F1 In order to mitigate the impact of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 6, 2023, by and among Cerevel Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (the "Issuer"), AbbVie Inc., Symphony Harlan LLC and Symphony Harlan Merger Sub Inc., the restricted stock units ("RSUs") held by the Reporting Person vested in full on December 19, 2023, subject to certain repayment conditions in the event that the Reporting Person's employment terminates for any reason prior to the date the RSUs otherwise would vest.
F2 Each RSU represented the contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock.
F3 The Issuer has adopted a "sell-to-cover" policy to satisfy the tax withholding obligations of the Reporting Person. The sales reported on this Form 4 represent the number of shares required to be sold by the Reporting Person to cover tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of RSUs.
F4 The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These shares were sold in multiple transactions at per share prices ranging from $41.36 to $41.50.
