Merger Consideration financial
"an amount in cash equal to $38.50 per share ... (the "Merger Consideration")"
Merger consideration is the total payment a company or buyer offers to shareholders of a target company in exchange for combining the two businesses, and can include cash, shares in the surviving company, debt assumption, or a mix of these. Investors care because the form and amount affect the deal’s value, tax consequences, immediate cash received versus future ownership, and the risk and upside of holding new shares — similar to choosing between cash now or stock that could grow later.
performance-vesting restricted stock unit awards financial
"performance-vesting restricted stock unit awards ("PSUs") granted prior to May 2026"
restricted cash awards financial
"were converted into restricted cash awards"
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.
