NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

INFOR Financial Group Inc. ("INFOR") and INFOR Acquisition Corp. ("INFOR Acquisition") announce that INFOR Acquisition has filed a preliminary prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities in all provinces and territories of Canada and has obtained a receipt therefor in respect of its initial public offering (the "Offering") of $100,000,000 of Class A Restricted Voting Units. The proceeds from the distribution of the Class A Restricted Voting Units will be deposited into an escrow account and will only be released upon certain prescribed conditions.

The Offering is being distributed by a syndicate of underwriters led by CIBC, BMO Capital Markets, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., GMP Securities L.P. and TD Securities Inc., and includes Canaccord Genuity Corp., National Bank Financial Inc., Cormark Securities Inc. and Manulife Securities Incorporated (collectively, the "Underwriters"). Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. is not registered to sell securities in any Canadian jurisdiction and, accordingly, will only sell Class A Restricted Voting Units outside of Canada.

INFOR is the sponsor of INFOR Acquisition. INFOR is an independent merchant bank based in Toronto.

Each Class A Restricted Voting Unit has an offering price of $10.00 per Class A Restricted Voting Unit and consists of one Class A Restricted Voting Share and one‐half of a warrant ("Warrant"). Following the Qualifying Acquisition, as defined in the preliminary prospectus, each Class A Restricted Voting Share will be automatically converted into one Class B Share and each whole Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Class B Share of INFOR Acquisition at an exercise price of $11.50, subject to the terms and conditions described in the preliminary prospectus. Upon certain events, the Class A Restricted Voting Shares, forming part of the Class Restricted Voting Units, will be redeemable by holders for a pro‐rata portion of the escrow account, net of taxes payable and other prescribed amounts, as further described in the preliminary prospectus.

INFOR Acquisition's Board of Directors is comprised of:
