"A New Merck" -- Transaction/Transition Site Will Close on November 10, 2009


UPDATED: Friday 11.06.09 @ 10 PM EST -- The video content has now been taken offline -- it was operative this afternoon, at 4:20 PM EST. I wonder whether someone in Whitehouse Station saw the hits coming directly from this site.

No bother -- I already have them cached safely away, on a back-up brick-drive.

The site that Merck and Schering-Plough jointly opened, updated and operated during the pendency of the deal, at www.anewmerck.com, will close on Tuesday night, November 10, 2009, thus [click image to enlarge]:



Most of the content housed there (at least the text portion of it) is permanently filed with the SEC's EDGAR database, so it won't vanish into the ether, as the main Schering-Plough site has.

However, the multimedia content -- for example, the video-stream of CEO Dick Clark's remarks from March 9, 2009 were not filed (as video) with the SEC, so if you want to save them off, for the future comparison of projections -- against actual post-deal performance, do so over the weekend (oops -- too late!).
