Dear Model N, Inc. Stockholder:

You are cordially invited to attend a special meeting of stockholders (which, together with any adjournments or postponements thereof, we refer to as the "Company Stockholders' Meeting") of Model N, Inc., a Delaware corporation (which we refer to as "Model N," "we," "us" or "our") to be held virtually via live webcast on June 25, 2024, at 11:30 a.m., Pacific Time (unless the Company Stockholders' Meeting is adjourned or postponed).

You may attend the Company Stockholders' Meeting virtually via the Internet at web.lumiconnect.com/ 291527551 (password: Modn2024). Please note that you will not be able to attend the Company Stockholders' Meeting physically in person. For purposes of attendance at the Company Stockholders' Meeting, all references in the enclosed proxy statement to "attendance at the Company Stockholders' Meeting" or "present at the Company Stockholders' Meeting" mean virtually present at the Company Stockholders' Meeting. Formal notice of the Company Stockholders' Meeting, a proxy statement, and a proxy card accompany this letter.

At the Company Stockholders' Meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote on a proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger (which we refer to, as it may be amended from time to time, as the "Merger Agreement"), dated April 7, 2024, by and among Model N, Mountain Parent, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (which we refer to as "Parent"), and Mountain Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (which we refer to as "Merger Sub") (we refer to such proposal as the "Merger Proposal"). Parent and Merger Sub are each affiliates of Vista Equity Partners Management, LLC ("Vista"), a leading private equity firm focused on investments in software, data and technology-enabled companies. At the Company Stockholders' Meeting, you will also be asked to consider and vote on a proposal to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation that may be paid or become payable to our named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the Merger (we refer to such proposal as the "Compensation Proposal").

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Model N (which we refer to as the "Merger," which, together with each of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, we refer to as the "Transactions"), whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, with Model N surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (which we refer to as the "DGCL"). If you are a Model N stockholder and the Merger is completed, each share of Model N common stock, par value $0.00015 per share (which we refer to as the "common stock"), that you own as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $30.00 in cash (which we refer to as the "Merger Consideration"), without interest (unless you have properly demanded, and not subsequently withdrawn, failed to perfect or otherwise lost, your appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL).

i

Model N's board of directors (the "Board of Directors"), after careful consideration, including considering the factors more fully described in the enclosed proxy statement, has unanimously

  1. determined that the Merger Agreement and the Transactions are fair to, advisable and in the best interests of Model N and its stockholders; (2) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Merger; (3) directed that the Merger Agreement be submitted to Model N's stockholders for their adoption; and (4) subject to the provisions of the Merger Agreement, resolved to recommend the adoption of the Merger Agreement by Model N's stockholders.
