00:00:00.390 --> 00:00:02.250
Hi, I'm Blake Moret

1
00:00:02.779 --> 00:00:05.000
and I'd like to take a couple of minutes to address 

2
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:07.110
the fast moving recent events 

3
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:09.550
that relate our health and the health 

4
00:00:09.550 --> 00:00:11.640
of those close to us, the way 

5
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:13.849
that we work and our business. 

6
00:00:14.369 --> 00:00:16.839
The spread of Coronavirus and the resulting 

7
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:19.050
slowdowns in trade and travel 

8
00:00:19.589 --> 00:00:21.870
have touched off market volatility, 

9
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:24.870
including a big drop in oil prices 

10
00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:27.559
that further shake financial and business 

11
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:28.280
markets.

12
00:00:29.050 --> 00:00:31.269
In rapidly changing and difficult times 

13
00:00:31.269 --> 00:00:33.530
like these, we focus on the most 

14
00:00:33.530 --> 00:00:35.899
important things that we're responsible for.

15
00:00:36.329 --> 00:00:38.469
That always starts with health 

16
00:00:38.469 --> 00:00:39.280
and safety. 

17
00:00:40.189 --> 00:00:42.289
To that end, we've assembled a team 

18
00:00:42.289 --> 00:00:44.340
of experts within Rockwell who 

19
00:00:44.340 --> 00:00:46.649
are monitoring hourly and daily 

20
00:00:46.789 --> 00:00:48.450
events as they unfold 

21
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:51.130
and following the guidelines of the World Health 

22
00:00:51.130 --> 00:00:53.609
Organization and the Centers for Disease 

23
00:00:53.609 --> 00:00:54.250
Control. 

24
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:57.810
We've recently updated guidelines, 

25
00:00:58.020 --> 00:01:00.030
including travel and general 

26
00:01:00.030 --> 00:01:00.759
safety. 

27
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:03.590
As a company, we have a strong position 

28
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:06.250
envied by all of our competitors. 

29
00:01:07.290 --> 00:01:08.799
We'll weather these storms 

30
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:12.040
continue to invest in our top priorities 

31
00:01:12.379 --> 00:01:13.950
and emerge even stronger.

32
00:01:14.730 --> 00:01:17.090
Culturally, ours is one 

33
00:01:17.629 --> 00:01:20.420
where we work together to address challenges.

34
00:01:20.859 --> 00:01:22.829
Where we respect each other, 

35
00:01:23.129 --> 00:01:25.290
especially during these times

36
00:01:25.469 --> 00:01:27.939
and where we lead by our actions 

37
00:01:28.060 --> 00:01:29.890
with respect to our teams, 

38
00:01:30.340 --> 00:01:32.670
our partners and our customers. 

39
00:01:33.659 --> 00:01:34.670
As a partner, 

40
00:01:35.109 --> 00:01:37.390
your efforts are as crucial as Rockwell's 

41
00:01:37.390 --> 00:01:38.349
in ensuring 

42
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:41.120
that our customers have the best possible 

43
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:42.129
experience. 

44
00:01:42.930 --> 00:01:45.569
Many of our top priority investments 

45
00:01:45.780 --> 00:01:47.799
are aimed at helping you be 

46
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:49.599
as competitive as possible 

47
00:01:49.900 --> 00:01:51.310
and as well supported. 

48
00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:54.909
Know that we stand with you during 

49
00:01:54.909 --> 00:01:56.939
these challenging times and 

50
00:01:56.939 --> 00:01:58.849
thank you for all of your many efforts.
