3. On January 16, 2026, in connection with the Merger, each outstanding stock option in respect of the common stock of Semler held by the Reporting Person (each, a "Semler Option") was converted into a right to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Converted Options") on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Semler Options, except that (i) the number of shares of Semler common stock subject to each such Converted Option equals (x) the number of shares of Semler common stock subject to each such Semler Option, multiplied by (y) 21.05, rounded down to the nearest whole share of Class A Common Stock, (ii) the per share exercise price for each such Converted Option equals (x) the per share exercise price of such Semler Option, divided by (y) 21.05, rounded up to the nearest whole cent and (iii) the Converted Options will be fully vested as of the closing of the Merger.
