LIFECYCLE OF THE INTEGRATION PROCESS

Integration resources will begin validating preliminary plans that have been drafted to support activities during three key integration phases:

Phase One: Pre-Close Planning

During Phase One, AMID and Southcross will still be operating as separate companies. Activities performed during this phase will be closely monitored to ensure they comply with applicable regulatory requirements and legal restrictions. Some of the key outputs of this phase include:

 

    Evaluation of existing roles, processes, systems and policies

 

    Design of the new organization

 

    Identification of critical items that need to be in place on Day 1

Phase Two: Integration Begins at Closing

The objective of Phase Two is to ensure that the newly combined company operates successfully. This phase will address:

 

    Announcement of the new organization

 

    Emergency response plans that must be in place immediately upon close

 

    Assimilation to AMID’s policies, processes, systems and practices on Day 1 and beyond

During this phase, functional teams will be working to an accelerated timeline to execute plans and work through new challenges and opportunities that arise. Good communication and rapid response will be key for our success during this short period. We will reply upon every employee of the new organization to be involved, engaged, and active.

Phase Three: Beyond Integration — Delivering the Integration Value

It will be critical that we establish and achieve long-term goals that align with our vision of the new organization. This will include things such as:

 

    Ongoing identification of opportunities for incremental optimization

 

    Implementation of metrics and reporting mechanisms to mark our success

 

    Communication of progress

All of the integration work involves planning for how the integrated company will operate after the transaction closes. Until the transaction is completed, the parties remain separate and independent competitors in the market, and it remains business as usual for each company .
