Under the terms of the proposed transaction, Salesforce has commenced a tender offer for all outstanding shares of Demandware. The tender offer is scheduled to expire at 12:00 Midnight New York City Time, on Friday, July 8, 2016 (which is the end of the day on Friday, July 8, 2016), unless the tender offer is extended. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of Salesforce's fiscal year 2017, ending July 31, 2016, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the acceptance of a majority of Demandware shares in the tender offer.
