Explanation of Responses: |
1. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 23, 2013 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among sTec, Inc. (the "Issuer"), Western Digital Corporation ("WDC") and Lodi Ventures, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), on September 12, 2013 (the "Effective Time"), Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer (the "Merger"). These shares of common stock of the Issuer were automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive $6.85 per share (the "Merger Consideration"). |
2. This option, which was fully vested at the Effective Time, had an exercise price less than the Merger Consideration, and was converted into an option to purchase 5,311 shares of WDC common stock for $34.55 per share at the Effective Time. Given that Mr. Ball's board service with the Issuer was terminated immediately prior to the Effective Time, he will only have 12 months after the Effective Time to exercise this substituted option. |
3. These options, which were fully vested or accelerated to fully vest at the Effective Time, had exercise prices greater than the Merger Consideration, and were converted into options (similarly out of the money) to purchase shares of WDC common stock at the Effective Time. Given that Mr. Ball's board service with the Issuer was terminated immediately prior to the Effective Time, he will only have 12 months after the Effective Time to exercise these substituted options. |
