Delft, the Netherlands and Toronto, Canada - November 9, 2007 – Exact Software has successfully completed the strategic acquisition of leading CPM Software provider Longview Solutions to enrich Exact’s solution portfolio beyond traditional ERP.

On September 17, 2007 Exact Software, one of the world’s leading providers of business software and Longview Solutions, a leading provider of corporate performance management (CPM) software, jointly announced the signing of an agreement for Exact to acquire Longview.

This strategic acquisition strengthens Exact’s business empowerment solution portfolio by adding Longview’s powerful CPM platform and accelerates Exact’s expansion into the higher end of the mid-market. In turn, Longview benefits from Exact’s financial strength and geographic footprint as it continues to deliver best-in-class CPM software and services to the enterprise market and further expands into the mid-market.

Reiteration of Guidance for 2007

For 2007 Exact has given a guidance of organic license revenue growth of 6-8% and an EBIT margin of at least 20% excluding acquisitions. Subject to finding the right acquisition targets Exact has given a guidance of annualized revenue of € 300 million by the end of 2007 and at least 20% EBIT margin. These acquisitions will be in line with its defined M&A strategy and will be funded by using current cash availability and if necessary, leverage on the balance sheet. Acquisitions may initially have a limited negative impact on the EBIT margin due to the required amortization of acquired customer bases under IFRS.
