  3. F3. At the Effective Time, each option to purchase Ordinary Shares outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested (a "Company Option"), was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (i) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Cash Consideration over the exercise price of such Company Option, multiplied by (ii) the number of Ordinary Shares underlying such Company Option plus (iii) one CVR for each Ordinary Share underlying such Company Option. However, any Company Option that has an exercise price per Ordinary Share that is greater than or equal to the Per Share Cash Consideration was cancelled and ceased to exist and the holder of any such Company Option was not entitled to payment of any consideration therefor.

contingent value right financial
"one contingent value right (a "CVR")"
A contingent value right is a special security that gives its holder the right to receive one or more future payments only if specified events happen, such as a product reaching a sales target or getting regulatory approval. It matters to investors because it offers potential extra payout tied to uncertain outcomes—like a bet that a project will succeed—so it can add upside to a deal while also carrying extra risk and valuation uncertainty.
Company RSU Award financial
"an award of restricted stock units of the Issuer (a "Company RSU Award")"
Company Option financial
"a "Company Option""
Per Share Cash Consideration financial
"the "Per Share Cash Consideration""
The amount of cash offered to buy each share of a company in a transaction, such as a takeover or buyout. Think of it as the dollar price a buyer promises to hand over for every share you own; it matters to investors because it determines the immediate cash value they would receive, whether the offer is above or below current market price, and helps compare competing bids or evaluate fairness.
