I am currently allowed to work a flex schedule of 7am to 4pm; does Cameron offer a flex hour work schedule? If so what are their hours? If not will they allow us to continue working our flex schedule after the merger is complete? |
Although Cameron does not offer formal flex programs such as 9/80s, managers do have the ability to assign work hours that vary from a regular 8 am to 5 pm schedule. Your 7-4 work schedule most likely will not be impacted by the merger.
Forward-Looking Statements
Information set forth in this document may contain forward-looking statements, which involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Cameron cautions readers that any forward-looking information is not a guarantee of future performance and that actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking information.
Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the benefits of the business combination transaction involving Cameron and NATCO, including future financial and operating results, the new company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not historical facts.
The following additional factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: the ability to satisfy the closing conditions of the transaction, including obtaining regulatory approvals for the transaction and the approval of the merger agreement by the NATCO stockholders; the
risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully; the risk that the cost savings and any other synergies from the transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; disruption from the transaction making it more difficult to maintain relationships with customers, employees or suppliers; the impact of other acquisitions that Cameron or NATCO have made or may make before the transaction; competition and its effect on pricing; and exploration and development spending by
E&P operators. Additional factors that may affect future results are contained in Cameron’s and NATCO’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which are available at the SEC’s web site http://www.sec.gov. Cameron and NATCO disclaim any obligation to update and revise statements contained
in these materials based on new information or otherwise.
