- F2Includes 14,299 shares of restricted stock. At the Effective Time, each outstanding restricted stock award in respect of Company Common Stock subject solely to service-based vesting, repurchase or other lapse restriction vested and was converted into the right to receive (without interest) the Per Share Merger Consideration.
