This excerpt taken from the NKE 10-K filed Jul 27, 2009. SPAIN Nature of Grant. This provision supplements Section 9 of the Agreement: In accepting the Option, the Optionee consents to participate in the Plan and acknowledges that he or she has received a copy of the Plan. The Optionee understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and discretionally decided to grant stock options under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not economically or otherwise bind the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate. Consequently, the Optionee understands that the Option is granted on the assumption and condition that the Option and any shares acquired upon exercise of the Option are not part of any employment contract (either with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation) or any other right whatsoever. In addition, the Optionee understands that the Option would not be granted to the Optionee but for the assumptions and conditions referred to herein; thus, the Optionee acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then the grant of this Option shall be null and void.
Exchange Control Information. The Optionee must declare the acquisition of shares to the Dirección General de Politica Comercial y de Inversiones Extranjeras (the DGPCIE) of the Ministerio de Economia for statistical purposes. The Optionee must also declare ownership of any shares with the Directorate of Foreign Transactions each January while the shares are owned. In addition, if the Optionee wishes to import the ownership title of any shares (i.e., share certificates) into Spain, he or she must declare the importation of such securities to the DGPCIE. When receiving foreign currency payments derived from the ownership of shares (i.e., cash dividends or sale proceeds), the Optionee must inform the financial institution receiving the payment of the basis upon which such payment is made. The Optionee will need to provide the financial institution with the following information: (i) the Optionees name, address and fiscal identification number; (ii) the name and corporate domicile of the Company; (iii) the amount of the payment; (iv) the currency used; (v) the country of origin; (vi) the reasons for the payment; and (vii) additional information that may be required. |
