Stock Warrants Subject to Board approval, Executive shall be granted stock warrants (the "Two Million Warrants") to purchase an aggregate of Two Million (2,000,000) shares of common stock of the Company. The Two Million Warrants are deemed to be of record as of January 1, 2007. The Two Million Warrants shall be granted in accordance with, and subject to the following:
Stock Options; Warrants (a) At the Effective Time and without any action on the part of the parties hereto, (i) the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan, the 1993 Incentive Stock Option, Nonqualified Stock Option and Restricted Stock Purchase Plan (together, the “Company Stock Plans”) and (ii) each unexercised and unexpired stock option that is then outstanding under the Company Stock Plans or any other plan or arrangement under which the Company or its subsidiaries grants stock options, whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested (the “Company Options”), shall be assumed by Parent and such Company Options shall be converted into options to purchase Parent Common Stock (individually an “Assumed Option” and collectively the “Assumed Options”). Each Assumed Option shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions as set forth in the applicable Company Stock Plan and any agreement evidencing the grant of such Assumed Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that, as of the Effective Time, (i) the Assumed Options shall be exercisable for whole shares of Parent Common Stock, and the number of such shares shall be equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Option, whether or not exercisable, immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock, (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Option shall be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Assumed Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent, (iii) all references in the Company Stock Plan and the agreement evidencing the Assumed Option to the Company shall be deemed to be references to Parent and (iv) all references in the Company Stock Plan and the agreement evidencing the Company Option to Company Common Stock shall be deemed to be references to Parent Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.2, the conversion of any Assumed Options (regardless of whether such options qualify as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) into options to purchase Parent Common Stock shall be made in such a manner as would not constitute a “modification” of such Assumed Options within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code.
Options, Warrants, Reserved Shares Except for (i) the warrant issued to Value Partners Greater China High Yield Income Fund in March 2019, (ii) any A Shares (and options and warrants therefor) reserved for issuance to the employees, directors, and consultants of the Group Companies pursuant to any equity incentive plan that may be adopted from time to time by the Company, (iii) as provided in the Restated Articles, and (iv) any A Shares to be issued to certain potential investors for this financing round on or around April 30, 2019, including the transactions contemplated herein, there are no options, warrants, conversion privileges, agreements, or rights of any kind with respect to the issuance or purchase of the Purchased Shares or any other securities of the Company. Apart from any exceptions noted in the Restated Articles, no outstanding shares (including the Purchased Shares), or shares issuable upon exercise or exchange of any outstanding options, warrants, or other shares issuable by the Company, are subject to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, or other rights of any kind to purchase such shares (whether in favor of the Company or any other person).
Company Options As of the Transaction Effective Time, by virtue of the Transaction Merger, each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Transaction Effective Time, shall be assumed by the Purchaser and shall be converted into a right (an “Adjusted Option”) to acquire Purchaser Common Stock in accordance with this Section 2.8(d). Each such Adjusted Option as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Company Option immediately prior to the Transaction Effective Time, including the same vesting schedule as the applicable Company Option (and no Company Option shall have its vesting accelerated in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (provided, that no Adjusted Options shall be exercisable prior to the earlier to occur of (i) the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) sixty (60) days after the Company Option holder’s termination of employment or termination of service with the Purchaser and its “affiliates” (within the meaning of the Company Stock Plan)), except that as of the Transaction Effective Time, the Adjusted Option as so assumed and converted shall be exercisable for that number of whole shares of Purchaser Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of Purchaser Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient of (a) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock of such Company Option, divided by (b) the Exchange Ratio; provided that the exercise price and/or the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock that may be purchased under the Adjusted Option shall be further adjusted to the extent required to remain compliant with, or exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; and provided further, that in the case of Company Options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, the exercise price and the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock subject to the Adjusted Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424 of the Code and the Department of Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. Further, with respect to three percent (3%) of the shares which can be acquired under each Adjusted Option (such 3%, the “Reserved Portion”), in addition to the above-described exercisability restrictions applicable to the Adjusted Option, the Reserved Portion shall (A) in no event be exercisable until after the Expiration Date, (B) immediately after 11:59 p.m. New York City time on the Expiration Date, the Reserved Portion shall be forfeited in the same proportion that the number of Escrow Shares that are not released from the Escrow Account to the Exchange Agent for distribution to Company Holders, net of the number of Escrow Shares retained for Pending Claims, bears to the aggregate number of Escrow Shares deposited in the Escrow Account at the Closing (subject to equitable adjustment for stock dividends, recapitalizations, stock exchanges and other similar transactions) and (C) with respect to the portion of the Reserved Portion equal to the number of Escrow Shares retained after the Expiration Date for Pending Claims divided by the aggregate number of Escrow Shares deposited in the Escrow Account at the Closing (subject to equitable adjustment for stock dividends, recapitalizations, stock exchanges and other similar transactions) (the “Pending Reserved Portion”), (I) such Pending Reserved Portion shall continue to not be exercisable until after the final resolution of all Pending Claims, and (II) upon the final resolution of all Pending Claims, the Pending Reserved Portion shall be forfeited in the same proportion that the number of Escrow Shares that were retained for Pending Claims that are not released from the Escrow Account to the Exchange Agent for distribution to Company Holders (or, to the extent required by Section 2.9(h), to the Purchaser for distribution to such Company Holders) bears to the aggregate number of Escrow Shares that were retained for Pending Claims. For the avoidance of doubt, the period of exercisability of an Adjusted Option, including the Reserved Portion, shall not be extended. For purposes of this Agreement, “Exchange Ratio” means the ratio at which a share of Company Common Stock is exchanged for shares of Purchaser Common Stock at the Transaction Effective Time, as calculated pursuant to Section 2.7. From and after the Transaction Effective Time, (i) all references to the Company (including any references relating to a “Sale Event” involving the Company) in the Company Stock Plan and in each agreement evidencing any outstanding award of Company Options shall be deemed to refer to the Purchaser and (ii) the aggregate number of awards permitted to be issued or granted under the Company Stock Plan shall be adjusted to an amount equal to (A) the aggregate number of shares subject to awards permitted to be issued or granted under the Company Stock Plan immediately prior to the Transaction Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio. Prior to the Transaction Effective Time, the Company Stock Plan shall be amended, to the extent necessary, to reflect the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.8(d), including the conversion of the Company Options and the substitution of the Purchaser for the Company thereunder to the extent appropriate to effectuate the assumption of such Company Stock Plan by the Purchaser. Promptly after the Closing, the Purchaser shall take all action necessary or appropriate in accordance with applicable securities Laws to have available for issuance under an effective registration statement filed with the SEC a sufficient number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock for delivery upon exercise or vesting of the Adjusted Options. As of the Transaction Effective Time, except as provided in this Section 2.8(d), all rights under any Company Option and any provision of the Company Stock Plan providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest in respect of the capital stock of the Company shall be cancelled. The Company shall ensure that, as of and after the Transaction Effective Time, except as provided in this Section 2.8(d), no Person shall have any rights under the Company Stock Plan.
Company Warrants Each warrant to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (a “Company Warrant”) granted under a warrant agreement of the Company that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, cease to represent a right to purchase shares of Company Common Stock and shall at the election of Parent and at the Effective Time, either represent a right to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock or be converted into a warrant to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock (a “Parent Warrant”), in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Company Warrant. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all action necessary to enable Parent to make either of such elections. All Company Warrants issued to Parent and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, be cancelled and shall cease to exist. The number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each such Company Warrant or Parent Warrant, as the case may be, shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to each such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up, if necessary, to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock, and such Company Warrant or Parent Warrant, as the case may be shall have an exercise price per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the per share exercise price specified in such Company Warrant divided by the Exchange Ratio. Parent shall reserve for issuance a number of shares of Parent Common Stock at least equal to the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that will be subject to Parent Warrants as a result of the assumption by Parent of Company Warrants as contemplated by this Section 2.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustment to the number of shares receivable upon exercise of a Parent Warrant or a Company Warrant or to the exercise price pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall not be duplicative of any such adjustments that occur pursuant to the terms of the underlying Company Warrant.
Options; Warrants Each option, warrant or other right to purchase shares of Delaware Common Stock, which are outstanding at the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into and become an option, warrant or right to purchase one share of Nevada Common Stock at an exercise or purchase price per share equal to the exercise or purchase price applicable to the option, warrant or other right to purchase Delaware Common Stock.
Company Stock Option Plans Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Company Stock Option Plans) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as are required to effect the transactions contemplated by Section 2.10 in respect of all outstanding Options and thereafter the Board of Directors of the Company (or any such committee) shall adopt any such additional resolutions and take such additional actions as are required in furtherance of the foregoing.
Company Option Plans At the Effective Time, all options (the "Company Options") then outstanding, whether or not vested and exercisable, under the Company's 1982 Stock Option Plan, 1992 Stock Option Plan, 1993 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors and the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, in each case as in effect on the date hereof (collectively, the "Company Option Plans"), shall be assumed by Parent. Each Company Option assumed by Parent, other than Company Options issued pursuant to the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, shall be subject to, and exercisable upon, the same terms and conditions as under the applicable Company Option Plan and the applicable option agreement issued thereunder, except that (a) each assumed Company Option shall be exercisable for, and represent the right to acquire, that number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio; and (b) the option price per share of Parent Common Stock subject to each assumed Company Option shall be an amount equal to (i) the option price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). The Company represents and warrants that each of the foregoing actions may be taken and effected by the Company without the consent of any holder of Company Options. Each assumed purchase right under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan shall continue to have, and be subject to, the terms and conditions set forth in the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the documents governing the assumed purchase right, except that the purchase price of such shares of Parent Common Stock for each respective purchase date under each assumed purchase right shall be the lower of (i) the quotient determined by dividing eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of Company Common Stock on the offering date of each assumed offering period by the Exchange Ratio or (ii) eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of the Parent Common Stock on each purchase date of each assumed offering period occurring after the Effective Time (with the number of shares rounded to the nearest whole share and the purchase price rounded to the nearest whole cent). The assumed purchase rights shall be exercised at such times following the Effective Time as set forth in the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan and each participant shall, accordingly, be issued shares of Parent Common Stock at such times pursuant to the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan shall terminate with the exercise of the last assumed purchase right, and no additional purchase rights shall be granted under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan following the Effective Time. Parent agrees that from and after the Effective Time, employees of the Surviving Corporation may participate in Parent's employee stock purchase plan, subject to the terms and conditions of such plan. The adjustment provided herein with respect to Company Options shall be and is intended to be effected in a manner which is consistent with Section 424(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The duration, vesting schedule, exercisability and other terms of each Company Option immediately after the Effective Time shall be the same as the corresponding terms in effect immediately before the Effective Time, except that all references to Company in the Company Option Plans (and the corresponding references in the option agreement documenting such option) shall be deemed to be references to Parent. Except as set forth in Section 3.2(d) of the Disclosure Schedule (as defined in Article III hereof), vesting of Company Options shall not be accelerated as a result of the Merger. Continuous employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries shall be credited to the optionee for purposes of determining the vesting of all assumed Company Options after the Effective Time. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Time, Parent will issue to each holder of an assumed Company Option notice of the foregoing assumption by Parent. Parent shall file with the SEC, no later than thirty (30) business days after the Effective Time, a Registration Statement on Form S-8 relating to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to the Company Options assumed by Parent in accordance with this Section 2.6.
Company Stock Options At the Effective Time, each Company Stock --------------------- Option shall be deemed to have been assumed by Evergreen, without further action by Evergreen, and shall thereafter be deemed an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Company Stock Option, that number of shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock that would have been received in respect of such Company Stock Option if it had been exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (such Company Stock Options assumed by Evergreen, the "Assumed Chancellor Stock Options"); provided, however, that, for -------- ------- each optionholder, (i) the aggregate fair market value of Surviving Corporation Common Stock subject to Assumed Chancellor Stock Options immediately after the Effective Time shall not exceed the aggregate exercise price thereof by more than the excess of the aggregate fair market value of Company Common Stock subject to Company Stock Options immediately before the Effective Time over the aggregate exercise price thereof and (ii) on a share-by-share comparison, the ratio of the exercise price of the Assumed Chancellor Stock Option to the fair market value of the Surviving Corporation Common Stock immediately after the Effective Time is no more favorable to the optionholder than the ratio of the exercise price of the Company Stock Option to the fair market value of the Company Common Stock immediately before the Effective Time; and provided, -------- further, that no fractional shares shall be issued on the exercise of such ------- Assumed Chancellor Stock Option and, in lieu thereof, the holder of such Assumed Chancellor Stock Option shall only be entitled to a cash payment in the amount of such fraction multiplied by the closing price per share of Surviving Corporation Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market on the business day immediately prior to the date of such exercise.
