HBX Analytics will be rebranded as Omniture SiteCatalyst HBX, and will continue to be supported until the key features have been integrated into Omniture SiteCatalyst.
Customer Integration
The customer services team dedicated to supporting the Visual Sciences customer base has been enhanced to include personnel from both companies who will leverage the infrastructure and programs of the Omniture Global Support Organization. In most cases, the day-to-day account and services contacts for Visual Sciences customers will not change.
A migration program is available for all HBX customers—providing a package of complimentary migration services and technology tailored to the specific needs and requirements of each customer. Omniture has formed an HBX Migration Consulting Services team staffed with experts who have thousands of hours of experience migrating HBX customers to SiteCatalyst.
Beginning on January 22, Omniture will roll out a Customer Welcome Program, which will include a series of customer meetings, informational webinars, training and local user groups designed exclusively for Visual Sciences customers. At the global 2008 Omniture Summits, HBX migration tracks will be offered in addition to other educational breakout sessions about Omniture products and best practices. The Omniture Summits provide an opportunity for Visual Sciences customers to connect with the Omniture community and will host the first meeting of a Visual Sciences Customer Advisory Council to solicit feedback that will shape Omniture’s product roadmap and development plans. For additional details on these programs visit www.omniture.com/visualsciences/welcome.
Employee Integration
Several Visual Sciences executives will assume senior management positions at Omniture. Aaron Bird will join Omniture as general manager of the Discover OnPremise product line, Ray Rauch will head up the HBX Migration Services team and Brian Sullivan will operate as general manager of Omniture Site Search & Publish. Visual Sciences’ chief executive officer Jim MacIntyre will continue to work with Omniture through a transition period assisting with integration and product roadmap and will then pursue other interests.
Visual Sciences’ employees will continue to be located in their San Diego, California and Herndon, Virgina offices. All Omniture employees located in the San Francisco Bay Area—including the Visual Sciences and Offermatica teams—will be brought together in Omniture’s San Francisco office.
Financial Information
As a result of the acquisition, Visual Sciences common stock will no longer be traded on NASDAQ, and each outstanding share of Visual Sciences capital stock (other than dissenting shares, if any) has been converted into the right to receive 0.49 of a share of Omniture common stock and $2.39 in cash. Omniture also assumed outstanding options under Visual Sciences’ equity incentive plans. Omniture has also assumed the shares reserved under the Visual Sciences 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, as adjusted to reflect the transaction, to be used for future equity award grants.
The Visual Sciences acquisition, excluding transaction costs, is expected to be accretive to earnings immediately on a non-GAAP basis. Additional information regarding acquisition-related expenses and Omniture’s fiscal year 2008 combined financial targets will be provided during the company’s fourth quarter fiscal 2007 results conference call scheduled for Thursday, February 7, 2008, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
