You are a strategist for Cobalt Cloud, a legacy enterprise data storage company. You are proposing the acquisition of GreenShift Cloud, a smaller data storage company. GreenShift owns an AI model that optimizes server energy usage. You need to present your acquisition proposal and argue for its regulatory feasibility using the facts below: Fact Sheet:  Acquirer (Cobalt Cloud): 25% market share (declining). Main problem: Operating costs are rising due to energy prices; customers are leaving for “greener” competitors.   Target (GreenShift Cloud): Startup. 4% market share. Owns an AI algorithm that reduces data center energy consumption by 40%.  Source A (FTC Statement): “The FTC is currently blocking mergers where one company would become the only storage option for businesses in a specialized market such as healthcare records or government cloud storage”.  Your Counter-Argument: Both Cobalt and Greenshift operate in the general cloud storage market, where several major competitors already exist, so choice in specialized markets is not affected.  Prompt: Using only the facts above, write a persuasive letter proposing this acquisition to Cobalt Cloud’s Board of Directors AND arguing for its regulatory feasibility. Requirements:  300 words maximum. Exceeding 300 words will result in an ungraded assessment. Identify the Acquirer and Target. Rationale: Objectively state the business problem and the solution. Make feasibility claim: State clearly that the deal is feasible from a regulatory standpoint. Address the Risk: Briefly mention the risk from Source A and dismiss it using the “Counterargument” fact provided. Evidence: Must incorporate data from the provided sources to prove your point. Citations: Must cite the sources using brackets at the end of the sentence whenever you use their information. For example: The company controls less than a third of the market (Source A).   Tone: Use formal, future-oriented language (e.g., “This acquisition would allow…”). Do not use first-person pronouns (“I think,” “We should”) or subjective adjectives (“amazing,” “perfect match”).
