Yоu аre а strаtegist fоr Cоbalt Cloud, a legacy enterprise data storage company. You are proposing the acquisition of GreenShift AI, a startup that optimizes server energy usage. Fact Sheet: Acquirer (Cobalt Cloud): Publicly traded. 15% market share (declining). Main problem: Operating costs are rising due to energy prices; customers are leaving for "greener" competitors. Cash on hand: $12 Billion. Target (GreenShift AI): Private startup. Product: An AI algorithm that reduces data center energy consumption by 40%. Valuation: $2 Billion. Rationale: Acquiring GreenShift solves Cobalt's cost issue and rebrands Cobalt as an eco-friendly leader. Feasibility: Cobalt has enough cash to buy GreenShift outright without taking on debt. Prompt: Using only the facts above, write an executive summary proposing this acquisition to Cobalt Cloud’s Board of Directors. Requirements: 250 words maximum. Exceeding 250 words will result in an ungraded assessment. Identify the Acquirer and Target. Objectively state the business problem and the solution (Rationale). Assert the financial feasibility using the specific numbers provided. 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").
