The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties the Company, Parent and Acquisition Sub made to each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the contract among the Company, Parent and Acquisition Sub and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the Company, Parent and Acquisition Sub in connection with the negotiated terms. Moreover, some of those representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to stockholders or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk among the Company, Parent and Acquisition Sub rather than establishing matters as facts. The Company’s stockholders and other investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of the Company, Parent, Acquisition Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.

Item 5.02(e) Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Change in Control Severance Agreements

Effective August 24, 2011, the Company entered into Change in Control Severance Agreements (the “CIC Agreements”) with Paul Wojcik, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Gregory McCaffery, President and Chief Operating Officer, Robert Ambrosini, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Carol Clark, Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer, and Eunice Lin, Executive Vice President and General Counsel (collectively, the "NEOs"), and Cynthia Bolbach, Executive Vice President and Corporate Secretary (together with the NEOs the "Executives").

Pursuant to the CIC Agreements, each Executive would be entitled to the following payments and benefits if, within two years following a change in control of the Company (which would include consummation of the Offer), their employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without “cause” or by the Executive for “good reason” (as those terms are defined in the CIC Agreements): a lump-sum payment of two times (three times in the case of Messrs. Wojcik and McCaffery) the Executive’s base salary as in effect immediately prior to the date of termination or, if higher, as in effect immediately prior to the first occurrence of an event or circumstance constituting good reason; a pro-rata portion of the Executive’s target annual bonus under any annual bonus or incentive plan in respect of the period in which the termination occurs; two years (three years in the case of Messrs. Wojcik and McCaffery) continuation of substantially similar medical and life benefits; an additional two years (three years in the case of Messrs. Wojcik and McCaffery) age and service credit for post-retirement medical benefit purposes; outplacement services suitable to the Executive’s position for two years (three years in the case of Messrs. Wojcik and McCaffery) or, if earlier, until acceptance of other employment; and continuation of perquisites for one

year. As a condition to such payments and benefits, the Executives would be required to execute a release of claims and comply with one-year noncompetition and nonsolicitation obligations.

The foregoing description of the CIC Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the CIC Agreement, a form of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

2011 Retention Program

Effective August 24, 2011, the Company adopted a 2011 Retention Program (the “Retention Program”) for approximately 31 employees, including the Executives. The Retention Program provides generally for a payment equal to a percentage of base salary: 75% for Messrs. Wojcik, McCaffery and Ambrosini and 25% for Ms. Bolbach, Ms. Clark and Ms. Lin.

If a change in control of the Company (which would include consummation of the Offer) occurs within two years following adoption of the Retention Program, one half of the benefit amount would be payable upon consummation of the change in control with the remainder paid six months later, in each case provided generally that the Executive remains employed at that time. If a change in control of the Company does not occur within two years following adoption of the Retention Program, the benefit amount would be payable upon completion of such two-year period provided generally that the Executive remains employed at that time. Upon termination of the Executive’s employment by reason of death or disability, by the Company without cause or by the Executive for good reason (as those terms are defined in the Retention Program), any remaining benefit amount is payable in full, subject to execution of a release of claims.

The foregoing description of the Retention Program is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Retention Program, a form of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The offer to purchase shares of BNA’s common stock will only be made pursuant to the offer to purchase, the letter of transmittal and related documents filed with such Schedule TO. INVESTORS AND BNA STOCKHOLDERS ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO CAREFULLY READ THE TENDER OFFER STATEMENT (INCLUDING THE OFFER TO PURCHASE, THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND THE RELATED TENDER OFFER DOCUMENTS) AND THE RELATED SOLICITATION/RECOMMENDATION STATEMENT, AS WELL AS ANY AMENDMENTS THERETO AND OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

Forward Looking Statements

This communication contains forward-looking statements relating to the potential acquisition of BNA by Bloomberg Inc. These forward-looking statements are made within the meaning of and pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The actual results of the acquisition could vary materially as a result of a number of factors, including: uncertainties as to how many of BNA’s stockholders will tender their stock in the offer; the possibility that competing offers will be made; and the possibility that various closing conditions for the transaction may not be satisfied or waived. Other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially include those set forth in the reports that we file from time to time with the SEC, including our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and quarterly and current reports on Form 10-Q and 8-K. These forward-looking statements reflect BNA’s expectations as of the date of this communication. BNA undertakes no obligation to update the information provided herein.
