F2 Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each share of the Issuer's common stock ("Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive $27.05 in cash, subject to any required tax withholding in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.
F3 Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each unvested restricted stock unit ("RSU") award, including each unvested award of performance-based RSUs, was automatically cancelled and converted solely into the contingent right to receive a cash payment equal to the product of (i) the number of RSUs subject to such unvested RSU award immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) $27.05, with such converted cash award generally subject to the same vesting terms and conditions that applied to the corresponding RSU prior to the Effective Time, with payment forfeited to the extent vesting is not satisfied, except if the holder's service is terminated without cause.
