interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). If the Company elects to exercise this redemption right, the Company must do so by mailing a redemption notice to each Holder at its registered address (or in the case of Global Notes sent, in accordance with the procedures of DTC or any other depository) with a copy to the Trustee within 60 days following the Change of Control (or, at the Companys option, prior to such Change of Control but after the transaction giving rise to such Change of Control is publicly announced). Any such redemption may be conditioned upon the Change of Control occurring if the notice is mailed (or, in the case of Global Notes sent) prior to the Change of Control. If the Change of Control does not occur, the Company will provide prompt written notice to the Trustee rescinding such redemption, and such redemption and notice of redemption shall be rescinded and of no force or effect. Upon receipt of such notice, the Trustee will promptly send a copy of such notice to the Holders in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given. If the Company exercises the Change of Control redemption right, the Company will not be required to make the Change of Control Offer described below under Change of Control unless or until there is a default in payment of the redemption price.
Section 8. Conversion Upon a Change of Control. The Series C Preferred Stock is not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Company, except as provided in this Section 8.
9. Purchase Upon Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event and upon the terms and conditions set forth in Section1009 of the Indenture, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Securities in accordance with their terms, each Holder of Securities will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holders Securities pursuant to the offer described below (the Change of Control Offer), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of the Securities to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.
SECTION 2.04. Optional Conversion Upon a Change of Control. Preferred Shares shall not be convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Company, except as provided in the Amendment to the Articles and except that the Preferred Shares will automatically be converted into Excess Preferred Shares in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation as described below in Section2.11.
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below), we may, at our option, redeem the SeriesA Preferred Units in whole or in part within 120days after the first date on which such Change of Control occurred (the “Change of Control Redemption Period”), by paying the liquidation preference of $25.00 per SeriesA Preferred Unit, plus all accumulated and unpaid distributions to, but excluding, the redemption date, whether or not declared. If, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date (as defined below), we exercise our right to redeem SeriesA Preferred Units as described in the immediately preceding sentence or as described below under “—Redemption,” holders of the SeriesA Preferred Units we have elected to redeem will not have the conversion right described below under “—Conversion Right upon a Change of Control.” Any such redemption would be effected only out of funds legally available for such purpose.
of SeriesA Preferred Units electing to exercise its Change of Control Conversion Right (as defined below) will receive upon conversion of such SeriesA Preferred Units elected by such holder the kind and amount of such consideration that such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive upon the Change of Control had such holder held a number of our common units equal to the Common Unit Conversion Consideration immediately prior to the effective time of the Change of Control, which we refer to as the Alternative Conversion Consideration; provided, however, that if the holders of our common units have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in the Change of Control, the consideration that the holders of SeriesA Preferred Units electing to exercise their Change of Control Conversion Right will receive will be the form and proportion of the aggregate consideration elected by the holders of our common units who participate in the determination (based on the weighted average of elections) and will be subject to any limitations to which all holders of our common units are subject, including, without limitation, pro rata reductions applicable to any portion of the consideration payable in the Change of Control. We will not issue fractional common units upon the conversion of the SeriesA Preferred Units. Instead, we will pay the cash value of such fractional units.
Any time on or after August15, 2023, we may redeem, at our option, in whole or in part, the SeriesA Preferred Units at a redemption price in cash equal to $25.00 per SeriesA Preferred Unit plus an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid distributions thereon to, but excluding, the date of redemption, whether or not declared. We may undertake multiple partial redemptions. We may also redeem the SeriesA Preferred Units under the terms set forth under “—Change of Control—Optional Redemption upon a Change of Control.” Any such redemption would be effected only out of funds legally available for such purpose and would be subject to compliance with the provisions of the instruments governing our outstanding indebtedness.
2. Capital Adjustments upon a Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, (a)the number, class and kind of PRSUs then outstanding under the Award will automatically be adjusted to reflect the same changes as are made to outstanding shares of Common Stock generally, (b)the value per share unit of any share-denominated award amount will be measured by reference to the per share value of the consideration payable to a holder of Common Stock in connection with such Corporate Transaction or Transactions if applicable, and (c)with respect to stock-payable PRSUs only, if the effect of the Corporate Transaction or Transactions on a holder of Common Stock is to convert that shareholders holdings into consideration that does not consist solely (other than as to a minimal amount) of shares of Common Stock, then the entire value of any payment to be made to you will be made solely in cash at the applicable time specified in this Agreement.
If a Change of Control occurs after your death, and the date of death occurs after a calendar year but prior to performance-adjustment by the Committee for a given Tranche, such Tranche will vest based on actual performance as determined by the Committee if such Committee determination was made as of the date immediately preceding the date of the Change of Control. If no Committee determination was made as of the date immediately preceding the Change of Control, then the Annual Corporate Performance Factor, the Annual Tier 1 Risk-Based Performance Factor and the Annual Risk Review Performance Factor for such Tranche will be determined as set forth in this Change of Control subparagraph.
(b) Payment Upon a Change of Control. Accrual of Dividend Equivalents will cease as of the Change of Control. Upon a Change of Control, Dividend Equivalents accrued (without reinvestment or interest) between the Grant Date and the Change of Control will vest and be paid out in cash, less the payment of any applicable withholding taxes pursuant to Section6 of Appendix A, if and when the Award vests and pays out, as if you were the record holder of the number of Shares equal to the number of vested Payout Share Units underlying the Award from the Grant Date through the date of the Change of Control. E. PAYMENT OF THE AWARD E.1 PAYMENT TIMING Except as otherwise provided below, vested Payout Share Units that remain outstanding will be settled as soon as practicable following the applicable Final Award Date (and no later than (x)in the event of your death, December 31st following the year of death or (y)March 15th following the year the Award vests). E.2 FORMOFPAYMENT; AMOUNT (a) Payment Generally.
(c) Determination of Payout Share Units following a Change of Control. The calculated maximum Payout Share Units are determined by adding together the number of IPUs in the Pre-COC Tranche and the number of IPUs in the Post-COC Tranche upon application of the applicable Performance Factors. The amount of Payout Share Units is rounded down to the nearest whole share unit. The Committee does not have discretion to increase or decrease this calculated potential award amount.
11. Definition of Change of Control Coverage Period Change of Control Coverage Period means a period commencing on the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (defined below) and ending upon the earlier to occur of (a)the date of a Change of Control Failure (defined below) and (b)the date of a Change of Control. After the termination of any Change of Control Coverage Period, another Change of Control Coverage Period will commence upon the occurrence of another Change of Control Triggering Event.
For stock price performance awards, such as our market value stock unit awards (MVSUs), shares will be earned based on performance during a truncated performance period that ends on the change of control. The number of shares earned will be based on performance measured upon the change in control, using the transaction price to measure our stock price performance. The portion of the award that does not vest based on this formula will be forfeited. This modifies the terms of our existing MVSU awards, which previously were subject to further pro rata reduction based upon the portion of the original performance period that had been completed, plus six (6) additional months (not to exceed the total performance period).
A. It is expected that the Company from time to time will consider the possibility of a Change of Control. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) recognizes that such consideration can be a distraction to Executive and can cause Executive to consider alternative employment opportunities.
(a)Stock Price Performance-Based Equity Awards. For each stock unit equity award with vesting conditioned all or in part on the per share fair market value of the Company's common stock exceeding one or more target levels (including appreciation relative to one or more other publicly-traded securities), the performance measurement period will terminate on the date of the Change of Control, and Executive will vest in that percentage of the Company shares covered by the equity award determined by applying the formula set forth in the award agreement as if the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the last day of the performance measurement period was the per share consideration paid pursuant to the transaction(s) constituting the Change of Control. The portion of the equity award for which the performance condition is not deemed satisfied pursuant to this Section 4(a) will be forfeited. The effective date of the foregoing vesting credit and forfeiture will be the date of the Change of Control. This provision will apply to all such equity awards that are outstanding as of the Effective Date, and all such future equity awards unless specifically provided otherwise by the Board’s Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) in the applicable award agreement.
(b)Termination Apart from a Change of Control. If Executive’s employment with the Company terminates other than as a result of an Involuntary Termination on or within twelve months (12) months after a Change of Control, or within three (3) months prior to a Change of Control, then Executive shall not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits hereunder.
You may not be able to exercise conversion rights upon a Change of Control. If exercisable, the change of control conversion rights described in this prospectus supplement may not adequately compensate you. These change of control conversion rights may also make it more difficult for a party to acquire us or discourage a party from acquiring us.
We will not issue fractional shares of our common stock upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock in connection with a Change of Control. Instead, we will make a cash payment equal to the value of such fractional shares based upon the Common Stock Price used in determining the Common Stock Conversion Consideration for such Change of Control.
(c) In the case of a Change of Control pursuant to which the Common Shares will be converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property or assets (including any combination thereof) (the Alternative FormConsideration), a holder of SeriesA Preferred Shares will receive upon conversion of such SeriesA Preferred Shares the kind and amount of such consideration that such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive upon the Change of Control had such holder held a number of Common Shares equal to the Common Share Conversion Consideration immediately prior to the effective time of the Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change of Control occurs prior to March31, 2022 and the Corporation is not able to deliver Alternative FormConsideration, the Corporation may in lieu thereof deliver to holders converting SeriesA Preferred Shares upon such Change of Control cash in an amount equal to the fair value (as determined by the Corporation in good faith) of the Alternative FormConsideration that was otherwise deliverable.
(a) The Employee and the Company acknowledge that the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board intends to review and approve a schedule indicating a method of calculating certain payments to be made to the Employee hereunder in the event of a Termination upon a Change of Control. In the event that the compensation plans referred to herein change prior to a Change of Control, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board may, prior to such Change of Control, revise the schedule to reflect such changes. The method of calculation set forth on such schedule, as so revised prior to a Change of Control, shall be followed by the parties hereto unless manifestly unfair to the Employee.
(b) In the event of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to any provision of this Agreement or the Employee’s Termination upon a Change of Control, the Company shall appoint as the sole and exclusive arbiter of such dispute, controversy or claim, a committee composed of two persons who were members of the Company’s Board at any time within five (5)years prior to the Change of Control (which persons may, but need not be, directors of the Company at the time of such dispute, controversy or claim); provided , however , that no person shall be eligible to serve thereon who (i)is at the Termination Date, or shall have been at any time within one year prior thereto, an executive officer of the Company, or (ii)shall be or have been at any time related in any manner to or otherwise affiliated with, or was first nominated by, the corporation, Person or group whose acquisition of shares of Common Stock of BMBC has given rise to a Change of Control. The decision of such committee and the award of any monetary judgment or other relief by such committee shall be final and binding upon the Employee and the Company, and shall not be subject to appeal. Judgment may be entered upon the decision and award of such committee by the Employee or the Company in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Company shall pay the persons selected pursuant to this subsection a reasonable fee for their services, and shall reimburse such persons for their expenses incurred in this capacity. In addition, the Company shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless such persons of and from any and all claims, damages or expenses of any nature whatsoever relating to or arising from their activities in this capacity.
Each of CH2Ms executive officers has entered into a change of control agreement with CH2M (the CoC Agreements). Under the CoC Agreements, CH2M will provide certain benefits in the event of a qualifying termination of employment (i.e., the termination of the executives employment by CH2M other than for cause or by the executive for good reason, each as defined in the CoC Agreements) that occurs within the 24-month period commencing upon a change of control. The Merger would constitute a change of control under the CoC Agreements.
