(4) Acquisition Sub was merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving the Merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of BCP IV pursuant to a "back-end merger" under Delaware law (the "Merger"). At the effective time of the Merger, all of the Issuer's common stock held by BCP IV and Acquisition Sub was canceled. At the effective time of the Merger, each share of Acquisition Sub was converted into a share of the surviving company's stock, such that following the Merger, BCP IV beneficially owned 100 shares of the surviving company.
(5) Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the expiration of the Offer, BCP IV transferred its interest in the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock it owned to Acquisition Sub.
