Building Sustainable, Lasting Value


 The Vista Platform comprises 60+ companies across 175 countries, serving 710,000+ customers. Collectively with its portfolio
companies, Vista is the 4th largest enterprise software company in the world with $14B+* in revenue.
 Having completed over 325 tech transactions since 2012, including 230 add-ons, Vista has been one of the largest and most
2
active acquirers and investors in tech over the last decade and more.
 Its latest flagship fund, closed in early 3Q19, broke all records as the largest PE tech fund ever with $16B in total capital raised.

 Vista invests exclusively in tech, with a particular focus on software, data and tech-enabled services. It has been named the top
PE investor in SaaS by PitchBook since 2011. Earlier this month Vista’s CEO and Founder Robert Smith was named Dealmaker
of the Year by Mergers & Acquisitions magazine.
 Vista pioneered a sector-focused approach to private equity software investing, looking first at the underlying industry vertical
served by its software companies. Its portfolio companies are organized into 12 major economic sectors including media,
entertainment and travel, finance and insurance, retail and transportation, education, etc.
 Vista’s investments have historically ranged between $10M and $1B in size. Other common attributes include:

› Stability. A blue-chip customer base with high renewal rates.


› Diversification. Limited customer concentration.
› Well Positioned. Companies that are current or potential market leaders.
› Growth Potential. Companies with revenue and margin growth opportunities.

 In most cases, Vista is the majority shareholder and sole outside investor; this allows for differentiated, long-term perspective and
reduces potential distractions caused by having multiple financial investors.
 Notable recent deals include:

› Apptio. In January 2019, Vista took Apptio private for $1.8 billion (8.2x TTM revenue). The company provides cloud-based
technology business management SaaS to enterprises.
› MINDBODY. In February 2019, Vista Equity Partners Fund VI and Vista Equity Partners Fund VII completed the take-
private of MINDBODY. Vista paid $1.9 billion (8.1x TTM revenue) for MINDBODY, a global provider of business
management software to the wellness services industry.
› Zapproved. In May 2017, in its first strategic investment since launching, the Vista Endeavor Fund acquired a majority
interest in Zapproved, a pioneer in cloud‐based e-discovery software for corporate legal departments. Vista has a
history of investing in LegalTech companies, and this investment will allow management to scale through the next phase of
growth. AGC Partners served as the exclusive financial advisor to Zapproved in this transaction.

 While Vista’s transactions have been primarily in the United States (73%), Vista also looks for opportunities abroad.

 Of Vista’s 325 investments since 2012, all but 10 have been control transactions for majority ownership.
