(the "Issuer"), which is an affiliate of Bain Capital Partners, LLC, Golden Gate Private Equity, Inc., GIC Special Investments Pte Ltd, Insight Venture Management, LLC and Elliott Associates, L.P. (collectively, the "Sponsors") formed in connection with the acquisition of the Company by an entity affiliated with the Sponsors, intends to privately offer $1,380 million in aggregate principal amount of its senior notes due 2021 to be comprised of dollar denominated notes and euro denominated notes (collectively, the "Notes").

The Notes and the related guarantees will be offered to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Notes and the related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state or other jurisdiction's securities laws. Accordingly, the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements under the Securities Act and any applicable state or other jurisdiction's securities laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities nor shall there be any sale of any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
