Permitted Dividend Clause Samples

A Permitted Dividend clause defines the specific circumstances under which a company is allowed to distribute dividends to its shareholders, despite other restrictions that may exist in a contract or agreement. Typically, this clause outlines the maximum amount, timing, or conditions—such as financial thresholds or compliance with covenants—under which dividends can be paid. Its core function is to provide clarity and predictability for both the company and its creditors or investors, ensuring that dividend payments do not jeopardize the company’s financial stability or breach contractual obligations.
