Item 1.01.     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Merger Agreement
On October 3, 2018, Cloudera, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Cloudera ”), Hortonworks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Hortonworks ”), and Surf Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Cloudera (“ Merger Sub ”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “ Merger Agreement ”) for a proposed “merger of equals” transaction, pursuant to which, and subject to the conditions in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Hortonworks (the “ Merger ”), with Hortonworks surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Cloudera. The respective boards of directors of Cloudera and Hortonworks have each approved the Merger Agreement.
Cloudera and Hortonworks intend, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Merger Agreement was adopted as a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g).
Merger Consideration
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “ Effective Time ”), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Cloudera, Hortonworks, Merger Sub or any holder of any of the securities of Cloudera, Hortonworks or Merger Sub, each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Hortonworks (“ Hortonworks Common Stock ”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the shares that are owned by Hortonworks, Cloudera or Merger Sub) will be converted into the right to receive 1.305 (the “ Exchange Ratio ”) newly issued shares of common stock (the “ Cloudera Common Stock ”), par value $0.00005 per share, of Cloudera (the “ Hortonworks Common Stock Merger Consideration ”).
No fractional shares of Cloudera Common Stock will be issued in the Merger, and Hortonworks stockholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares as part of the Hortonworks Common Stock Merger Consideration, as specified in the Merger Agreement. Shares of Cloudera Common Stock will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“ NYSE ”).
The Exchange Ratio is expected to result in Hortonworks common stockholders owning approximately 40% of the outstanding shares of Cloudera Common Stock (calculated on a fully diluted basis) immediately following the Effective Time.
Any shares of Hortonworks Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the shares that are owned by Hortonworks, Cloudera or Merger Sub) that are unvested or subject to a repurchase option or obligation, risk of forfeiture or other condition will be converted into Cloudera Common Stock which is also unvested and subject to the same repurchase option or obligation, risk of forfeiture or other condition.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, options to purchase shares of Hortonworks Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (“ Hortonworks Options ”) will generally be assumed by Cloudera and converted into an option to acquire that number of shares of Cloudera Common Stock (each, a “ Cloudera Option ”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Hortonworks Common Stock subject to such Hortonworks Option by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share of Cloudera Common Stock. All Cloudera Options will be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting and exercisability) as applied to the Hortonworks Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; however, eachCloudera Option will have an exercise price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share exercise price of the Hortonworks Option by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
At the Effective Time, each Hortonworks restricted stock unit outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “ Hortonworks RSU ”) will be assumed by Cloudera and converted into an award to receive that number of shares of Cloudera Common Stock (each a " Cloudera RSU ") equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Hortonworks Common Stock subject to such Hortonworks RSU by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share of Cloudera Common Stock. All Assumed Units shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting and settlement) as applied to the respective Hortonworks RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time; however, each Hortonworks RSU that was granted with a purchase price other than par value shall have a purchase



price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share purchase price of Hortonworks Common Stock subject to such Hortonworks RSU by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
Prior to the Effective Time, Hortonworks will take appropriate action to provide that each Hortonworks performance stock units (each a " Hortonworks PSU ") will entitle the holder thereof to receive, immediately prior to the Effective Time and subject to the closing of the Merger, the number of shares of Hortonworks Common Stock underlying such Hortonworks PSU determined based on the greater of target performance or actual performance (measured through the Effective Time). Any shares of Hortonworks Common Stock so delivered in respect of Hortonworks PSUs will be deemed to be issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and subject to the treatment of Hortonworks Common Stock as described above.
Governance
The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the closing of the Merger, the board of directors of Cloudera (the “ New Cloudera Board ”) will initially consist of nine directors. Four directors, including Rob Bearden, will come from Hortonworks’ existing board of directors and five directors, including Tom Reilly, will come from Cloudera’s existing board of directors. It is anticipated that one additional director will be selected by the New Cloudera Board. Current Cloudera board member Martin Cole will become chairman of the New Cloudera Board.
In addition, upon the closing of the Merger, Cloudera’s Chief Executive Officer, Tom Reilly, will serve as Chief Executive Officer; Hortonworks’ Chief Operating Officer, Scott Davidson, will serve as Chief Operating Officer; Hortonworks’ Chief Product Officer, Arun C. Murthy, will serve as Chief Product Officer; and Cloudera’s Chief Financial Officer, Jim Frankola, will serve as Chief Financial Officer, of the combined company.
Conditions to the Merger
The consummation of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including (i) the absence of any adverse law or order promulgated, entered, enforced, enacted or issued by any governmental entity that prohibits, restrains or makes illegal the consummation of the Merger, (ii) the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) having declared effective the Form S-4 Registration Statement of Cloudera which will contain the joint proxy statement/prospectus of the parties in connection with the Merger, (iii) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Hortonworks Common Stock entitled to vote thereon, (iv) the approval of the issuance of shares of Cloudera Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of a majority of votes present or represented by proxy at Cloudera’s stockholder meeting in connection with the Merger, (v) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (vi) the authorization for listing on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance, of the shares of Cloudera Common Stock to be issued in the Merger, the shares of Cloudera Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise of all Cloudera Options, and the shares of Cloudera Common Stock to be issued in settlement of all Cloudera RSUs, (vii) the receipt of certain opinions from legal counsel regarding the intended tax treatment of the Merger, (viii) subject to certain materiality exceptions, the accuracy of certain representations and warranties of each of Cloudera and Hortonworks contained in the Merger Agreement and the compliance by each party with the covenants contained in the Merger Agreement, and (ix) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to each of Cloudera and Hortonworks. The parties expect the Merger will be completed in the first quarter of calendar year 2019.
Certain Other Terms of the Merger Agreement
Cloudera, Hortonworks and Merger Sub each have made certain representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among other things, covenants by Cloudera and Hortonworks to conduct their businesses in the ordinary course during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and consummation of the Merger, to refrain from taking certain actions specified in the Merger Agreement and to use reasonable best efforts to cause the conditions to the Merger to be satisfied.
Neither Cloudera nor Hortonworks is permitted to solicit, initiate, induce or knowingly encourage or facilitate, any alternative transaction proposals from third parties or to engage in discussions or negotiations with third parties regarding any alternative transaction proposals. Notwithstanding this limitation, prior to a party’s stockholders approving the transaction, such party may under certain circumstances provide information to and participate in discussions or negotiations with third parties with respect to an alternative transaction proposal that its board of directors has determined in good faith constitutes



or is reasonably likely to lead to a superior proposal. Each party’s board of directors may change its recommendation to its stockholders (subject to the other party’s right to terminate the Merger Agreement following such change in recommendation) in response to a superior proposal or an intervening event if the board of directors determines in good faith that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
The Merger Agreement provides for certain termination rights for both Cloudera and Hortonworks. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain specified circumstances, Cloudera or Hortonworks may be required to pay the other party a termination fee of $95 million or $65 million, respectively. In addition, if the Merger Agreement is terminated by Cloudera or Hortonworks as a result of the other party’s failure to obtain stockholder approval, then the non-terminating party may be required to reimburse the terminating party for its documented out-of-pocket expenses, up to a maximum amount of $20 million (if the Merger Agreement is terminated as a result of a failure of Hortonworks to obtain stockholder approval) or $30 million (if the Merger Agreement is terminated as a result of a failure of Cloudera to obtain stockholder approval).
The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Merger Agreement has been attached as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K in order to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Cloudera, Hortonworks, or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates or to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about Cloudera, Hortonworks or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates in its public reports filed with the SEC. The Merger Agreement includes representations, warranties and covenants of Cloudera and Hortonworks that were made solely for the purposes of the Merger Agreement and of specific dates, were solely for the benefits of the parties thereto, and which may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by Cloudera and Hortonworks in connection with the negotiated terms of the Merger Agreement. Moreover, some of those representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date, may be subject to certain disclosures between the parties and a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to Cloudera’s or Hortonworks’ SEC filings. In addition, the representations and warranties were made for purposes of allocating risk among the parties to the Merger Agreement and should not be relied upon as establishing factual matters.

The persons signed the Cloudera Support Agreements currently beneficially own an aggregate of approximately 19% of the outstanding Cloudera Common Stock. The foregoing description of the Cloudera Support Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Cloudera Support Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

Subject to the terms of Section 7.8(b) , Cloudera and Hortonworks shall take such actions reasonably necessary to cause the Bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, to become the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation as of immediately following the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such Bylaws.
(b)      Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation

1.4      Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock of the Merging Corporations
(a)      Capital Stock of Merger Sub . Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each certificate evidencing ownership of such shares of common stock of Merger Sub shall thereafter evidence ownership of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
(b)      Capital Stock of Hortonworks .
(i)      Generally . Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Cloudera, Merger Sub, Hortonworks, or the holders of any of the following securities, other than as otherwise set forth in this Section 1.4(b) , each share of Hortonworks Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive 1.305 shares of Cloudera Common Stock (the “ Exchange Ratio ”) and the cash payable in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to this Section 1.4(b)(i) (the “ Common Stock Consideration ”) upon the surrender of such share of Hortonworks Common Stock in the manner provided in Section 2.3(c) (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit of loss and indemnity in the manner provided in Section 2.3(e) ); provided, however , that (x) the Exchange Ratio shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Cloudera Common Stock or Hortonworks Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change with respect to Cloudera Common Stock or Hortonworks Common Stock having a record date on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, and (y) notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, no fraction of a share of Cloudera Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger, and in lieu thereof, each holder of record of shares of Hortonworks Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Hortonworks Common Stock pursuant to this Section 1.4(b)(i) (after aggregating all fractional shares of Cloudera Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder of record) shall, upon the surrender of such share of Hortonworks Common Stock in the manner provided in Section 2.3(c) (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit of loss and indemnity in the manner provided in Section 2.3(e) ), receive an amount of cash (rounded down to the nearest whole cent), without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying such fraction by the Closing Average. From and after the Effective Time, all shares of Hortonworks Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled, retired and cease to exist, and each holder of shares of Hortonworks Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the shares of Cloudera Common Stock issuable in respect thereof pursuant to this Section 1.4(b)(i) , cash in lieu of any fractional shares payable in respect thereof pursuant to this Section 1.4(b)(i) and any dividends or other distributions payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.3(d) . All shares of Cloudera Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Hortonworks Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash paid in respect thereof pursuant to this Section 1.4(b)(i) in lieu of a fractional share of Cloudera Common Stock and any dividends or other distributions paid in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.3(d) ) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Hortonworks Common Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Hortonworks Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a certificate representing shares of Hortonworks Common Stock is presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, then such certificate shall be canceled and exchanged for the Common Stock Consideration in accordance with this Section 1.4(b) , any cash payable in respect thereof pursuant to

3




this Section 1.4(b)(i) in lieu of a fractional share of Cloudera Common Stock and any dividends or other distributions payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.3(d) .
(ii)      Owned Shares of Hortonworks Common Stock . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Cloudera, Merger Sub, Hortonworks, or the holders of any of the following securities, each share of Hortonworks Common Stock that is owned by Cloudera, Merger Sub or Hortonworks, or by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Cloudera, Merger Sub or Hortonworks, in each case immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or consideration paid therefor.
(iii)      Restricted Shares of Hortonworks Common Stock . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if any shares of Hortonworks Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or subject to a repurchase option or obligation, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement with Hortonworks or under which Hortonworks has any rights (the “ Hortonworks Restricted Stock ”), then the Common Stock Consideration payable in exchange for such Hortonworks Restricted Stock also shall be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option or obligation, risk of forfeiture or other condition. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Hortonworks Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) and the Cloudera Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) shall adopt any corporate resolutions that may be reasonably necessary to provide that, from and after the Effective Time, Cloudera is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option or other right set forth in any such restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement.
(c)      Stock Awards of Hortonworks .
(i)      Stock Options . At the Effective Time, each Hortonworks Stock Award that is a stock option to purchase shares of Hortonworks Common Stock (each a “ Hortonworks Stock Option ”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable (each, an “ Assumed Option ”), shall be assumed by Cloudera and converted into an option to acquire that number of shares of Cloudera Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Hortonworks Common Stock subject to such Hortonworks Stock Option by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share of Cloudera Common Stock. Each Assumed Option shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting and exercisability) as were applicable under the respective Hortonworks Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that each Assumed Option shall have an exercise price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share exercise price of Hortonworks Common Stock subject to such Assumed Option by (y) the Exchange Ratio (which price per share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent). It is the intention of the parties that each Assumed Option that qualified as a United States-based incentive stock option (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) shall continue to so qualify, to the maximum extent permissible, following the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Stock Option is subject to the Legal Requirements of a non-U.S. jurisdiction and Cloudera determines (in good faith and upon advice from Cloudera’s legal counsel) the Stock Option may not be converted into an Assumed Option under a Legal Requirement of the relevant non-U.S. jurisdiction (including without limitation by reason of a failure to obtain any required regulatory consents or approvals after making reasonable commercial efforts to obtain such consents or approvals) (such Stock Options, the “ Unassumed Options ”), Cloudera shall: (A), if necessary to ensure compliance with applicable Legal Requirements, require that outstanding Unassumed Options be accelerated and exercised only by a cashless exercise pursuant to which employees will authorize a broker to sell all shares that they are entitled to at exercise immediately upon exercise and receive the difference between the

4




fair market value of the shares at exercise and the exercise price in cash; (B) provide for conversion of the Unassumed Options into the right to receive, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, an amount in cash determined by multiplying (x) the excess, if any, of the Closing Average over the applicable exercise price of such Unassumed Option by (y) the number of Hortonworks shares subject to such Unassumed Option, less all applicable deductions and withholdings required by applicable Legal Requirements to be withheld in respect of such payment; or (C) provide for such other treatment that is in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements and reasonably agreed upon by Cloudera and Hortonworks at least twenty (20) days prior to the Effective Time.
(ii)      Restricted Stock Units . At the Effective Time, each Hortonworks Restricted Stock Unit that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested (each, an “ Assumed Unit ”), shall be assumed by Cloudera; provided, however , that each Assumed Unit shall be converted into an award to receive that number of shares of Cloudera Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Hortonworks Common Stock subject to such Assumed Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share of Cloudera Common Stock. Each Assumed Unit shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting and issuance) as were applicable under the respective Hortonworks Restricted Stock Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Assumed Unit that was granted with a purchase price other than par value shall have a purchase price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share purchase price of Hortonworks Common Stock subject to such Assumed Unit by (y) the Exchange Ratio (which price per share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Hortonworks Restricted Stock Unit is subject to the Legal Requirements of a non-U.S. jurisdiction and Cloudera determines (in good faith and upon advice from Cloudera’s legal counsel) the Restricted Stock Unit may not be converted into an Assumed Unit under a Legal Requirement of the relevant non-U.S. jurisdiction (including without limitation by reason of a failure to obtain any required regulatory consents or approvals after making reasonable commercial efforts to obtain such consents or approvals), Cloudera shall provide for such other treatment that is in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements and reasonably agreed upon by Cloudera and Hortonworks at least twenty (20) days prior to the Effective Time.
(iii)      Performance Stock Units . Prior to the Effective Time, the Hortonworks Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) will adopt resolutions and take all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide that each award of Hortonworks Performance Stock Units shall entitle the holder thereof to receive, immediately prior to the Effective Time and subject to the occurrence of the Closing, the number of shares of Hortonworks Common Stock that are earned thereunder shall be determined based on the greater of target performance or actual performance (measured through the Effective Time). Any shares of Hortonworks Common Stock so delivered in respect of Hortonworks Performance Stock Units shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and treated in accordance with Section 1.4(b) .
(iv)      Registration Statements for Assumed Options and Other Awards . As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, but in no event later than two (2) business days following the Effective Time, Cloudera shall file a registration statement under the Securities Act on Form S-8, Form S-3 or another appropriate form (and use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness thereof and maintain the current status of the prospectuses contained therein) relating to shares of Cloudera Common Stock issuable with respect to the Assumed Options and Assumed Units, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to remain in effect for so long as such Assumed Options or Assumed Units remain outstanding.

1.5      Further Action .  If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes or intent of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Hortonworks and Merger Sub, the directors and officers of Hortonworks and Merger Sub shall have the authority to take all such lawful and necessary action.
1.6      Tax Reorganization . The parties hereto intend, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that this Agreement is hereby adopted as a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g).
ARTICLE II
THE CLOSING
2.1      The Closing . The consummation of the Merger shall take place at a closing (the “ Closing ”) to occur at the offices of Fenwick & West LLP, 801 California Street, Mountain View, California, 94041, (i) on a date and at a time to be agreed upon by Cloudera and Hortonworks, which date shall be no later than the second (2nd) business day after the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted hereunder) of the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Section 2.2 (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied or waived (if permitted hereunder) at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted hereunder) of such conditions); provided that if such business day would otherwise occur anytime during the final 10 days of any Cloudera fiscal quarter, Cloudera may, in its discretion, elect (by providing written notice no later than two (2) business days prior to the date on which the Closing would have otherwise occurred) to delay the Closing until the first business day of its next succeeding fiscal quarter (and  provided , further , that (i) such election shall be irrevocable upon delivery and effective as of 12:01 A.M., Pacific Time on the date on which the Closing would have otherwise occurred, and (ii) upon effectiveness thereof, each of the conditions to the obligations of Cloudera and Merger Sub set forth in Section 2.2 (other than the conditions set forth in Section 2.2(a)(i) , Section 2.2(a)(ii) , Section 2.2(a)(vii) , Section 2.2(b)(iv) and, solely with respect to a Willful Breach of any covenant contained herein by Hortonworks occurring after the date of such election, Section 2.2(b)(i) ), shall be deemed to have been irrevocably fulfilled in all respects and Cloudera shall have irrevocably waived its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article IX (other than pursuant to Section 9.1(a) , Section 9.1(b) , and Section 9.1(c) and, solely with respect to a Willful Breach of any covenant contained herein by Hortonworks occurring after the date of such election, Section 9.1(e) ), or (ii) at such other location, date and time as Cloudera and Hortonworks shall mutually agree upon in writing.

Cloudera and Hortonworks Announce Merger to Create World’s Leading Next Generation
Data Platform and Deliver Industry’s First Enterprise Data Cloud

Establishes a superior unified platform and clear industry standard from the Edge to AI

Strategic combination accelerates market development, fuels innovation and produces substantial benefit for customers, partners and community

PALO ALTO, Calif. and SANTA CLARA, Calif., October 3, 2018 —  Cloudera, Inc. (NYSE: CLDR) and Hortonworks, Inc. (Nasdaq: HDP) jointly announced today that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which the companies will combine in an all-stock merger of equals. The transaction, which has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies, will create the world’s leading next generation data platform provider, spanning multi-cloud, on-premises and the Edge. The combination establishes the industry standard for hybrid cloud data management, accelerating customer adoption, community development and partner engagement.

Tom Reilly, chief executive officer at Cloudera, stated, “Our businesses are highly complementary and strategic. By bringing together Hortonworks’ investments in end-to-end data management with Cloudera’s investments in data warehousing and machine learning, we will deliver the industry’s first enterprise data cloud from the Edge to AI. This vision will enable our companies to advance our shared commitment to customer success in their pursuit of digital transformation.”

“This compelling merger will create value for our respective stockholders and allow customers, partners, employees and the open source community to benefit from the enhanced offerings, larger scale and improved cost competitiveness inherent in this combination,” said Rob Bearden, chief executive officer of Hortonworks. “Together, we are well positioned to continue growing and competing in the streaming and IoT, data management, data warehousing, machine learning/AI and hybrid cloud markets. Importantly, we will be able to offer a broader set of offerings that will enable our customers to capitalize on the value of their data.”

Under the terms of the transaction agreement, Cloudera stockholders will own approximately 60% of the equity of the combined company and Hortonworks stockholders will own approximately 40%. Hortonworks stockholders will receive 1.305 common shares of Cloudera for each share of Hortonworks stock owned, which is based on the 10-day average exchange ratio of the two companies’ prices though October 1, 2018. The companies have a combined fully-diluted equity value of $5.2 billion based on closing prices on October 2, 2018.

CLOUDERA AND HORTONWORKS From the Edge to AI October 3, 2018


 
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT Statements in this presentation that are not historical in nature are forward-looking statements that, within the meaning of the federal securities laws including the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Words such as "may", "will", "expect", "intend", "plan", "believe", "seek", "could", "estimate", "judgment", "targeting", "should", "anticipate", "goal" and variations of these words and similar expressions, are also intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this presentation address a variety of subjects, including our belief that the enterprise machine learning and analytics market will quickly emerge and that we will continue to lead its direction through technology and product innovation, our expectation that we will continue our momentum in machine learning, analytics and the cloud, achieve synergies, and achieve our long term model. Readers are cautioned that actual results could differ materially from those implied by such forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including global economic conditions, competitive pressures and pricing declines, intellectual property infringement claims, and other risks or uncertainties that are described under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on September 6, 2018, and in our other SEC filings. Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurances that our expectations will be attained. Except to the extent required by applicable law, Cloudera and Hortonworks are under no obligation (and expressly disclaim any such obligation) to update or revise their forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. We report all financial information required in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the results of our operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our core business, operating results or future outlook. Management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our operating results, as well as when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. We use these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with traditional GAAP measures to communicate with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons of our performance to prior periods. Please see the slides entitled GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation at the end of this presentation for a reconciliation of each of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Exhibit 99.3


Employee FAQ

Q: What does this announcement mean, and what are the next steps?

A: We announced today that we have signed an agreement with Hortonworks, under which Cloudera and Hortonworks will join together into a single company branded as Cloudera, Inc. We anticipate that the closing of our deal will take place in the first quarter of calendar 2019. In the meantime, it’s business as usual at both companies. Until the deal is officially closed, we will continue to operate independently. There are very important legal reasons for our continued operational separateness that will be explained in this FAQ and in other materials shared with employees.

Q: Why are we merging?

A: We agreed to combine with Hortonworks because we can create a stronger company together, and move faster toward our product and innovation goals.

By concentrating on a single shared platform, we’ll move faster and deliver more, driving value for customers and both new and expansion revenue growth. We each have products and services not offered by the other, and large installed bases. By joining together, we can cross-sell and upsell those distinguished products to our shared customer base. In addition, financial investors value cash flow and revenues, and the combined company has a better profile than either of us does separately.

Please see the Press Release and presentation to investors issued today for more information on why we believe the combined company will be successful.

Q: What are the terms of the agreement?

Cloudera and Hortonworks have agreed to combine in a tax-free, stock-for-stock merger. At the closing, each share of Hortonworks stock will be exchanged for 1.305 shares of Cloudera stock. This exchange ratio will result in Cloudera and Hortonworks stockholders holding about 60% and 40% of the combined company at closing, respectively. This ratio was determined by using an average closing price over a defined period of days prior to our signing the agreement.

Q: What does “closing” of this deal entail and when will it happen?

A: Now that the merger agreement has been signed and the deal is announced, the companies will shift to preparing for closing and successfully integrating business operations. There are multiple regulatory filings that must be made, including antitrust filings and SEC filings, which can take multiple months. In addition, the stockholders of each company must meet and vote to






approve the deal. We anticipate that closing of our deal will take place in the first quarter of calendar 2019.

Q: What will be the name of the new company?

A: As mentioned above, we will retain the name Cloudera, Inc.

Q: Who will be on the leadership team of the combined company?

A: The 10 member board of directors will consist of five members from the current Cloudera board, four members from the current Hortonworks board, and one new member to be chosen at a future date. Tom Reilly will be the CEO, and will remain on the board. Jim Frankola will be the CFO. Hortonworks’s current COO will be the COO of the combined companies. We are committed to ensuring we have the best go-forward leadership team, leveraging top talent from each company. Leadership from both companies will be working in the coming weeks to identify the full leadership team, and additional changes will be announced as we complete the integration process.

Q: What does this mean for employees?

The merger is not yet closed, so there is no job responsibility difference for employees at this time. Leadership teams from both companies are developing a comprehensive integration plan for the merger that will be implemented after the closing, and employees from each company will be participating in this planning and execution process. We will be methodical and thoughtful about decisions relating to organizational changes as we build the combined company with the best people. But, as mentioned, these plans are still being formulated and our deal will not close for several months, so we are not announcing specific plans at this time. We ask for your patience while we develop our plans and communicate them at the appropriate time.

Q: Will this merger affect my benefits?

A: The merger will have no immediate effect on Cloudera employee benefits.

Q: How will my job be impacted?

A transition team is being created, including representatives from both Cloudera and Hortonworks, to ensure we go through a careful and thoughtful process for bringing our companies together. Until closing, it is business as usual and we do not anticipate making changes before we close.

As a combined company, we have the opportunity to leverage the incredible talent possessed by both of our companies. As with any merger there will be some duplication of roles, but we anticipate that the majority of employees will continue forward with the company. Our intent is






that everyone feels like a winner and we are strongly committed to providing visibility and clarity on decisions as soon as we can. Employees who are not able to continue with the company moving forward will be provided packages to assist with the transition and support their next steps.

Q: Before closing, can we collaborate with Hortonworks employees on customer accounts, selling activities, product alignment, etc.?

A: The short answer is “no.” Before closing, we will remain separate companies and we must continue to behave as separate companies. As one example, we cannot share pricing or other sensitive customer account information or any other competitively sensitive information. We cannot coordinate our sales activities or channels activities in any manner. We must continue to treat Hortonworks as we have in the past. It is very important that Cloudera employees not contact any Hortonworks employees (and vice versa) until the merger is completed. Violation of these rules could run afoul of the antitrust laws and put the transaction in jeopardy. There will be small groups, with legal oversight, who are specifically tasked to communicate and plan these items with Hortonworks.

During our pre-closing period, if you are approached by a Hortonworks employee seeking information or collaboration, please let Richie Day or Jay Wedge know.

Similarly, if a prospect or current customer asks for a joint-meeting between us and Hortonworks so we can collaborate or for other purposes, please let Richie Day or Jay Wedge know.

Q: What products will be sold by the merged companies and what products will be sunsetted?

Both companies have active sales cycles and customers already in production on our respective platforms. Those customers will continue to be supported on the products they are running or that they purchase pursuant to their contracts.

After the transaction closes, we will work to quickly merge the two platform lines into a single superior unified platform offering for the market. In many cases we share underlying open source components. In others, we have complementary offerings that do not overlap, and will include them both. In a few cases, we each have components whose function overlaps. We will use business and engineering judgment to select the one that serves as the long-term foundation in the product, and then make sure that it supports all the features that either company’s customers depend on. Our intent is to offer customers a superior unified platform, upgrading the consolidated product from either company.

This is the same way that we handled the combination with the Intel platform when they made their investment in our company.







Q: What about our other products?

Each of us has products that the other doesn’t offer. Hortonworks has invested in streaming data ingest and processing, well-suited to IoT workloads. Cloudera has Data Science Workbench and Workload Experience Manager, among others. We believe that these represent good cross-sell opportunities into each other’s installed bases, post-closing.

Q; What can we do together that we couldn’t have done separately?

Our development teams already coordinate on shared open source components, and duplicate the other’s work on testing, documentation and so on. The combination lets us concentrate those investments, increasing our resources available to work on other areas. Aligning on a single common offering in our converged product eliminates duplication and lets us combine the strengths of each to deliver more to our customers. Scale and a larger customer base creates more opportunities to sell our IoT, DW and ML capabilities, driving more revenue and permitting more investment at responsible margins.

Q: Can I trade in Cloudera stock during the pre-closing period?
 
A: Our Insider Trading Policy continues to apply, which means you can trade in Cloudera stock only if you are not subject to a quarterly or special blackout and you are not in possession of material, non-public information about Cloudera.

In addition, given the relationship between our companies, information about Hortonworks might be considered information about Cloudera and its securities as well. Thus, employees are also prohibited from trading in Cloudera securities while in possession of material nonpublic information about Hortonworks.

Q: Can I trade in Hortonworks stock during the pre-closing period?

A: Given the relationship between our companies, material non-public information about Cloudera might be considered information about Hortonworks as well. Thus, employees are prohibited from trading in Hortonworks securities if they know material non-public information about Hortonworks OR Cloudera.

Q: Will this merger affect my equity?

A: There will be no changes to any Cloudera equity you currently own. You will continue to be subject to our Insider Trading Policy – please see the question above.

Q: Can we talk about the transaction? What can we say between now and the close of the transaction to our customers, partners, friends, and family?







A: You can relay to them any publicly available information, such as information included in the press release announcing the merger. It is important, however, to not speculate to anybody outside the company (including via social media such as Facebook, Twitter, or blogs) about the anticipated timing of completion of the merger, what may happen once the merger is complete, or any other non-public information.

Posting about the company is only allowed pursuant to our social media policy. With respect to this deal, all posts must be pre-approved by our legal team or investor relations team. Please contact either Jay Wedge or Richie Day before making any posts about our merger.

If you are going to post about this merger on social media, the following text is pre-approved:

“Cloudera and Hortonworks agree to merge! Learn more here: [link to PR]”

Q: What should I do if somebody from the media or an investor contacts me?

A: You are not allowed to speak to the media or investors on behalf of the company about this deal or other Cloudera business matters. It is important that we communicate with one voice. Please forward any inquiries from the media or investors to Mick Hollison and Kevin Cook.

Q: What should I do now? What happens next?

A: Between now and when we close the merger, we are two separate companies and you should continue to focus on your job. It’s business as usual. We will be running a post-merger integration (PMI) process to bring the two companies together. You will hear more from this planning and integration team in both the planning phase (pre-merger) and post-merger.

Exhibit 99.4

SUBJECT: Cloudera and Hortonworks announcement


Do Not Forward Outside of Cloudera

Clouderans,
 
I am very excited to share that moments ago Cloudera and Hortonworks announced that we have entered into a definitive agreement to merge the companies in a stock-for-stock transaction. This strategic combination is designed to enhance shareholder value, and to benefit our customers, partners, the community and our employees. The combined company will possess the scale, resources and unique assets to capture more of the very large and fast growing data market opportunity. Together, we will form the leading hybrid cloud data platform from edge to AI.

We will discuss this announcement in more detail at tomorrow’s All Hands Meeting, already scheduled at 10am PT. We are also adding a second All Hands Meeting at 5pm . Please make every effort to attend this meeting since it will not be recorded .

We’ll answer as many of your questions as we can during the All Hands Meeting. You will learn much more about the proposed merger and the shared vision for the combined company and our industry. For now, you can find more information in the press release that was just issued. We’ve also prepared an employee FAQ to address initial questions you might have.
 
Please be aware that the merger is not yet closed, and we must be very careful about how we discuss the transaction during the pre-closing period . It’s critical that we speak with one Cloudera voice - here are some essential rules to follow in the coming months:

1)
Most importantly, you must not publicly speculate about the deal . Of course, you are allowed to talk to your friends and family about the transaction generally and express excitement about our future direction, but public dissemination of information by employees is not allowed. Refer to this resource on communicating about the merger for more details. If you want to announce the deal on social media , please refer people to our press release using only the following pre-approved message, or something very similar:

Cloudera and Hortonworks agree to merge! Learn more here [link to press release]!

2) In addition, between now and closing, Cloudera and Hortonworks must operate as separate companies . Antitrust regulators will be watching to make sure we do not behave as if our merger has closed. Unless you are on the special integration team, you must not contact any Hortonworks employees, and must not coordinate with them in any way. Engineers may continue to collaborate with Hortonworks engineers in the open





source community, following Apache governance rules and consistent with past practice. Review this Antitrust resource for more details.

3) Do not speak directly to the press or investors. Refer inquiries from potential investors or members of the financial community to Kevin Cook. Refer questions from reporters and inquiries about acceptable marketing activities to Mick Hollison.
I want to say thanks to all Clouderans for the hard work that has led to this day. I believe deeply that this is a fantastic development for Cloudera, and puts us on the right footing for another ten years of market leadership.

The opportunity for a real hybrid offering -- the enterprise data cloud, from the edge to AI -- is enormous. The emergence of public cloud offerings has taught us all how IT needs to behave. Uniquely, the combination of Cloudera and Hortonworks can bring the benefits of cloud to every single user, no matter where their code and data live. The industry absolutely needs a comprehensive platform for IoT, data warehousing and machine learning. No one else is in a position to deliver it identically at home and away.

I know that we will all be processing this news today and in the days and weeks ahead. But let’s keep moving ahead, continuing to do the incredible work that’s always been our focus.

I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow to share more about this exciting step on Cloudera’s journey.

Tom

Subject Line: Cloudera and Hortonworks Announce Merger


Team,
 
I have some exciting news to share. Today we are embarking on the next chapter of our evolution by announcing that we have agreed to combine with Cloudera in a merger of equals. A copy of the press release we issued this morning is attached.

We will be hosting an employee all hands meeting tomorrow, October 4 at 8:30 AM PT to discuss the proposed transaction. Look for a calendar invitation with details. Additionally, some of your immediate questions may be addressed in the Employee FAQ on the Wiki.

This is a transformational event that will fuel innovation and produce substantial benefits for our customers, partners, employees and the community. Many of you are already familiar with Cloudera. By joining Cloudera’s investments in data warehousing and machine learning with Hortonworks’ investments in end-to-end data management, we are establishing a winning combination, which will create the industry’s first enterprise data cloud for enabling actionable insights from the Edge to AI.

Together, we will accelerate the development of key cloud capabilities and create a superior unified platform for big data in the enterprise. Not only will we be better equipped to capitalize on market opportunities, but we will also redefine the future of data as we extend our leadership and expand our offerings.
 
Thanks to your hard work, we have transformed Hortonworks from a leading Hadoop provider to a premier global data management platform company. We were the first open source software company to IPO in 10 years. We were the fastest enterprise software company to reach $100 million in revenue. We have defined the next generation data architecture to address a very large, complex and fast growing market. We’ve made strategic acquisitions such as Onyara in 2015 to expand our capabilities to the Edge. The results of our transformation are evident: each year since our IPO in 2014, we have continually improved upon our own performance and in Q4 of 2017, we reached a critical financial milestone by becoming operating cash flow positive. With these achievements in mind, we are confident that the combination of Cloudera and Hortonworks positions us for success as we continue to enable the modern data architecture.
 
Over the years, Cloudera has developed a great respect for our highly talented workforce and shares our values of transparency, collaboration and execution. Most importantly, both of our organizations are culturally grounded in innovation and have a deep commitment to customer success. We are confident that the employees of the combined company will thrive as the organization invests in its people and improves career opportunities and skill sets.



 
Given the momentous impact of this news, I want to emphasize that a great deal of careful deliberation went into this decision. As a next step, we are establishing an integration team with Cloudera to ensure a detailed and thoughtful plan is developed and implemented.
 
We currently expect to close the transaction during the first quarter of calendar year 2019, following stockholder approval, U.S. regulatory clearance and other customary closing conditions. The SEC has very strict rules about “soliciting” votes. Any communications about the deal can be viewed as a solicitation, so all communications (tweets, re-tweets of articles, blogs, and Facebook posts) must be reviewed by legal . Until the merger closes, Hortonworks and Cloudera will continue to operate as separate companies. Do not reach out to Cloudera’s employees or coordinate any business efforts with them. It is important to remember that until the transaction closes, it is business as usual. Please continue to stay focused on what really matters: making our customers successful.
 
As always, it’s important that we speak with one voice. Please refer any media inquiries regarding today’s announcement to Michelle Lazzar and any investor inquiries to Reuben Gallegos.
 
On behalf of our Board of Directors and leadership team, I extend my deepest gratitude for your continued dedication to Hortonworks. Each of you has played a critical role in establishing Hortonworks as an industry leader. You should all be proud of what we have accomplished, and I hope you share my excitement about the future of Hortonworks and the tremendous opportunities ahead.

-      Rob

Exhibit 99.6

We’ve just announced that Cloudera and Hortonworks have agreed to merge to form a single company. I want to explain the thinking behind the deal and the combination. Rob Bearden from Hortonworks has written up a post sharing his thoughts, as well.

First, remember the history of Apache Hadoop.

Google built an innovative scale-out platform for data storage and analysis in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and published research papers about their work. Doug Cutting and Mike Cafarella were working together on a personal project, a web crawler, and read the Google papers. The two of them started the Hadoop project to build an open-source implementation of Google’s system.

Yahoo quickly recognized the promise of the project. It staffed up a team to drive Hadoop forward, and hired Doug. That team delivered the first production cluster in 2006 and continued to improve it in the years that followed.

In 2008, I co-founded Cloudera with folks from Google, Facebook and Yahoo to deliver a big data platform built on Hadoop to the enterprise market. We believed then, and we still believe today, that the rest of the world would need to capture, store, manage and analyze data at massive scale. We were the first company to commercialize the software, building on the work done at Yahoo and other consumer internet companies.

Three years later, the core team of developers working inside Yahoo on Hadoop spun out to found Hortonworks. They, too, saw the enormous potential for data at scale in the enterprise. They had proven their ability to build and deliver the technology at Yahoo.

Since 2011, our two companies have each innovated to build better products and win more business. In the competitive world of data management, we can each look with respect at the success of the other. I’m proud of what we’ve done at Cloudera, and I’m impressed at what the team has accomplished at Hortonworks.

Open source software has made the competitive dynamic more interesting than it is for most companies. While we’ve each worked hard to create differentiation, we share an enormous amount of code in our products. Our development teams have collaborated on the original Hadoop software, and on newer entrants to the ecosystem like Apache Hive, Apache Spark and more -- a large and growing collection of projects aimed at massive data storage and analysis.

In the years since Cloudera and Hortonworks started, the competitive landscape has changed tremendously. Today, the market includes a growing collection of companies who recognize what we both knew early -- big data is a big deal. In the data center and in the cloud, there’s a proliferation of players, often building on technology we’ve created or contributed to, battling for share.





The opportunity has only grown with the advent of practical Internet of Things applications. The tremendous growth in both unstructured and structured data overwhelms traditional data warehouses. Machine learning brings new challenges, but also transformative power, to our customers. We have each innovated separately in those areas. We are both convinced that a scale-out, shared-nothing architecture -- the foundation of Hadoop -- is essential for IoT, data warehousing and ML. We both plan to help enterprises embrace those capabilities.

Besides that, our enterprise customers want us to deliver projects like Apache Nifi, Apache Spark and Apache Impala in the data center and in the public cloud. Efforts like the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, and the embrace of containerization and orchestration in the Hadoop ecosystem, making the platform easier to use and simpler to operate, behind the firewall and in the cloud.

That’s a future we can pursue better together. We remain committed to open source. Within our increasingly competitive space, we can innovate more effectively together than we can alone, , collaborating in every way to deliver cloud-native products in the data center and in the public cloud, can continue to lead the market and innovate in the way we each have done independently for so long.

I couldn’t be more pleased about bringing these two companies together. Here’s what you can expect in the months to come.

We’re announcing the combination today, but we don’t expect the deal to close for several months. We’ll undergo the normal regulatory review that any merger of scale involving public companies gets, and the shareholders from both companies will have to meet and approve the deal.

Between now and the close date, we remain independent companies. Our customers are running our respective products. Our sales teams are working separate from each other with current and new customers to win more business and to make those customers successful. We’ll both continue to do that.

Customers who are running CDH, HDP and HDF are getting a new promise. Those product lines will each be supported and maintained for at least three years from the date our merger closes. Any customer who chooses either can be sure of a long-term future for the platform selected.

Our partners should find that the combination helps them, too. We each have large partner communities. Our partners will benefit from a single standard to build on, and a larger company with more customers to work with.

We have each recently made major new platform releases. Hortonworks version 3 and Cloudera version 6 both shipped this past summer. That turns out to be a fortunate coincidence.




We’ve both rebased our latest products on the current open source project releases, meaning our development lines are closer than they’ve been in some time. We expect to move quickly to combine the two into a single “unity” release at some point after we close the transaction.

Over the long term, we’ll enhance that single coherent platform to include all the features we each had developed separately, so that customers can safely upgrade from their current Hortonworks or Cloudera installations to the new product. Given our maintenance promise, those customers will be able to make that decision when it makes business sense. Their current workloads are safe.

In the meantime, each of us also has unique product offerings. Hortonworks offers its Hortonworks DataFlow, or HDF, product for streaming and IoT workloads. Cloudera offers the Cloudera Data Science Workbench (CDSW) and Workload Experience Manager (Workload XM). We’ll work quickly to cross-port those products so they work with both our respective platforms, so that current customers of either company have access to all the innovative products of both.

Both companies started because we believed deeply in the power of data. Since the very earliest days of Hadoop, we’ve worked -- separately, as companies, and together, in the open source community -- to prove that belief correct.

Together, we’ll accelerate innovation for our customers and the community. Working as one, we’ll extend the broad Hadoop ecosystem with containerization and orchestration, making it more elastic and more self-service. We are uniquely positioned to deliver the first enterprise data cloud, from the edge to AI.

Forward!

Joining Forces with Cloudera: Creating the World’s Leading Next Generation Data Platform


By Rob Bearden
 
Today we made a very exciting announcement about the future of Hortonworks – we announced that we have agreed to combine with Cloudera in a merger of equals. Together, Hortonworks and Cloudera will create the industry’s first enterprise data cloud for enabling actionable insights from the Edge to AI. This exciting combination will expand our customer reach and opportunity, as we accelerate innovation for IoT, streaming, hybrid cloud, data management, data warehousing and machine learning/AI.
 
We are witnessing the biggest business model transformation since the Industrial Revolution. The modern data architecture grows more complex and demanding each day as the volume of data continues to explode. Since our founding in 2011, Hortonworks has worked tirelessly to enable the modern data architecture, of which hybrid (multi-cloud, on-premises and at the Edge) is a key feature. We were the first in our industry to introduce a service that connects data platforms on multiple tiers, and on a global scale. We have taken Hortonworks from a leading Hadoop provider to one of the industry’s premier global data management platform companies, and we have defined the next generation data architecture to address a very large, complex and fast growing market.
 
Now is the time for us to accelerate our growth and Cloudera is the right organization to join us as we embark on the next chapter of our evolution.
 
Cloudera has a like-minded approach to next generation data management and analytics solutions for hybrid deployments. Like Hortonworks, Cloudera believes data can drive high velocity business model transformations, and has innovated in ways that benefit the market and create new revenue opportunities. We are confident that our combined company will be ideally positioned to redefine the future of data as we extend our leadership and expand our offerings.
 
This transformational event will create benefits and growth opportunities for our stakeholders. Together with Cloudera, we will accelerate market development, fuel innovation and produce substantial benefits for our customers, partners, employees and the community.
 
By merging Cloudera’s investments in data warehousing and machine learning with Hortonworks’ investments in end-to-end data management, we are generating a winning combination, which will establish the standard for hybrid cloud data management.
 



Unleashing the Enterprise Data Cloud

A platform is only as good as its community – and we are expanding and enhancing both. Since our founding, we have known that nothing beats community-based open source innovation. We will offer a superior unified platform built on open source standards that is simpler for partners to integrate and connect to, and together, we’ll serve more than 800 customers with over $100,000 in ARR, through enhanced partnerships with public cloud vendors and systems integrators.

As we identified with the Open Hybrid Architecture Initiative, containers will play a more significant role in enabling cloud-like architectures that customers can run anywhere with decoupled compute and storage. In simple terms, our customers will experience the cloud inside their own data centers just like they do in the public cloud. Powering a public cloud experience everywhere is key to widespread adoption. The first enterprise data cloud fulfills this cloud everywhere vision and provides the ease of use and elasticity of the public cloud from the data center, to the Edge and everywhere in between.
 
In short, we will be able to deliver a superior unified platform and clear industry standard based on open source. We will empower data-driven innovation for the benefit of the open source community.
 
Sharing Similar Cultures Grounded in Innovation and Integrity
 
Both of our organizations believe that the best way to improve the community is through an approach that is flexible, unified and open. Our companies are each grounded in innovation and integrity and share a commitment to customer success.
 
Over the years, Cloudera has developed a great respect and admiration for our highly talented workforce. We are excited that the employees of the combined company will thrive as the organization invests in its people and enhances career opportunities and skill sets.
 
Looking Ahead
 
We currently expect to close the transaction during the first quarter of calendar year 2019, following stockholder approval, U.S. regulatory clearance and other customary closing conditions. In the meantime, Hortonworks and Cloudera will continue to operate as separate companies as we begin planning to capitalize on the best practices from both companies to strengthen our growth prospects and better serve our customers.
 
I hope you share my excitement about the future of data, the future for Hortonworks and the tremendous opportunities ahead. Thank you for your continued support.
