Key topics from recent shareholder engagement

Consideration offered

  • Zendesk entered into the transaction at a point in time where the exchange ratio favored Zendesk by 20% vs. the three-year average exchange ratio
  • As of February 4th, the implied value of our offer was approximately $22 (~20% less than Momentive's closest competing cash bid of $27.25 in October)

Quality of the Momentive business

  • Zendesk has developed a deep understanding of Momentive's business, product, and revenue quality through our due diligence process
  • Momentive is in the midst of executing a strategy to transition from a self-serveto sales-ledmodel - customers generate significantly more lifetime value once they become sales-assisted. Zendesk's greater go-to-market resources and proven enterprise product playbook can accelerate Momentive's transformation.
    • We deeply understand and recognize the Momentive funnel from demand to close and the areas where our resources and experience can improve it
    • See Appendix for more detail
  • Momentive's product can disrupt competitors as it moves upmarket. Across surveys, voice of customer / voice of employee, and market research, Momentive is highly competitive with Qualtrics and others when time-to-value and total cost of ownership are important buying criteria

Scale and timing of synergies

  • Projected synergies account for 6% of combined pro forma revenue in 2025. Our Board viewed this as highly achievable given the significant opportunities to enhance and expand Momentive's go-to-market motions and our track record of consistently meeting and / or exceeding our revenue targets
  • Comparable SaaS acquisitions imply substantial upside in both the magnitude and timing of synergies:
    • SendGrid achieved estimated revenue uplift of 40%+ vs. its LTM standalone revenue growth rate in year 2 after its acquisition by Twilio in 2020
    • Qualtrics achieved estimated revenue uplift of 20%+ vs. its LTM standalone revenue growth rate in year 1 after its acquisition by SAP in 2019
  • The forecasted revenue synergy contribution to operating income drives pro forma margin expansion of 270bps vs. Zendesk standalone (15.2% vs. 12.5% in 2025, respectively)

Key topics from recent shareholder engagement

Competitive implications Zendesk's proposed acquisition of Momentive does not in any way lessen Zendesk's commitment to open API standards

    • Zendesk, Momentive, and most of our SaaS peers typically build to open API standards, empowering our customers to connect with software products of their choosing
    • Thousands of our customers use Zendesk-built integrations to connect Zendesk with products owned by our largest competitors
    • Zendesk customers send over 2M customer satisfaction surveys per day via Zendesk's limited functionality - while other customers have chosen to integrate Zendesk with more advanced third-party feedback platforms (of which Momentive is an important partner)
  • We will continue to support Momentive's relationships and product integrations with other software providers as part of our commitment to customer choice

Customer overlap

  • Zendesk and Momentive do not offer competing products - incremental cross sale will drive increased revenue
  • Our acquisition of Momentive is not expected to cannibalize business or cause material dis-synergies
  • Zendesk and Momentive share 10,000+ customers, indicating a natural market fit for our solutions; however, this overlap is actually only a minority of our customer bases, and thus represents a significant cross-sellopportunity

Partner vs. buy

  • Zendesk already partners with several experience management providers via our marketplace and open API platform. Our Customer Intelligence product strategy extends far beyond what is possible via arms-length integration, and the financial upside of ownership vs. partnership is compelling
  • Unifying customer interaction and sentiment data is becoming a strategic imperative for businesses, and ownership of both systems significantly enhances both our ability to innovate and the economics of that innovation

Key topics from recent shareholder engagement

Integration risk

  • We acknowledge that integration risk is inherent in any transaction, including the proposed Momentive transaction. As such, we have been devoting significant time and resources to integration planning as to mitigate this risk
  • Zendesk has never missed its quarterly revenue guidance. We achieved the 2020 revenue target we set in 2016, and we have consistently outperformed long-term analyst consensus
  • Our track record of execution and outperformance as well as our detailed integration planning should demonstrate that we are prepared for this next step in our growth and can appropriately manage integration risks
  • Our conservative synergy projections reflect our realistic perception of the substantial integration efforts required

Team stability

  • We attract exceptional talent across Zendesk, including in our finance organization and on our management team
  • Zendesk's CFO Shelagh Glaser is a 30-year finance executive who has brought to Zendesk a proven history of driving scale, growth and profitability
  • Professional experience at high-growth market leaders like Zendesk is highly coveted, especially in the current talent market. We are immensely proud that we have helped build and launch incredible careers across the technology industry because of our focus on people development
  • We are confident in our ability to continue to attract and retain the talent Zendesk needs to continue to realize its strategic objectives and financial goals

Board process

  • The Board regularly reviews the company's strategy and plan for potential acquisition candidates
  • The definitive proxy details a Board-led contemplation of our strategy and competitive landscape, leading to the participation in the acquisition process for Momentive
  • When the opportunity arose to bid for Momentive, Zendesk's Board was disciplined and presented Momentive with a transaction that was structured to both win a competitive auction and to protect Zendesk shareholder value
  • Our independent directors have deep leadership experience across industries and companies - and together the board undertook this strategic process with the utmost care
