Treatment of Tvardi Stock Options Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each option to purchase shares of Tvardi common stock that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, if any, whether or not vested, will be converted into and become an option to purchase shares of Cara common stock. Cara will assume the Tvardi Plan and all such Tvardi stock options in accordance with the terms of the Tvardi Plan and the terms of the stock option agreement by which such option is evidenced. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (i) each outstanding Tvardi stock option assumed by Cara may be exercised solely for shares of Cara common stock; (ii) the number of shares of Cara common stock subject to each outstanding Tvardi stock option assumed by Cara will be determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Tvardi common stock that were subject to such Tvardi stock option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (B) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Cara common stock; (iii) the per share exercise price for the Cara common stock issuable upon exercise of each Tvardi stock option assumed by Cara will be determined by dividing (A) the per share exercise price of Cara common stock subject to such Tvardi stock option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (B) the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (iv) any restriction on the exercise of any Tvardi stock option assumed by Cara will continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule, accelerated vesting provisions, and any other provisions of such Tvardi stock option will otherwise remain unchanged; provided, however, that the Cara Board or a committee thereof will succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Tvardi Board or any committee thereof with respect to each Tvardi stock option assumed by Cara. Directors and Executive Officers of the Combined Company Following the Merger The Merger Agreement provides that the parties will take all necessary action so that immediately after the Effective Time, the Combined Company Board is comprised of seven members, with six such members designated by Tvardi and one such members designated by Cara.
