Dear Valued Channel Partners:

Today, we announced an agreement under which NCR, the global leader of point of sale and self service solutions in the Financial Services and Retail industries, intends to acquire all outstanding shares of Radiant. The combination is fully supported by the management teams of both companies. This $1.2 billion transaction will bring together two leading technology companies and accelerates NCR’s strategic focus on growing its business in the markets Radiant serves. NCR also provides an improved infrastructure which Radiant can leverage for the good of the industries we serve.

We are very excited about this announcement and believe that it will be great for our employees, customers and partners. NCR is a very well-respected company which has realized many successes in its 127-year history. NCR’s investment in Radiant reflects the strength of Radiant’s strategy, business model, results and excitement about our future. The combination of the two companies, which are very complementary, will allow us to leverage NCR’s infrastructure to better serve our markets. The Radiant business will become a new vertical business for NCR – which Andy Heyman, Radiant’s current Chief Operating Officer, will lead. Other members of the Radiant management team will also play integral roles in this new line of business for NCR.

NCR intends to help Radiant accelerate its growth strategy in the small business community. Accordingly, part of NCR’s strategic rationale for the acquisition is the opportunity to leverage Radiant’s strong channel partner community, enhancing NCR’s market coverage and ultimately supporting its goal of building a world-class channel partner network. The two businesses are very complementary and have virtually no overlap.

For the foreseeable future we plan to run this business status quo and as a result, expect minimal disruption to your business. Over time, we believe that the combined channel capabilities the new NCR creates will provide you with an unprecedented competitive advantage for your business. We will bring more solutions to more markets with this expanded partner network. We will deliver Radiant solutions through new channels reaching markets we do not currently serve, with a more recognized brand and set of distribution capabilities, and will assess a broader set of capabilities that can be delivered through the Radiant channel partner network.

You are a very important part of this strategy moving forward. We believe that together with your support, we can better serve our very important small business community and at the same time help your business prosper and grow.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or your Account Manager/RSM.

Sincerely,
John Heyman, CEO
