The Project Metro SCA certificates presented to Marc Benrey in exchange for BSAAR warrants consist of<br />

Category 2 shares with a preferred dividend designed to replicate the PECS remuneration.<br />

On the date of completion of contributions and sales of BSAAR warrants, a shareholders’ agreement relative<br />

to Project Metro SCA will be signed by Project Metro S.à r.l, Thoma Bravo, Philippe Ozanian, Manuel<br />

Stopnicki, Vikas Trehan, David Forlizzi and Marc Benrey, fixing the rights and responsibilities of each of the<br />

parties, as well as general terms and conditions for the sale of the Project Metro SCA shares. In particular,<br />

under the terms of this agreement, each manager will agree not to sell any shares or PECS during a period<br />

of 10 years, starting on the date when the agreement is signed (lock-up clause) 3 .<br />

No preferential liquidity conditions have been granted to the Project Metro SCA certificates issued in<br />

exchange for the contribution by the managers of part of their <strong>InfoVista</strong> shares (apart from the traditional<br />

“tag-along” and “drag-along” clauses). Moreover, the agreements do not specify a predetermined exit price.<br />

Furthermore, the length of the lock-up period which the managers must observe reinforces the strategic<br />

nature of the reinvestment in Project Metro SCA.<br />

The Investment Agreement also provides for the signature of an agreement authorizing issuance of incentive<br />

instruments to managers in the form of share subscription options. The conditions for granting these<br />

incentive instruments in favor of managers are shown in the draft term sheet appended to the Investment<br />

Agreement. They appear usual in this case and do not require any particular comments.<br />

Against this backdrop, it is our opinion that the reinvestment conditions provided for Philippe Ozanian,<br />

Manuel Stopnicki, David Forlizzi, Marc Benrey and Vikas Trehan are not of a type to cast doubt on the<br />

fairness of the conditions of the Offer.<br />

4. 22 Discounted future cash flow method<br />

This method consists of determining the intrinsic value of a business by discounting the future financial flows<br />

that will result from its business plan at an interest rate that reflects the market’s profitability requirement for<br />

such a business, taking into account the exit value at the endpoint of the plan’s time horizon.<br />

4.221 Assumptions used for the business plan<br />

We have carried out our work on the basis of the discounted 2011/2012 budget and the Company’s business<br />

plan as transmitted to us by management.<br />

Forecast data cover a three-year period (2012 – 2014). The main economic assumptions used are:<br />

- 3.9% average annual revenue growth, based on 2010/2011 revenues of €45.9 million;<br />

3 During the 10-year lock-up period, only the following transactions are authorized:<br />

(i) sale of shares between the parties and their spouses or children or their affiliated companies, (ii) exercise of a right or a<br />

responsibility for joint exit - exercise of a promise to sell in favor of the majority shareholder in case of the departure of a minority<br />

shareholder prior to a “liquidity event.”<br />

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