INFOBLOX ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT TO BE ACQUIRED BY VISTA EQUITY PARTNERS FOR $26.50
PER SHARE IN CASH

 * September 19, 2016

Transaction Valued at Approximately $1.6 Billion. Purchase Price Represents a
33% Premium Over 60 Day Average and 73% Premium to Unaffected Stock Price

Infoblox Inc. (NYSE:BLOX), the network control company, today announced that it
has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Vista Equity Partners
(“Vista”), a leading private equity firm focused on software, data and
technology-enabled businesses. Under the terms of the agreement, Infoblox
stockholders will receive $26.50 per share of common stock in cash, which
represents a 33% premium to Infoblox’s average closing share price over the last
60 trading days, and a 73% premium to Infoblox’s unaffected closing price as of
May 11, 2016, when media reports of interest in acquiring Infoblox were first
published. The transaction values Infoblox at approximately $1.6 billion. The
agreement was unanimously approved by Infoblox’s Board of Directors.

“Vista has an excellent track record of supporting and adding value to
technology companies, and we are thrilled to bring on a partner of their caliber
and strategic expertise,” said Jesper Andersen, President and CEO of Infoblox.
“This transaction will provide immediate and substantial value to Infoblox
stockholders, while also giving Infoblox greater flexibility to execute on our
long-term strategy to drive increased DDI automation and DNS security into the
enterprise market. We are excited to begin our partnership with Vista and look
forward to leveraging their operational insights as we continue to deliver the
industry-leading products, solutions and customer service on which our customers
rely.”

“As all industries are moving to the cloud in record speed, and as connected
devices proliferate, companies depend more than ever on network automation and
security,” said Brian Sheth, Co-Founder and President of Vista Equity Partners.
“Infoblox is the trusted market leader in DDI solutions, and their strategy and
portfolio of secure automated networking solutions make the company uniquely
positioned to deliver for its customers. We are looking forward to working with
the talented team at Infoblox to support the company’s strategic vision and grow
its industry leadership.”

Infoblox’s Board of Directors received and thoroughly evaluated multiple
indications of interest before deciding to proceed with this transaction. The
transaction will be effected by means of a tender offer followed by a merger,
and the Infoblox Board of Directors unanimously recommends Infoblox stockholders
tender their shares in the offer. The transaction is expected to close in
Infoblox’s fiscal second quarter, subject to customary closing conditions and
regulatory approvals. Infoblox will maintain its corporate headquarters in Santa
Clara, California and continue to be led by its current executive team.

For further information regarding the terms and conditions contained in the
definitive merger agreement, please see Infoblox’s Current Report on Form 8-K,
which will be filed in connection with this transaction.

Morgan Stanley is acting as exclusive financial advisor and Fenwick & West LLP
is acting as legal advisor to Infoblox. Vista’s legal advisor is Kirkland &
Ellis LLP.
