To: Dave Aitel Subject: McAfee to Acquire Foundstone We're pleased and excited to inform you today, McAfee - the leading provider of intrusion prevention and antivirus solutions - announced its intention to acquire Foundstone. At the time of closing, Foundstone will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of McAfee. On behalf of Foundstone employees, we're delighted to be part of McAfee's "best-of-breed" family of security products and services. This acquisition will recognize significant synergies in vision, technologies, customer base, and target markets. Together, the combined entity will offer a more comprehensive suite of risk management solutions, greater professional services capabilities, increased levels of sales and technical support, and greater research and development investment to best meet the growing and dynamic risk management market. Foundstone has a long history of driving technology innovation in our products and this merger will not affect this trend. In fact, combining our award-winning technology with McAfee's strong intrusion prevention products will provide a complete and unified vision relative to Security Risk Management. Our goal is to ensure McAfee's acquisition of Foundstone is as transparent and seamless as possible. While integration plans are not yet finalized, we want to reinforce and assure our customers, partners, international distributors, and resellers that McAfee remains committed to Foundstone's products, professional service and educational offerings, customer and partner support capabilities, and continued desire to innovate. It is our understanding that Foundstone will remain a subsidiary and will continue to sell and support the products and services as we have in the past and our primary goal - to exceed customer expectations and deliver the best products and services available today - will not change. Foundstone sales and support will continue to serve you, and key Foundstone executives will remain on board to lead the ongoing growth of our productsand services.
