The legal team stated that the information was critical to Twitter’s business and financial performance and required to finalise the transactions outlined by the merger agreement because it is required to ensure the platform’s satisfaction with the conditions to closing, and to facilitate Musk’s financing and financial planning for the transaction and also engage in transition planning for the business.
