Today is a very exciting day for Constant Contact (NASDAQ: CTCT) and for small businesses everywhere. We are thrilled to announce that Endurance International Group (NASDAQ: EIGI) is acquiring Constant Contact.

I joined Constant Contact in 1999. We had just six employees, no customers, and no revenue. All we had was a dream to revolutionize the success formula for millions of small businesses. To provide them access to marketing tools, incredibly easy-to-use technology, and coaching that would help them be successful. We have come a long way since those six employees started dreaming in an attic workspace in Brookline, Massachusetts. We now have more than 1,400 passionate employees helping the millions of small businesses around the world achieve their dreams.

We have known Endurance International Group for years… as a formal partner of ours, as a fellow successful Massachusetts-based company, and as an organization equally passionate about small business success. They own and operate some of the most widely recognizable small businesses brands, including Bluehost, HostGator, iPage, and Domain.com. They have a significant international presence, and they bring together a community of professional designers and developers through MOJO Marketplace. Their mission is to help small businesses navigate the promise, power, and potential of the Web, something that all of us at Constant Contact get really excited about.

Combined, we serve more than 5 million small businesses and nonprofits and have more than a billion dollars in annual revenue. This combination will be transformative for small businesses. Together, we will reach, teach, and engage millions more small businesses and nonprofits around the world. With our products and KnowHow^® and Endurance’s enormous customer base and channels to market, together we are a stronger, more efficient company. While both companies have been on a similar journey for years, today marks the beginning of our combined journey to deliver success to small businesses!

It truly is an exciting time, and I want to thank all of those customers, partners, investors, and employees who put their trust in us and helped us grow to where we are today. Without all of you, this day certainly would not have happened.

Always,

Gail

BURLINGTON, MA & WALTHAM, MA (November 2, 2015) — Endurance International Group Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EIGI), and Constant Contact, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTCT) today announced that the two companies have entered into a definitive agreement under which Endurance International will acquire all of Constant Contact’s outstanding shares of common stock for $32.00 per share in cash, valuing Constant Contact at approximately $1.1 billion. The value represents a multiple of 12x 2015 estimated adjusted EBITDA, including cash on its balance sheet. Including expected synergies, this represents a multiple of 7x 2015 estimated adjusted EBITDA. The offer represents a premium of approximately 23 percent over Constant Contact’s closing price of $26.10 on October 30, 2015.

Benefits of the proposed transaction include:

“We couldn’t be more pleased to welcome Constant Contact to our team and our family of brands. We have long admired Constant Contact and its strong management team, and all that it has accomplished in building a great product set, as well as building an influential culture and team. Their focus on the customer and product development complements our offerings for small business services, and expands our ability to address the needs of SMBs. We know that once small businesses have a web presence, they look for other products and services that will help them to grow their business. We see an opportunity to help our growing subscriber base meet their goals through an integrated suite of solutions, and we are excited to add this talented team to our roster,” said Hari Ravichandran, president and chief executive officer of Endurance.

“Our team has always been passionate about helping small businesses do more business. Joining the Endurance family of brands will allow us to extend our reach and be a better partner to small businesses across the globe. We have long shared a parallel path—from our focus on SMBs, to technology, to talent—and we believe this transaction will build continued value for all constituents,” said Gail Goodman, chief executive officer of Constant Contact.

Adjusted EBITDA, pro forma adjusted revenue and pro forma adjusted EBITDA as used herein are non-GAAP measurements that are presented herein as a supplemental disclosure. As used herein, adjusted EBITDA is defined as GAAP net income before income taxes, interest income and other income, net, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation; pro forma adjusted revenue reflects the arithmetic sum of Endurance’s expected revenue and Constant Contact’s expected revenue for the applicable period, in each case adjusted to exclude the impact of any fair value adjustments to deferred revenue resulting from the acquisition of Constant Contact; and pro forma adjusted EBITDA reflects the arithmetic sum of Endurance’s and Constant Contact’s expected adjusted EBITDA for the applicable period, after conforming both adjusted EBITDA figures to Endurance’s methodology for determining adjusted EBITDA, which is calculated as net income (loss) plus (i) changes in deferred revenue, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, loss of unconsolidated entities, net loss on sale of assets, expenses related to integration of acquisitions and restructurings, transaction expenses and charges, certain legal advisory expenses, interest expense and income tax expense, less (ii) earnings of unconsolidated entities, net gain on sale of assets and the impact of purchase accounting related to reduced fair value of deferred domain registration costs.

These pro forma figures do not represent “pro forma” amounts determined in accordance with the SEC’s rules and regulations, including Article 11 of Regulation S-X, do not reflect any pro forma adjustments resulting from the proposed transaction, and should not be taken to represent how Endurance would have performed on a historical basis had Constant Contact’s operations been included in the period presented, or how Endurance will perform in any future period.

Beginning on November 2, 2015, the Company may provide some or all of the following quotes in response to inquiries from the media.

Hari Ravichandran, CEO, Endurance

General

“We’re thrilled to welcome Constant Contact to the Endurance family. I’m confident that this will be a strong combination of two companies committed to small business success. It’s really a perfect fit – Constant Contact brings a strong team and an industry-leading technology, while Endurance brings a significant reach to the small business market.”

“We couldn’t be more excited about this deal. We’re building off of a successful partnership with a company that has proven itself and its value to small businesses. We look forward to our next steps together.”

“This deal is the epitome of one of Endurance’s core values: ‘We are better together.’ Together, we’ll be an unrivaled small business brand, serving more than 5 million small businesses and with more than a billion dollars in revenue.”

Small Business Value

“We believe this deal is going to be a great thing for small businesses. Together, we’ll be able to offer everything a small business needs to get online and grow online: web hosting, domains, ecommerce, emarketing, and mobile business tools.”

“We know that Constant Contact has a set of tools – including email marketing, event management, social media marketing, contact management, and list building – that are both a perfect complement to our web tools and what small businesses need to grow their business. Together, we’ll be an unrivaled partner to small businesses.”

Integration

“Up until now, we’ve been focused on the diligence phase of this deal. Planning for integration will come in the next phase. What I can say is that we chose Constant Contact not just for its great technology but also for its talented team.”

“Integration is something we’ll consider in the next phase of this deal. We have done many acquisitions at Endurance. We are good at acquiring companies, especially at integrating the teams and retaining top talent.”

Partnership

“We’ve been really pleased with the partnership we’ve had with Constant Contact for the past year or so. We’re confident there is an opportunity to do even more with a formal joining of our two companies.”

“Over the past year, our partnership has shown that together, our offerings make sense for small businesses. We’ve seen strong results, and it’s given us even more confidence that this deal is the right thing for small businesses, for partners, and for employees.”

Boston

“One of the things we love about this deal is that it will bring together two long-standing, successful Massachusetts-based companies to create a public company of significant scale.”

“Boston has one of the strongest tech communities in the country. The joining of two long-standing tech leaders here in Massachusetts will be a great success story for our local community as well as for our customers, our partners, and our employees.”

Gail Goodman, CEO, Constant Contact

General

“As we’ve evolved over the years, one thing that hasn’t changed is our mission to drive success for small businesses. This combination will give us a huge new opportunity to live into that mission. Endurance will expand our reach enormously and give Constant Contact new growth opportunities.”

“I couldn’t be more excited about this opportunity. For Constant Contact, it’s a real win. With Endurance, we’re gaining phenomenal reach to small businesses. They have about 4.5 million subscribers. That’s a giant pipeline for us. And it just makes sense to be part of a broader suite of tools – together we can serve an SMB from inception to growth with web hosting, domains, ecommerce, emarketing, and mobile business tools.”

“This joining of two small business companies is a perfect fit. Our technology plus Endurance’s reach to millions of small businesses will create an unrivaled small business brand. We will both be stronger together.”

Small Business Value

“Our companies are a perfect fit. We are both committed to small business success. Together, we can offer everything a small business needs to market themselves – from web hosting to ecommerce to email marketing and more. This will truly be a win for the small business community as a whole.”

“We’re thrilled about this new opportunity. Together, Endurance and Constant Contact will be able to offer small businesses the full scope of tools they need to get online and grow online. It’s no coincidence that both companies have ‘customers first’ as one of their core values.”

Integration

“Of course there will be changes, but we haven’t gotten to any specifics yet. Endurance chose Constant Contact not just for our award-winning products but also for our fantastic, talented team. I’m confident this will provide employees from both companies with real growth opportunities.”

“I haven’t thought yet about what my next chapter looks like. Right now, I’m focused on making sure this deal is a huge success. That will be my focus for the foreseeable future. Beyond that, we’ll see.”

Boston

“What could be better than two local technology companies finding a perfect fit together? It’s very exciting, not just for us, but for Massachusetts. Massachusetts will have a public company with over $1 billion in revenue headquartered here.”

“Location isn’t the most important factor here, but it’s been a nice secondary benefit of this deal. We’ve had the opportunity to know each other for quite some time – we’ve ‘grown up’ together here in Boston over the last 15 years. After a successful partnership, it was clear that the opportunity to bring these two Boston powerhouses together was strong.”
