Termination of the HSR Act waiting period satisfies one of the conditions to the closing of the transaction. The transaction, which is expected to close in Q1 2017, remains subject to other closing conditions, including shareholder approval and other regulatory approvals.

The transaction, which has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of Citrix and LogMeIn, is expected to be tax-free to Citrix and its shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
