Cisco makes recommended offer to acquire TANDBERG
Today, TANDBERG and Cisco announced that Cisco has made an offer to acquire all outstanding shares of TANDBERG. This proposed acquisition would combine TANDBERG's best-in-class video conferencing portfolio with Cisco's world-class collaboration architecture and network capabilities.
Channel partners are critical to both Cisco's and TANDBERG's respective businesses and both companies have significantly invested in their channel programs over the last few years. These programs have been a major contributor to each achieving a leadership position. Following the close of this acquisition we will continue to build on these investments and develop a joint partner program that leverages the skills and experience of our combined partner networks.
Moving forward, our diverse mix of partners worldwide will continue to be critical to the success of the combined company. With a combined channel network, TANDBERG's Video Conferencing and Audio Visual partners will be invaluable in helping to broaden the appeal of Cisco's solutions portfolio and a welcome addition to their channel. Systems Integrators and Service Providers will also benefit from a stronger global services and delivery model.
The combination of TANDBERG and Cisco will create an organization that will yield significant new opportunities for partners to sell a broader range of products and grow their businesses. Together with our partners, we believe we can drive explosive growth in this market.
Whilst this acquisition is an exciting opportunity for all of us, it will require approval from antitrust authorities in some jurisdictions. During the antitrust review period, there will be strict limits on how Cisco and TANDBERG and our respective channel partners can engage. Until the close of the transaction, neither company may engage in joint account planning either directly or through partners.
Provided appropriate governmental approvals are received and Cisco acquires TANDBERG, TANDBERG products will be available on Cisco's pricelist and qualified channel partners will be able to sell both Cisco and TANDBERG joint offerings under an integrated channel program.
I thank you for helping TANDBERG to become the global leader in visual communications and I look forward to working with you as we expand the market together.
