The Orange Florida Directors' Stock Deferral Plan is a program designed specifically for directors of Nor west Corp., a financial services company. This plan allows directors to defer the receipt of their stock compensation until a later date, providing them with increased flexibility and potential financial benefits. Under this plan, directors have the option to defer a portion or all of their stock awards, allowing for a tax-deferred growth of their investments until they choose to receive them. This offers directors the opportunity to maximize the value of their compensation by delaying its receipt until retirement or other predetermined milestones. There are several types of the Orange Florida Directors' Stock Deferral Plan available for directors to choose from based on their individual preferences and financial goals. These options include: 1. Deferred Stock Units (DSS): Directors can elect to receive their stock awards in the form of DSS. DSS represents a specific number of shares that will be accumulated and held on the director's behalf until the designated payout date. The value of these DSS is tied to the performance of Nor west Corp.'s stock over time. 2. Cash Deferral: Directors may choose to defer their stock awards and receive an equivalent cash amount at a later date. This option provides flexibility and allows directors to allocate their compensation according to their financial needs or investment strategies. 3. Combination Deferral: Directors can take advantage of a combination of DSS and cash deferral. This allows for a customized approach, combining the benefits of stock-based growth potential and immediate cash flow. The Orange Florida Directors' Stock Deferral Plan serves as a valuable tool for Nor west Corp. directors by offering them the ability to tailor their compensation package according to their unique financial objectives. Through various deferral options, directors can optimize their stock awards, potentially realizing significant financial rewards over the long term.
