Sourcers –

 

We’ve just announced that ServiceSource will soon become part of Concentrix, a leading global provider of customer experience (CX) solutions and technology. I wanted to personally share this exciting news with you because I truly believe it is great news for us as a company, and for you as a Sourcer.

 

This acquisition reflects the hard work we’ve all done to strengthen our operating model, our go-to-market offerings, and the way we lead our business. We are ready for the next chapter of our growth, and this agreement paves the way for us to join a much larger company that is aligned with our people- and client-centric model.

 

Concentrix is a provider of Customer Experience (CX) solutions and technology. Together with our expertise in bringing the world's greatest brands closer to their customers, the combined company has the opportunity to meet market demand to create a more holistic customer journey experience, not only in the markets we serve today, but in many others.

 

As a Sourcer, this acquisition can open new opportunities for career growth as you join a staff of more than 290,000+ people in a company that serves more geographies and vertical markets, with expertise in technology and CX solutions.

 

This is an exciting time in the growth of ServiceSource!

 

Concentrix has made it clear that they value the talent and experience of our people and the deep expertise that we bring, and they are looking forward to combining our two teams. Now that we’ve made our announcement, both companies will be working to gain stockholder approval and clearing through all of the customary legal and regulatory reviews to close the acquisition.

 

Until that happens, there is no immediate change to your role or responsibilities at ServiceSource. We will continue to operate as usual as two separate companies until the acquisition is closed. It’s important to keep serving our clients and caring for each other to the highest standards as you do today.

 

I know you will have many questions about today’s news, so please watch for an invitation to join me and your leadership team for a special SourceTalk where we will hear from Concentrix’ President & CEO, Chris Caldwell.

 

I look forward to seeing you on SourceTalk,

 

/s/ Gary B. Moore

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than historical facts, that address activities that ServiceSource International, Inc. (“SREV”) assumes, plans, expects, believes, intends or anticipates (and other similar expressions) will, should or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are based on management’s current beliefs, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events, including this proposed transaction. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause the results to differ materially from those expected by the management of SREV. These include the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the proposed transaction, including the timing, receipt and terms and conditions of any required governmental and regulatory approvals of the proposed transaction that could reduce anticipated benefits or cause the parties to abandon the proposed transaction, the ability to successfully integrate the businesses, the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement, the possibility that stockholders of SREV may not approve the merger, the risk that the parties may not be able to satisfy the conditions to the proposed transaction in a timely manner or at all, risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed transaction, the risk that any announcements relating to the proposed transaction could have adverse effects on the market price of SREV’s securities, the risk of any unexpected costs or expenses resulting from the proposed transaction, the risk of any litigation relating to the proposed transaction, the risk that the proposed transaction and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the ability of SREV to retain customers and retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with their suppliers and customers and on its operating results and businesses generally, or the risk the pending proposed transaction could distract management of SREV and it will incur substantial costs. All such factors are difficult to predict and are beyond SREV’s control, including those detailed in SREV’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K that are available on its website at http://www.servicesource.com and on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

 

All forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that SREV believes to be reasonable but that may not prove to be accurate. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and SREV undertakes no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.
