Dear Quantum supplier,
On May 2, 2006 Quantum announced a definitive agreement to acquire Advanced Digital Information Corp (NASDAQ: ADIC). The two companies are joining to provide customers with the most comprehensive and integrated range of solutions for securely storing, managing, protecting and recovering their data in open IT environments.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, as well as approval by ADIC shareholders. Quantum expects this to take 3-4 months, during which time the two companies will continue to operate independently. In the meantime, it’s business as usual. We value our relationship with you and look forward to speaking with you soon.
Regards,
Jim Mudd
VP WW Supply Chain Management
