Dividend Clawback

A company issued a dividend. That dividend had strings attached, which allowed the company, for say, 90 days, to whisper, "we were kidding." At that point, the company is allowed to claw back the dividend it just sent out. Typically, these provisos happen in dividends which were paid in kind, i.e. stock. Not so much when they were paid in cash.
