The adjustment reflects the product of (i) the number of restricted stock/unit awards immediately prior to the Spin-Off and (ii) a ratio equal to a fraction, with the numerator equal to the average of the high and low pre-Spin-Off trading prices of the Issuer's common stock on February 6, 2019 (the &quot;Issuer Pre-Spin-Off Price&quot;) and the denominator equal to the difference between (A) the Issuer Pre-Spin-Off Price and (B) the product of (x) 0.4 and (y) the average of the high and low trading prices of the common stock of Covetrus, Inc. (the combined company resulting from the Spin-Off) on February 8, 2019, the trading day immediately following the distribution date of the Spin-Off.</footnote>
