Merger Consideration
As a result of the Holdco Merger, Flagstar ceased to exist as a separate entity. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Flagstar outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Flagstar Common Stock”), except for certain shares held by NYCB or Flagstar, which shares were cancelled without receipt of any consideration, was converted into the right to receive 4.0151 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of NYCB (“NYCB Common Stock”) (the “Merger Consideration”). Holders of Flagstar Common stock will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares of NYCB Common Stock.
Treatment of Flagstar Equity Awards
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each outstanding time-based restricted stock unit award (a “Flagstar RSU”) under Flagstar’s 2016 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the “Flagstar Stock Plan”) ceased to represent a restricted stock unit denominated in Flagstar Common Stock and was converted into a number of time-based restricted stock units denominated in NYCB Common Stock (each, an “NYCB RSU”) equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Flagstar Common Stock subject to such Flagstar RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any applicable dividend equivalents), multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio.
