Subject: Exciting News for Model N
Model N Team,
I wanted to personally share some important news. This morning, we issued a press release [insert link] announcing that Model N has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Vista Equity Partners (“Vista”), in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $1.25 billion based on a price of $30.00 per share. This is an exciting next step in Model N’s journey, as we position our company to capture future market opportunities and accelerate our global impact.
Before I get into what the future will look like for Model N, I first want to take a moment to recognize all we’ve achieved leading up until this point. Since joining Model N, I’ve come to deeply appreciate this team, and it’s clear that our Model N employees are the key to our success. Every Model N’er brings unwavering passion, commitment, and professionalism. As Model N’ers, we show up for one another, we show up for our customers, and there’s never a challenge we can’t overcome together. I want to express my deep gratitude to each of you, and I know that we will bring this incredible commitment into our company’s next chapter.
With that, I’d like to tell you more about the exciting opportunity ahead. Vista is a leading global investment firm that works closely with mission-critical businesses that have clear purpose and a demonstrated track record of success – just like ours. This partnership with Vista is about building on the significant progress we have made as a company. As a private company, we will have additional resources, the ability to take a longer-term view on our business, and be in a stronger position to deliver on our strategy. I believe that with Vista’s support, Model N will be in a stronger position to deliver on our ambitious goals.
Vista values our incredibly talented team and believes in fostering an inclusive culture that encourages diversity of opinion and a desire to transform. As we move forward, our employee-centric, mission-driven culture and unwavering commitment to meeting our customers’ needs will continue to be core tenets of Model N and the drivers of our success. We are excited to have a partner of Vista’s caliber by our side in this next phase of the company’s journey.
