Sourcefire FIRE today announced that the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) review period
for the pending acquisition of Sourcefire by Cisco CSCO was terminated on
September 3, 2013 in advance of its scheduled expiration.
The termination of the HSR review period satisfies one of the
conditions necessary for the transaction to close. Sourcefire expects
that, subject to the remaining customary closing conditions,
including the approval of Sourcefire's stockholders, the transaction
will be completed in the fourth quarter.
Cisco and Sourcefire announced the pending acquisition on July 23,
2013 following unanimous approval by the boards of directors of both
companies. The strategic combination of Cisco and Sourcefire will
combine world-class products, technologies and research teams to
provide continuous and pervasive advanced threat protection across
the entire attack continuum -- before, during and after an attack --
and from any device to any cloud.
