Effective Time financial

"at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time")"

The exact clock time when a regulatory filing, approval, or corporate action formally becomes legally active; from that moment the change is binding and can be acted on. Investors care because the effective time marks when ownership, rights, trading rules, or new securities take effect — like a light switch turning on a contract or transaction — which determines when risks, benefits and market reactions begin.

Per Share Price financial

"the "Per Share Price""

Company RSU financial

"a "Company RSU""

Company PSU financial

"a "Company PSU""

Merger Agreement financial

"the "Merger Agreement""

A merger agreement is a binding contract that lays out the exact terms for two companies to combine, including the price, what each side will deliver, and the conditions that must be met before the deal is completed. Investors care because it sets the timetable, payouts and risks — like a blueprint or prenup that shows whether the deal is likely to close, how ownership will change, and what could cancel or alter the payout they expect.
