Treatment of Company Options Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt appropriate resolutions and take all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide that, at the Effective Time, each unexpired and unexercised Company Option shall become fully vested and exercisable and shall be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Company Option shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of such cancellation, payments in cash (subject to any applicable withholding or other Taxes required by applicable Law to be withheld) equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock previously subject to such Company Option multiplied by (ii) the amount by which the Option In-The-Money Amount, calculated as of the Effective Time and recalculated, if applicable, in connection with any recalculation of the Common Merger Consideration, exceeds the exercise price of such Company Option (for the avoidance of doubt, without duplication of any amounts previously paid to holders of such Company Options in accordance herewith). Any such amount payable hereunder with respect to any Company Option shall be referred to as an “Option Payment”, and the aggregate of all such amounts payable hereunder shall be referred to as the “Option Payments”. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent will make available to the Surviving Corporation the cash to be delivered in respect of the Option Payments based on the calculation of the Common Merger Consideration at the Effective Time (the “Closing Option Payments”). Option Payments following the Effective Time shall be made on or about the same dates, and subject to the same terms, as payments of the Merger Consideration to the holders of Company Capital Stock. Any Company Options shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, but shall only entitle such holder to the payment of the applicable Option Payments in accordance with this Section 2.6(d), which for the avoidance of doubt includes the right to receive payments in connection with any Excess Payment or any release of funds from the General Escrow Account or the Equityholders’ Representative Escrow Account. At the Effective Time, all Company Option Plans shall be terminated and no further Company Options shall be granted thereunder. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each holder of Company Options to enter into a written agreement effectuating the foregoing, and the payment of the Option Payment to each holder of Company Options shall be subject to such holder’s execution and delivery of such agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (such agreement, an “Option Holder Letter”).
Treatment of Company Stock Options (a) The Company promptly shall notify each holder of the Company Stock Options, in writing, of the Transactions in accordance with the Company Stock Plans (the “Option Holder Notice”). The Option Holder Notice shall (i) apprise the holders of outstanding Company Stock Options of their ability to exercise the Options in accordance with the Company Stock Plan prior to the Effective Time, (ii) disclose that, if not exercised, such Company Stock Options will terminate at the Effective Time and (iii) disclose that if any Company Stock Options are not exercised prior to the Effective Time or terminated as contemplated in clause (ii), the holders of such Company Stock Options will be entitled to receive the Option Merger Consideration in respect of such Company Stock Options. As of the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Stock Option shall be terminated by virtue of the Merger and each holder of a Company Stock Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, other than the right to receive, in respect of each such terminated Company Stock Option, a single lump sum payment (without interest and subject to the deduction and withholding of such amounts as Parent, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law) in cash an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Merger Consideration over (ii) the per share exercise price for such Company Stock Option (the “Option Merger Consideration”). Payment of the Option Merger Consideration to each of the holders of Company Stock Options entitled thereto shall be made as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any amounts withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by Parent, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Company Stock Option in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made. If the per share exercise price of any such Company Stock Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company Stock Option shall be canceled with a cash payment of $0.001 per share being made in respect of each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option, for each Company Stock Option rounded to the next highest full cent. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions required by the Company Stock Plans under which such Company Stock Options were granted to cause such Company Stock Plans and all Company Stock Options granted thereunder to terminate at the Effective Time, including adopting any plan amendments and resolutions and obtaining any required Consents, without paying any consideration or incurring any debts or obligations on behalf of the Company or the Surviving Entity.
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 Options “Company Options” shall mean all options to purchase Shares (whether granted by the Company pursuant to the Company Equity Plans, assumed by the Company in connection with any merger, acquisition or similar transaction or otherwise issued or granted).
Company Stock Options (i) Effective as of the Effective Time, each then outstanding option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (each a “Company Stock Option”), pursuant to the Company’s equity-based compensation plans (the “Company Stock Plans”) and the award agreements evidencing the grants thereunder, granted prior to the date of this Agreement to any current or former employee or director of, consultant or other service provider to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall immediately vest and become exercisable in accordance with the terms of the Company Stock Plans, shall be assumed by Parent and shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (an “Assumed Stock Option”) equal to (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole share); and the per share exercise price for Parent Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Assumed Stock Option shall be equal to (i) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Company Stock Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (ii) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent), provided, however, that such conversion and assumption of the Assumed Stock Options shall comply with the regulations and other binding guidance under Section 409A of the Code. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Assumed Stock Options shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including expiration date and exercise provisions after taking into account the accelerated vesting of the Company Stock Options as of the Effective Time as contemplated by the Company Stock Plans) as were applicable to the corresponding Company Stock Options immediately prior to the Effective Time.
Vested Company Options No Vested Company Options shall be assumed or continued by Parent and the Company in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby. Each Vested Company Option outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive at the Effective Time with respect to each share subject thereto, subject to the execution and delivery by such Company Option Holder of an option cancellation agreement (which shall include a release) in a form mutually acceptable to Parent and the Company (an “Option Cancellation Agreement”), an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the excess, if any, of the Per Share Common Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise in full of such Company Option over the per share exercise price of such Vested Company Option (such excess amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Vested Company Option Cash Out Amount”), subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 1.6. Vested Company Options with a per share exercise price greater than or equal to the Per Share Common Consideration shall be cancelled without consideration. The payment of the Vested Company Option Cash Out Amount to any holder of Vested Company Options shall be paid at such time(s) provided in this Agreement to the Surviving Corporation for further payment to the holders of Employee Company Options through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll processing system net of applicable Tax withholding and deductions, and in respect of Non-Employee Company Options, shall be paid to the Payment Agent for further payment to the Non-Employee Company Option Holders. For purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of consideration payable in respect of each Vested Company Option pursuant to this Section 1.3(c), (x) all shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise in full of the Vested Company Options held by each holder of Vested Company Options shall be aggregated and (y) the amount of cash to be paid to each such holder of Vested Company Options shall be rounded down to the nearest whole cent.
Treatment of Company Warrants Each outstanding warrant to purchase Company Common Shares (the “Company Warrants”), whether or not exercisable at the Effective Time, shall, at the option of the holder thereof: (i) be surrendered to Parent in exchange for an amount equal to (A)the per share Consideration multiplied by (B) the number of Company Common Shares the holder of such Company Warrant would have received had such holder exercised such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Closing (assuming for the purposes of this calculation, the cashless exercise of such Company Warrant); or (ii) remain outstanding following the Effective Time in accordance with the terms thereof (each such Company Warrant that remains outstanding following the Effective Time, a “Company Converted Warrant”). For the avoidance of doubt, following the Effective Time, Company Converted Warrants will, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 thereof, represent a right to purchase, for a price equal to the Exercise Price (as defined in such Company Converted Warrant) multiplied by the number of Company Common Shares for which such Company Converted Warrant may have been exercised immediately prior to the Closing, (I) an amount of cash equal to the Cash Consideration multiplied by the number of Company Common Shares for which such Company Converted Warrant may have been exercised immediately prior to the Closing and (II) that number of Parent Common Shares equal to the number of Company Common Shares for which such Company Converted Warrant may have been exercised immediately prior to the Closing multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, together with any cash paid in lieu of a fractional share in accordance with the terms of the Company Converted Warrants; provided, that, the number of Parent Common Shares deliverable upon the exercise of the Company Converted Warrants following the Closing shall be subject to adjustment for events subsequent to the Closing on terms economically equivalent to those provided in the Company Converted Warrants. Also for the avoidance of doubt, upon exercise, to the extent applicable, the holder of any Company Converted Warrant shall be entitled to receive any evidences of indebtedness, assets (including cash) or other property such holder would have been entitled to receive in lieu of an adjustment to the Exercise Price (as defined in the Company Warrants) in accordance with the terms of such Company Converted Warrant.
Cancellation of Company-Owned Stock Each share of Company Common Stock owned by the Company or the Company Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically canceled and extinguished without any exchange thereof and without any further action on the part of Buyer, Merger Sub or the Company.
Cancellation of Company Common Stock Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is held by any wholly owned Company Subsidiary, by Parent or by any Parent Subsidiary shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.
