Company SARs. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and without any action on the part of Parent, Acquisition Sub, the Company or any holder of such Company SAR each Company SAR that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be treated as follows:
Company SARs. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each then outstanding Company SAR shall, to the extent unvested, automatically become fully vested and shall be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company SAR immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the excess of (A) the Cash Election Consideration minus (B) the per share base price of such Company SAR (less required withholdings as provided in Section 3.5(i)).
Company SARs. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger, each Company SAR, whether vested or unvested, that is unexpired, unexercised, and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be fully vested, cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company SAR, multiplied by (B) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Price over the applicable per share exercise price under such Company SAR, subject to any required withholding of Taxes (the “Company SAR Consideration”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Company SAR that is not an In-the-Money Company SAR shall be cancelled immediately upon the Effective Time pursuant to this Section 2.8(e) without payment or consideration.
Company SARs. At the Effective Time, each Company SAR (or portion thereof) that is outstanding, whether vested or unvested, shall, by virtue of the Merger and at the direction of Parent (which is hereby given pursuant to this Agreement), be cancelled and terminated and converted into the right to receive, a cash amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Company SAR, multiplied by (ii) the excess, if any of (A) the Cash Equivalent Consideration over (B) the strike price of such Company SAR (the “SAR Consideration”). The holder of each Company SAR shall receive at the Effective Time from the Company, or as soon as practicable thereafter (but in no event later than the Company’s first regular payroll date following the Effective Time) from the Surviving Company, the SAR Consideration, subject to applicable tax withholding required under the Code or any Applicable Law.
Company SARs. Each Company SAR that remains outstanding and unexercised as of the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, (i) vest in full (to the extent previously unvested) and become exercisable, and (ii) be converted into a fully vested and exercisable stock appreciation right relating to shares of Parent Common Stock (which stock appreciation rights shall be cash-or stock-settled in accordance with the settlement terms applicable to the related Company SAR), on the same terms and conditions (other than vesting conditions, which shall not apply) as were applicable to such Company SAR immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, an “Adjusted SAR”), except that (A) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Adjusted SAR, rounded down to the nearest whole share, shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company SAR immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, and (B) the exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock subject to such Adjusted SAR shall equal the per share exercise or strike price of the Company SAR immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
Company SARs. Each vested and unvested cash-settled stock appreciation right (each, a “Company SAR”) granted under any Company Equity Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, cease to represent an award that relates to shares of Company Common Stock and shall be converted, at the Effective Time, into an award that relates to shares of Parent Common Stock (a “Parent SAR”) by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock relating to each such Company SAR immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock), and each such Parent SAR shall have a base price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (i) the base price per share of Company Common Stock otherwise relating to such Company SAR immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio; provided, however, that in the case of any Company SAR to which Section 409A of the Code applies as of the Effective Time, the base price of the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to which it will relate, and the terms and conditions of exercise of such Parent SAR, in each case following the conversion described herein shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid the imposition of any additional taxes thereunder. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each such Parent SAR shall continue to be governed by substantially the same terms and conditions (including any vesting provisions and any provisions providing for accelerated vesting upon certain events) as were applicable under such Company SAR as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and specifically subject to any provisions providing for accelerated vesting upon certain terminations of employment following the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether contained in the Company Equity Plan, an applicable award agreement, an employment agreement, or any other agreement or severance plan (or in any consent or approval adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors (or a committee thereof)) governing the terms of such Company SAR as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.
Company SARs. Each Company SAR that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into and thereafter evidence a stock appreciation right covering shares of Parent Common Stock (“Converted Parent SAR”) with respect to that number of shares of Parent Common Stock that is equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company SAR as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (b) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share. The exercise price per share of the Converted Parent SAR shall be equal to the exercise price per share of the Company SAR divided by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Following the Effective Time, the Converted Parent SAR shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as applied to the corresponding in Company SAR immediately prior to the Effective Time, provided that the Converted Parent SAR will be vested and exercisable in full and will remain exercisable for its full original term without regard to any continuing service requirement.
Company SARs. (i) At the Effective Time, each Company SAR that is outstanding, unexercised and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (taking into account any acceleration of vesting as a result of the consummation of the Integrated Merger) shall, by virtue of the Integrated Mergers and without further action on the part of the Company, Parent or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into a right to receive an amount in cash equal to (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company SAR, multiplied by (B)(1) the Per Share Cash Consideration minus (2) the exercise price per share of such Company SAR, subject to any required withholding of Taxes.
Company SARs. “Company SARs” shall mean all stock appreciation rights with respect to Shares issued pursuant to a Company Equity Plan.
Company SARs. At the Effective Time, each Company SAR that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of (A) the Per Share Merger Consideration over (B) the per-share exercise price linked to such Company SAR multiplied by (ii) the total number of Shares linked to such Company SAR immediately prior to the Effective Time (such product, the “Company SAR Consideration”). The Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay the applicable Company SAR Consideration (if any), less any required withholding Taxes, to each holder of a Company SAR through the payroll of the Surviving Corporation within two (2) Business Days following the Effective Time; provided, that to the extent payment within such time or on such date would trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code, such payments shall be made on the earliest date that payment would not trigger such Tax or penalty.
