Agreement and Plan of Merger regulatory
"Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated March 26, 2026,"
An Agreement and Plan of Merger is a formal document where two companies agree to combine into one, outlining how the process will happen. It’s like a step-by-step plan for merging, and it matters because it shows both sides have agreed on the details before the official transition takes place.
Effective Time regulatory
"At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each share of Common Stock"
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.
wholly owned subsidiary financial
"with the Issuer surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent"
A wholly owned subsidiary is a company whose entire ownership is held by another company (the parent), so the parent controls decisions, operations, and finances. Think of it as a fully controlled branch that runs as its own legal entity but whose results flow straight into the parent’s financial statements; investors watch these structures because they affect consolidated revenue, risk exposure, and how profits, liabilities, and cash flow are allocated across the corporate group.

FAQ

What insider transaction did OLPX report for Kenneth F. Egan?

Kenneth F. Egan reported a disposition of 10,000 shares of Olaplex common stock. The shares were transferred to the issuer in connection with a merger transaction and converted into the right to receive cash consideration at a fixed per-share price.

What price did OLPX shareholders receive per share in the Henkel merger?

Each Olaplex common share was converted into the right to receive $2.06 in cash. This fixed cash amount applied to all issued and outstanding shares at the effective time of the merger, subject to any required tax withholding under applicable law.

How many OLPX shares did Kenneth F. Egan hold after this Form 4 transaction?

Following the reported disposition, Kenneth F. Egan’s remaining Olaplex common stock holdings were reported as zero shares. His previously held shares were converted into cash consideration as part of the merger structure described in the Agreement and Plan of Merger.

What merger led to the reported OLPX insider share disposition?

The disposition occurred due to a merger under which Margot Acquisition Merger Sub, Inc. merged into Olaplex. Olaplex survived the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Henkel US Operations Corporation, triggering automatic cash conversion of each outstanding common share.

Was the OLPX insider transaction an open-market sale of shares?

The transaction was not an open-market sale; it was a disposition to the issuer. The Form 4 identifies the event as a merger-related conversion of outstanding shares into cash consideration, rather than a voluntary sale on a securities exchange.

How does the OLPX merger affect common stockholders’ ownership?

Common stockholders’ shares were converted into a fixed cash amount of $2.06 per share at the merger’s effective time. After this conversion, Olaplex became a wholly owned subsidiary of Henkel, and former public stockholders no longer hold Olaplex common stock.
