Cash-Settled Options Clause Samples

The Cash-Settled Options clause defines the mechanism by which options are settled through a cash payment rather than the physical delivery of the underlying asset. In practice, when an option is exercised, the party entitled to payment receives the difference between the market price and the strike price in cash, rather than receiving the actual shares or commodities. This approach simplifies the settlement process, reduces transaction costs, and eliminates the logistical challenges of transferring physical assets, thereby providing efficiency and flexibility for both parties involved.

Cash-Settled Options. The Company shall take all requisite action so that, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Mergers and pursuant to the Stock Option Plan and the 2018 Stock Option Plan, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, each Optionholder’s Cash-Settled Options that are outstanding pursuant to the Stock Option Plan or the 2018 Stock Option Plan or otherwise immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to: (x) the product of (1) the number of Cash-Settled Options multiplied by (2) the Per Share Amount, minus (y) the portion of the Aggregate Option Exercise Price attributable to such Cash-Settled Options (the “Option-Based Cash Merger Consideration”), minus (z) the Applicable Withholding Amount. Prior to the Closing, the Company and the board of directors of the Company shall adopt resolutions and take such other actions as necessary or appropriate to implement the provisions of this Section 2.7(a)(i) and the Company shall otherwise take all actions necessary so that, at the Effective Time, all Cash-Settled Options under the Stock Option Plan and the 2018 Stock Option Plan that are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall have been terminated and extinguished without any ongoing liability to the Surviving Subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the per-share exercise price under any Cash-Settled Option is equal to or greater than the Per Share Amount, such Option shall be cancelled as of the Effective Time without payment therefor and shall have no further force or effect. Other than the Potential Post-Closing Consideration, payment pursuant to this Section 2.7(a) shall constitute the sole consideration payable in respect of the Cash-Settled Options. To the extent the fractional amount of the Per Share Amount does not end in a whole cent, the aggregate cash consideration payable to each Optionholder pursuant to this Section 2.7(a)(i) shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
