share warrants (the “Warrants”) would be issued, which have the following main characteristics, it being<br />

specified, however, that the technical terms of this plan may be subject to post-Offer adjustments to optimize<br />

said terms. The awardees will not be entitled to any guaranteed exit price or price supplement:<br />

- the Warrants will become exercisable successively as follows: (a) 50% over a period of 4 years<br />

following their issuance and (b) 50% if annual performance targets are achieved over a period of 4<br />

years;<br />

- the Warrants exercise period may be accelerated in the event of a change in control event of Project<br />

Metro Holding SCA;<br />

- these Warrants will entitle their holders to subscribe at par limited partners’ shares of Project Metro<br />

Holding SCA, depending on their country of tax residence, which shares will be subject to a lock-up<br />

period expiring in 2022 under the Shareholders Agreement;<br />

- the Warrant holders will forfeit their rights, under certain circumstances and in certain proportions, if<br />

they leave the group before the agreed upon exercise period (standard “cessation of service”<br />

provisions);<br />

- no liquidity is guaranteed to the awardees after they exercise their Warrants.<br />

The Warrants will represent no more than 10% of the equity investment of the current shareholders of<br />

Project Metro Holding SCA in that company and will be awarded to the officers and employees of the<br />

Company.<br />

Amendments to the Managers’ employment contracts<br />

In accordance with the provisions of the Investment Agreement, Mr. Philippe Ozanian’s employment<br />

agreement governed by French Law dated September 7, 2000, pursuant to which he served as Vice<br />

Executive President in charge of global operations, was terminated. On December 20, 2011, a new<br />

agreement governed by U.S. Law was entered into with Project Metro Inc., a sister company of Project Metro<br />

Holding SCA. Under this new agreement, Mr. Philippe Ozanian now serves as Chairman of the board and<br />

CEO of Project Metro Inc. and holds management positions within the group. His fixed annual compensation<br />

was increased only to compensate the loss of benefits he previously had under French social security laws.<br />

The other provisions of his current employment agreement remain unchanged, subject to certain<br />

adjustments required under U.S. law, to which the agreement is now subject.<br />

Furthermore, the Investment Agreement provides that the employment agreements of the other Managers<br />

(namely, Messrs. Vikas Trehan, Marc Benrey, David Forlizzi and Manuel Stopnicki) will have to be amended,<br />

though not substantially, by a written agreement.<br />

Other provisions of the Investment Agreement<br />

The Investment Agreement also contains a list (identical to that contained in the Shareholders’ Agreement)<br />

of the decisions that, during the interim period until the signature of the Shareholders’ Agreement (that is,<br />

until the Initial Closing Date), will require the prior approval of a representative of Thoma Bravo on the board<br />

of directors of <strong>InfoVista</strong>.<br />

Furthermore, as collateral for the commitments to transfer the Transferred BSAAR and the commitments to<br />

contribute the Contributed BSAAR, Messrs. Manuel Stopnicki, David Forlizzi and Vikas Trehan entered into,<br />

on December 20, 2011, statements of pledge of securities accounts] for the benefit of the Offeror, in respect<br />

of the following BSAAR:<br />

The proposed offer and this draft reply document are subject to review by the AMF<br />
