April 7, 2015

Dear Valued Informatica Customer,

Today, Informatica announced that the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved a definitive agreement to be acquired by a company controlled by the Permira funds and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB). We are very excited about this transaction and believe that Permira and CPPIB are ideal allies and partners in Informatica’s journey.

We are very pleased to have found partners in Permira and CPPIB. Permira is a growth-focused international private equity firm that specializes in five key sectors: Consumer, Financial Services, Healthcare, Industrials, and Technology, Media, and Telecommunications (TMT). CPPIB is a professional investment management organization that invests in public equities, private equities, real estate, infrastructure and fixed income instruments.

With today’s announcement, Informatica is strongly positioned for an even brighter future. On completion of the transaction, we will have new world-class partners with unparalleled global experience.

At Informatica, we have always been passionate about the service and solutions we offer to our customers and we take great pride in playing a role in your success. As a company with some of the highest customer retention rates in the industry, our priority is to continue to deliver the award-winning service, support, and product offerings that you have come to expect from us. It is business as usual at Informatica, and I encourage you to reach out to your regular contact with any questions or concerns.

Importantly, our vision, strategy, and plans remain unchanged. Our vision is to power the data-ready enterprise.

Our three-pronged growth strategy is: 1) to expand across all major geographic regions, 2) to grow across all customer data initiatives, and 3) to advance technology leadership in all things data.

Our go-to-market plans remain the same with five compelling solutions: total customer relationship, next generation analytics, cloud modernization, application consolidation, and data governance.

Finally, our innovation roadmap still consists of our four billion-dollar opportunities: MDM, Big Data, Cloud Integration, and Data Security.

We expect the transaction to be completed in either the second or third quarter 2015, subject to shareholder approval and customary regulatory approvals. In the meantime, we are focused on effecting a seamless transition.

Our commitment to delivering on our vision, strategy and roadmap, remains unchanged.

All of us at Informatica value your business and thank you for your continued support. We will update you as appropriate. As always, if you have any questions please reach out to your regular contact.

We look forward to seeing you at Informatica World 2015, May 11-15, 2015 in Las Vegas - http://www.informaticaworld.com/iw15/

Charles Race
Executive Vice President, Worldwide Field Operations
