3. Ownership Interests. Each ownership interest in the Gel-MN shall be converted into an ownership interest of Gel-DE, such that, immediately following the conversion, each holder of an ownership interest of Gel-MN shall own the same ownership interest in Gel-DE that such shareholder owned in Gel-MN immediately prior to the merger.
