SailPoint Announces Expiration of "Go-Shop" Period

Transaction Is Expected to Close in the Second Half of 2022

SailPoint Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:SAIL) ("SailPoint"), the leader in enterprise identity security, today announced the expiration of the 35-day "go-shop" period under the terms of the previously announced definitive agreement, pursuant to which Thoma Bravo, L.P. ("Thoma Bravo"), a leading software investment firm, will acquire SailPoint in an all-cash transaction for $65.25 per share. The "go-shop" period expired at 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on May 16, 2022.

During the go-shop period, SailPoint's Board of Directors, with the assistance of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, actively solicited alternative acquisition proposals from potentially interested third parties; however, during the "go-shop" period, SailPoint did not receive any alternative acquisition proposals from any third party.

Following the expiration of the go-shop period, SailPoint became subject to customary no-shop restrictions that limit its and its representatives' ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties, subject to customary "fiduciary out" provisions.

The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2022, subject to customary closing conditions including approval by SailPoint stockholders and receipt of regulatory approvals. Upon closing of the transaction, SailPoint's common stock will no longer be listed on any public market. The Company will continue to be headquartered in Austin, Texas.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on SailPoint's current expectations, estimates and projections about the expected date of closing of the proposed transaction and the potential benefits thereof, its business and industry, management's beliefs and certain assumptions made by SailPoint and Thoma Bravo, all of which are subject to change. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "could," "seek," "see," "will," "may," "would," "might," "potentially," "estimate," "continue," "expect," "target," similar expressions or the negatives of these words or other comparable terminology that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. All forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, and are not guarantees of future results, such as statements about the consummation of the proposed transaction and the anticipated benefits thereof. These and other forward-looking statements, including the failure to consummate the proposed transaction or to make or take any filing or other action required to consummate the transaction on a timely matter or at all, are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements and, therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any such statements and caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: (i) the completion of the proposed transaction on anticipated terms and timing, including obtaining shareholder and regulatory approvals, anticipated tax treatment, unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses, future prospects, business and management strategies for the management, expansion and growth of SailPoint's business and other conditions to the completion of the transaction; (ii) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on SailPoint's business and general economic conditions; (iii) SailPoint's ability to implement its business strategy; (iv) significant transaction costs associated with the proposed transaction; (v) potential litigation relating to the proposed transaction; (vi) the risk that disruptions from the proposed transaction will harm SailPoint's business, including current plans and operations; (vii) the ability of SailPoint to retain and hire key personnel; (viii) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed transaction; (ix) legislative, regulatory and economic developments affecting SailPoint's business; (x) general economic and market developments and conditions; (xi) the evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes under which SailPoint operates; (xii) potential business uncertainty, including changes to existing business relationships, during the pendency of the merger that could affect SailPoint's financial performance; (xiii) restrictions during the pendency of the proposed transaction that may impact SailPoint's ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; and (xiv) unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, acts of terrorism or outbreak of war or hostilities, as well as SailPoint's response to any of the aforementioned factors. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the proposed transaction, are more fully discussed in the Proxy Statement to be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction. While the list of factors presented here is, and the list of factors presented in the Proxy Statement will be, considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on SailPoint's financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. SailPoint does not assume any obligation to publicly provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws.
