What are 'protection-based vesting provisions'?

Protection-based vesting provisions are clauses within an award agreement that protect the executive from losing out on their awards under certain adverse circumstances, such as a significant downturn in the company's stock price or specific market events. They can ensure vesting continues or is adjusted even if performance targets are not met due to these protected events.
