Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding and unexercised option immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive (x) an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Closing Amount minus the exercise price of such option, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time, net of all applicable withholding taxes, and (y) one CVR for each share of the Common Stock subject to such stock option immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Common Stock. The RSUs vest in 36 substantially equal monthly installments from November 12, 2025. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all RSUs were cancelled and converted into the right to receive (x) an amount of cash equal to the Closing Amount multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, net of all applicable withholding taxes, and (y) a number of CVRs equal to the under of the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSU. There is no vesting applicable to the cash payment and the CVRs. This option provided for vesting in 12 substantially equal monthly installments from May 20, 2025.
