>>Makes sense to me.
Well, not really.
Unless a company feels that its own statement will make some difference to the result, then its difficult to see any advantage to making a statement beyond the ego of the CEO.
Then they have to consider which result they would prefer - and there may be differences within that; what is best for them, what is best for the UK, what is best for the EU, what is best for their customers, may all be different.
Further there is the fact that most of these companies are all across Europe and they may feel that a change for the UK will be balanced by an opposite change elsewhere.
We don't know what the company strategy is, and whether or not EU changes will support, hinder or provide excuses for that
Still there is the doubt over what impact, if any, it will actually have.
And in the midst of that is the difficulty of actually knowing what impact the political environment will have.
All in all, was I in charge, no statement would be my strategy with a mild preference for no change and a whole lot of preparation to make sure I could take advantage of possible change - and there will be some advantages.
Again, there is not likely to be anything short term dramatic or significant.
