"In today's landscape, digital process automation and management are critical 
to any company's ability to work effectively and efficiently," said Nehal Raj, 
Co-Managing Partner of TPG Capital. "The automation of the enterprise is a core 
investment theme for our software team, and we believe Nintex is at the 
forefront of enabling this transformation. While the company serves thousands 
of organizations today, we believe they are only scratching the surface in 
terms of the breadth of departmental and industry process solutions needed. We

An Unwavering Commitment to Customer Success

During the nearly four years of Thoma Bravo's majority sponsorship, Nintex 
delivered strong organic innovation and completed four strategic acquisitions 
that significantly expanded the breadth and depth of its digital process 
solutions.  It acquired a visual cloud-based process mapping and management 
solution offered today as Nintex Promapp(R), which includes easy, one-click 
generation of workflows through the Nintex Workflow Cloud; a robotic process

technologies including sophisticated app development tools known as Nintex K2 
Five and Nintex K2 Cloud; and, most recently, a secure electronic signature 
solution offered today as Nintex AssureSign.

results delivered by Nintex over the last few years," said Hudson Smith, a 
Partner at Thoma Bravo. "From product engineering to marketing, sales, and 
customer success, Nintex has been laser focused on what matters most – ensuring 
the success of everyone leveraging Nintex software to improve and automate 
business. We're very optimistic about Nintex's future and look forward to our 
continued partnership with the company."
