This offer expires at 9.00 p.m., U.S. Pacific Time, on September 20, 2017, unless extended. PLEASE FOLLOW THE ACCOMPANYING INSTRUCTIONS BELOW. Terms used in this offer website that are defined in the Offer to Exchange have the same meaning as those defined terms in the Offer to Exchange. In accordance with the terms outlined in the offer documents, if you elect to exchange your Eligible Options, the number of Shares subject to the New Awards you received will depend on the number of Shares subject to the Eligible Options that you elect to exchange pursuant to the offer and an exchange ratio that is based on the per Share exercise price of those Eligible Options, as described in Section 2 of the Offer Exchange. If you participate in this offer, you may exchange options granted to you by Fluidigm with an exercise price per Share greater than US$4.37 and greater than the closing price of a Share of Fluidigm’s Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the Expiration Date whether vested or unvested, that are outstanding as of the start of the Offering Period and remain outstanding and unexercised as of the Expiration Date and that were granted under our Plans. New Awards will be unvested on the New Awards Grant Date, regardless of whether your Eligible Options were vested or unvested, and will be scheduled to vest based on your continued service with us to out subsidiaries through each applicable vesting date in accordance with the new vesting schedule. The new vesting schedule generally provides that one-twelfth (1/12) of the Shares subject to each New Award Grant will be scheduled to vest on the Company’s scheduled quarterly vesting dates over three years, beginning with the first such scheduled quarterly vesting date occurring at least three months following the new Award Grant Date. However, if you reside in or your principal work location is in France and you receive RSUs in exchange for Eligible Options, on third (1/3) of the Shares subject to the RSU Grant instead will be scheduled to vest on the first quarterly vesting date at least one year after the New Award Grant Date and one twelfth (1/12) of the Shares subject to the RSU Grant will be scheduled to vest quarterly for the next two ears. Vesting of New Awards does not provide any guarantee to promise of continued service with Fluidigm or any of our subsidiaries. Although the vesting schedule of your Eligible Option Grant may have had a monthly vesting component, there will be no monthly vesting on the Awards. See Section 9 of the Offer to Exchange for further details. You will lose your rights to all Exchanged Options that are cancelled under the offer. ReminderBefore making your election, please ensure that you have reviewed and understand the materials that constitute this offer.
