This is a soft internal communication with zero new deal information. The key event to watch is the DOJ Second Request process — the 8-K filed 9 days ago disclosed a Second Request from the DOJ, extending the HSR waiting period. Monitor for any DOJ challenge, consent decree, or timing updates as the expected H1 2027 close approaches.
