Nimbus Partners Limited

On August 30, 2011, subsequent to TIBCO's third fiscal quarter, International Holdings B.V., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of TIBCO, acquired Nimbus Partners Limited ("Nimbus"), a private company organized under the laws of England and Wales and a provider of business process discovery and analysis applications that help companies drive adoption of business process initiatives. We paid $42.0 million of cash to acquire the outstanding equity of Nimbus. We have also incurred transaction costs associated with the acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, TIBCO also assumed facility leases, certain liabilities and commitments of Nimbus. Management is currently evaluating the purchase price allocation following consummation of the transaction.
