SLACK TO EMPLOYEES
From:
Hi team – As you know, STG’s acquisition of Momentive is subject to the approval of our shareholders. We filed our preliminary proxy statement on April 17, 2023. We will
announce the timing of our special shareholder meeting to approve the transaction when we file our definitive proxy statement.
As we continue to work through the requirements to get to closing, a small team of people from Momentive is meeting with the STG team to plan a smooth transition and a great employee experience on
Day 1, with minimal disruption to any of our teams as we work toward our existing plans and goals. Until the transaction closes, it is business as usual for Momentive.
We still anticipate closing in the second or third quarter of 2023 and will keep you posted as we continue to work our way towards closing.
If you have any questions about the transaction, please refer to our FAQ page and Equity Impact page.
