Each award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) of the Company that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time or that vested in accordance with its terms as a result of the consummation of the Transactions (a “Vested Company RSU”) was, at the Effective Time, cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes) equal to the product of (i) $35.50 and (ii) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Vested Company RSU as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Each award of Company RSUs that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that was not a Vested Company RSU (an “Unvested Company RSU”) was, at the Effective Time, cancelled and replaced with a right to receive an amount in cash (without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes) equal to the product of (i) $35.50 and (ii) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Unvested Company RSU as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Cash Replacement RSU Amounts”), which Cash Replacement RSU Amounts will, subject to the holder’s continued service through the applicable vesting dates, generally vest and be payable at the same time as the RSUs for which the Cash Replacement RSU Amounts were exchanged and based on the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting) as applied to the RSU for which the Cash Replacement RSU Amount was exchanged.
