Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into Ansys (Merger), with Ansys surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Synopsys. At the effective time of the Merger (Effective Time), each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Ansys (Ansys Common Stock) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (subject to certain exceptions) was converted into the right to receive (i) 0.3399 of a share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Synopsys (Synopsys Common Stock) (rounded down to the nearest whole share) and (ii) $199.91 in cash (plus cash in lieu of any fractional share of Synopsys Common Stock), without interest.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, certain Ansys restricted stock units (RSUs) were converted into a number of Synopsys RSUs (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Ansys Common Stock subject to such Ansys RSU, including any accrued but unpaid dividend equivalents thereon, multiplied by (ii) 0.6952.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, for purposes of the conversion described in Footnote 2, the number of shares of Ansys Common Stock subject to such Ansys PSU award was based on the attainment of applicable performance metrics at the (x) actual level of performance for performance periods that lapsed in the ordinary course prior to the Effective Time or (y) for each other Ansys PSU, the target level of performance.</footnote>
