With Irish takeover laws, its approval is typically 30 days post scheme meeting/shareholder vote which is scheduled for Feb. 24.
On Jan. 30, the FTC issued a “second request” which is a request for additional information - just to appease Elizabeth Warren’s dumb ass public request for them to “scrutinize” the deal made on Jan, 26. Once the additional info is submitted (which has likely already occurred), the FTC has max 30 days to issue their decision.
The facts point to a close at the end of March/beginning of April.

So, what facts do you know of that point to June?

I spoke with a senior VP in Vegas. The FTC slowed things down. June earliest. But keep thinking you are correct I could care less.

What do account managers get? I assume an upgraded car. What type of cars are the Chemocentryx people driving?

account managers are reps with fancy titles. We have KAMs and they get rep cars. You aren't special. You are a rep. Enjoy your Ru!

One of the meanest at TO runs fleet and she despises reps. Hates them with the fire of a thousand suns. You cross her and you will get a used smoker car with 40k that someone used to haul mulch.

It’s “couldn’t care less”, moron, and one of the VPs also said that he didn’t think that a deal would be agreed upon on back in Dec when the deal had actually been inked (the history is in the transaction document). The VPs are not being told hardly anything, especially not the timeline on the submission of the info for the second request from both companies.

Well without reps out selling...and KAMs pushing things through key accounts that bitch wouldn't have a job. I'll definitely put her in her place if she gives me any attitude.

And you are right I'm a Rep. Proud of it too. I help and look out for patients when others won't. I make a difference. That is my why. Amgen is going to learn a lot from us. You will be better reps for it.

That’s the same thing that everyone in the field has assumed since December before the FTC gave the second request because June 12 (I think) was the original close by date. My spouse works in M&A. It can take 30 days or multiple months to get all of that info submitted for a second request. It will probably take Amgen much longer to put it together given their size, and Horizon won’t be informed of all of the details of their process given that they are still 2 separate entities. It’s usually an insane amount of data, but sometimes the companies can negotiate with the FTC to provide less than the original request. Unless they’ve submitted all of it, they don’t even know how long it will take - won’t know until it’s all complied & submitted. It will be a max of 30 days after submission. So, people can pretend that they know something if they want to, but it’s a crap shoot at this point. It is possible that it is done by April or it could go past June.

Any chance amgen takes this as an opportunity to leave California/keep Deerfield office?
Click to expand...

Bob confirmed at our NSM that amgen bought us for our people. They want to learn from us...they want to know our "whys"! So I think a good chance they keep Deerfield and integrate our culture into amgens. As Bob said "a chance to create something special".

I heard the same thing come out of his mouth. Tim also echoed it. This might not be as bad as everyone thinks. We really do have a lot to offer in terms of profitability and what we have accomplished with so few people. Who wouldn't want to make more money with less expenses? If they do keep an open mind I think Amgen will learn a lot about how to run a pharmaceutical business!

Damn, you people are gullible. Per the email that was sent out which stated an amendment to the transaction agreement “Amgen takes time to get to know incoming employees; if there are departures without cause within the first several months following the closing, these would likely be initiated by the employee rather than Amgen.”. They aren’t even guaranteeing that there won’t be layoffs in the first several months…it’s LIKELY there won’t be. Even LG the GM of the GBU said that initially Amgen was looking to have the Enbrel reps sell Krystexxa, though she doesn’t believe they will do that now. The point is that they are looking to condense as much as they can, and did not buy us for the people. There WILL BE significant layoffs, especially in Deerfield. They bought us for the drugs…mainly Tepezza. Big pharma does not value people, especially Amgen. They reorg to cut as many people as they can on a regular basis.
