Norwegian term or phrase: sammenslåingsårsmøte

joint annual meeting
Explanation:
I would phrase the whole sentence as follows: "On April 3, Industri Energi Statoil and Industri Energi Hydro merged during their joint annual meeting." I thought of "annual merger meeting," but that doesn't sound too good since it would imply that they meet every year to merge.
