(the "Company") and Abbott Laboratories, at the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (the "Effective Time"), each of these shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") was converted into the right to receive $51.00 (the "Merger Consideration").
F2Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each outstanding Employee Stock Option, whether vested or unvested, was canceled and converted into the right to receive a lump-sum cash payment equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Employee Stock Option has not been exercised and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of such Employee Stock Option.
F3Each Restricted Stock Unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Common Stock. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each outstanding Restricted Stock Unit was canceled and converted into the right to receive a lump-sum cash payment equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Restricted Stock Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Merger Consideration.
