Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 19, 2014 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Zale Corporation ("Zale"), Signet Jewelers Limited and Carat Merger Sub, Inc., on May 29, 2014, each share of Zale common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), was converted into the right to receive $21.00 in cash ("the "Merger Consideration").
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on May 29, 2014, each restricted stock unit subject to performance-based vesting conditions ("Performance-Vested RSU") (x) became fully vested if more than 50% of the relevant performance period was completed as of May 29, 2014 or became 50% vested if 50% or less of the relevant performance period was completed as of May 29, 2014 and (y) was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the merger consideration with respect to each share of Common Stock that vests pursuant to such Performance-Vested RSU.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on May 29, 2014, each restricted stock unit subject to vesting conditions other than performance-based vesting conditions ("Time-Vested RSU") became fully vested, was canceled and was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration with respect to each share of Common Stock subject to such Time-Vested RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on May 29, 2014, each Zale stock option, whether vested or unvested, was canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the excess (if any) of (x) the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such stock option immediately prior to the Effective Time over (y) the aggregate exercise price payable upon exercise of such stock option immediately prior to the Effective Time. Each outstanding stock option that had an exercise price that was greater than or equal to the Merger Consideration was canceled for no consideration.
