Item 10. | Source and Amounts of Funds or Other Consideration |
Regulation M-A Item 1007
(b) Conditions. Item 10(b) is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
Concurrently with the filing of this Final Amendment, the Company is filing with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Form 8-K"). Item 5.01 of the Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference.
Item 15. | Additional Information |
Regulation M-A Item 1011
(c) Other material information. Item 15(c) is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
On May 7, 2025, at a special meeting of the Company's stockholders, the Company's stockholders voted to (i) approve a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and (ii) approve a proposal, on a non-binding, advisory basis, regarding certain compensation arrangements for the Company's named executive officers in connection with the Merger.
On October 2, 2025, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub filed a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, pursuant to which the Merger became effective. As a result of the Merger, the Company became a subsidiary of Parent.
At the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares owned immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Company, Ultimate Parent, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries (including shares contributed to Ultimate Parent prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the Rollover Agreements or other similar agreements), which were canceled for no consideration, and Dissenting Shares (as defined below)) was converted into the right to receive $7.33 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. Shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock with respect to which a demand for appraisal was validly made (and not forfeited or withdrawn) in accordance with Delaware law ("Dissenting Shares") will be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares as provided by Delaware law.
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock, whether vested or unvested, that had a per share exercise price less than the per share merger consideration was automatically canceled and terminated and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the excess of the per share merger consideration over the applicable per share exercise price of such option, multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time.
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock, whether vested or unvested, that had a per share exercise price equal to or greater than the per share merger consideration was canceled and terminated for no consideration.
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit of the Company with respect to shares of Company Common Stock that was subject solely to service-based vesting requirements (and not performance-based vesting requirements) (each, a "Company RSU") was assumed by Parent and adjusted into a restricted stock unit of Parent with respect to a number of shares of common stock of Parent equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU, and otherwise having the same vesting and other terms and conditions as such Company RSU.
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit of the Company with respect to shares of Company Common Stock that was subject to performance-based vesting requirements was canceled and terminated for no consideration.
The Company notified the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") that the Merger had been completed, and requested that NYSE suspend trading of Company Common Stock on NYSE prior to the opening of trading on October 2, 2025. The Company also requested that NYSE file with the SEC a Form 25 Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act to delist all shares of Company Common Stock from NYSE and deregister such shares under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. As a result, shares of Company Common Stock will no longer be listed on NYSE.
In addition, following the effectiveness of the Form 25, the Company intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration Under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act or Suspension of Duty to File Reports Under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act to deregister all shares of Company Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and suspend the Company's reporting obligations under Section 13 of the Exchange Act with respect to all shares of Company Common Stock.
On October 2, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the Merger. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(7) and is incorporated herein by reference.
