PICOR MERGER On May 25, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the merger of Picor Corporation (“Picor”), a subsidiary of Vicor, fully consolidated for financial reporting purposes, with and into the Company. The merger was completed as of May 30, 2018, at which time the separate corporate existence of Picor ceased. To effect the merger, holders of Picor Common Stock and Picor stock options received an equivalent value of Vicor Common Stock and Vicor stock options, respectively, pursuant to the assumption of the Picor Corporation Amended and Restated 2001 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, and options outstanding thereunder, by the Company. While Picor’s subsidiary status and corporate form ceased to exist upon the closing of the merger, the operations previously conducted by Picor, which are now conducted by Vicor, continue to be managed and remain categorized as an operating segment for financial reporting purposes. There was no net impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements nor any impact on the Company’s segment reporting for the year ended December 31, 2018 as a result of the merger.
