1. PRE-CLOSE BRIEFINGM&A INTEGRATION TEAMS

2. 01 Communication Guidance

3. Communication Guidance for CEO, SC and Leads Three Questions Everyone Will Ask: • Can I trust you? • Are you committed? • Do you care about me? Deliberate – Authentic – Consistent Amplifying Your Voice and Vision • Visibility -- look for opportunities to be visible and face-to-face with people • Boots on the Ground versus Open Door Modeling Behaviors: Set the tone for the team Say/Do: Actions always speak louder than words • In times of low trust, ambiguous words and behaviors are interpreted negatively

4. The Communication Challenge High Your Goal Builds trust, Builds confidence, Engages team, Builds alignment, Fosters action All talk, no action; Lose confidence in leaders Say (What am I saying?) Secrets! Creates aura of mistrust – undermines efforts at transparency No information, no visibility; Climate for disengagement Natural consequence of mergers Low High Do (What am I doing?) Source: Based on Roger D’Aprix “Say/Do Matrix”

5. Communication Plan Objectives “Who’s who? How do I get things done?” Protect the base business; Maintain focus on day-to-day operations Make a good first impression • Deliver Day 1/Welcome Week playbook, timeline and training Support talent retention Transparent, timely communication about what matters Provide functional communication processes, tools, counsel Foster alignment around new company vision, values, goals Integrate and optimize core communication channels Align messaging to all stakeholder groups • Employees • Customers • Suppliers • Others • Investors • Media • Public “What does this company stand for? Do I want to work here?” “What’s happening? How am I affected?”

6. Communication: Never Say These Things “We plan to take the best of both companies.” “Things will continue business as usual.” “This a merger of equals.” “Our cultures are very similar.”
