5 terms

Agreement and Plan of Merger regulatory

"pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of November 18, 2025"

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.

Merger Consideration financial

"each share of Common Stock held by the reporting person was converted into the right to receive $12.00 in cash (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.

restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial

"A portion of these shares represent restricted stock units ("RSUs"). Each RSU represents a right to receive one share of Common Stock upon vesting."

Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.

Adobe RSU Award financial

"each other RSU award was converted into a restricted stock unit award relating to Parent common stock (an "Adobe RSU Award")"

Effective Time regulatory

"At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each share of Common Stock held by the reporting person was converted"
