The options language for E1s and above say a “change in ownership or Control” would trigger all unvested RSUs to vest so you don’t have to wait the continuous 3 years cycles for all your options to vest.

Did that actually happen with the sale?

Name to watch

August 31st.

FIS either realized their mistake in record time, or need additional time to line up a buyer.

This is far more strategic than first appears as it gives Enterprise customers options while feeding IBM’s strategy of buying SW innovations.

1. It grows IBM’s Mainframe moat for the Fortune 500 - 1000 (expands the mainframe monopoly)
2. It opens up SW acquisition opportunities thus allowing IBM to expand its distribution model while also shrinking IBM’s legacy SW in house development model

Maybe its a culture change. Every Sun employee who was not be retained by Oracle received a live phone call from the direct manager. "Oracle will not be offering you a job". Then you received correspondence about the separation arrangements, which, for directors and V.P.s were consistent with the "change in control" provisions. Maybe the numbers here made personal calls difficult, but feels pretty cold.

Looks like Truist Financial Corporation is gonna get scooped up by Citigroup later this year. Bill and the execs will ride off into the sunset laughing their tails off at us with a massive windfall. The rest of us? We’ll be lucky just to hang onto our jobs. Massive layoffs feel inevitable. And yeah, from what I’ve heard, the employee culture at Citi su-ks ba--s.

If accurate there is a Big Payday headed for Bill and crew. It has just been leaked that Citi corp is considering buying Truist or PNC. My money is on Truist at a discount. Of course, executive leadership will be well compensated. That is not likely the case for the remainder of Bill’s “teammates.”

Bloomberg posted a story that citi execs are contemplating ways to grow deposits domestically through regional bank acquisitions. USB and TFc in play.

And yes. Aware that C “dismissed the baseless speculation “

How many operating council members and other “paper tiger” execs survive? Shouldn’t take long to figure out the incompetence.

The articles that just came out about the rumors of Citi seeking to acquire a regional bank speculate about PNC and Truist but it will be USB. The McKinsey mafia will ensure Kedia has a role at the combined organization.

Another 52 week low with the stock today and has fallen under major support

If it continues to fall then it very likely PE take over, strip the company to bare bones and break it up for parts

See if people get let go ……..

NCR Voyix has agreed to sell its bank technology solutions business in Japan to local IT services provider NTT Data.

The transaction is expected to close "by the end of 2026", according to NCR Voyix, while financial terms have not been disclosed.

The business operates under the brand name NCR Commerce Japan and specialises in foreign exchange, lending, call centre, video teller, and network solutions for financial institutions.

Much like when First Data came in, why hasn't anyone else scooped in to take over and acquire the client base? Only thing of value are the customers we still have.

Seems the place is ripe for the taking.

I’m shocked that they just bought another company when they have said publicly many times they will stop for a while (they just bought a new one last week)

How is the ceo able to say one thing in earnings and within a month do the opposite

Many investors want to exit their positions in FIS, but most of them are currently down by 30% to 50%, and some even by 70%. Because of these heavy losses, they are unwilling to sell at this point. What investors really want is either a strong turnaround in the company’s performance that drives the stock price up, or for FIS to be acquired by a major industry player so they can recover some value.

However, FIS has a very large workforce, and no major company is interested in acquiring such a high‑headcount organization. As a result, FIS has begun outsourcing and laying off employees to significantly reduce its full‑time workforce—potentially by up to 50% compared to today. This process is expected to continue through the end of the year. Once the company becomes leaner and more cost‑efficient, a sale becomes more likely

The past year and a half has felt a bit like end game.
