No change to the deal narrative — this is a routine employee communication. Monitor for the filing of the S-4 registration statement and joint proxy, which will contain key financial projections and voting timelines. Hedge regulatory and shareholder approval risk; the long timeline (H1 2027) leaves room for antitrust challenges or competing bids.
