TB: Hi. This is Tim Brill, Director of Communications, and I'm delighted to be joined by Kevin Loosemore, Executive Chairman, to discuss a really important announcement just issued today. Kevin what have we announced?

KL: Today we’ve announce the merger of Micro Focus and the software business of HPE, Hewlett Packard Enterprise. This is a significant day in the life of Micro Focus having turned 40 years old as a company just a couple of weeks ago. This transaction will increase our size to about 4.5 billion in turnover and the number of employees will go up to over 15,000.  It will truly establish Micro Focus as one of the leading independent providers of infrastructure software in the World.

TB: So this is a really significant announcement for the business. Why are we doing this? Why does it make sense for us?

KL: You’ll all be familiar with the fact that we’ve said that we play in the mature infrastructure software space and what we do is we try and provide value to customers who’ve made investments over many years in software and help them link that older software to the newer technology trends. That marketplace is consolidating and this is an opportunity for us, one of the unique opportunities, to actually become a bigger scale player so we can better serve our customers and our partners and actually provide more value to that customer set.

TB: You say that additional scale is going to be helpful for customers as we provide value to them, can you talk a little bit more about that? Why does that help customers?

KL: A lot of our customers have many generations of IT and we've been involved with them over many years as they’ve evolved their IT infrastructure. That gives them challenges in how they manage it and then there's always the drive to link to the newer technologies - to link to mobile, to link to the cloud, the Internet of things - as those things come along. We have a body of expertise in Micro Focus (and increasing that body significantly with this merger) to enable us to help customers in those endeavours and to actually get more out of what they’ve already got rather than the throwaway culture of “throw it away and get something new”.

TB: How about all of us as employees? How is this going to change our lives?

KL: Initially there won't be any change. We’ve announced the transaction today but it'll probably be getting on for a year before it’s actually finalised due to the regulatory process that we have to do. So in the first instance I'd encourage you to focus on serving our customers, doing what we do successfully everyday and have done for 40 years now as a company. When we get to the point where we actually bring the businesses together, we’ll be a significantly larger organisation, we’ll have greater presence in many countries, we’ll have a greater product set but we’ll still keep to the ethos of being a software company. “We make software, and we sell software” and that's what should be driving everyone's behaviour day-to-day now as we go forward separately and then when we eventually come together in about a year's time.

TB: You mentioned this will take up to a year to complete the transaction. What are the phases that lead up to that completion? What happens in the year?

KL: First off we’ve announced the transaction today. We then have to do some regulatory filings in the US to the Securities and Exchange Commission and we have to do some filing is in the UK so that we can actually get approval of our shareholders and we’ll need a vote from our shareholders. At the same time Hewlett Packard has to separate their software business employees from the rest of their business, which in many countries will need discussions with the local works councils and local employees.   So all that work will need to be done. At the same time, we’ll be engaging in planning activities with people from both sides of the business looking at how we will operate when eventually it comes together in much the same way as we did with the Attachmate acquisition and the Serena acquisition earlier this year.

TB: Kevin you've been involved in a number of acquisitions with Micro Focus. Why does this one particular excite you?

KL: I think this one excites me because what we're creating is a business which can genuinely serve customers at scale, across multiple product ranges, in multiple geographies and I think this part of the market’s going to continue to consolidate. So I think what we will have built is a company which is capable of leading in that consolidation and I see other opportunities coming along and it's not a question of being bigger for the sake of being bigger. It’s being bigger to actually serve our customers better but actually to provide more opportunities for our employees as we go forward but without having to abandon the things that people know and love. We’re not abandoning old products we’re actually making them more relevant and more useful and actually extending the life of these things as we move forward.

TB: Kevin, thank you very much and I look forward to hearing more. We all look forward to hearing more about this transaction over the coming months.

KL: Thank you

TB: And thanks to everyone for joining us.  There's a raft of information on the intranet, where you can find out a lot more about this exciting development. There's some useful FAQs there and a place where you can pose any questions you may have.  Look out for more information over the coming weeks and thank you for joining.
