Merger Team Meets to Get Ready for Day 1

In the first week of September, the Merger Management Team gathered for another meeting in The Woodlands, Texas, for joint Huntsman-Clariant working groups which, this time, worked on details for operational procedures for and phases after the closing.

Another step towards the successful closing of the merger that is expected to occur December 2017 / January 2018 was taken in the first week of September, when the Merger Management Team gathered again in The Woodlands, Texas. This time, the working groups comprised of equal numbers of representatives from both companies focused on planning the HuntsmanClariant organizational setup and agreeing operational procedures for the phases after closing the merger.

Detailed planning for Day 1 and beyond

More detailed planning included the steps that have to be taken for “day 1 readiness” — the first day after the closing of the merger — and for day 100 and day 365. While legal and regulatory aspects are the main issues for day 1 readiness, the phase of the first one hundred days will put emphasis on the operations under HuntsmanClariant structure and the new organization in order to leverage synergy opportunities in the best possible way. For the first year as a joint company, performance enhancement and further planning will be the main strategic issues.

Issues with key relevance for day 1 readiness, for example, are IT and communications. To prepare, experts from IT and Communications are currently looking into how a common IT and communication infrastructure should be set up in the transition phase and beyond in order to ensure business continuity. “In this phase we look into the respective IT infrastructures and define the best, fastest, and most valuable solutions for our future organization” said Volker Laska, Head of Group IT. “We will ensure a seamless transition to the new company”.

Kai Rolker, Head of Group Communications, added: “Communication will be key for the successful launch of HuntsmanClariant. In order to keep employees and customers informed about all relevant steps until and beyond the closing of the merger we will take care of frictionless functioning of our intranet and internet solutions.”

The work conducted during the first week of September in The Woodlands will serve as the basis for further planning and an upcoming workshop at the end of September that will look into interdependencies and further preparation of day 1 readiness.

Stay tuned for another merger update later this month/beginning of October with more details on the future organizational set-up.
