$6.60 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any required tax withholding. All stockholders who properly tender their shares into the tender offer before the expiration time (9:00 A.M., New York City time, on
January&nbsp;16, 2015, unless the tender offer is extended or earlier terminated) will receive payment for their shares as soon as practicable following consummation of the tender offer. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If you are a stockholder and hold your shares through a broker (such as E*Trade), you will
receive information (including by e-mail) from your broker regarding how to tender your shares. Please follow the instructions from your broker, which may require logging into your brokerage account with a &#147;control number&#148; and giving an
affirmative instruction to your broker to tender your shares into the tender offer. If you have questions, we would recommend contacting your broker first; however, if you do not know your broker&#146;s number or they cannot answer your questions,
you may also contact D.F. King&nbsp;&amp; Co., Inc., the Information Agent for the tender offer, with any questions. They can be reached at (877)&nbsp;864-5059 or <U>actuate@dfking.com</U>. With respect to Actuate shares that you hold in an E*Trade
account, the same procedure applies whether the shares were acquired through the Actuate ESPP or through any other method. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If you are a
stockholder and do not hold your shares through a broker, you will receive printed materials with instructions on how to tender your shares. If you have not yet received those materials or have any questions, please contact D.F. King&nbsp;&amp; Co.,
Inc., the Information Agent for the tender offer. They can be reached at (877)&nbsp;864-5059 or <U>actuate@dfking.com</U>. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If you do not
tender your shares and thereafter the tender offer is consummated, all Actuate shares will be converted in the merger into the right to receive the same amount of cash per share as if you had tendered your shares ($6.60 in cash, without interest and
less any required withholding taxes). However, to ensure that you receive your payment as soon as practicable, we would encourage you to follow the requisite instructions and tender your shares prior to January&nbsp;16, 2015. </P>
