Janice,
These are excerpts that I (IMOHO) indicates a lot more going on, fullfilling a business plan, planned for a future date?
"the post-merger entity which will be created"
"pursuant to its merger plans and reorganization concept"
"post-merger challenges and opportunities that will arise for our new ventures"
"We will serve in this capacity until all of the merger details have been completed,"
These excerpts have no direction but to the future.
