Sponsored by Businesswire

RealPage,
Inc.
(NASDAQ:RP),
a leading global provider of software and data analytics to the real
estate industry, today announced that it has agreed to acquire
substantially all of the assets of CRE Global Enterprises, LLC, a
holding company for Hipercept. Hipercept provides data services and data
analytic solutions to institutional real estate owners with over $500
billion in assets under management operating in the US, Asia, Canada and
Europe, addressing the incredibly complex problem of aggregating,
reporting and benchmarking real estate across multiple asset classes,
property management platforms and external data sources. Clients include
major banks, pension funds, insurance companies and asset management
firms. Hipercept supports these clients with offices in New York,
Boston, Medellín and London.

In addition, Hipercept offers both a cloud-based commercial and
multifamily real estate valuation cash flow forecasting product called
FUEL (www.fuelcre.com),
and an extensive data warehouse, data governance and analytics platform
called Foundation. Upon completion of the acquisition, which is expected
within approximately 30 days, RealPage plans to begin marketing a
combined Asset & Investment Management (AIM) platform that integrates
its existing Portfolio Asset Management (PAM) and Portfolio Investment
Management (PIM) products with Foundation and FUEL.

Following the acquisition, RealPage will be able to offer its existing
commercial and multifamily clients a fully integrated valuation
capability with FUEL, supplementing and significantly expanding the
Underwriting Analytics product RealPage released last year. The
combination is expected to create the industry’s only fully integrated
platform that aggregates and manages data across the entire investment
lifecycle for real estate and alternative investments.

Steve Winn, Chairman and CEO of RealPage:

“With the addition of this acquisition to RealPage’s previously
developed capabilities, RealPage will offer an integrated platform to
serve the end-to-end needs of an institutional real estate and
alternative asset owner. No longer will customers need to cobble
together applications and services to run their business. RealPage can
offer a complete solution, supported by managed services, to run their
entire operational process.”

Damien Georges, Founder, Hipercept:

“We are excited to join RealPage and to be able to provide the product
platform and managed services offering that we believe an institutional
owner needs to power their front and middle office. We have worked to
develop products and managed services that are entirely complementary to
RealPage’s existing solution offering. We are retaining all of our staff
and all Hipercept offices will remain open, so we can continue to
provide the same excellent level of service our clients are accustomed
to.”

Alan James, SVP Asset Investment Management:

“We will be ready to go to market with a fully integrated Asset &
Investment Management (AIM) solution at the time we complete this
transaction, allowing us to offer a full range of investment management
lifecycle products. We plan to couple the portfolio modeling
capabilities of PIM with the asset cash flow forecasting and valuation
functionality of FUEL, while combining the robust reporting analytics
engine of PAM with the Foundation data warehouse. Additionally, we will
be able to offer managed services including partner management,
valuation process management and ongoing integration management. I am
also truly excited that this transaction will enable us to continue our
international expansion, especially into the European market.”
