Conversion Formula. “Conversion Formula” means the appropriate formula which shall be applied in adjusting the exercise price and number of Acuity options under the Acuity Stock Incentive Plans and in determining the exercise price and number of SpinCo options under the SpinCo Stock Incentive Plan. The Conversion Formula for SpinCo options under the SpinCo Stock Incentive Plan shall be based on the closing per share prices of Acuity Common Stock (with a due ▇▇▇▇) and SpinCo Common Stock (on a when-issued basis) as traded on the NYSE on the Distribution Date or such other prices as jointly agreed upon by SpinCo and Acuity, and shall be determined and applied in such a manner as to maintain (1) the aggregate spread of such options, which is the difference between the exercise price per share of Acuity Common Stock covered by the option and the price per share of Acuity Common Stock (with a due ▇▇▇▇) immediately preceding the Distribution, multiplied by the total number of shares covered by the option; and (2) the ratio of the exercise price per share covered by the option to the price per share of Acuity Common Stock (with a due ▇▇▇▇) immediately preceding the Distribution. The Conversion Formula for adjusting Acuity options under the Acuity Stock Incentive Plans shall be based on the closing per share prices of Acuity Common Stock (without giving effect to the dividend) and Acuity Common Stock (after giving effect to the dividend) as traded on the NYSE on the Distribution Date or such other prices as determined by Acuity, and shall be determined and applied in such a manner as to maintain the aggregate spread and exercise price ratio as described in the previous sentence for SpinCo options.
