multiplying the Performance Share Number calculated as if you were employed by a member of the Company Group on the last day of the Performance Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Performance Period you were so employed, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period.
