IV. | 事件 觸發本政策下的回收 |

V. | 超額 補償:應予追回之金額 |
應恢復的賠償金額為受保人收取的賠償金額超過基於重申金額計算的賠償金額之差額,由委員會確定。根據本政策,賠償將在達到任何適用的財務報告措施的財政年度內被視為“收取”,即使該賠償的付款、授予或發放發生在該財政年度結束後。根據本政策要求追回的金額將基於稅前計算。賠償金的收取日期取決於該賠償金獎勵的條款。例如:
a. | 如果授予的補償獎勵,無論全部或部分,是基於對財務報告控制項的滿足,則該獎勵將被視為在該控制項被滿足的會計年度中收到。 授予 如果授予的股權補償獎勵的發生時 滿足; | |
b. | 如果授予的股權補償獎勵的發生 授予 則該獎勵將被視為在該控制項被滿足的財政年度中收到。 only 當財務報告措施績效條件達成時,則獎勵將被視為在該財政期間收到 授權; | |
c. | 如果 盈利 如果非股權激勵計劃獎勵的薪酬是基於相關財務報告措施績效目標的達成,則非股權激勵計劃獎勵將被視為在達成該績效目標的財政年度收到 滿足時並且 | |
d. | 如果 盈利 若補償金現金獎勵的核算是基於財務報告控制項績效目標的滿足,則該現金獎勵將被視為在該控制項成就時的財政年度收到 達成. |
特此明瞭,若受影響的會計重編對所收取報酬的金額之影響無法直接從所受覆蓋會計重編的資料中計算出來(例如,若這種重編對公司股價的影響不明確),則該超出的報酬金額應根據委員會對覆蓋會計重編對影響報酬所依賴之股價或總股東回報的合理估計來確定。公司應保留有關確定超額金額的文件並提供該文件給紐交所美國分公司(紐交所美國板塊”).
VI. | 恢復的方法 |
委員會將以其唯一的判斷決定,在此處恢復超額補償的方法,這些方法可能包括但不限於:

c. | 抵銷 從公司應付給受覆蓋執行官的任何補償中沖銷已收回的金額; | |
d. | 取消 已授予或未授予的股權獎勵; 和/或 | |
e. | 採取 根據委員會決定的法律允許的任何其他補救和追回行動。 |

VII. | 不切實際 |
根據該政策,委員會將根據本政策追回任何超額薪酬,除非該追回實施不切實際,由委員會依據上市標準確定。特別明白,只有在以下情況下才會被認為追回不切實際:(A)支付給第三方協助執行該政策的直接費用將超過要追回的金額(在得出任何錯誤授予的薪酬金額追回將不切實際的結論之前,委員會將做出合理的嘗試來追回這些錯誤授予的薪酬金額,記錄這些合理的嘗試來追回並將該文件提供給紐交所美國分部);(B)追回將違反本國法律,該法律在2022年11月28日之前已採納(在根據違反本國法律將追回任何錯誤授予的薪酬金額是否不切實際的結論之前,委員會應獲得本國法律顧問的意見,該意見獲得適用於公司普通股交易的國家證券交易所或協會證明是接受的,追回將導致違反的意見,並必須將此意見提供給交易所或協會);或(C)追回可能導致本公司註冊員工廣泛可獲得福利的合格退休計劃無法滿足26 U.S.C. 401(a)(13)或26 U.S.C. 411(a)以及其頒布的規定。
