Pursuant to the transactions as contemplated under the Merger Agreement, and following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified therein, on February 10, 2023, the merger was completed with the combined company keeping the name Ouster and continuing to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “OUST.” Each share of common stock, par value US$0.0001 per share, of Velodyne issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger was converted into the right to receive 0.8204 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, par value US$0.0001 per share, of Ouster.

Accordingly, 2,439,024 common stock of Velodyne then held by Baidu (Hong Kong) Limited and 13,065,444 common stock of Velodyne then held by Baidu Holdings Limited, respectively, were converted into the right to receive 2,000,975 and 10,718,890 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, par value US$0.0001 per share, of Ouster, respectively. Baidu received cash in lieu of fractional shares. As a result, as of February 10, 2023, Baidu (Hong Kong) Limited directly held 2,000,975 common stock of Ouster and Baidu Holdings Limited directly held 10,718,890 common stock of Ouster.
