This excerpt taken from the VZ DEF 14A filed Mar 23, 2009. “Double-Trigger” Change in Control Provision As noted previously, the 2009 LTIP provides for a “double-trigger” for the vesting of any outstanding awards following a change in control (as defined in the 2009 LTIP). In order for the awards to vest and become payable, (i) a change in control must occur, and (ii) within 12 months of the change in control, the participant must lose his or her position with the Company. The 2009 LTIP provides that, if within 12 months after a change in control, a participant is either involuntarily terminated without “cause” or leaves his or her position for “good reason” (both of these terms are defined in the terms of the award agreement), any outstanding stock options and SARs will become exercisable and all other awards will become vested and will be paid at their targeted award level. However, restricted stock units and performance share units will not be paid until their regularly scheduled time under the applicable award agreement.
