The following is a transcript of a video message from BMC Software, Inc.’s Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer Bob Beauchamp that was made available to all employees on June 25, 2012.

Hello to all my co-workers here at BMC.

We have just a few days until the end of Q1 and it’s been a busy quarter already.

There’s a tremendous amount of great work going on all around this company. Almost every day, I hear from customers about how you’re making a difference for them and helping them to succeed.

In fact, not long ago the CIO one of our largest customers in Mexico and one of the largest companies on earth was telling us how they see BMC as critical to their company’s growth—because we enable their information technology to accompany their business growth goals.

I’m pleased to see how you’ve taken the momentum we established at the end of fiscal year 2012 and kept the energy going as fiscal year ’13 got underway.

But I do know there are external matters that have caused some of you to have some questions.

As you know, a group called Elliott Associates recently acquired approximately 6.5% of BMC’s stock.

They’ve proposed to replace four members of our board of directors. What I’ve heard from employees is that you want to better understand how this process works and what it means.

Well, it’s similar to a political election. But instead of electing public officials, the vote is for who will be on BMC’s Board of Directors. Elliott has proposed their four nominees, and they are hoping that those four nominees replace four of our current directors.

We believe that our current Board has the experience and diversity of backgrounds to best represent all our stockholders.

Under the leadership and direction of our current Board, we’ve built our business into the company it is today—one that Elliott recently said isn’t a good company, it’s a GREAT company.

On this we both agree.

Elliott has made their proposal now because all members of our Board of Directors are up for re-election every year at our annual meeting. This year, our annual meeting is on July 25th and that’s when voting concludes.

Between now and July 25th, both groups are talking to our voters—our shareholders—and explaining their positions and our positions. Shareholders will receive letters in the mail, they may read articles in the media, and then they’ll make their decision. This is all part of the process, just like a political election.

One thing that is different from a political election is that shareholders can vote a number of different ways, and they can vote at any time up until the annual meeting, including changing their vote.

I know some of you have questions about voting. Later this week, we’ll be posting a more detailed FAQ on that process in the “What’s New” section of our intranet home page.

Voting is important, but the most important thing we can do, is to do our jobs in the very best way we can for our customers and shareholders.

Whether you’re working on closing a deal this week, delivering a new product enhancement, supporting our customers, or supporting our business units, executing our plan is our top priority and must be every day.

Thank you for keeping the momentum going and staying focused on our customers.

Now, let’s have a great week and let’s have a great finish to Q1.
