Context
- These transactions are merger-related cash settlements and award adjustments rather than routine open-market buys/sells. Under the Merger Agreement, outstanding common shares and many equity awards were converted into cash; option cash-outs were reduced by any exercise price, which explains the variety of per-share amounts reported.
- PSUs and RSUs that remain subject to time-vesting mean some cash payments will still be subject to post-merger vesting conditions; PSUs were treated as 110% achieved for payout purposes per the filing.
