Blackbaud Completes Tender Offer for Kintera.

CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Blackbaud, Inc. (NASDAQ: BLKB) today announced the completion of its tender offer by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Eucalyptus Acquisition Corporation, at $1.12 net per share in cash for all the outstanding shares of common stock of Kintera, Inc. (NASDAQ: KNTA). The tender offer expired at 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, on Monday, July 7, 2008.

The depositary for the offer has advised Blackbaud and Eucalyptus Acquisition Corporation that, as of the expiration of the initial offering period, approximately 37.3 million shares were tendered, delivered, and not withdrawn in the tender offer. Those shares represent approximately 92.0% of Kintera's outstanding shares as of the expiration of the initial offering period. As of that time, approximately 750,000 additional shares, or another 1.8%, were tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures and are subject to delivery of the shares within three trading days after the date of the guarantee. All validly tendered shares have been accepted for payment in accordance with the terms of the tender offer.

Blackbaud expects to effect, without a vote or meeting of Kintera stockholders, a "short-form" merger as soon as practicable to complete the Kintera acquisition. Following the acquisition, Kintera will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blackbaud. In the merger, each of the remaining shares of Kintera common stock (other than any shares in respect of which appraisal rights are validly exercised under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive the same $1.12 net per share in cash that was paid in the tender offer. Following the merger, Kintera's common stock will cease to be traded on NASDAQ.
