Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the
conditions thereof, Parent has agreed to cause Acquisition Sub to commence a
tender offer (as it may be extended, amended or supplemented from time to time,
the "Offer"), to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par
value
The Offer will initially remain open for a minimum of 21 business days from the date of commencement of the Offer. If at the scheduled expiration time of the Offer any condition to the Offer (other than any conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the expiration of the Offer, but subject to such conditions remaining capable of being satisfied) has not been satisfied and has not been waived by Parent or Acquisition Sub (to the extent waivable), Acquisition Sub may, in its discretion, and Parent may cause Acquisition Sub to, extend the Offer in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement to permit the satisfaction of all Offer conditions. In addition, if at any scheduled expiration time of the Offer certain regulatory approvals have not been obtained, Acquisition Sub will extend the Offer in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement to permit the satisfaction of all Offer conditions. The obligation of Acquisition Sub to consummate the Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of conditions, including, among others, (i) there being validly tendered and not validly withdrawn a number of Shares that, considered together with all other Shares (if any) beneficially owned by Parent and its affiliates, represent at least one more Share than 50% of the sum of the total number of Shares outstanding at the time of the expiration of the Offer and the Shares that the Company would be required to issue upon conversion, settlement, exchange or exercise of all options, warrants, rights or other convertible securities outstanding at the time of the expiration of the Offer (the "Minimum Condition"); (ii) any waiting period applicable to the Offer under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, having expired or otherwise been terminated; (iii) certain other regulatory approvals being obtained and regulatory notices having been delivered; (iv) the absence of any law or order by any governmental authority of competent jurisdiction prohibiting, restricting, enjoining or otherwise making illegal the consummation of the Offer or the Merger; (v) the Merger Agreement not having been terminated in accordance with its terms (the "Termination Condition"); and (vi) other customary conditions set forth in Exhibit A to the Merger Agreement. The Minimum Condition and the Termination Condition may not be waived by Parent or Acquisition Sub. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and as a condition to the expiration of the Offer, a subsidiary of the Company will sell certain mortgage servicing rights to a subsidiary of Parent two business days prior to the expiration date of the Offer.
Following the consummation of the Offer, subject to the terms and conditions of
the Merger Agreement and in accordance with Section 251(h) of the General
Corporation Law of the

Each Option that is unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and subject solely to time-based vesting conditions shall automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, vest and be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of (1) the Merger Consideration over (2) the per-share exercise price for such Option multiplied by (y) the total number of Shares underlying such Option. Each Option that is unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and subject to performance-based vesting conditions shall automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of (1) the Merger Consideration over (2) the per-share exercise price for such Option multiplied by (y) the total number of Shares underlying such Option (with such number, if any, determined in accordance with the terms of the Company equity plan and applicable Option award agreement, as determined by the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") or a committee thereof after consultation with Parent prior to the Effective Time). In each case, if the exercise price per Share of such Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Option shall be cancelled without any cash payment or other consideration being made in respect thereof.

The portion of each of the Company's restricted stock unit awards (the "RSUs") that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, vest (if unvested) and be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (i) the total number of Shares underlying such RSU (including any Shares in respect of dividend equivalent units credited thereon) multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration.
The portion of each of the Company's performance stock unit awards (the "PSU") that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (i) the total number of Shares underlying such PSU (with such number determined in accordance with the terms of the Company equity plan and applicable award agreements, as determined by the Board or a committee thereof after consultation with Parent prior to the Effective Time) (including any Shares in respect of dividend equivalent units credited thereon) multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration.
The Merger Agreement includes representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, Parent and Acquisition Sub customary for a transaction of this nature. The Company will also use reasonable best efforts to conduct its business in the ordinary course of business prior to the Effective Time.
The Company has agreed to customary "no-shop" restrictions on its ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties and engage in discussions or negotiations with third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals. Notwithstanding these restrictions, the Company may, under certain circumstances, provide information to and participate in discussions or negotiations with third parties with respect to a bona fide written alternative acquisition proposal that the Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel) constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement).
The Merger Agreement also contains termination provisions for both the Company
and Parent, including termination if the Offer has not been consummated by
