Stock Performance Graph
The graph below compares the cumulative total stockholder return on our common stock with the cumulative total return on the S&P 500
Index and the S&P 500 Systems Software index for the period beginning on August 14, 2007 (the date our Class A common stock commenced
trading on the New York Stock Exchange) through December 31, 2009, assuming an initial investment of $100. While the IPO price of our
common stock was $29.00 per share, the graph assumes the initial value of our common stock on August 14, 2007 was the closing sales price of
$51.00 per share. Data for the S&P 500 Index and the S&P 500 Systems Software Index assume reinvestment of dividends.
Note: The stock price performance shown on the graph above is not necessarily indicative of future price performance. This graph shall not be
deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section nor shall it be deemed
incorporated by reference in any filing under Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in
such filing.
