    Subject: A Strategic Update on Our Next Growth Stage

    To: All PROS employees

    From: Jeff Cotten

    PROS Team,

    Following last week’s announcement that we have agreed to be acquired by Thoma Bravo, a leading software investment firm, I am writing to share an important strategic update about the next steps in our growth journey following the closing of our transaction.

    Earlier this morning, we announced that post-closing, Thoma Bravo intends to run PROS’ travel business as a standalone business and combine PROS’ B2B business with Thoma Bravo’s existing portfolio company Conga, which is a leader for AI-powered innovation in configure, price, quote (CPQ), contract lifecycle management (CLM) and document automation. You can read the press release here.

    This is a fantastic outcome that we believe truly sets our businesses and our employees up for long-term growth and success.

    With PROS’ travel business as a standalone entity, it will be able to focus on its core strengths, seize unique market opportunities and grow with dedicated resources and expertise. We will be more agile, responsive and focused on customers’ needs while accelerating innovation and delivering even better solutions, helping our customers grow revenue in the highly competitive airline and travel industry.

    Combining PROS B2B and Conga will unlock a broader, more powerful product portfolio that expands on the offerings we can deliver to customers and drives greater value across every stage of their commercial operations. With Conga we will create the first integrated solution for configuring complex products, accelerating quoting and streamlining contracts – empowering our customers with AI-driven insights and control across their entire revenue process.

    Following the completion of our transaction with Thoma Bravo, which we anticipate will occur in Q4 2025, the sale of the B2B business to Conga is expected to be finalized in Q1 2026. Until then, we remain separate companies and will continue to operate independently.

    I understand that you will have questions about what this means and we are committed to communicating transparently. During today’s Town Hall at 8am CT, I’ll be joined by Thoma Bravo Executives and Dave Osborne, CEO of Conga, to share more about the strategic plan.

    As with the transaction announcement, it’s possible that this news will generate increased interest in our company. As a reminder, if you are contacted by a member of the media, please do not respond. Forward all media inquiries to Amy Williams at [email protected] and inquiries from investors or analysts to Belinda Overdeput at [email protected].

    We are deeply grateful for your dedication and the passion you bring to PROS and our customers. This next stage of our growth would not have been possible without your hard work and belief in our mission.

    Thank you again,

    Jeff

    This communication, and the documents to which PROS refers you in this communication, contains not only historical information, but also forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements represent PROS’ expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including the timing of the proposed transaction and other information relating to the proposed transaction. Forward-looking statements


    include information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of PROS, the expected completion and timing of the proposed transaction and other information relating to the proposed transaction. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends,” “forecasts,” “should,” “estimates,” “contemplate,” “future,” “goal,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “projection,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “assuming” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. Where, in any forward-looking statement, PROS expresses an expectation or belief as to future results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to be reasonable at the time such forward-looking statement is made. However, these statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and other factors beyond PROS’ control. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in the forward-looking statements. The following important factors and uncertainties, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements: (i) the risk that the transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect PROS’ business and the price of the common stock of PROS, (ii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the transaction, including the adoption of the merger agreement by the stockholders of PROS and the receipt of regulatory approvals from various governmental entities (including any conditions, limitations or restrictions placed on these approvals) and the risk that one or more governmental entities may deny approval, (iii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement, (iv) the risk that the merger agreement may be terminated in circumstances that require PROS to pay a termination fee, (v) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on PROS’ business relationships, operating results and business generally, (vi) risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations, (vii) risks related to diverting management’s attention from PROS’ ongoing business operations, (viii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against PROS related to the merger agreement or the transaction, (ix) PROS’ ability to retain, hire and integrate skilled personnel including PROS’ senior management team and maintain relationships with key business partners and customers, and others with whom it does business, in light of the proposed transaction, (x) unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the proposed transaction, (xi) the impact of adverse general and industry-specific economic and market conditions, (xii) risks caused by delays in upturns or downturns being reflected in PROS’ financial position and results of operations, (xiii) risks that the benefits of the merger are not realized when and as expected, (xiv) uncertainty as to timing of completion of the proposed merger, and (xv) other factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in PROS’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, PROS’ subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and in other reports and filings with the SEC.

PROS cautions you that the important factors referenced above may not contain all of the factors that are important to you.

The forward-looking statements included in this communication are made only as of the date hereof. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, PROS does not undertake to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

    PROS Business Partner Email – B2B

     

    Subject: A Strategic Update on Our Next Growth Stage

    To: Primary B2B Partner Contacts

    From: Dan Sincavage

    CC: Chris Knepper

    Hi [insert name],

    As a follow-up to our announcement last week that we have reached an agreement to be acquired by Thoma Bravo, a leading software investment firm, I wanted to share an exciting update about the plans for the company following the close of the transaction.

    Earlier this morning, we announced that, post-closing, Thoma Bravo intends to run the travel business of PROS as a standalone business. PROS’ B2B business is intended to be combined with Thoma Bravo’s existing portfolio company Conga, a leader for AI-powered innovation in configure, price, quote (CPQ), contract lifecycle management (CLM) and document automation, bringing to Conga PROS’ market-leading capabilities across price optimization, price management, CPQ, and rebate management. You can read the announcement from PROS and Thoma Bravo here and the announcement from Conga here.

    This strategic plan will enable PROS to better serve customers through deep domain expertise and accelerate growth with focused innovation across both the B2B and travel sectors.

    What This Means

    Combining PROS B2B and Conga will unlock a broader, more powerful product portfolio that expands on the offerings we can deliver to customers and drives greater value across every stage of the revenue lifecycle.

    This strategic combination would be an industry-first fully integrated solution for configuring complex products, optimizing pricing, and accelerating contracting to post-quote processes – empowering businesses with AI-driven insights within and across all key commercial processes. It’s about enhancement, not replacement. We intend to maintain both the PROS and Conga platforms that customers know and trust and will be investing to make each solution more powerful by integrating complementary capabilities from both organizations.

    Why It Matters

    B2B commerce is often hindered by siloed systems and fragmented processes across pricing, quoting, and contracting. This planned combination would directly address those pain points by unifying critical revenue functions into a single, AI-powered platform, enabling faster, more intelligent commercial execution leading to better customer experiences, revenue uplift, and improved margins.

    What The Market Can Expect

     

      •  

    Near-term: Following the closing, customers from both PROS and Conga will be able to benefit from complementary product capabilities such as PROS customers benefitting from Conga’s leading CLM and document automation, and Conga customers benefiting from PROS price optimization and rebate management.

     

      •  

    Medium-term: Customers from both PROS and Conga can expect ongoing innovation and enhancements from the products they have come to know and love. Selecting, implementing, and adopting a complete set of commercial and revenue optimizing capabilities from the combined organization will feel seamless.


    Timeline

    Following the completion of our transaction with Thoma Bravo, which we anticipate will occur in Q4 2025, the sale of the B2B business to Conga is expected to be finalized in Q1 2026. Until then, we remain separate companies and will continue to operate independently.

    Our partnership with you is vital to our success. We’re excited about the opportunities this strategic combination unlocks and remain committed to keeping you informed as we move through the next phases. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or if you’d like to discuss this further.

    Best,

    Dan

    As a standalone private company, PROS’ travel business will be more agile, responsive and focused on your needs. We will also benefit from Thoma Bravo’s deep software expertise, which we expect will allow us to accelerate innovation and deliver even better solutions, helping you grow revenue in the highly competitive airline and travel industry.

    Importantly, we are committed to ensuring that you continue to receive exceptional service without disruption. As Conga and PROS combine, we are jointly committed to strengthening and expanding the capabilities of both our existing solution sets. Our focus is on enhancement, not replacement. We intend to maintain both the PROS and Conga platforms that customers know and trust, and will be investing to make each solution more powerful by integrating complementary capabilities from both organizations.

    As a reminder, we expect to complete our transaction with Thoma Bravo in Q4 2025, and we remain a standalone public company until then. Looking ahead, the sale of our B2B business to Conga is expected to be finalized in Q1 2026, and we will continue to keep you informed as we move forward.

    I am truly excited about PROS joining the Thoma Bravo portfolio and about the company’s future. With Thoma Bravo’s support, we are well-positioned to accelerate innovation and unlock new growth opportunities as we continue to lead the industry.

    Please reach out to your CSM or Executive Sponsor if you have any questions regarding this announcement.

    Subject: A Strategic Update on Our Next Growth Stage

    To: Industry Analyst

    From: John Bruno

    Hi [first name],

    As a follow-up to our announcement last week that we have reached an agreement to be acquired by Thoma Bravo, a leading software investment firm, I wanted to share an exciting update about the plans for the company following the close of the transaction.

    Earlier this morning, we announced that, post-closing, Thoma Bravo intends to combine their existing portfolio company Conga, a leader for AI-powered innovation in configure, price, quote (CPQ), contract lifecycle management (CLM) and document automation, with the B2B business of PROS, a leader in AI-powered price optimization and management, CPQ and rebate management. You can read the announcement from Thoma Bravo here and from Conga here.

    What This Means

    Combining PROS B2B and Conga will unlock a broader, more powerful product portfolio that expands on the offerings we can deliver to customers and drives greater value across every stage of the revenue lifecycle.

    This strategic combination would be an industry-first fully integrated solution for configuring complex products, optimizing pricing, and accelerating contracting to post-quote processes – empowering businesses with AI-driven insights within and across all key commercial processes. It’s about enhancement, not replacement.

    Why It Matters

    B2B commerce is often hindered by siloed systems and fragmented processes across pricing, quoting, and contracting. This planned combination would directly address those pain points by unifying critical revenue functions into a single, AI-powered platform, enabling faster, more intelligent commercial execution leading to better customer experiences, revenue uplift, and improved margins.

    What The Market Can Expect

     

      •  

    Near-term: Following the closing, customers from both PROS and Conga will be able to benefit from complementary product capabilities such as PROS customers benefiting from Conga’s leading CLM and document automation, and Conga customers benefiting from PROS price optimization and rebate management.

     

      •  

    Medium-term: Customers from both PROS and Conga can expect ongoing innovation and enhancements from the products they have come to know and love. Selecting, implementing, and adopting a complete set of commercial and revenue optimizing capabilities from the combined organization will feel seamless.

    Timeline

    Following the completion of our transaction with Thoma Bravo, which we anticipate will occur in Q4 2025, the sale of the B2B business to Conga is expected to be finalized in Q1 2026. Until then, we remain separate companies and will continue to operate independently.


    We’re excited about the opportunities this strategic combination unlocks and remain committed to keeping you informed as we move through the next phases. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or if you’d like to discuss this further.

    Best,

    John

    As a follow-up to our announcement last week that we have agreed to be acquired by Thoma Bravo, this morning we announced plans for PROS following the close of our transaction.

    Thoma Bravo intends to run PROS travel as a standalone business and combine PROS B2B business with Thoma Bravo’s existing portfolio company, Conga, which is a provider of configure, price, quote (CPQ), contract lifecycle management (CLM) and document automation solutions.

    This is a fantastic outcome that will position both businesses and teams for long-term growth and success.

    Your Role and Guidelines

    As senior leaders at PROS, you will play an integral role in communicating with employees and other stakeholders about this announcement. To assist you in these discussions, we are providing you with the following materials:

     

      •  

    A copy of the press release announcing the strategic plans;

     

      •  

    A copy of the all-employee email;

     

      •  

    Employee FAQ with key questions that we expect employees may have; and

     

      •  

    Talking points to help you explain this news to your teams (below). These are for your verbal use only.

    Communications Guidelines

    As you familiarize yourself with these communications materials, it is important to keep in mind:

     

      •  

    Adhere to approved materials. These materials have been approved by legal counsel, and some will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It is important that you do not add to or alter these materials or any other communications you may receive regarding the transaction. It is equally important that you do not create any new materials, as doing so may mean we need to file them with the SEC.

     

      •  

    Emphasize that this is good news for PROS and our teams. As a standalone private company, PROS travel will be able to focus on its core strengths, seize unique market opportunities and grow with dedicated resources and expertise. For our B2B business, combining with Conga will unlock a broader, more powerful solution portfolio that expands on the offerings we can deliver to customers and drives greater value across every stage of their commercial operations.


      •  

    Be sensitive to employees’ needs and listen to their concerns. As a leader, your team will look to you for information, guidance and reassurance. How you talk about the transaction will influence how employees and other stakeholders respond. Stay confident, positive and forward-looking and encourage your team to do the same.

     

      •  

    It is business as usual. Until the transaction with Thoma Bravo closes, which we expect to occur in the fourth quarter of 2025, PROS remains an independent public company, and it is business as usual. There are no changes to how we support our customers or work with our business partners. Accordingly, please encourage your teams to remain focused on our business objectives and continue to do what we do best. Looking ahead, the sale of our B2B business to Conga is expected to be finalized in Q1 2026, and we will continue to keep you informed as we move forward.

     

      •  

    It is important we direct requests for information to appropriate channels. This news may generate increased interest in our company. In line with our usual policy, please direct any inquiries you receive from the media to Amy Williams at [email protected], and any inquiries from investors to Belinda Overdeput at [email protected].

    Responding to Employee Questions

    Please reiterate to your teams that they can contact you if they have additional questions. As a reminder, there will likely be questions that we cannot yet answer. Please do not speculate; instead, use the following response:

    “That’s a great question. It is early in the process, and I do not have all the answers today. We want to answer your questions as quickly and completely as possible. Let me get back you when I have the necessary information.”

    Please escalate any questions you do not know how to answer to Jenn Carmouche at [email protected] so that we can track themes and keep FAQs updated.
