When will the transaction be final?

This transaction is subject to successful completion of a Hart-Scott-Rodino review in the United States, as well as other regulatory reviews. As a matter of practicality, the close of the transaction is anticipated to occur in mid-year 2014. During the period leading up to closing, both companies will continue to operate as separate entities, although teams from both companies will work closely together to plan the implementation of the integration of the two organizations.

Will this news affect my job?

It is too early to speculate on what this transaction might mean to jobs and facilities. Until the close of the transaction, we will continue to operate as separate companies. In the weeks and months to come, as we prepare to close the transaction and subsequently combine the two organizations, there will be a lot of work to do to understand and integrate our organizations. We will keep you fully informed of any specific changes and developments throughout the process.

How will the two companies be combined?

Until the transaction closes in the middle of this year, we must continue to operate as two separate companies. However, we will be developing integration plans and intend to identify the best resources from within both organizations to serve on integration task forces. We will be working toward the smooth and timely combination of our businesses later this year if we successfully complete this transaction.

Will my manager change?

Until closing we will continue to operate as usual. It is too early in the process to provide a specific answer to this question. Details of the structure of the combined management team will be communicated following the closing of the transaction, and as appropriate as part of the integration of the two organizations.

Will our customers be notified of this proposed combination?

We intend to ensure that all consumers receive notification of the offer of acquisition as rapidly as possible, and we will continue to communicate with them as appropriate throughout the transition until the close. However, until close, we will continue to operate business as usual.

How will we know what is happening over the next few months?

The management teams for both companies are committed to communicating with you as the transaction is finalized in a timely and consistent manner about the progress of the transaction, integration planning activities, and what it means to employees.
