We’ve been investing in software since shortly after the dot-com crisis. We focus on creating value from day one by seeking to find a clear path to operational efficiency and profitable growth. And because software is our focus, we know it inside and out — the trends, processes, pitfalls and the ingredients that matter most. Sticking to this approach has helped us find opportunities in various market environments, from the global financial crisis to the Covid pandemic. We believe the best time to do a good deal is when you can, based on company fundamentals, not market cycles. For more than 20 years, our managing partners have worked together side by side, developing valuable relationships and deep industry knowledge. We share a profound sense of responsibility to our investors and strive to be thoughtful stewards of capital. As of 3/31/2026. The total number of transactions and aggregate enterprise value of the transactions include control and non-control investments, as well as add-on acquisitions. Market-leading software companies partner with Thoma Bravo to leverage our firm’s deep sector knowledge, demonstrated track record, partnership-oriented approach and strategic and operational expertise. A commitment to good governance has been a cornerstone of our firm’s ethos since its founding and can be key to unlocking value. Our approach considers a range of dynamic factors, including regulatory developments, shifting market expectations, and reputational and operational risks and opportunities — much of which has traditionally been covered under the umbrella concept of Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG"). As the ESG landscape has matured, so too has our approach. In 2025, we transformed our ESG strategy under the new framework of Responsible Growth and Governance ("RGo") . This transformation reflects both a symbolic and practical shift, broadening our focus beyond a more conventional ESG lens to one that better captures the complex, interconnected factors that can shape the performance of software and technology-enabled services companies. Furthermore, RGo reinforces our view that value creation stems from responsible business practices and strong governance. Our dedicated RGo team collaborates with our investment teams and portfolio companies to identify and improve performance on (i) cybersecurity and data privacy, (ii) artificial intelligence, (iii) operations and oversight, (iv) human capital, and (v) sustainability and stewardship. These areas form part of the foundation of how we seek to drive performance, manage risk and build long-term resilience across our portfolio. Any references to RGo activities represent current initiatives or approaches, which are subject to change. There can be no assurance or guarantee that Thoma Bravo will implement the activities described herein or that such activities will prove beneficial. In October, Thoma Bravo sponsored the Little Lighthouse Foundation's (LLF) children’s Halloween party in Miami. Along with the help of volunteers and partners, LLF created a safe, fun-filled space filled with candy, games, activities, food and more — they even collected and delivered costumes to the children before the event! Thoma Bravo once again partnered with Feeding South Florida to sponsor and staff their annual Turkey Drive! Colleagues from the Miami office volunteered to help hand out Thanksgiving kits to families facing food insecurity, enabling them to cook a Thanksgiving meal. Thoma Bravo employees in Miami kicked off another special holiday tradition: our annual Christmas tree lot benefiting Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade. Proceeds from tree sales will fund the Clubs' crucial programs and services. London employees participated in the Bright Ideas for Tennis 24-hour tennis marathon, raising funds for inclusive tennis programs for people with disabilities. This summer, Thoma Bravo hosted all 12 of its newest Associates in Miami for a week of training, meetings and intr
