Touch on it briefly. After the major shift in leadership and expectations, you knew the role was ultimately no longer the right fit. You learned from it and then talk about why that new company is the right fit.
Just tell them your company was sold and they had a reorg and let a few people go, including you.
Keep it simple and no one will care.
Best wishes.
You'll need a story that works, and it has to be personal. Generic BS won't read authentic when you're discussing. Clear out an hour, and think strategically about what is both true and makes you look good.
Omit the part about being unable to meet expectations. If it was me, I would talk about the sale and how the new ownership decided to shake up the organization. This happens often when companies are bought out - new ownership wants to hire its people and put its stamp on things.
Your old company legally cannot share any details of the reason for separation. They can verify thst you worked there and no longer do, that's it.
That said, I recommend that you formulate a version of the truth that side steps perceived performance issues, namely because you genuinely don't know the real truth there. Performance is commonly used as a way to let someone go with minimal fight or benefits. Focus on the positives and the message can be that you are looking for more from your career than the previous company could offer. New/different experience, better comp, etc.
I wouldn’t focus on it too much
The company merged with another and I was let go, along with many peers
