The terms are subject to final approval by the US Bankruptcy Court, in a hearing scheduled for March 23, 2006. "We're excited to become a part of Lucent, and believe our customers will benefit from end-to-end solutions available from a single source as a result of the combination of our businesses," said Riverstone Networks president and CEO, Oscar Rodriguez. Ken Wirth, president, Multimedia Network Solutions at Lucent, said: Riverstone's people and products will play an important role in advancing Lucent's end-to-end converged ethernet/optical solutions and helping us in our efforts to take share of a growing carrier ethernet market." The parties expect the transaction to close in early April. |
