#acquisition

Last Thursday, one day after the transaction officially closed, employees across the combined organization received emails outlining the status of their employment. For most, the message confirmed continuity. For an estimated 500 CyberArk employees worldwide, including roughly 100 in Israel, it signaled the end of their roles.

This is a genuine question, I am not trolling.
Nothing I've heard so far makes any business sense.

i Heard through the grapevine that September marks the 10-year anniversary of dell buying EMC, where there was a clause that stated " Dell must retain EMC legacy Server ORG for 10 years" In september the rumor is NVIDIA will buy out all of ISG ORG and dell will go back to just selling PC/Laptops >>>>ONE DELL WAY??

Activist investor Jana Partners has reportedly purchased a stake in payments company Fiserv.

Now, Jana is campaigning for changes to boost Fiserv’s underperforming stock. Their track record in the past:

• Whole Foods Market (2017): Jana took ~9% stake, pushed for improvements; Amazon acquired it later that year (major profit for Jana).
• PetSmart (2014): Jana held ~10%, advocated sale; acquired by BC Partners for $8.7B.
• Pinnacle Foods (2018): Pushed operational changes; sold to Conagra for $8.1B.
• Frontier Communications: Called for strategic review/sale; stock rose significantly; later acquired by Verizon.

Any good acquisitions being looked at for growth in sales and gathering new innovations? For the right price Solventum could be a good value.

I keep hearing that Archwell is going to buy the clinics in Florida? So there won't be anymore wellmed or optum clinics. Has anyone heard anything???

biweekly layoffs.

Can't integrate out tools and acquisition but bring AI in to fix everything

You got your PEP+, you got your DNA, you got your Clover, bo-m, you got a payments company.

Why not go all the way? What's stopping us from going all out with buying them? I thought we had endless money to empower us to be a global force in entertainment. If we lose out on this, I see another cut so big the wound will never heal.

Enjoy.

… is Xerox the saviour you thought it would be ?

Or a real ‘frying pan into the fire’ journey for you all ?

Water fountain rumors are that GoGo and Southernland have been meeting with outside legal teams negotiating an acquisition of P66. Anybody have any insight?
Watching the stock trades of the ELT and Board definitely makes one wonder if there might be some validity to the rumors…

mas in talks to take over field work. they have given a very strong offer that could save the company tons ..... stay strong people could get bumpy

Why the layoffs now? Did they waste too much money buying part of Tik Tok?

990s show were in over our head and a certain assistant said we’re in talks to “merge” which is actually a dissolution due to acquisition of assets. 4 colleges refused to “merge” so one big closer to Philadelphia allegedly is buying our land and assets.

Ok.. my understanding is depts such as Hr, finance and IT are vistance networks
So what happens then if Ruckus and aurora networks are both sold off

Due to principles in Semiconductor manufacturing and moores law, GFs products will enter the low cost semiconductor market within 36 months.
SiPho isn’t capturing as much market demand as previous anticipated, and GaN is somewhat niche. Larger scale (7+nM) technologies will become cheap, consumer scale electronics that mostly any foundry in the world will be able to successfully manufacture. GF will scrape along for some time, missing Quarterly targets here, laying off staff there, cutting cost all the way as they try to keep investors and BoD happy. When NYS incentives run out, GF will consider being acquired by other manufacturers. My bet would be TSMC as they continue US expansion, with some potential for Intel as well. Only hurdle is US administration woes, however, GF is not an American company. This is furthermore complicated by massive deficits in skilled labor, prevalence of AI, and opportunities for robotic automation that will present themselves over the next 36 months.
Any employees considering this as FUD, ask yourself, where do you see GF in 5 years? Are things feeling concrete? Or do you feel some ripples in the water.
Costs of production are going up, which always results in profits going down, especially when producing antiquated tech.

Its Feb and everyone is saying they are coming but name departments please. Morrows kickoff meeting was this week.

I had a reliable source tell me something big is about to be announced but wouldnt say. has to do with us being sold, buying, or going public is all they said.

I was at Kroger today and saw two DSLs from different companies preparing for a grand opening. Hard to believe they weren’t the same person. HR must be close behind.

There's a lot of bi--hing and moaning about Sales comments on this board.

Perspective:

Without Sales, none of you would have a job. Without Engineering, people would still have a job because Engineering doesn't deliver or do anything. Dell's model is to acquire companies with good but declining products and sell them to its install base - with no plan or skill set to continue innovating or developing these products out further - and keep selling them until there's nothing left. Case in point, EMC products we sell today are the same as they were 10 years ago.

Question? What successful products has Dell engineering developed organically that didn't originate from an acquisition? Name one.

Now that we see Crown Castle is going to weasel out on the RSUs for the 20% of people they are laying off tomorrow, it made me wonder about this corporate squeeze-play they are doing with RSUs for those in the perimeter.
I’ve been a project manager long enough to know when a project plan has a massive hole in it. Right now, the company is spinning this "retention incentive" like they’re doing us a favor. But look at the math: they are accelerating what we already earned from last year, while completely cutting us out of the 2026 LTI grant.
There are over half of us moving to Zayo or EQT. That means over half the company just got hit with a massive compensation gap while those remaining get the full bag.
For those of us in the field, those RSUs are a huge part of our total pay. If you take that away, it’s basically a constructive pay cut.
A few things that don’t sit right:

1. The SEC filings say the company has to operate in the "ordinary course of business" until the deal closes. Skipping a standard annual grant for a couple thousand people doesn’t sound like "ordinary course" to me. It sounds like a budget hack to make the books look better for the buyers.
2. Does this trigger "Good Reason" for us having a material reduction in compensation is grounds to walk with full severance.
3. We already saw the Byler v. Crown Castle class action pay out for the California crew. Do they really want 2,000 more of us filing a bad faith suit while they’re trying to close a multi-billion dollar deal?
   Accelerating my old money doesn't make up for stealing my new money. If Zayo isn't putting a "bridge grant" in our offer letters, Crown Castle is leaving us high and dry.
   Time to stop being "Castle Casualties" and start asking questions about our rights, too.

Lots of big swinging di-ks flying into NY next week for earnings. Seems like lots of people behind closed doors these days all over the place. Merger? Major Acquisition? Feels like something different.

Now that you have been acquired by Texas Instruments, allow me to foreshadow what’s in store based on how the Lehi acquisition went.

66% of you are getting laid off. No one is safe. Start looking NOW!

Your leadership will tell you how great TI is. How we do not do layoffs and have great profit sharing of 20%. This is a LIE. We have quarterly layoffs and profit sharing has been severely curtailed for 2026.

Older employees will be “managed out“ to avoid illegal age discrimination. Document everything! Save every email! Do not sign any forms without consulting a labor lawyer! HR IS YOUR ENEMY!

You will be encouraged to bust your butt during the transition. Don’t. You are probably going to lose your job. Spend that energy finding a new one.

Anyone have any thoughts about the pending SiLabs aquisition?

As someone on Visa, I am losing a hair a second. Hoping someone big buys us.

He’ll blame this latest stock debacle on forces beyond our control. His usual victimhood.

That doesn’t explain the fact that he had a complete id--t running the product organization for 10 yrs who had neither the capability nor the temperament for the job.

Not to mention one disastrous acquisition after another, including the final nail in the coffin, Neustar.

I'm part of the filtration group that Thermo purchased from Solventum. It's unclear what exactly their plans are for us, but they seem to be moving real slow to spend any capex on the things we need. I think they really underestimated how intertwined we were with both 3M and Solventum. It also seems like we spend significantly more on R&D than Thermo as a whole. Are we all sc--wed? What has thermo's timeline been in the past for cutting people after an acquisition? Thanks.

Fifth Third Bancorp finalized its purchase of Comerica Bank. The deal officially closed on Monday, February 2.

Rebranding of Comerica branches to Fifth Third will begin in September.

This all-stock deal was valued at $12.3 billion.

The Federal Reserve and shareholders approved the deal last month.

Not sure how you are able to give up more exec seats and move the company headquarters to the smaller company but DVN was able to do it!
