In addition and as a result of the Merger, each option to purchase shares of CAC Common Stock (each, a “CAC Stock Option”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of CEC Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) of (i)the number of shares of CAC Common Stock subject to such CAC Stock Option and (ii)the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (x)the exercise price of such CAC Stock Option divided by (y)the Exchange Ratio. Also as a result of the Merger, each right to receive shares or share equivalents of CAC Common Stock (each, a “CAC Award”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into the right to receive shares (or share equivalents, as the case may be) in CEC Common Stock, which, in the case of CAC Awards denominated in shares shall be in an amount equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) of (i)the number of shares of CAC Common Stock subject to such CAC Award and (ii)the Exchange Ratio.

In addition, each other unvested CAC Award and unvested CAC Stock Option, in each case, granted to CAC’s 2014 Performance Incentive Plan (the “CAC 2014 PIP”), was amended in

accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement to provide that it will become vested and exercisable upon the holder’s termination of employment without “cause” (as defined in the CAC 2014 PIP) by CEC or any of its subsidiaries or for “good reason” (as defined in the Merger Agreement), in either case within six months following the closing of the Merger. Except for this amendment of the unvested CAC Awards and CAC Stock Options, each converted CAC Award and CAC Stock Option continues to be governed by the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the CAC 2014 PIP.

As a result of the Merger, a change of control of CAC occurred, and CAC merged with and into CEC, with CEC as the surviving company. See the Introductory Note and the disclosure regarding the Merger under Item 1.02 above for additional information.

Upon the closing of the Merger, each of Marc Beilinson, Philip Erlanger, Dhiren Fonseca, Mitch Garber, Don Kornstein, Karl Peterson, Marc Rowan and David Sambur ceased serving as members of CAC’s board of directors.
