The investor record
Portfolio announcements describe the purpose of each proposed or completed transaction. Integration updates follow when there is something sufficiently definite to report. The archive preserves those stages so that an agreement is not silently transformed into a completed acquisition by the passage of time.

Further context
A transaction moves from agreement to close, then into the operating program. Brand changes and service integration appear as separate milestones. This leaves room for the possibility that a common logo arrives before a common process.
