The unvested restricted stock units were cancelled and forfeited for no consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement. ( 8 )The performance-based restricted stock units convert into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares subject to such performance-based restricted stock unit based on actual achievement of the applicable performance metrics through the day immediately preceding the effective date of the Merger and (ii) the per share merger consideration, less applicable taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment.
