E-mail to Imprivata Employees
All:
Last night, our Board of Directors authorized the
purchase of all outstanding shares of Imprivata stock by private equity firm Thoma Bravo in which Imprivata stockholders will receive $19.25 in cash for each share of Imprivata common stock. This represents a significant 39% premium over our 30 day
trailing average stock price.
Thoma Bravo is a leading private equity firm that focuses on creating value by partnering with management at successful
technology companies to drive rapid, sustained growth. They see Imprivata as an attractive investment opportunity as the market leader in an expanding industry, with a best-in-class portfolio of products and a talented team. Members of the
Thoma Bravo team will be in Lexington later this week, and we will arrange for an all-hands call so you can meet them in person and virtually.
I am proud
of what we have built together at Imprivata and this transaction marks another significant milestone. Transitioning back to a private company represents an exciting opportunity for us to better execute our vision over the next few
years. As a multi-product company, becoming private will allow for much more flexibility to package, bundle and deliver our solutions without being hindered by public company rules. I am looking forward to working with Thoma Bravo in
building a sustainable, high growth company that continues to transform the healthcare industry.
We anticipate that a stockholder vote on the merger will
take place in late Q3 of this year. In addition, the transaction still must clear the regulatory hurdles associated with the sale of a publicly traded company. Upon closing, all unvested and unexercised stock options will accelerate in full in
connection with the transaction and all employees will receive the cash value of all outstanding and unexercised options when the transaction closes, less applicable withholding taxes.
Over the coming weeks and months, I ask all of you to remain focused on achieving our 2016 operating plan and goals. Everything is business as usual.
We will be reviewing these developments at a company meeting today at 12pm EDT. An invitation will be sent to you later this morning.

It is important to note that Thoma Bravo is a financial buyer, not a strategic (acquiring company in our industry) buyer and therefore the focus will be on working with our team to continue to build and grow a great
company as opposed to focused on identifying significant areas of redundancy leading to layoffs that may be typical in a strategic acquisition.
