Top answer

It is a bit ambiguous, but considering emerge in its stricter sense, it means that he came out of the meeting, having learned some unhappy facts therein, so that he had some critical comments to make, pointedly ( strongly and directly ), to the company. Emerge can be used as a formal synonym for come out in many contexts.
