~~On February 21,~~Item 2017, the Compensation Committee awarded a retention bonus payment in an amount of up to $8,500,000 to Michael Davin and a retention bonus payment in an amount of up to $1,300,000 to Stephen Webber (each, a “Retention Payment”), with the precise amount of the Retention Payments to be determined by the Compensation Committee prior to the Effective Time2. Payment of the Retention Payments is to be made in a single lump sum upon the earliest of one year following the Effective Time, termination by the Company without “cause” and termination by the employee for “good reason” (as each such term is defined in the recipient’s employment agreement as in effect on February 14, 2017)01. ~~Copies~~Completion of ~~the~~Acquisition ~~letter~~or ~~agreements~~Disposition ~~between the Company and each~~ of ~~Messrs~~Assets. ~~Davin and Webber are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.~~

The disclosure under the Introductory Note and Item 3.01 are incorporated herein by reference. The Offer and all withdrawal rights thereunder expired at the end of the day, 12:00 midnight, Eastern time, on March 21, 2017. American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the depositary for the Offer (the “Depositary”), has advised Parent and Purchaser that, as of the expiration of the Offer, an aggregate of approximately 17,047,830 Shares were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 70.6% of Shares then outstanding. Purchaser accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, and payment of the Offer Price for such shares will be promptly made by the Depositary.

On March 22, 2017, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and in accordance with Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, Purchaser merged with and into the Company with the Company being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Upon completion of the Merger, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding Share (other than Shares owned by (i) the Company, Parent, Purchaser, or any other subsidiary of Parent, which Shares were cancelled and ceased to exist, (ii) any subsidiary of the Company, which Shares were converted into such number of shares of common stock of the surviving corporation so as to maintain relative ownership percentages, or (iii) stockholders who validly exercised appraisal rights under Delaware law with respect to such Shares) was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) each then-outstanding Company stock option vested in full and was automatically cancelled and converted into a right to receive the Offer Price (less the applicable exercise price) in respect of each Share underlying such stock option, (ii) each then-outstanding Company restricted stock unit award vested and was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Offer Price in respect of each Share underlying such restricted stock unit award, and (iii) each then-outstanding Company performance stock unit award vested and was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Offer Price in respect of the maximum number of Shares underlying such performance stock unit award.

The aggregate consideration for the Offer and the Merger was approximately $1.46 billion, net of cash acquired and without giving effect to Parent’s related transaction fees and expenses. Parent funded the payment of Shares validly tendered in the Offer from Parent’s available cash on hand.

The foregoing description of the Offer, the Merger and the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on February 14, 2017 and which is incorporated herein by reference.
