Re: FW: Important news for customers of BMC Software

I woke up to this email this morning .. and I was still a bit to sleepy to
go through it but it seems its true afterall.. I thought I was still
dreaming.

 

I wasn't too surprised however - this probably explains some of the recent
lay offs within BMC Software. It probably is somehow connected.

Hi John,

 

This sounds like the standard "cockroach" letter that the Pullman Company
had in the late 19th century.  They sent it to anyone who complained about
cockroaches in their train car.  Of course, it said that they've never heard
this complaint before.  At least, that's what I read.

Dear BMC Customer, 

I am excited to inform you of a very positive development for BMC Software. 

BMC Software
<http://app.go.bmc.com/e/er?s=1545&lid=4458&elq=56354adb90354a77ba09b4fc9b8d
45a7> announced earlier today that the company has signed a definitive
agreement to be acquired by a private investor group led by Bain Capital and
Golden Gate Capital together with GIC Special Investments Pte Ltd ("GICSI")
and Insight Venture Partners. The transaction will take the Company private.


We believe this important step will position us for even greater success and
accelerate our ability to focus on building an even stronger future for our
customers.

As a result of this transaction, BMC expects to have increased flexibility
to invest more strategically to drive powerful innovation and deliver
cutting edge customer solutions. Importantly, this transaction provides BMC
with the potential to accelerate our customer-focused vision for our
company. We are confident that this transaction will allow us to better
serve you.

We expect the transaction to be completed later this year. Throughout the
process, and after the close, the transaction's impact should be seamless to
you.  It will have no impact on the day-to-day operations of our business.
Your BMC contacts remain the same, all current contracts will be honored and
there will be no change in how we conduct our business with you.  

As we move through this process, we will keep you informed of key
developments. If you have any questions, please feel free to call your usual
BMC representative. 

We look forward to building upon our relationship with you and to continuing
to develop the best solutions to address the IT needs within your
organization.

Regards, 

Kim DeCarlis

We believe this important step will position us for even greater success and 
accelerate our ability to focus on building an even stronger future for our
