There is additional context in the Bloomberg article posted this morning. [1, 2]

Based on the timestamps, kinda looks like the Otto blogpost was prompted by the Bloomberg article -- even though the "agreements were reached" in July according to Bloomberg.

The agreements were reached but the press release wasn't until today. Also it is likely employees of both companies weren't informed until today.

My thoughts exactly, but can't confirm.
