Assumption and Conversion of SCO Options Clause Samples

The "Assumption and Conversion of SCO Options" clause outlines the process by which a party takes over existing stock options (SCO options) and converts them into new options under different terms, typically as part of a merger, acquisition, or corporate restructuring. In practice, this clause specifies how the original options will be replaced or adjusted, such as converting them into options for shares of the acquiring company, and details the timing, conversion ratios, and any adjustments to vesting schedules. Its core function is to ensure that option holders are treated fairly and consistently during corporate changes, preventing the loss of value or rights due to the transaction.
Assumption and Conversion of SCO Options. At the Effective Time, each of the then outstanding options to purchase shares of SCO Common Stock held by the Optionees (collectively, the "SCO Options") (consisting of all outstanding options granted under the stock option plans of SCO or the SCO Subsidiaries, and any individual non-plan options held by the Optionees), will, by virtue of the Merger, and without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, be assumed by Newco and converted into an option to purchase one share of Newco Common Stock for each two shares of SCO Common Stock subject to a SCO Option at the Effective Time (the "SCO Ratio") at an exercise price per share of Newco Common Stock equal to the exercise price per share of such assumed SCO Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the SCO Ratio, rounded up to the nearest cent. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the term, exercisability, vesting schedule, and all other terms and conditions of the SCO Options will be unchanged and all references in any option agreement

Assumption and Conversion of SCO Options. At the ---------------------------------------- Effective Time, each of Optionees (collectively, the "SCO Options") (consisting of all outstanding options granted under the stock option plans of SCO or the SCO Subsidiaries, and any individual non-plan options held by the Optionees), will, by virtue of the Merger, and without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, be assumed by Newco and converted into an option to purchase one share of Newco Common Stock for each two shares of SCO Common Stock subject to a SCO Option at the Effective Time (the "SCO Ratio") at an exercise price per share of Newco Common Stock equal to the exercise price per share of such assumed SCO Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the SCO Ratio, rounded up to the nearest cent. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the term, exercisability, vesting schedule, and all other terms and conditions of the SCO Options will be unchanged and all references in any option agreement governing such option to SCO shall be deemed to refer to Newco, where appropriate; provided, however, that the outstanding SCO Options previously designated as "incentive stock options" under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code may, as a result of the foregoing adjustments, be converted into non-statutory stock options. Continuous service as an employee or consultant with SCO or any of the SCO Subsidiaries will be credited to the Optionee for purposes of determining the number of shares of Newco Common Stock vested and exercisable under the assumed SCO Option after the Closing. If the foregoing calculation results in a Newco Option, which is issued for a SCO Option, being exercisable for a fraction of a share of Newco Common Stock, then the number of shares of Newco Common Stock subject to such option will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares, with no cash being payable for such resulting fractional share.
