Inform Acquisition:
Earlier today, SuccessFactors announced an agreement to acquire Inform, the global leader in analytics and workforce planning. The addition of this innovative technology and team accelerates SuccessFactors' offerings, expanding our customers' ability to solve their biggest problem - bridging the gap between strategy and results. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, SuccessFactors will pay $25.5 million in cash and approximately $15 million in SuccessFactors common stock for Inform, with additional contingent consideration payable based on the fulfillment of continuing employment and the achievement of specified growth targets.
On a pro forma basis and excluding the write-down of the deferred revenue balance and any contingent consideration expense, the acquisition is expected to be neutral to SuccessFactors' net income.
The acquisition is expected to close in Q3 2010, subject to customary closing conditions.
