This excerpt taken from the NKE 10-Q filed Jan 7, 2009. Dividends and Other Distributions;
Reinvestment. Stock dividends and other distributions in
shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company on shares held by the Custodian
shall be issued to the Custodian and held by it for the account of the
respective participants entitled thereto. Cash distributions other
than dividends, if any, on shares held by the Custodian will be paid currently
to the participants entitled thereto. Cash dividends, if any, on
shares held by the Custodian will be reinvested in Class B Common Stock on
behalf of the participants entitled thereto. The Custodian shall
establish a separate account for each participant for the purpose of holding
shares acquired through reinvestment of the participant’s
dividends. On each dividend payment date, the Custodian shall receive
from the Company the aggregate amount of dividends payable with respect to all
shares held by the Custodian for participants’ accounts under the
Plan. As soon as practicable thereafter, the Custodian shall use all
of the funds so received to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock in the
public market, and shall then allocate such shares (including fractional shares)
among the dividend reinvestment accounts of the participants pro rata based on
the amount of dividends reinvested for each participant. A
participant may sell or transfer shares in the participant’s dividend
reinvestment account in accordance with paragraph 9 above, except that there
shall be no holding period required for a transfer from a dividend reinvestment
account.
