To Enventis Employees:
Momentum continues as we work toward closing on the merger of Enventis and Consolidated Communications (CCI) in the fourth quarter of this year. To ensure we continue that momentum, today we announce that we will be serving as Transition Officers for both Consolidated Communications and Enventis. Steve Childers, CCI CFO, will be acting as the CCI Transition Officer and Carol Wirsbinski, Enventis COO, will be serving as the Transition Officer for Enventis.
The key purposes of this transition team are to build relationships between the two companies, identify key tasks and deadlines to close on the merger and to plan for the combined organization after the transaction is closed. We will create a collaborative process to facilitate all “get to close” activities, e.g., SEC and regulatory approvals, shareholder vote, etc., and create a smooth process for employee communication and assessment and organizational design, as well to oversee the initial phases of integration planning.
With respect to integration planning, we are also announcing the opening of the Integration Management Office (IMO). Barb TenEyck will serve as the IMO Manager for CCI and Greg Tholkes will serve in the same role for Enventis. Barb and Greg will be tasked with developing the planning framework to identify and to evaluate integration projects and as projects are approved or started, to ensure alignment and coordination of integration activities, monitoring progress and capturing feedback for discussion and resolution to make integration successful.
Relationship building is a primary focus at this time, as leaders from CCI meet with teams at Enventis to learn more about Enventis’ structure and processes, the company’s strategy and how the company executes on that strategy.
It is an exciting time for both companies as we work toward the merger. At the same time, we will work together to develop integration plans and continue to provide best-in-class communication products and services for our customers.
