This right here is the salient point, which explains among other things why she called it an open letter. It's not good news, and the implication is the letter is addressing Puppet employees, cc general public. Although she's desperately spinning it as positive, the fact that the announcement came from the acquiree's side, not the acquirer implies this was an end of the line option for them, maybe even a fire sale. And the CEO's writing style here does little to dissuade one from drawing the conclusion Puppet has been suffering through a lack of anything resembling leadership from her for the past 3 years.
