(the "Company"), Celtic Tier II Corp. and Celtic Intermediate Corp. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Company (the "Common Stock") held by the Company's stockholders, including the reporting person, was converted into the right to receive $17.75 in cash. ( 2 )Includes 2,016 restricted stock units ("RSU") that were scheduled to vest on December 6, 2019, 2,598 RSUs that were scheduled to vest on March 3, 2020, 3,619 RSUs that were scheduled to vest in two equal increments on December 8, 2019 and December 8, 2020 and 7,555 RSUs that were scheduled to vest in three equal increments on December 7, 2019, 2020 and 2021. At the Effective Time, each RSU, whether vested or unvested, was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to (i) $17.75 multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such RSU. ( 3 )(continued from footnote (2)) For each RSU (other than 7,555 RSUs granted in December 2018), 50% of the consideration was paid on the closing date and 50% will be paid subject to continued service in accordance with the original vesting schedule of the RSUs, or, if earlier, in two equal installments on the first and second anniversaries of the closing. The consideration for 7,555 RSUs granted in December 2018 will be paid subject to continued service in accordance with the original vesting schedule, or, if earlier, in two equal installments on the first and second anniversaries of the closing. ( 4 )At the Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of Common Stock (an "Option"), whether vested or unvested, was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of $17.75 over the exercise price per share of such Option and (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Option. Any Option that had an exercise price per share that was equal to or greater than $17.75 was cancelled for no consideration. The consideration for Options (other than 9,496 Options granted in December 2018) was paid on the closing date. The consideration for 9,496 Options granted in December 2018 will be paid subject to continued service in accordance with the original vesting schedules of the Options. ( 5 )At the Effective Time, each performance-based restricted stock unit ("PRSU"), whether vested or unvested, was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) $17.75 multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such PRSU, with performance-based vesting conditions deemed achieved based on actual performance through the closing date (in the case of PRSUs other than 3,777 PRSUs granted in December 2018), and, in the case of 3,777 PRSUs granted in December 2018, with performance-based vesting conditions deemed achieved at target. ( 6 )(continued from footnote (5)) For each PRSU (other than 3,777 PRSUs granted in December 2018), 50% of the consideration was paid on the closing date and 50% will be paid subject to continued service in accordance with the original vesting schedule of the PRSUs, or, if earlier, in two equal installments on the first and second anniversaries of the closing. The consideration for 3,777 PRSUs granted in December 2018 will be paid subject to continued service in accordance with the original vesting schedule, or, if earlier, in two equal installments on the first and second anniversaries of the closing.
