( 2 )Represents performance-based restricted stock units that were disposed of in connection with the Merger.? At the effective time of the Merger, the performance-based restricted stock units were canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the number of shares of issuer's common stock earned under such performance-based restricted stock units (as provided in the Merger Agreement) (or the target number if performance had not yet been determined) multiplied by $18.75.
