Dear Sirs,

Subject:    Case M.7628 - PERMIRA / CPPIB / INFORMATICA
         Commission decision pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004[1] and Article 57 of the Agreement on the
         European Economic Area[2]

 1. On 21 May 2015, the European Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of the Merger Regulation  by
    which the undertakings Permira Holdings Limited (Guernesay) (“Permira”), through its wholly owned subsidiary EvomLux S.à.r.l.  (Luxembourg),
    and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (Canada) (“CPPIB”) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of  the  Merger  Regulation  joint
    control of the undertaking Informatica Corporation (USA) (“Informatica”) by way of purchase of shares.[3]

 2. The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

    - for Permira : Permira is a private equity firm that makes long term private equity investments in companies active across several business
    sectors that have potential for growth and investment.

    - for CPPIB : CPPIB invests in public and private equities, bonds, private debt, real estate, infrastructure, agriculture and other areas.

    - for Informatica : Informatica is active in the provision of enterprise data integration  software  and  services  used  by  businesses  to
    access, integrate and manage their data. The main software products offered by Informatica relate to data integration, data quality,  master
    data management and data security.

 3. After examination of the notification, the European Commission has concluded that the notified operation  falls  within  the  scope  of  the
    Merger Regulation and of paragraph 5(b) of the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment  of  certain  concentrations  under
    Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004.[4]

 4. For the reasons set out in the Notice on a simplified procedure, the European Commission has decided not to oppose  the  notified  operation
    and to declare it compatible with the internal market and with the EEA Agreement. This decision is adopted in application of Article 6(1)(b)
    of the Merger Regulation and Article 57 of the EEA Agreement.

                                       For the Commission

                                       (signed)
