All outstanding options and restricted stock unit awards under Epocrates’ equity compensation plans will be assumed by athenahealth at the Effective Time. Each outstanding option and restricted stock unit award shall be exercisable or shall be settled upon the same terms and conditions as under the applicable Epocrates equity compensation plan, except that each option shall be exercisable for, and each restricted stock unit shall be converted into the right to receive, shares of athenahealth common stock using an exchange ratio based on the average closing sales prices per share of athenahealth’s common stock for the ten trading days ending on the second trading day prior to the closing of the Merger. The Merger is conditioned upon, among other things, requisite Epocrates stockholder approval, the expiration or termination of any waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and other customary conditions.
Following the Merger, the Shares will no longer be traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, there will be no public market for the Shares, and registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act will be terminated.
