Median 2013 Revenue Multiples SaaS & Cloud 105 Median 2013 Revenue Multiple of 5.0x marks a new five year high as the market momentum continues Within SaaS & Cloud, median multiples vary considerably between segments } Content Creation & Management, ERP, Supply Chain & Commerce, Finance & Administration and Human Resources segments command median multiples of more than 7x } Content Delivery Services 2013 Revenue multiple stayed flat at 1.8x and represents the lowest multiple within SaaS & Cloud 105 primarily due to its lower margin profile 27 27
Median 2013 EBITDA Multiples SaaS & Cloud 105 Median EBITDA multiple rose sharply in 2013 and currently stands at 16.8x Six of the SaaS & Cloud segments are trading at medians above 20x 2013 EBITDA } Finance & Administration, CRM & Customer Service, ERP, Supply Chain & Commerce and Human Resources trade at over 30x } The premium multiples for SaaS companies versus Licensed Software Leaders illustrates higher expected growth rates and the market s preference for the more predictable recurring revenue business model 28 28
Median 2013 P/E Multiples SaaS & Cloud 105 Median P/E multiples continue to rebound and now stand at a five year high of 28.1x for 2013 } P/E multiples rose in 2009 and 2010 amid investor confidence in an economic recovery, then fell during 2011 as companies achieved expected improvements in profitability ERP, Supply Chain & Commerce, CRM & Customer Service and Human Resources segments trade at medians of more than 50x earnings } The next six segments trade within a tight range of medians of 28-35x earnings 29 29
Median Revenue Growth SaaS & Cloud 105 SaaS & Cloud 105 posted median revenue growth of 19.4% in 2013, though growth is expected to slow to 16.3% in 2014 } The slow down in growth is driven largely by improved prior year numbers, as high growth rates are more difficult to maintain with a SaaS-based model as companies reach greater scale Licensed Software Leaders project just 5.6% growth, reinforcing the market shift towards SaaS-based solutions 30 30
Median EBITDA Growth SaaS & Cloud 105 2013 Median EBITDA growth of 13.4% is up from 10.4% in 2012 but is expected to drop back to 12.0% in 2014 } EBITDA growth drop from 2011 high is more related to stronger prior period performance and increased OpEx spend than a weakening in total profit dollars More than half of the segments are expected to achieve greater than 10% EBITDA growth for 2014 } ERP, Supply Chain & Commerce poor growth projection is due to three smaller companies that are investing heavily in growth and not yet at scale (Channel Advisor, E2Open and SLI Systems) 31 31
Median EPS Growth SaaS & Cloud 105 Median EPS growth increased to 14.8% in 2013 and is expected to retreat to 12.7% in 2014 } Improved prior period profits coupled with a return to investment in growth after several years of cost cutting results in lower EPS growth than 2010 and 2011 Majority of Human Resources companies growth based on reduced losses or turning profitable as only 2 out of 7 companies were profitable in 2013 32 32
Median Gross Margin Trends SaaS & Cloud 105 Median gross margins have improved to 68.7%, a five year high, following the economic recovery Cloud & IT Infrastructure tops the list at 85.0% as newly emerging technologies that enable the cloud to run more efficiently command strong margins The Finance & Administration segment median is being driven down by Xero which has not yet reached scale while some of the ad networks in the Marketing & Advertising segment are facing pricing pressure 33 33
Median EBITDA Margin Trends SaaS & Cloud 105 Median EBITDA margin remained constant at 17.6% as companies reinvest commensurate with growth Several high growth companies in Human Resources and ERP, Supply Chain & Commerce continue to invest heavily in sales and marketing and are early in the process of achieving scale and profitability The License Software Leaders and other more mature segments like Cloud Computing / Storage already have operating leverage 34 34

After the close of the transaction, UNIT4 will continue as an independent entity, keeping its corporate identity and brand. Advent International is a VC and PE firm specializing in growth buyout, acquisitions, company succession, international expansion and strategic repositioning. With its acquisition of UNIT4, it hopes to accelerate the SaaS business and support its current offering of FinancialForce.com and expand its presence in the existing vertical and horizontal markets. At a deal value of $1.7 billion, UNIT4 was valued at 2.7 times trailing revenues and 18.5 times trailing EBITDA, which 451 Group claims is on par with the median multiples for PE acquisitions in the business applications space for the last two years. Note: LTM and Premiums of last quarter prior to transaction announcement date. 38 38
M&A Transaction Spotlight Acquiror Deal Summary Date: 12/2/2013 Transaction Value: $1.65B % Sought: 100% Consideration: Cash Valuation Metrics Trailing Revenue Multiple: 5.0x Trailing EBITDA Multiple: 55.0x Multiple on $ Invested: 1.6x Investors Thoma Bravo Target Deal Rationale/Commentary Digital Insight provides online banking for consumers and payment processing SaaS for merchants and financial institutions. It was formerly known as Intuit Financial Services and the division was sold to Thoma Bravo for $1.03 billion in June of 2013. Generating a quick profit of $600 million in a mere six months, Thoma Bravo marks one of the more significant private equity flips in recent history. Many in the industry questioned why NCR failed to acquire the opportunity back in June prior to the Thoma Bravo deal, but analysts reported Intuit was seeking a fast closing process and the protocols for acquiring a company at NCR did not meet the time frame. The deal will provide NCR a new source of customers, with more than two-thirds of Digital Insight s 1000 financial institution customers not already using NCR s services. Following the acquisition, which NCR CEO Bill Nuti describes as a historic day for [the] company, there will likely be fundamental changes to NCR s financial service offerings and substantial enhancements to its mobile and online banking services. At a deal value of $1.65 billion, it equates to 5 times trailing revenue, 55 times trailing EBITDA and a return of over half a billion dollars for Thoma Bravo. 39 39

Having entered the cloud computing space late, Oracle has been focusing its efforts to bolster its cloud offerings by acquiring companies such as Nimbula, Compendium and BigMachines to name a few. The acquisition of Responsys marks Oracles seventh acquisition of the year. Responsys marketing software will be integrated into the Oracle Marketing Cloud; the combination of Responsys and Eloqua (acquired in 2012 for $960M) will likely bring forth a vastly featured marketing software, capable of delivering powerful and effective marketing campaigns. The $27 per share offer amounts to a 38% premium over Responsys prior day closing price of $19.52, valuing the company at $1.5 billion. At an astonishing 7.7 times trailing revenues and 106.9 times trailing EBITDA, this deal marks Oracles second billion dollar plus acquisition for 2013. The deal has been approved by the board of directors of Responsys and Oracle expects the deal to close during the first half of 2014. Many analysts and investors speculate Marketo may be next to get acquired, Marketo shares soared as high as 13% during trading hours. 40 40
