Subject: SAP AG intends to acquire Business Objects S.A

October 25, 2007

Dear Customer,

I am very pleased to announce that SAP AG intends to acquire Business Objects S.A, a market leader in business intelligence software. Let me take this opportunity to share our long-term plans for this acquisition and highlight some of the benefits you can expect.

SAP’s primary objectives are to expand and improve the overall portfolio and services in our core enterprise application software business as well as our offering for the small and midsize enterprise segment. We recognize the growing need for analysis in your organization to support all parts of your business around the world quickly and efficiently.

With our planned acquisition of Business Objects, we will be able to offer a winning combination of business intelligence solutions, functionality for Corporate Performance Management and Governance Risk and Compliance and embedded analytics. The solutions will address decision support, business processes enriched by analytics applications, on demand reporting, and innovative business user offerings to help turn your organization into a performance driven enterprise.

Product excellence has always been one of the cornerstones of SAP’s company culture and it underpins all our efforts to maintain your confidence in our systems and in our ability to continuously provide innovative offerings. Responding appropriately to market drivers is a requirement for continuing this tradition of excellence. Even as we plan to bring additional value to you through this acquisition, I would like to assure you we remain deeply committed to providing stable long-term IT security and protection for your investment in SAP’s current solution portfolio.

We are still several steps away from closing this transaction. SAP has filed a draft tender offer prospectus in France and will file separate tender offer documents in the United States. SAP is in the process of making the necessary filings with the relevant agencies in relation thereto. We expect the closure of the transaction within Q1 2008.

Additional information regarding specific product, go-to-market and other details will be provided after the transaction has been closed.

Warm regards,

Pascal Rialland
Chief Executive Officer
SAP France S.A. and North Africa
