Cengage and Mcgraw-Hill are Merging Into One Company

Here is the link for the article. As well, they provided a press release in an email to all people working with Cengage/McGraw Hill:

As a valued customer, we are excited to tell you that Cengage and McGraw-Hill announced our intent to join forces today. The combination of our two companies—which bring complementary missions, capabilities and talent to advance student achievement and success—will enable us to deliver more value for you and your students.  
Our CEO, Michael Hansen, has recorded this video to our customers, explaining the "why" behind the merger and Cengage's commitment to the continuation of the products and service you have come to expect from us. In short, the new, combined company will…

• Accelerate and expand affordability initiatives for students 
• Expand access to a broader portfolio of best-in-class content 
• Enhance learning experiences through proven digital platforms and investment in new learner-centric technologies

You can also read more about each of these at BetterLearningTogether.com.  
We expect the transaction to close by early 2020. Until that time, Cengage and McGraw-Hill remain separate companies, and it is business as usual for us and our customers. The products you use will continue to be delivered on time and you will continue to experience the high level of service of which Cengage is proud. 
We continue to offer Cengage Unlimited, so students can enjoy the benefits of access to 22,000 digital products across 675 course areas in one place, at one price.  With 1 million subscribers, Cengage Unlimited has saved students $60M since launch and will continue to reduce costs for students into the future.  After the merger closes, we have the opportunity to expand the Unlimited offering with McGraw-Hill.
In addition to our continued commitment to affordable, high quality course materials, Cengage is committed to a seamless experience for you and your students next academic year. 
If you have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to your Learning Consultant. You can also visit BetterLearningTogether.com to learn more about the merger.  
As updates become available, we will share them with you. We look forward to continuing to provide you with proven products, excellent service, and great value for your students for many years to come!

I think this is going to be horrible, but I would love your thoughts on this.
