On the Closing Date, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving the merger (the "Merger") as a wholly owned subsidiary of Keysight. At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each share of the Issuer's common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than, if any, shares owned by Keysight or Merger Sub, or by any subsidiary of Keysight, Merger Sub, or the Issuer (except to the extent held on behalf of a third party)), was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive $19.65 per share in cash (the "per share merger consideration"), without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes required by law. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit award ("RSU") that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time automatically became fully vested and was cancelled in consideration for the right to receive a cash payment equal to the product of (a) the total number of shares of common stock subject to such RSU and (b) the per share merger consideration, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes required by law. The Merger is more fully described in the Issuer's definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on March 14, 2017.
