(2) Received in exchange for 75,000 stock unit awards that were subject to vesting solely based on the satisfaction of time-based vesting criteria (each an "RSU"). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each RSU was cancelled and converted into the right to receive (a) $11.80 in cash, without interest, and (b) 0.1612 shares of Hillenbrand common stock (and, if applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares), less any applicable withholding taxes, for each share of Milacron common stock subject to such RSU.
(3) Received in exchange for 46,383 stock unit awards that were subject to vesting in whole or in part based on the satisfaction of performance-based vesting criteria (each a "PSU").
