press releases
I know what this is, but don't know if there is an industry term for it in English. It's the end or bottom part of a press release, in which certain details are contained (brief background information on the company, blah, blah, and whom to contact for further information, etc....)
The context below is simply taken from a business newsletter.

press release footer

Comment: "This certainly did the trick for me - although the other answers were certainly helpful in explaining things. The text didn't go into it that deeply however, so I kept it simple and this seemed to say exactly what was 'in the tin' as it were. Thanks!"

about
I've seen it as "about company X" followed by the company boilerplate.

Note to editor but see not
Wen a press release has been sent in UK , one writes 'end'. Any other information is usually presented in one or two ways:
Information such as contact info etc would be preceded by 'for further information.....
anytjhing else would be preceded by 'note to editor' These are commonly used phrases in the profession
(information from hardworking freelance journalist of 30yrs experience-has also worked in national newspapers)...Hope this will be of some use to you
