Dear Fluent Customer, We are very pleased to announce that we signed a definitive agreement for ANSYS to acquire Fluent. We expect to close the transaction on or around April 3^rd , 2006 after we get the requisite approvals (government agencies, shareholders, and bondholders). This acquisition will combine the leading structural analysis software company with the leading fluid flow analysis software company. We will create a company focused on and capable of providing best-in-class CAE tools to our customers, integrated in a manner that will allow easy and rapid analyses of engineering designs. Please be assured that you will see no detrimental changes in our interactions with you. We will continue with our industry-leading products and customer support. In other words, nothing will change until the transaction closes. Once the transaction has closed, you will see an increase in the range of simulation capabilities available to you from the combined companies. Our development plans will most likely be augmented with additional features and capabilities that will come from access to ANSYS technology. We will also work to provide a close integration between Fluent and ANSYS products. More detailed information will be provided once the transaction is closed and we have had a chance to work on the integration plans. We are very excited about this business combination since it will allow us to provide you with new technology faster and create close coupling between various multi-physics analyses capabilities that the two companies have. This will allow you to do the various engineering analyses much more efficiently. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. Best Regards, Bart Patel, CEO and Ferit Boysan, President and COO Fluent Inc. -- 酒 楚王帐里醉听歌﹐北戍迎风夜渡河 避乱草堂须典当﹐谪居赤壁借消磨 愁肠一缕红烛泪﹐壮志孤灯宝剑何 古往今来尽如此﹐无情伴我渐蹉跎 --
