Based on the number of outstanding shares of Linear common stock as of July 26, 2016 and the Company's 5-day volume weighted average price as of July 21, 2016, the value of the total consideration to be paid by the Company is estimated to be approximately $14.8 billion, to be funded with the issuance of approximately 58.0 million new shares of the Company’s common stock, approximately $9.0 billion from the bridge and term loan facilities and the remainder from proceeds received from the Company's issuance of the Notes.
