TIME WARNER INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
contingent (unfunded) right to receive shares of Company common stock at the end of a performance period of three years
based on the actual performance level achieved by the Company. Stock options and RSUs generally provide for accelerated
vesting upon an election to retire after reaching a specified age and years of service, as well as in certain additional
circumstances for non-employee directors.
Holders of RSUs are generally entitled to receive cash dividend equivalents based on the regular quarterly cash dividends
declared and paid by the Company during the period that the RSUs are outstanding. Beginning with RSU grants made in
2013, the dividend equivalent payment for holders of RSUs subject to a performance condition is made in cash following the
satisfaction of the performance condition. Holders of PSUs also are entitled to receive dividend equivalents based on the
regular quarterly cash dividends declared and paid by the Company during the period that the PSUs are outstanding. The
dividend equivalent payment is made in cash following the vesting of the PSUs (generally following the end of the applicable
performance period) and is based on the number of shares that vest and are paid out. Holders of stock options do not receive
dividends or dividend equivalent payments.
Upon the (i) exercise of a stock option, (ii) vesting of an RSU, (iii) vesting of a PSU or (iv) grant of restricted stock,
shares of Time Warner common stock may be issued either from authorized but unissued shares or from treasury stock.
In connection with the Time Separation and in accordance with existing antidilution provisions in the Company’s equity
plans, the number of stock options, RSUs and target PSUs outstanding at the Distribution Date and the exercise prices of
such stock options were prospectively adjusted to maintain the value of those awards subsequent to the Time Separation (the
“Adjustment”). The changes in the number of shares subject to outstanding equity awards and the exercise prices were
determined by comparing the value of such awards immediately prior to the Time Separation to the value of such awards
immediately after the Time Separation. Accordingly, the number of shares subject to each equity award outstanding as of the
Distribution Date was increased by multiplying such number of shares by a factor of approximately 1.04, while the per share
exercise price of each stock option was decreased by dividing such exercise price by a factor of approximately 1.04. The
adjustments resulted in an increase of approximately 2 million shares subject to outstanding equity awards following the
Time Separation. The adjustments to the outstanding equity awards did not result in any additional compensation expense.
Other information pertaining to each category of equity-based compensation appears below.
