Vesting; Payment Clause Samples

The 'Vesting; Payment' clause defines the conditions under which rights, benefits, or ownership interests become fully established (vested) and the corresponding timing and method of payment. Typically, this clause outlines a schedule or milestones that must be met before an individual or entity gains full entitlement to certain assets, such as shares, bonuses, or other compensation, and specifies when and how payments will be made once vesting occurs. Its core practical function is to ensure clarity and predictability regarding when parties acquire rights and receive payments, thereby reducing disputes and aligning incentives.

Vesting; Payment. Vesting of the Performance Units is contingent upon achievement of performance targets for the period from October 1, ____ through September 30, _____ (the “Performance Period”). Provided that such Performance Units have not been forfeited pursuant to Section 5 below, a number of Performance Units will vest on the last date of the Performance Period (the “Vesting/Payment Date”) as follows. Whether and to what extent the Target Performance Units shall vest shall be determined by comparing the Company’s Adjusted Cumulative Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) and Free Cash Flow as a Percentage of Sales (“FCF”) during the Performance Period. Threshold, target, and stretch performance during the Performance Period are set forth in the chart below: Upon attainment of “threshold” performance for the Performance Period in either EPS or FCF, 25% of the Target Performance Units will vest, with 50% of such Target performance Units vesting upon attainment of “threshold” performance for both EPS and FCF. Upon attainment of “target” performance for the Performance Period in either EPS or FCF, 50% of the Target Performance Units will vest, with 100% of such Target performance Units vesting upon attainment of “target” performance for both EPS and FCF. Upon attainment of “stretch” performance for the Performance Period in either EPS or FCF, 100% of the Target Performance Units will vest, with 200% of such Target performance Units vesting upon attainment of “stretch” performance for both EPS and FCF. In the event either EPS or FCF performance is between threshold and target or target and stretch performance for a Performance Period, the awards will proportionally vest between 25% and 50% or 50% and 100% proportionally, based upon linear interpolation with increases at 1/10th of 1% increments between each percentage. No payment under this performance goal will be made for Company performance below threshold. For purposes of this Agreement, Adjusted Cumulative Earnings Per Share means the cumulativediluted earnings per share”, (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) as reasonably determined by the Company and approved by the Committee, adjusted to account for: ◦ the effects of acquisitions; divestitures; stock split-ups; stock dividends or distributions; recapitalizations; warrants or rights issuances or combinations; exchanges or reclassifications with respect to any outstanding class or series of the Company’s common stock; ◦ a corporate transactio...
