• F13Each "LTIP Option," which represents a non-qualified stock option granted pursuant to the 2014 supplemental long-term incentive program that is not vested in accordance with its terms and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, was assumed and converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of UnitedHealth common stock, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to the Merger, equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Issuer Common Stock subject to such option, multiplied by (ii) the Equity Award Conversion Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded down to the next lower whole number of shares, and with performance-vesting conditions equitably adjusted pursuant to the Merger Agreement to reflect the Merger.

• F4The RSUs vest in four equal installments on May 11, 2015; April 11, 2016; April 11, 2017; and April 11, 2018, unless deferred.

The exercise price per share of such option will be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Per Share Merger Consideration by (B) the Equity Award Conversion Ratio, with any fractional cents rounded up to the next higher number of whole cents.
