Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as of the effective date of the merger, the Restricted Stock Units were cancelled and converted into the right to receive (i) a pro-rated lump-sum cash payment based on the Per-Share Merger Consideration (paid as promptly as practicable following the effective date of the merger, less any applicable witholdings) and (ii) a cash service award subject to the same terms and conditions (including service-based vesting, but not performance-based vesting) applicable to the corresponding Restricted Stock Unit immediately prior to the effective date of the merger.
