Outlook
In the spring of 2023, the Corporation made available its voting system for the return of La Voix on TVA. This ninth season recalled how much viewers were attached to the show and especially to the live broadcast that call them to support their favourites. The vote took place from 19 March to 9 April 2023.
Since the signing of the letters of intent, announced on June 21 and updated on May 30, the Company has focused these efforts primarily on the acquisition of one of the two targets and intends to close its acquisition by June 15, 2023. The Company and the target's management are already working in partnership on certain files and have put in place a transition team that operates constructively and effectively so that the operational consolidation between the two organizations will be almost immediate upon the closing of the transaction.
"In a context marked by labour shortages, we are very encouraged by the quality of the human resources of the two Targets with whom we have had to collaborate. In a tightening financial market, we firmly believe in the closing of this transaction and that it will be very beneficial for ATW and the Targets shareholders, its customers and its employees," said Michel Guay, President and Chief Executive Officer.
The synergy of our expertise, skills and technologies in the fields of Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning will bring innovative client companies operational improvements that will provide real and significant measurable productivity and profitability gains.
