Accordingly, each Holder that validly elected to convert Convertible Preferred shares on the Optional Conversion Cutoff Date will have its shares of Convertible Preferred converted on a pro rata basis using a factor of approximately 0.3752 shares converted for each share validly tendered for Optional Conversion, subject to rounding. Any shares of Convertible Preferred not converted will be returned to the Holder. |
