Not sure about why they did it or if they could do it again (I mean, yes they could, but I'm not sure they are in a strong enough position to do so).
Mergers are good for companies in general, partly because they are adding more revenue. However, they make the extra bottom-line profits by cutting employees (i.e. some employees are made redundant).
So, generally good for the bigger company - generally bad for some of the employees of the smaller company.
