The exchange offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City Time, on Tuesday, May 1, 2018 and was not extended. As of the expiration of the exchange offer, a total of approximately 74,639,665 shares of Class A common stock of MuleSoft and 37,210,949 shares of Class B common stock of MuleSoft were validly tendered in the exchange offer and not validly withdrawn, representing approximately 83% of the aggregate voting power of the shares of MuleSoft common stock outstanding immediately after the consummation of the exchange offer. All shares that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn have been accepted by Salesforce for payment in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer.

Upon completion of the merger, MuleSoft became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Salesforce.
