Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” relating to the acquisition of Convio by Blackbaud and the companies’ potential combined business. Those forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including factors that could delay, divert or change any of them, and actual outcomes and results could differ materially. Among other risks, there can be no guarantee that the acquisition will be completed, or if it is completed, that it will close within the anticipated time period or that the expected benefits of the acquisition and combined business will be realized. These forward-looking statements should be evaluated together with the risk factors and uncertainties that affect Blackbaud’s and Convio’s businesses, particularly those identified in their Annual Reports on Form 10-K and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Except as might be required by law, neither company undertakes any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Additional Information

In addition to the offer to purchase, the related letter of transmittal and other offer documents, as well as the solicitation/recommendation statement, Blackbaud and Convio file annual, quarterly and special reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. You may read and copy any of these reports, statements or other information in the EDGAR database at the SEC website, www.sec.gov, or at the SEC public reference room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.
