Transaction Summary

•$3.4 billion stock for stock deal

•Fixed exchange ratio of 0.69 Adobe shares for every Macromedia share

•Pro forma Adobe ownership of 18% for Macromedia stockholders

•Expected closing by Fall 2005

•Subject to Macromedia and Adobe stockholder approvals, and customary regulatory approvals

•Expected to be break even to slightly accretive to earnings in first 12 months after the close of transaction on a non-GAAP basis*

•Adobe Board of Directors has authorized $1 billion stock repurchase to be executed after close of the transaction

*Due the absence at this time of estimates of the acquisition-related restructuring cost and the allocation of the purchase price between goodwill, in-process R&D, other tangibles and equity-based compensation expenses related to SFAS 123R, Adobe is currently unable to provide GAAP estimates on future earnings. Adobe’s target of break even to slightly accretive to earnings on a non-GAAP basis assumes no adverse impact from the loss of deferred revenue in the first twelve months following the close due to purchase accounting.
