Mergers and Acquisitions
Always create and distribute press releases about a merger with or the acquisition of another company. The news release should be issued by the company doing the acquiring, or, in the case of a merger, by the company whose name will be retained. The release can include quotes from executives of both organizations, extolling the virtues of the transaction. The release can include an 'About' section for each company. The 'About' section for the company issuing the release comes first.

Include quotes from executives of both companies, describing the advantages to the transaction and when the transaction is expected to close.
