SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., - October 29, 2021 - Thoma Bravo, a leading software investment firm, today announced the completion of its acquisition of Medallia, a global leader in customer and employee experience, in an all-cash transaction valued at $6.4 billion. The

trading and is no longer listed on the NYSE. Medallia will remain headquartered in San Francisco.
"The close of this transaction is an important milestone in Medallia's history as we embark on our next chapter of growth as a private company", said Leslie Stretch,
President and CEO of Medallia. "I am incredibly proud of all that we have achieved since our founding in 2001 and am confident that our new partnership with Thoma Bravo will catalyze Medallia's ability to deliver continued innovation to the market,
bolster our position as an innovation leader and set us apart as we maximize value for our stakeholders".
"With its best-in-class SaaS platform and AI capabilities, Medallia is leading and redefining the experience management market", said Scott Crabill, a Managing Partner at
Thoma Bravo. "We are excited to officially join forces with the Medallia team and look forward to working together to expand the company's customer reach and begin a new phase of differentiated growth".
"We are thrilled to support Medallia's long-term growth and leverage Thoma Bravo's operational and software expertise to capitalize on a rapidly growing market opportunity
