•

each outstanding Company RSU that was not vested at the Effective Time was cancelled and converted solely into the contingent right to receive a cash award equal to (1) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such unvested Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (2) the Per Share Price, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment, which resulting payment will be subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as applied to such unvested Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, with payment forfeited to the extent vesting is not satisfied.

 

•

each outstanding share of restricted stock of the Company (“Company Restricted Stock”), excluding shares of Company Restricted Stock that vested immediately prior to or as of the Effective Time including as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, was cancelled and converted into the contingent right to receive a cash award equal to (1) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such outstanding Company Restricted Stock award immediately prior to the Effective Time (as determined in accordance with the applicable award agreement), multiplied by (2) the Per Share Price, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment, which resulting payment will be subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as applied to such Company Restricted Stock award immediately prior to the Effective Time, with payment forfeited to the extent vesting is not satisfied.

 

•

each of the Company’s outstanding options to purchase shares of Common Stock that was vested at the Effective Time was cancelled and converted into the right to receive (without interest) an amount in cash equal to (1) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such vested option multiplied by (2) the excess, if any, of (a) the Per Share Price over (b) the exercise price per share of such vested option, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment.

 

•

each of the Company’s outstanding options of the Company to purchase shares of Common Stock that was not vested at the Effective Time, was cancelled and converted into the contingent right to receive a cash award equal to (1) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such unvested option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (2) the excess, if any, of (a) the Per Share Price over (b) the exercise price per share of such unvested option, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment, which resulting payment will be subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as applied to such unvested options immediately prior to the Effective Time.

 

•

any of the Company’s options (whether vested or unvested) to purchase shares of Common Stock that has an exercise price per share that is greater than or equal to the Per Share Price was cancelled at the Effective Time for no consideration or payment.

 

In connection with the Merger, the Company is terminating all offers and sales of its securities registered pursuant to its existing registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including the Registration Statements, and deregistering any of the securities which remain unsold under the Registration Statements. In accordance with undertakings made by the Company in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities which remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, effective upon filing hereof, the Registration Statements are hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities as of the date hereof.
