Treatment of Options and Convertible Securities In case the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof shall issue, sell, grant or assume, or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive, any Options or Convertible Securities, then, and in each such case, the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue, sale, grant or assumption or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date (or, if the Common Stock trades on an ex-dividend basis, on the date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading), provided that such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 2.5) of such shares would be less than the Current Market Price immediately prior to such issue, sale, grant or assumption or immediately prior to the close of business on such record date (or, if the Common Stock trades on an ex-dividend basis, on the date prior to the commencement of ex-dividend trading), as the case may be, and provided, further, that in any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued
Treatment of Options Prior to the Merger Effective Time, Xxxxxx and Merger Sub shall take all such actions as may be necessary to cause each unexpired and unexercised option, whether or not vested or exercisable, under stock option plans of Xxxxxx with respect to Xxxxxx Common Stock (each, an "Option") to be automatically converted at the Merger Effective Time into an option (an "Exchange Option") to purchase, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to each such Option immediately before the Merger Effective Time (except for any changes in vesting rights or acceleration of exercise rights pursuant to the terms of the stock option plans and related agreements in existence as of the date of this Agreement, that result from the occurrence of the Transactions), (i) that number of shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Xxxxxx Common Stock issuable immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time upon exercise of the Option and (ii) at a price per share equal to the exercise price which existed under the corresponding Option immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time; provided, however, that in the case of any Option to which Section 421 of the Code applies by reason of its qualification under Section 422 of the Code, the conversion formula shall be adjusted, if necessary, to comply with Section 424(a) of the Code. In connection with the issuance of Exchange Options, the Surviving Corporation shall (a) reserve for issuance the number of shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock that will become subject to Exchange Options pursuant to this Section 1.9 and (b) from and after the Merger Effective Time, upon exercise of Exchange Options, make available for issuance all shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock covered thereby, subject to the terms and conditions applicable thereto. Prior to the Merger Effective Time, the Board of Directors of Xxxxxx, or an appropriate committee of non-employee directors thereof, as applicable, shall adopt resolutions consistent with the interpretive guidance of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and any other applicable securities regulatory authorities so that the disposition of the Options and the acquisition of the Exchange Options, any shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock or any other equity securities or derivative securities of the Surviving Corporation pursuant to this Agreement by any officer or director of Xxxxxx who may become a covered person of the Surviving Corporation for purposes of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Exchange Act"), shall be exempt for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Restricted stock units with respect to Xxxxxx Common Stock and other incentive compensation awards (including awards under the LTAP (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement)) payable in, or determined by reference to, shares of Xxxxxx Common Stock will be converted into an equal number of restricted stock units (or incentive compensation awards) with respect to Surviving Corporation Common Stock.
Options and Convertible Securities The consideration per share received by the Company for Additional Shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to Section 3.3(2), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:
Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible Securities If, in any case, the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Option or upon conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities is not, in fact, issued and the rights to exercise such Option or to convert or exchange such Convertible Securities shall have expired or terminated, the Exercise Price then in effect will be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination (other than in respect of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise or conversion thereof), never been issued.
Termination of Options The Options, which become exercisable as provided in paragraphs 3 and 4 above, shall terminate and be of no force or effect as follows:
Treatment of Stock Options 6 ARTICLE III.
Amendment of Option This Agreement and the terms of the Option may be amended by the Board or the Committee at any time (i) if the Board or the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that amendment is necessary or advisable due to any addition to or change in the Code or in the regulations issued thereunder, or any federal or state securities law or other law or regulation, which change occurs after the Date of Grant and by its terms applies to the Option; or (ii) other than in the circumstances described in clause (i), with the consent of WGNB and the Grantee.
Non-Transferability of Options The Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.
Acceleration of Options One hundred (100%) percent of the Executive’s outstanding, unvested options, restricted stock and/or equity awards (“Equity Awards”) shall, immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control, become fully and immediately vested to the extent not already so provided under the terms of such Equity Awards; provided, however, that if the acquirer in a Change in Control grants Equity Awards having (in the reasonable opinion of the Board) a value at least equal to the value of Executive’s then-unvested Company Equity Awards, then 50% of the Executive’s outstanding, unvested Company Equity Awards shall become fully and immediately vested immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control (and the remaining 50% shall terminate upon the consummation of the Change in Control). Notwithstanding any provisions of the stock option plan or stock option agreement pursuant to which any stock options subject to the preceding sentence were granted, the Executive shall be entitled to exercise such Equity Awards until three years from the date of termination of employment or the expiration of the stated period of the Equity Award, whichever period is the shorter.
Stock Options and Warrants At the Effective Time of the Merger, each outstanding option to purchase Company Common Stock (each, a "Company Stock Option"), whether or not granted under the Company Option Plan, and all outstanding warrants to purchase Company Common Stock the outstanding whether or not vested, shall by virtue of the Merger be assumed by Parent. Each Company Stock Option and Warrant so assumed by Parent under this Agreement will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions of such options immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger (including, without limitation, any repurchase rights or vesting provisions and provisions regarding the acceleration of vesting on certain transactions), except that (i) each Company Stock Option and Warrant will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of the number of Company Shares that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Stock Option or Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock if the said product is equal to or less than the fraction of one-half (.5) of one Parent Common Stock or rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock if the said product is greater than the fraction of one-half (.5) of one Parent Common Stock, and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Company Stock Option and Warrant will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per Company Share at which such Company Stock Option and Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Parent shall comply with the terms of all such Company Stock Options and Warrants and use its best efforts to ensure, to the extent required by, and subject to the provisions of, the Company Option Plan and permitted under the Code or other relevant laws and regulations that any Company Stock Option that qualified for tax treatment under Section 424(b) of the Code prior to the Effective Time of the Merger continue to so qualify after the Effective Time of the Merger. Parent shall take all corporate actions necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of all Company Stock Options and Warrants on the terms set forth in this Section 2.03(b).
