Dave McNary reported in Variety on July 9:
"In a bid to nudge SAG toward cutting a deal, the majors have included a $10 million sweetener to their final offer – on the condition that the guild ratify the pact by Aug. 15. The AMPTP has told SAG that the pay increases offered in the deal would be retroactive to July 1 as long as the guild can get the deal ratified by its 120,000 members on or before Aug. 15.
News of the incentive emerged Wednesday with the majors prepping contingency plans for declaring the sides to be at an "impasse" should SAG remain unmoved. At that point, if there's no strike, the majors can implement the terms of the "last, best and final" offer that it handed the guild on June 30, as dictated by labor law."
