2. Pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger: (a) each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Old RTI converted automatically into one share of the Issuer's common stock; (b) each issued and outstanding share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of Old RTI converted automatically into one share of the Issuer's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; and (c) each stock option and restricted stock award granted by Old RTI converted into a stock option or restricted stock award, as applicable, of the Issuer with respect to an equivalent number of shares of the Issuer's common stock on the same terms and conditions as were applicable prior to the Closing. This report reflects the beneficial ownership of the reporting person at the time of the consummation of the Merger and does not include the securities of the Issuer acquired by the reporting person upon the consummation of the Merger.
