Please note that our receipt of your election form is not by itself an acceptance of your Eligible Options for exchange. For purposes of the offer, Fluidigm will be deemed to have accepted Eligible Options for exchange that are validly tendered and not properly withdrawn as of the time Fluidigm gives oral or written notice to the option holders generally of its acceptance of options for exchange. Fluidigm may issue this notice of acceptance by press release, email or other method of communication. Eligible Options accepted for exchange will be cancelled on the Cancellation Date, which we presently expect will be September 20, 2017. Fluidigm’s formal acceptance of the properly tendered Eligible Options is expected to take place shortly after the expiration of the offer.
This notice does not constitute the offer. The full terms of the offer are described in (1) the Offer to Exchange Certain Outstanding Options for New Awards (the “Offer to Exchange”); (2) the launch email from FluidigmExchange@equitybenefits.com, dated August 23, 2017, announcing the offer; and (3) the election form attached to the launch email, together with its associated instructions.
