New company plans New York Stock Exchange
listing under ticker symbol “DXC”
DXC Technology will be the name of the new company formed by the
proposed merger of CSC (NYSE: CSC) and the Enterprise Services
business of Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) when the
transaction closes, it was announced today. The full launch of the
new brand will take place worldwide with the debut of the new
company, which is expected on April 3, 2017.
The strategic combination of the two complementary businesses,
which was announced at the end of May 2016, will create the world’s
leading independent, end-to-end IT services company. The new
company is expected to have $26 billion in annual revenues and
nearly 6,000 clients in over 70 countries. Subject to final
approvals, DXC Technology intends to list on the New York Stock
Exchange under the ticker symbol DXC.
“With a mission of leading clients on their digital
transformation journeys, DXC Technology will be recognized globally
as a force multiplier, enabling clients to seize the opportunities
presented by today’s rapidly changing technologies,” said CSC
chairman, president and CEO, Mike Lawrie, who will serve as DXC
Technology chairman, president and CEO upon the close of the
proposed merger. “The DXC Technology brand will be built on a
foundation of trust and transformation, and a relentless drive to
help clients thrive on change. We will focus on producing greater
value for clients, partners and shareholders, along with growth
opportunities for our people.”
“DXC Technology will own a unique and highly differentiated
value proposition,” said CSC chief marketing & communications
officer Gary Stockman, who will serve in the same capacity at DXC
Technology. “Over decades, CSC and HPE ES have successfully met the
challenges of innovation, guiding the world’s largest enterprises
and government agencies through multiple change cycles. Together as
DXC Technology, our technology independence, world-class talent and
industry-leading partner ecosystem will provide a clear and
confident vision for the future.”
Until the completion of the merger, CSC and HPE ES will continue
to operate under their current leadership structures as two
separate organizations. All regulatory clearances that are a
necessary condition to closing this merger have been secured, and
the SEC registration process is ongoing.
Global brand strategy, design and experience firm Siegel+Gale is
supporting the development of the new company brand and
identity.
