RE: | | All Hands Company Update |
Hello Crown Team,
We are excited to announce that we have reached a revised deal with Revance Therapeutics. This marks a significant step forward in the planned merger of the two companies and great progress in our collective pursuit of becoming one of the leading global aesthetics and skincare companies. We expect to commence a tender offer to acquire all outstanding shares of Revance’s common stock later this month. Completion of the transaction is expected early 2025, subject to Revance stockholders validly tendering shares representing at least a majority of the voting power of Revance, and other customary closing conditions. We look forward to sharing more information at a company-wide all-hands meeting this afternoon.
We would like to thank all of you who have helped in our integration planning process thus far and with a revised deal in place, we look forward to your support with more comprehensive integration planning to follow in the coming weeks. At the same time, please remember that until the transaction officially closes, Crown and Revance will continue to operate as two separate companies. It is essential that we continue to provide superb support to our customers and finish the year strong. We look forward to growing the combined organization into a global leader in aesthetics and skincare.
Best,
Jeff and Nadeem
