Company Stock Units. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Stock Unit, whether or not vested, as of the Effective Time, shall be converted into the right to receive, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any individual award holders, an amount in cash determined by multiplying the per share Merger Consideration by the number of shares of Company Stock such holder could have acquired under the terms of such Company Stock Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Conversion Unit”). The Conversion Unit shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the related Company Stock Unit, including the vesting and forfeiture provisions, except that the holder thereof shall be entitled to automatic settlement in cash of the vested portion of the Conversion Unit in accordance with the original vesting schedule (including any terms related to automatic accelerated vesting in connection with certain terminations of employment following the Merger) of the related Company Stock Unit. To the extent that a Company Stock Unit is vested as of, or vests upon the Effective Time in accordance with its terms as of the date hereof (including any terms related to accelerated vesting), Parent shall, or shall cause the Company, to settle the resulting vested Conversion Unit promptly after the Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, each holder of a Company Stock Unit shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive a Conversion Unit under this Section 2.05(b).
Company Stock Units. At the Effective Time, each outstanding stock unit issued under the Stock Plans, including all performance share units (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any “Muve Music” performance share units) and deferred stock units but excluding any cash award with a value that is not determined based on the value of Shares (each such unit, a “Company Stock Unit”), whether or not then exercisable or vested, shall be cancelled and shall only entitle the holder of such Company Stock Unit to receive, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, (i) an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the number of Shares covered by such Company Stock Unit multiplied by (y) the Per Share Cash Merger Consideration, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment and (ii) one Contingent Value Right for each Share covered by such Company Stock Unit. If the number of Shares subject to a Company Stock Unit has not been finally determined as of immediately prior to the Effective Time due to the existence of a performance condition for which the applicable measurement period is incomplete as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, such number of Shares shall be determined assuming achievement of target levels of performance. To the extent any such cancelled Company Stock Unit is subject to a deferred payment schedule pursuant to the applicable distribution provisions of Section 409A of the Code so that such cash amount cannot be paid to the holder within such period without the holder’s incurrence of a penalty Tax and interest penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then any such cash amount otherwise payable to the holder of such cancelled Company Stock Unit will be distributed in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations.
Company Stock Units. (a) As of immediately prior to and conditioned upon the Effective Time and without any action on the part of any holder of a Company Stock Unit and notwithstanding any term or condition thereof or the terms and conditions under any plans pursuant to which it was granted or pursuant to which it is held or maintained, each direct or indirect holder of a Company Stock Unit shall receive a number of unrestricted shares of Company Common Stock equal to the number of shares underlying such Company Stock Unit; provided that in the event the Deferred Compensation Plan is not terminated before the Effective Time, for these purposes the Deferred Compensation Plan Trust shall be considered the sole holder of the Company Stock Units attributable to the Deferred Compensation Plan. Each such share of Company Common Stock received in replacement of Company Stock Units shall be automatically converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Price, less any required tax withholdings in accordance with Section 1.10(d) below, on the same terms as all other shares of Company Common Stock, except that each such share shall be automatically converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Price without the requirement to present a certificate in exchange for receipt of the Per Share Merger Consideration. As of the Effective Time, all Company Stock Units shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically cease to exist, and each Company Stock Unit holder or participant in the Deferred Compensation Plan shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto. The cash received upon the conversion set forth herein shall be credited to each applicable Deferred Compensation Plan participant’s book account, shall be deemed invested in any available investment fund under the Deferred Compensation Plan (except for a fund based upon the Company Common Stock) and shall be payable to the Deferred Compensation Plan participant only in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan (as amended to effectuate the foregoing).
Company Stock Units. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Stock Unit that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled as of the Effective Time and converted into a vested right to receive cash in an amount equal to (i) the Merger Consideration, plus (ii) the amount of any unpaid dividend equivalents associated with such Company Stock Unit as of the Effective Time, subject to any withholding Taxes required by Law to be withheld in accordance with Section 2.03(f). In each case, payment with respect to any Company Stock Units shall be made within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date.
Company Stock Units. At the Effective Time, except as otherwise agreed by Parent and the holder of Company Stock Units with respect to such holder’s Company Stock Units, each Company Stock Unit, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior thereto shall become fully vested and all restrictions thereon shall lapse and shall be converted automatically into the right to receive at the Effective Time an amount in cash in U.S. dollars equal to the product of (i) the total number of such Company Stock Units and (ii) the Merger Consideration; provided, however, that Company Stock Units that have been deferred in accordance with the terms of a Company Plan shall be converted into the right to receive, subject to the terms of the applicable deferral arrangement, an amount of cash equal to the product of (x) the number of Company Stock Units that have been so deferred and (y) the Merger Consideration, and that such amount shall be transferred to the Company to be held in the same manner as other cash deferrals under the applicable deferral arrangement.
Company Stock Units. The Company shall take all requisite action so that, at the Effective Time, each Company DSU that is outstanding under the Directors Deferred Compensation Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested, shall be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cancelled and converted into the right to receive from Parent and the Surviving Corporation, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of: (i) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company DSU; multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration, less any Taxes required to be withheld in accordance with Section 2.05; provided that with respect to any Company DSUs that the Company, in consultation with Parent, has determined constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and that are not permitted to be paid at the Effective Time without triggering a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code, such payment shall be made at the earliest time permitted under the applicable Stock Plan and award agreement that will not trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code.
