Dear Colleagues:
This morning on Tuesday, December 23, 2014 Telstra announced a Definitive Agreement to acquire Pacnet. The agreement is subject to regulatory and approvals, which are expected to complete by mid-2015.
Throughout the regulatory approval process and the completion of the acquisition, we will keep you updated and informed on the integration process.
The integration of Telstra and Pacnet will greatly enhance the combined entity’s position as a provider to international customers across Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Americas, Middle East and Africa. Today, Telstra has licenses internationally, and facilitates access to more than 2,000 Points-of-Presence in 230 countries and territories.
Having served customers in the region for 30 years and 14 years respectively, Telstra and Pacnet share a common focus on customer satisfaction. We look forward to combining the skills and experiences of our employee bases to establish best practices to maintain or improve upon the services that our customers have come to expect.
Last but not the least, David Thodey, Telstra’s Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director, has recorded a video message to welcome you all. Please watch the video here.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your managers or drop us a note direct.
We appreciate and value your continued dedication to the company!
Yours sincerely,
Carl & David
