My understanding is that VMC will just be an internal department of the new AM - essentially the same as a company that has a sales department and a manufacturing department. Keeping this department called VMC allows all the existing contracts with third parties that were signed as VMC to still be valid. Having to go back and redo all of those contracts would delay production IMO
I also think that this is why ken is keeping VMC around.
It was a bit of a bumpy road but I am happy with this current contract.
