At the Effective Time, all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Shares") were cancelled and converted into a right to receive $19.00 in cash (the "Merger Consideration") without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes.

5. At the Effective Time, all Company Options whether vested or unvested, were cancelled and each holder of such Company Option was entitled to receive (without interest), an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the number of Shares subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of (A) the Offer Price of $19.00 over (B) the exercise price per Share of such Company Option, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment.
