The following is a letter to Informatica Corporation (“Informatica”) partners from Charles Race, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Field Operations:

Dear Valued Informatica Partner,

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. We owe a large part of our success to a rich ecosystem of more than 400 partners who understand the needs of our business and are invested in our success. As a company with some of the highest customer retention rates in the industry, our priority is to deliver the award-winning service, support, and product offerings that our customers 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 partnership 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/

Transaction FAQ for Employees

What was announced?

Why did the Board decide to enter into this agreement to be acquired?

In addition, this transaction delivers immediate and compelling value to our shareholders.

·                  We are still operating as a public company and the change to a private company will not occur until/if the deal closes.

How does this affect my unvested stock options and restricted stock unit awards?

·                  Stock Options: All stock options, whether vested or unvested, that are outstanding immediately before the closing of the transaction will be cashed out after the close.

·                  The value will be determined by multiplying the number of options by $48.75 minus the $exercise price. (($48.75- your exercise price) x (# of options))

·                  Any underwater options (ie with an exercise price above $48.75) will be cancelled without any payment.

·                  RSUs: All outstanding restricted stock units (RSUs) that would have vested within 18 months from the date of the closing of the transaction will vest at closing and be paid out in cash. The value will be determined by multiplying the number of RSUs by $48.75. For any remaining RSUs, the vesting period will be accelerated by 12 months i.e., RSUs that would have vested in 2018 will instead vest in 2017, subject to continued employment at Informatica. These will also be paid out in cash at $48.75 per share upon the applicable new vesting date.

·                  All cash payments will be paid without interest and are subject to applicable tax withholdings.

·                  Cash payments with respect to all options and any RSUs that vest at closing will be paid generally within 30 days.

·                  How does this affect the ESPP program and my participation?

·                  The current purchase period, which is scheduled to end July 31, 2015, will continue until the earlier of (a) July 31, 2015 or (b) the date of closing of the transaction, and accumulated payroll deductions of participants under the ESPP will be used to purchase shares on that date. The purchase price of these shares will be 85% of the fair market value price at either the beginning or ending of the purchase period, whichever is lower (as per the usual terms of the ESPP program).

·                  No new purchase periods will begin under the ESPP.

·                  As of April 6, 2015, you no longer will be permitted to increase your contribution rate under the ESPP for the current purchase period.

·                  The ESPP will be terminated upon the closing of the transaction.

What will happen to the corporate bonus?

What will happen to the merit process?
