("Alexion") and Odyssey Merger Sub Inc. ("Merger Sub") (the "Merger Agreement"), on July 2, 2020, Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Alexion (the "Merger"). At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), these shares were canceled in exchange for $18.00 per share in cash, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes.

2. At the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit ("RSU") was accelerated and canceled as of immediately prior to, and contingent upon, the Effective Time, in exchange for the right to receive a cash amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares deliverable under such RSU multiplied by (ii) $18.00.

3. At the Effective Time, each of these unvested and outstanding options was accelerated, canceled and converted into the right to receive a cash amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares that are subject to such options and (ii) $18.00 less the applicable exercise price per share of such options, subject to any applicable withholding or other taxes required by applicable law.
