BMC CORRECTS THE RECORD

HOUSTON, June 14, 2012 – BMC Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: BMC), the leading global enterprise IT management company, in response to a press release issued today by Elliott Associates, L.P. and Elliott International, L.P. (collectively, “Elliott”), issued the complete, unedited and relevant portion of the recent interview between Robert E. Beauchamp, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of BMC, and The Wall Street Journal. BMC believes that it is important for stockholders to understand the context of Mr. Beauchamp’s remarks, rather than an out-of-context quote used by Elliott. The transcript follows:

WSJ: Anything specific you guys want to respond to that, that Elliott has said either, you know, in their presentation or, or elsewhere? I mean, is there, is there anything that kind of, really jumped out at you guys, that you guys want to make sure, you know, that we know?

Mr. Beauchamp: One thing that jumped out to me was the, was the fact that they said that BMC is not a good company, it’s a great company. And, great in all caps. And, I agree with that – we both agree with that. And, and we agree that we are well positioned and we just don’t agree that we need four new directors in order to execute that strategy. We think that we’ve got a very strong and independent Board of Directors who have proven to be able to grow and to change as the industry grows. We refresh our Board pretty regularly, and we think that we can do that using the strategy that we’ve been using.

WSJ: When was the last time you refreshed the Board?

Mr. Beauchamp: We added two directors in the last two years, three in the last five, and it’s part of our strategy to continue to do that.

WSJ: Okay, would you, I mean, consider adding one or, or two of Elliott’s people, you know, as a way to kind of ease this?

Mr. Beauchamp: We need to listen to all our, all of our shareholders, and, and we think that our Board does a great job of that, and we are always going to continue to pick great Board members. So, that’s – we’re going to continue to run the business as we, as we have run it and look to, to constantly improve the company and to make, keeping our board fresh as we go forward.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is serving as financial advisor and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz is serving as legal counsel to the Company.
