3. At the Effective Time, each outstanding option, whether vested or unvested, was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount of cash equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of common stock underlying such option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the amount, if any, by which the Merger Consideration exceeds the exercise price per share of such option, subject to any applicable withholding taxes and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

At the Effective Time, (a) 50% of each outstanding award of restricted stock units ("RSUs") that was granted on or after December 6, 2023 was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of shares underlying such RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration, subject to any applicable withholding taxes and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, and (b) the remaining 50% was assumed by Parent and converted into RSUs with respect to shares of the Parent's common stock in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

5. At the Effective Time, each outstanding award of performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs") was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of shares subject to such PSUs, determined assuming that the applicable performance goals had been deemed to be achieved at the greater of target and actual level of performance, multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration, subject to any applicable withholding taxes and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.
