This excerpt taken from the ROST DEF 14A filed Apr 14, 2008. Restricted Stock Units.
The Committee may grant restricted stock
units under the 2008 Plan, which represent rights to receive shares of our
common stock at a future date determined in accordance with the participant’s
award agreement. No monetary payment is required for receipt of restricted stock
units or the shares issued in settlement of the award, the consideration for
which is furnished in the form of the participant’s services to the Company. The
Committee may grant restricted stock unit awards subject to the attainment of
one or more performance goals similar to those described below in connection
with performance awards, or may make the awards subject to vesting conditions
similar to those applicable to restricted stock awards and subject to the
minimum vesting requirements described above under “Full Value Award Limits.”
Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, a participant will forfeit any
restricted stock units which have not vested prior to the participant’s
16 termination of service. Participants have no voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends with respect to restricted stock unit awards until shares of common stock are issued in settlement of such awards. However, the Committee may grant restricted stock units that entitle their holders to dividend equivalent rights, which are rights to receive additional restricted stock units for a number of shares whose value is equal to any cash dividends the Company pays. |
