Do you anticipate a reduction in force as a result of this
transaction?
When two successful growing companies join together, the result is a
combined organization that creates new and exciting opportunities.
The combination will lead to powerful new areas of innovation, new
products and solutions, and an acceleration of our respective growth
agendas. At the same time, there will be some duplication of employee
functions between the two companies, and upon the close of the
transaction, we anticipate some level of reduction in force. While we
anticipate the integration team will identify opportunities for cost
savings, the primary motivation for this acquisition is to continue
to expand and grow our businesses into new markets.
