Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
The information contained in the disclosure set forth in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.
Common Stock
At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Company Common Stock”) that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) shares of Company Common Stock owned immediately prior to the Effective Time by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or any of their subsidiaries, (ii) shares of Company Common Stock as to which appraisal rights have been properly exercised and validly perfected in accordance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and (iii) 1,293,750 shares of Company Common Stock subject to vesting conditions that were cancelled without payment of consideration therefor) was cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $1.14 per share (the “Merger Consideration”), without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes.
Company Options
At the Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Option”) that was vested in accordance with its terms as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically deemed exercised on a cashless basis and exchanged for the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the excess, if any, of (A) the Merger Consideration over (B) the per-share exercise price for such vested Company Option, by (y) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such vested Company Option. Each vested Company Option with a per-share exercise price that was equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, as of the Effective Time was canceled for no consideration.
Each Company Option that was unvested and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically converted into the contingent right to receive an amount in cash, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the excess, if any, of (A) the Merger Consideration over (B) the per-share exercise price for such unvested Company Option, by (y) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such unvested Company Option. Such resulting amount will vest and become payable at the same time that the unvested Company Option from which such resulting amount was converted would have vested pursuant to its terms, and will otherwise remain subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. Any unvested Company Option with a per-share exercise price that was equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, as of the Effective Time was canceled for no consideration.
Company RSUs
Each restricted stock unit award in respect of shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company RSU”) that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and that was either held by a non-employee member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) or vested in accordance with its terms as of the Effective Time was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying the Company RSU by (y) the Merger Consideration.
Each Company RSU that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and that was either not held by a non-employee member of the Board or unvested as of the Effective Time was automatically converted into the contingent right to receive an amount in cash, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company RSU, by (y) the Merger Consideration. Such resulting amount will vest and become payable at the same time that the unvested Company RSU from which such resulting amount was converted would have vested pursuant to its terms, and will otherwise remain subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Treatment of Warrants
At the Effective Time, in accordance with the terms of that certain warrant agreement governing an aggregate of 16,213,419 warrants to purchase shares of Company Common Stock comprised of (i) publicly held warrants (the “Company Public Warrants”) and (ii) privately-issued warrants (the “Company Private Warrants” and, together with the Company Public Warrants, the “Company Warrants”), each Company Warrant that was unexercised and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, ceased to represent the right to purchase shares of Company Common Stock and became a right by the holder thereof upon any subsequent exercise, to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Company Common Stock for which such Company Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time. The exercise price for the holder of any such Company Warrant that properly exercises such Company Warrant within 30 days following May 13, 2024 will be reduced as provided for in the warrant agreement governing the Company Warrants. Such reduced exercise price will be the amount of the Merger Consideration minus the Black-Scholes value of a Company Warrant computed in accordance with the warrant agreement.
At the Effective Time, in accordance with the terms of that certain warrant to purchase Company Common Stock governing an aggregate of 128,676 warrants to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (“Company Stifel Warrants”), each Company Stifel Warrant automatically terminated and was cancelled and extinguished for no consideration.
