Exhibit 99.4
Email Announcement to Managers
Email to be issued at 6:45 am on Friday, September 16 (day of announcement)
| To: | Imagistics Managers | |
| From: | Marc Breslawsky | |
| Subject: | Important Announcement - Océ to Acquire Imagistics. Webcast Today |
I have exciting news. Today, Océ N.V., a Netherlands based, global leader in the copier, printer and document management industry, announced that it will launch a friendly tender offer to buy all of the outstanding Imagistics shares. What this means is that Océ will acquire Imagistics if the tender is successful.
If the tender is successful, Imagistics will be named “Océ Imagistics” and will be the largest Océ operating company in North America. Effective January 1, 2006, I will lead Océ’s entire North American business and be elected to Océ’s Executive Board, and Joe Skrzypczak will head up the Océ Imagistics business serving the office market in the United States. The Océ Imagistics headquarters will remain in Trumbull, Connecticut.
What does this mean to the Imagistics employee and customer? From a business perspective, this means that we can serve the high volume, commercial printing, facilities management, and software needs of a global customer base. We will continue the best of breed strategy for our products in segments 1-5, complemented by Océ’s high volume products in segments 5-6. From a personal perspective, for the overwhelming number of Imagistics employees, we do not anticipate major changes.
Océ clearly recognizes the great work that has been done by Imagistics employees since the spin-off from Pitney Bowes. We believe they are attracted to the quality of our people, our business model, and our excellent results over the past three and one half years. The two companies have a common culture and their products and markets complement each other perfectly. We believe this transaction is in the best interests of Imagistics employees, customers, suppliers and shareholders.
To learn more about this exciting opportunity, I invite all employees to tune in to a live WebEx presentation today. The webcast will have slides and I will give a verbal presentation. There will be an opportunity to ask questions following my presentation. Additionally, there will be a series of employee meetings at Trumbull, Denver and Melbourne.
You, as an Imagistics manager, should host my WebEx presentation for your employees in your local conference room - below is the schedule of those webcasts. Instructions on how to access the WebEx presentations are at the end of this message. The presentation and my comments will also be posted on the Employee Portal for access at any time after 5:30 pm eastern time today.
For your information, a separate email is being sent to all Imagistics employees, describing the transaction and outlining the events for today.
I will also host an audio only conference call for all Imagistics managers, including RVPs and Directors, at 3:00 pm eastern time today, to address your additional questions. The conference call number is 1-877-316-8656 and the conference ID is 9559687. Please dial in to the conference call at least 5 minutes in advance of the 3:00 pm scheduled start time.
