At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (subject to certain exceptions) was converted into the right to receive $4.50 in cash, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes (the "Merger Consideration"). At the Effective Time, each time-based Issuer restricted stock unit (including deferred restricted stock units, each an "Issuer RSU") that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive (without interest) an amount in cash equal to (x) the total number of shares underlying such Issuer RSU, multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, any option to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock that was outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time for which the exercise price exceeded the Merger Consideration (whether vested or unvested) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive (without interest) an amount in cash equal to $421.91, which was determined based on a Black-Scholes model.
