To the Board of Directors Ipswitch, Inc. and Subsidiaries Burlington, Massachusetts INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Ipswitch, Inc. and Subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors' Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Ipswitch, Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued) 7. Equity Compensation Plan: On September 20, 2018, the Board of Directors adopted the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (Plan). Under the terms of the Plan, incentive stock options (ISOs) may be granted to employees of the Company and nonqualified stock options or restricted awards may be granted to directors, consultants, employee, and officers of the Company. The exercise price of ISOs cannot be less than the fair value of the Company's Class B common stock on the grant date, or less than 110% of the fair value in the case of employees holding 10% or more of the voting stock of all classes of stock of the Company. The options vest over a period determined by the Board of Directors, generally four years, and expire not more than ten years from the date of grant. As of December 31, 2018, the Company's authorized common stock includes 7,000,000 shares of class B common stock reserved for issuance of options and restricted stock under the Plan, of which 563,125 are available for future grants. Class B stock option activity under the Plan during the year ended December 31, 2018 was as follows: Weighted Weighted Average Average Remaining Number Exercise Price Contractual of Options (Per Share) Life (Years) Outstanding at December 31, 2017 - $ - Granted 6,436,875 4.93 Outstanding at December 31, 2018 6,436,875 $ 4.93 9.79 Vested and Expected to Vest at December 31, 2018 5,924,743 $ 4.93 9.79 Exercisable at December 31, 2018 1,315,554 $ 4.93 9.79 The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2018 amounted to $1.78. No options were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2018, stock-based compensation expense amounted to $2,105,582, which is included in the consolidated statement of income, and is based on awards ultimately expected to vest. As of December 31, 2018, there is approximately $8,197,0000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.14 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the year ended December 31, 2018 amounted to $6,485,681. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value option grants on the date of grant and to determine the related compensation expense. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards represent management's best estimations. The Company bases its expected volatility on the volatilities of certain publicly-traded peer companies. Management believes that the historical volatility of the Company's stock price does not best represent the expected volatility of the stock price. The Company is a privately-held company and therefore lacks company-specific historical and implied volatility information. 14
