- | Merger Sub was merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer as the Surviving Corporation; |
- | The Issuer became a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of HCC and, thereby, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Hallmark Cards; and |
- | each issued and outstanding share of Crown Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) (except for shares of Common Stock (i) held by stockholders of Crown who properly exercise their statutory appraisal rights under Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and (ii) held by any of the Reporting Persons or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Merger), was immediately cancelled and converted into the right to receive $5.05 in cash, without interest (the “Acquired Shares”). |
- | all shares of Common Stock held by the Issuer and by HCC were extinguished, and each of the 1,000 shares of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding was converted into one validly issued, full paid, and non-assessable share of Class A common stock of Crown. |
