M&A Process pt.2
summary
Negotiations prioritize maximizing the overall deal rather than any single term, yielding a commitment to keep a Development Center in Israel, $25 million a year dedicated to endpoint work, and 100% retention of employees from closing day; integration with the parent product happens in under four months, the Israeli branch scales from ~40 to a planned 200 hires in two years, and a September launch targets ~18,000 customers instead of the originally planned 200.
