Cash Election Holders of JCN Common Stock shall be provided with an opportunity to elect to receive cash consideration in lieu of receiving Highwoods Common Stock in the Merger, in accordance with the election procedures set forth below in this Section 3.2. Holders who are to receive cash in lieu of exchanging their shares of JCN Common Stock for Highwoods Common Stock as specified below shall receive $65 per share of JCN Common Stock in cash (the "Per Share Cash Consideration"). The amount determined by multiplying $65 by the number of Dissenting Shares shall be defined herein as the "Dissenting Share Amount." The aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration to be paid in the Merger, plus the Dissenting Share Amount, shall be limited to 40% of the aggregate consideration paid in exchange for shares of JCN Common Stock and shall be defined herein as the "Cash Amount." A form for use by JCN shareholders to elect to receive cash and other appropriate and customary transmittal material (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected only upon proper delivery of the certificates theretofore representing JCN Common Stock ("Old Certificates") to an exchange agent designated by Highwoods (the "Exchange Agent")) in such form as Highwoods and JCN shall mutually agree ("Election Form") shall be mailed concurrently with the mailing of the Proxy Statement required by Section 8.1 hereof, or on such other date as Highwoods and JCN shall mutually agree ("Mailing Date") to each holder of record of JCN Common Stock on the record date ("Record Date") for the JCN shareholders entitled to vote at the shareholders meeting to approve the Merger as required by Section 8.1 (the "JCN Shareholders Meeting"). Each Election Form shall permit a holder (or the beneficial owner through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions) of JCN Common Stock to elect to receive cash with respect to all or a portion of such holder's JCN Common Stock. Any shares of JCN Common Stock with respect to which the holder (or the beneficial owner, as the case may be) elects to receive cash and does not dissent shall be referred to herein as the "Cash Election Shares." Any shares of JCN Common Stock with respect to which the holder (or the beneficial owner, as the case may be) either does not submit an Election Form or does not elect to receive cash and does not dissent, shall be collectively referred to herein as "Stock Election Shares." Any of the elections set forth in the foregoing paragraph shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received an effective, properly completed Election Form on or before 5:00 p.m. on the fifth business day prior to the date of the JCN Shareholders Meeting (or such other time and date as Highwoods and JCN may mutually agree, including as a result of any adjournment or postponement of the JCN Shareholders Meeting) (the "Election Deadline") which is not revoked or changed prior to the Election Deadline. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the person submitting a subsequent Election Form at or prior to the Election Deadline. In the event an Election Form is revoked prior to the Election Deadline, the shares of JCN Common Stock represented by such Election Form shall become Stock Election Shares unless the Exchange Agent shall have actually received an effective, properly completed Election Form prior to the Election Deadline and such Election Form is not revoked or changed prior to the Election Deadline. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. The Exchange Agent shall promptly notify JCN of any defect in an Election Form other than an immaterial defect disregarded in good faith by the Exchange Agent. Subject to the foregoing sentence, neither Highwoods nor the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any person of any defect in an Election Form. Within three business days after the Election Deadline, Highwoods shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among the holders of JCN Common Stock in accordance with the Election Forms; provided, however, if the amount of cash that would be issued upon the conversion of the Cash Election Shares is greater than the amount by which the Cash Amount exceeds the Dissenting Share Amount (the "Maximum Cash Election Amount"), then the Exchange Agent shall convert a sufficient number of Cash Election Shares (other than Dissenting Shares) into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration, which Cash Election Shares shall be selected pro rata from among all of the holders thereof, based upon the aggregate number of Cash Election Shares held by each of such holders, such that the amount of cash that will be issued in the Merger to satisfy the non-converted Cash Election Shares equals as closely as practicable the Maximum Cash Election Amount. Highwoods shall, at least two business days prior to the date of the JCN Shareholders Meeting, communicate to JCN the aggregate allocation of stock and cash, the amount of stock and cash going to each of JCN's shareholders, and the method in which such amounts were calculated.
Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, etc In the event of any issuance of Shares of the Company’s voting securities hereafter to any of the Stockholders (including, without limitation, in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, or the like), such Shares shall become subject to this Agreement and shall be notated with the legend set forth in Subsection 7.12.
Qualified Settlement Fund The Administrator shall establish a settlement fund that meets the requirements of a Qualified Settlement Fund (“QSF”) under US Treasury Regulation section 468B-1.
Elective Distributions in Cash or Shares Whenever the Company intends to distribute a dividend payable at the election of the holders of Shares in cash or in additional Shares, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Depositary at least 30 days prior to the proposed distribution stating whether or not it wishes such elective distribution to be made available to Holders of ADSs. Upon receipt of notice indicating that the Company wishes such elective distribution to be made available to Holders of ADSs, the Depositary shall consult with the Company to determine, and the Company shall assist the Depositary in its determination, whether it is lawful and reasonably practicable to make such elective distribution available to the Holders of ADSs. The Depositary shall make such elective distribution available to Holders only if (i) the Company shall have timely requested that the elective distribution is available to Holders of ADRs, (ii) the Depositary shall have received satisfactory documentation within the terms of Section 5.7 hereof (including, without limitation, any legal opinions of counsel in any applicable jurisdiction that the Depositary in its reasonable discretion may request, at the expense of the Company) and (iii) the Depositary shall have determined that such distribution is lawful and reasonably practicable. If the above conditions are not satisfied, the Depositary shall, to the extent permitted by law, distribute to the Holders, on the basis of the same determination as is made in the local market in respect of the Shares for which no election is made, either cash upon the terms described in Section 4.1 hereof or additional ADSs representing such additional Shares upon the terms described in Section 4.2 hereof. If the above conditions are satisfied, the Depositary shall establish an ADS Record Date (on the terms described in Section 4.7 hereof) and establish procedures to enable Holders to elect the receipt of the proposed dividend in cash or in additional ADSs. The Company shall assist the Depositary in establishing such procedures to the extent necessary. Subject to Section 5.9 hereof, if a Holder elects to receive the proposed dividend in cash, the dividend shall be distributed upon the terms described in Section 4.1 hereof or in ADSs, the dividend shall be distributed upon the terms described in Section 4.2 hereof. Nothing herein shall obligate the Depositary to make available to Holders a method to receive the elective dividend in Shares (rather than ADSs). There can be no assurance that Holders generally, or any Holder in particular, will be given the opportunity to receive elective distributions on the same terms and conditions as the holders of Shares.
Treatment of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, etc In case the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common Stock, or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock), then, and in each such case, Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued (a) in the case of any such dividend, immediately after the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive such dividend, or (b) in the case of any such subdivision, at the close of business on the day immediately prior to the day upon which such corporate action becomes effective.
Common Stock Record Date Each Person in whose name any certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued (or to whose broker’s account is credited shares of Common Stock through the DWAC system) upon the exercise of Warrants shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record for the Common Stock represented thereby on, and such certificate shall be dated, the date on which submission of the Notice of Exercise was made, provided that the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant is duly surrendered (but only if required herein) and payment of the Exercise Price (and any applicable transfer taxes) is received on or prior to the Warrant Share Delivery Date; provided, however, that if the date of submission of the Notice of Exercise is a date upon which the Common Stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such Person shall be deemed to have become the record holder of such shares on, and such certificate shall be dated, the next succeeding day on which the Common Stock transfer books of the Company are open.
Parent Common Stock At and after the Effective Time, each share of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain an issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation and shall not be affected by the Merger.
Dividends and Distributions in Cash, Shares, etc Upon the timely receipt by the Depositary of a notice from the Company that it intends to make a distribution of a cash dividend or other cash distribution, the Depositary shall establish an ADS Record Date upon the terms described in Section 4.9 of the Deposit Agreement. Upon receipt of confirmation from the Custodian of receipt of any cash dividend or other cash distribution on any Deposited Securities, or upon receipt of proceeds from the sale of any Deposited Securities or of any entitlements held in respect of Deposited Securities under the terms of the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary will (i) if at the time of receipt thereof any amounts received in a Foreign Currency can in the judgment of the Depositary (upon the terms of Section 4.8 of the Deposit Agreement), be converted on a practicable basis into Dollars transferable to the United States, promptly convert or cause to be converted such cash dividend, distribution or proceeds into Dollars (upon the terms of Section 4.8 of the Deposit Agreement), (ii) if applicable and unless previously established, establish the ADS Record Date upon the terms described in Section 4.9 of the Deposit Agreement, and (iii) distribute promptly the amount thus received (net of (a) applicable fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Depositary and (b) taxes withheld) to the Holders entitled thereto as of the ADS Record Date in proportion to the number of ADSs held as of the ADS Record Date. The Depositary shall distribute only such amount, however, as can be distributed without attributing to any Holder a fraction of one cent, and any balance not so distributed shall be held by the Depositary (without liability for interest thereon) and shall be added to and become part of the next sum received by the Depositary for distribution to Holders of ADSs outstanding at the time of the next distribution. If the Company, the Custodian or the Depositary is required to withhold and does withhold from any cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of any Deposited Securities an amount on account of taxes, duties or other governmental charges, the amount distributed to Holders on the ADSs representing such Deposited Securities shall be reduced accordingly. Such withheld amounts shall be forwarded by the Company, the Custodian or the Depositary to the relevant governmental authority. Evidence of payment thereof by the Company shall be forwarded by the Company to the Depositary upon request. The Depositary will hold any cash amounts it is unable to distribute in a non-interest bearing account for the benefit of the applicable Holders and Beneficial Owners of ADSs until the distribution can be effected or the funds that the Depositary holds must be escheated as unclaimed property in accordance with the laws of the relevant states of the United States. Upon the timely receipt by the Depositary of a notice from the Company that it intends to make a distribution that consists of a dividend in, or free distribution of Shares, the Depositary shall establish an ADS Record Date upon the terms described in Section 4.9 of the Deposit Agreement. Upon receipt of confirmation from the Custodian of the receipt of the Shares so distributed by the Company, the Depositary shall either (i) subject to Section 5.9 of the Deposit Agreement, distribute to the Holders as of the ADS Record Date in proportion to the number of ADSs held as of the ADS Record Date, additional ADSs, which represent in the aggregate the number of Shares received as such dividend, or free distribution, subject to the other terms of the Deposit Agreement (including, without limitation, (a) the applicable fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Depositary and (b) taxes), or (ii) if additional ADSs are not so distributed, take all actions necessary so that each ADS issued and outstanding after the ADS Record Date shall, to the extent permissible by law, thenceforth also represent rights and interest in the additional integral number of Shares distributed upon the Deposited Securities represented thereby (net of (a) the applicable fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Depositary, and (b) taxes). In lieu of delivering fractional ADSs, the Depositary shall sell the number of Shares or ADSs, as the case may be, represented by the aggregate of such fractions and distribute the net proceeds upon the terms set forth in Section 4.1 of the Deposit Agreement.
Company Common Stock “Company Common Stock” shall mean the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company.
Adjustments for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, etc If from time to time while this Agreement shall remain in force and effect there is any stock split-up, stock dividend, stock distribution or other reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which the Stockholder is entitled by reason of his ownership of Shares shall be immediately subject to the restrictions on transfer and other provisions of this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as such Shares.
