Explanation of responses
- F1At the Effective Time, (i) each issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Company was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $14.00 in cash, without interest (the "Merger Consideration"), and (ii) each outstanding restricted stock award and restricted stock unit award became fully vested (in the case of awards that vested solely based on continued service) or became vested to the extent provided for in the applicable award agreement (in the case of awards that vested based on performance conditions for which the performance period was not complete, with performance determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement) and was cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each vested share of common stock of the Company subject to such award, in each case subject to applicable withholding taxes.
- F2Represents performance-based restricted stock unit awards that became vested and were converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, subject to applicable withholding taxes, as provided in the Merger Agreement and as described in footnote 1.
- F3At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to acquire shares of common stock of the Company became fully vested (to the extent unvested) and was cancelled and converted into the right to receive the product of (1) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the applicable exercise price of such option, multiplied by (2) the total number of shares of common stock of the Company subject to such option. Any options that had an exercise price per share that was equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration were cancelled for no consideration.
