(a company controlled by Newton Glassman) and James Riley for a purchase price of CAD$0.75 per Share.
In addition, pursuant to the Arrangement: (i) each deferred share unit of Callidus outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement (whether vested or unvested) was deemed to be assigned and transferred by the holder thereof to Callidus in exchange for a cash payment equal to C$0.75, less applicable withholdings; and (ii) each option to purchase Shares of Callidus was deemed to be assigned and transferred by the holder thereof to Callidus for no consideration (as the exercise price of each such option exceeded the consideration to otherwise be received).
