<h3 style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;color:black;font-weight:normal">I am happy to announce that Ex Libris has signed an agreement to acquire Innovative.</span><o:p></o:p></h3>
<h3 style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;color:black;font-weight:normal">Founded in 1978, Innovative is a highly respected company with over 40 years of experience in serving public and academic libraries. The company’s complementary
software portfolio includes integrated library systems and solutions in the areas of resource sharing, library discovery, digital asset management, and metadata management. As part of the acquisition, Innovative will become a business unit within Ex Libris,
reporting to me. Innovative’s products, which customers have been using and relying on for many years, will continue to be supported and enhanced.</span><o:p></o:p></h3>
<h3 style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;color:black;font-weight:normal">This exciting acquisition aligns with emerging trends in our industry, whereby libraries of all types are looking for new ways in which they can increase
their value to their immediate and extended environments. We have been hearing from many of you how important it is for your institution to collaborate more closely with your community and the public for the common good. Innovative’s investment in the public
library sector will enable us to proactively drive new forms of partnerships and collaboration, helping you expand your contribution to your community.
</span><o:p></o:p></h3>
<h3 style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;color:black;font-weight:normal">With the addition of Innovative, we will expand our global teams, including Customer Support, Implementation, and Training Services. Our combined expertise
will help us accelerate existing initiatives related to library management, discovery, teaching and learning, and research solutions, as well as introduce new ones. For example, together we will be better positioned to serve consortia that have a mix of academic,
research, special, and public libraries and advance our recently announced resource sharing initiative.</span><o:p></o:p></h3>
<h3 style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;color:black;font-weight:normal">At the same time, our strategic mission of supporting academic institutions remains in force, and we will continue to execute our product roadmap as
planned. We will keep on investing in library services and connecting libraries to teaching, learning, and research through our broad range of higher-ed cloud solutions.</span><o:p></o:p></h3>
<h3 style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;color:black;font-weight:normal">Working together with the Ex Libris community has always been a key part of our culture. We value our close partnership with you and look forward to
receiving your input and guidance as we move along this exciting path.</span><o:p></o:p></h3>
<h3 style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;color:black;font-weight:normal">The acquisition is expected to close in early 2020. For more information about this announcement, please see the
