Our Company
Overview
We are a global leader in software solutions enabling customers to plan, develop, manage and secure applications and enterprise environments
across distributed, cloud, mobile and mainframe platforms. In every industry, we see customers transforming their businesses to better manage
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/356028/000119312517085566/d292861d424b5.htm[3/17/2017 9:33:43 AM]


Final Prospectus Supplement
the market demands for speed, exceptional customer experience and rich analytics. Their journey, which is broadly referred to as digital
transformation, is fueled by software. The proliferation of mobile devices and the expectation of seamless connectivity has driven users to
demand highly secure, frictionless user experiences via software applications (often referred to as "applications" or "apps"). We refer to this
market shift as the "Application Economy" and it is profoundly changing the way businesses provide services to customers and build software.
Around the world, these complementary trends are placing software at the heart of every business, driving companies in every industry vertical
to invest in the creation of in-house software development teams to build out new business models, enhance their digital presence and support
their on-going relationships with customers.
We have a broad portfolio of software solutions that we use to execute our business strategy, including enabling our customers to gain a
competitive advantage in the Application Economy. We organize our offerings into our Enterprise Solutions, Mainframe Solutions and
Services operating segments.

· Our Enterprise Solutions segment includes products that are designed for distributed and cloud computing environments and run on
industry standard servers. Within Enterprise Solutions, our areas of focus include Agile Management, which enables customers to
more effectively plan and manage the software development process and the business of IT service delivery, DevOps, which is

adjacent to Agile Management and comprises a range of solutions that allow customers to efficiently deliver and manage
applications and IT infrastructure, and Security, which consists of a comprehensive set of solutions to address the growing concern
across all enterprises and organizations regarding external and internal threats to their environments and the critical data they
contain.

· Our Mainframe Solutions segment products help customers and partners lower cost per transaction, while increasing business

agility, security and compliance. They are designed for the IBM System z mainframe platform, which runs many of our largest
customers' mission critical applications.

· Our Services segment helps customers reach their IT and business goals primarily by enabling the rapid implementation and

adoption of our Mainframe and Enterprise solutions and includes services such as product implementation, consulting, customer
education and customer training.
Recent Developments
On January 18, 2017, we acquired Automic Holding GmbH ("Automic"), a provider of business automation software that automates IT and
business processes. With Automic, we have added new cloud-enabled automation and orchestration capabilities across our portfolio and
increased our ability to reach into the European market. We acquired all of the equity interests in Automic for approximately 600 million
euros, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired (which translated to approximately $643 million at January 18, 2017). We funded the

acquisition from our available international cash on hand. Certain data necessary to complete the preliminary purchase price allocation is not
yet available, including, but not limited to, the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and review of tax returns that provide the
underlying tax basis of Automic's assets and liabilities. Accordingly, such disclosures related to this business combination were not included
in the financial statements incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus. The results of operations of Automic will be reported
predominately in our Enterprise Solutions segment and will be included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.
On March 6, 2017, we announced that we signed a definitive agreement to acquire all of the equity interests in Veracode, Inc. ("Veracode")
for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $614 million, subject to certain adjustments as described more fully in the definitive
agreement (such acquisition, the "Veracode Acquisition"). Veracode is a leader in securing web, mobile and third-party applications across the
software development life cycle. The Veracode Acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2018, and is subject to
customary closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals. We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering of
approximately $842 million for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, the funding of some or all of the
Veracode Acquisition. See "Use of Proceeds" in this prospectus supplement.

or subordinated indebtedness;

· be effectively subordinated in right of payment to any future secured indebtedness

to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and


· be structurally subordinated to any indebtedness of our subsidiaries.

As of December 31, 2016, we had approximately $1.950 billion of unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness. On an as-adjusted basis after giving effect to this offering

and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, as more fully described in
"Capitalization" in this prospectus supplement, as of December 31, 2016:

· we would have had approximately $2.8 billion of unsecured and unsubordinated

indebtedness (including the notes), all of which would constitute senior
indebtedness;

· we would not have had any secured indebtedness to which the notes would have

been effectively subordinated; and

· our subsidiaries would not have any indebtedness to which the notes would have

been structurally subordinated.

Covenants
We will issue the notes under an indenture with U.S. Bank National Association, as
trustee. The indenture will, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our
restricted subsidiaries to:


· incur liens;


· engage in sale/leaseback transactions; and

· consolidate or merge with or into, or sell substantially all of our assets to, another

person.

These covenants will be subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

See "Description of Senior Debt Securities" in the accompanying prospectus.

Absence of Public Markets for the Notes
The notes are new issues of securities and there are currently no established trading
markets for them. We do not intend to apply for a listing of the notes on any securities
exchange or an automated dealer quotation system. Accordingly, we cannot assure you
as to the development or liquidity of any markets for the notes. The underwriters have
advised us that they currently intend to make a market in the notes of each series.
However, they are not obligated to do so and any market making with respect to the
notes may be discontinued without notice. See "Risk Factors--Risks Relating to the
Notes--Your ability to transfer the notes may be limited by the absence of active
trading markets, and we cannot assure you that active trading markets will develop for
the notes" in this prospectus supplement.

business operations. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially
adversely affected.
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference, including our 2016 10-K Report and
our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 30, 2016, September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016 also contain forward-
looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking
statements as a result of a number of factors, including the risks described below and elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference.
Risks Relating to our Business
You should consider carefully the risk factors that are described in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of our 2016
10-K Report, which are incorporated by reference herein.
Risks Relating to the Notes
Our significant level of indebtedness could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, limit our ability to
react to changes in the economy or our industry and prevent us from meeting our obligations under the notes.
As of December 31, 2016, we had approximately $1.950 billion of unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. On an as-adjusted basis after
giving effect to this offering and the application of the net proceeds thereof, as more fully described in "Capitalization" in this prospectus
supplement, as of December 31, 2016, we would have had approximately $2.8 billion of total indebtedness (including the notes), all of which
would constitute senior indebtedness, consisting of unsecured fixed-rate senior note obligations. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Contractual Obligations and Commitments" in our 2016 10-K Report for the payment schedule of
our long-term debt obligations, inclusive of interest.
Our leverage could have important consequences for you, including the following:

· it may limit our ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing for working capital, capital expenditures, product development,

debt service requirements, share repurchases, acquisitions, or general corporate or other purposes;

· it may limit our ability to adjust to changing market conditions and place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors

that have less debt;

· a portion of our cash flows from operations will be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness and will not

be available for other purposes, including our operations, capital expenditures and future business opportunities;

· the debt service requirements of our other indebtedness could make it more difficult for us to satisfy our financial obligations, including

those related to the notes; and

· we may be vulnerable to a downturn in general economic conditions or in our business, or we may be unable to carry out capital

spending that is important to our growth.

We have a significant amount of debt and if we fail to generate sufficient cash to service our debt, including the notes, we may be forced to
take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.
As of December 31, 2016, we had approximately $1.950 billion of unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. On an as-adjusted basis after
giving effect to this offering and the application of the net proceeds thereof, as more fully described in "Capitalization" in this prospectus
supplement, as of December 31, 2016, we would have had approximately $2.8 billion of total indebtedness (including the notes), all of which
would constitute senior indebtedness, consisting of unsecured fixed-rate senior note obligations. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Contractual Obligations and Commitments" in our 2016 10-K Report for the payment schedule of
our long-term debt obligations, inclusive of interest. Our ability to make scheduled payments, refinance our debt obligations as they come due or
renew our credit lines depends on our financial and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and
to certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. We cannot assure you that we will maintain a level of cash flows from
operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness.
If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital

Final Prospectus Supplement
expenditures, sell assets or operations, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness, including the notes. We cannot assure
you that we would be able to take any of these actions, that these actions would be successful and permit us to meet our scheduled debt service
obligations or that these actions would be permitted under the terms of our existing or future debt agreements, including the indenture governing
the notes. In the absence of sufficient operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose
of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions or to obtain
the proceeds that we could realize from them and these proceeds may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due. See
"Description of Notes" in this prospectus supplement and "Description of Senior Debt Securities" in the accompanying prospectus.
If we cannot make scheduled payments on our debt, we will be in default and, as a result:


· our debt holders could declare all outstanding principal and interest to be due and payable;


· the lenders under our revolving credit facility could terminate their commitments to lend us money; and


· we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation, which could result in your losing part or all of your investment in the notes.
We and our subsidiaries may incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. If we incur any additional indebtedness that ranks equally with
the notes, the holders of that debt will be entitled to share ratably with you in any proceeds distributed in connection with any bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization involving us. This may have the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds paid to you. Additionally, our revolving
credit facility provides commitments of up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate (which may be increased at our option by an amount up to $500 million,
subject to certain conditions and the agreement of the lenders, and terminates in June 2019). At December 31, 2016, there were no borrowings
under our revolving credit facility. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we and our subsidiaries now face could
intensify.
The notes will be effectively subordinated in right of payment to any future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of assets securing
that indebtedness and are structurally subordinated to any indebtedness of our subsidiaries.
The notes will be unsecured and effectively subordinated in right of payment to any future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of assets
securing that indebtedness. As of December 31, 2016, we would not have had any secured indebtedness to which the notes would have been
effectively subordinated. Because the notes will be

Table of Contents
effectively subordinated to any future secured debt, in the event of our liquidation or insolvency or other events of default on our secured debt or
upon acceleration of the notes in accordance with their terms, we will be permitted to make payment on the notes only after any secured debt has
been paid in full. After paying any secured debt in full, we may not have sufficient assets remaining to pay any or all amounts due on the notes. In
the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization or upon acceleration of the notes, payment on the notes could be less, ratably, than on any
secured debt.
In addition, the notes are structurally subordinated to any indebtedness of our subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities
and have no obligation to pay any amounts due on any of our indebtedness, including the notes. None of our subsidiaries will guarantee the notes
or otherwise have any obligations to make payments in respect of the notes. As a result, claims of holders of the notes will be effectively
subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. In the event of any bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution or similar
proceeding involving one of our subsidiaries, any of our rights or the rights of the holders of the notes to participate in the assets of that subsidiary
will be effectively subordinated to the claims of creditors of that subsidiary, and following payment by that subsidiary of its liabilities, the
subsidiary may not have sufficient assets remaining to make payments to us as a shareholder or otherwise. As of December 31, 2016, after giving
effect to this offering and the application of the net proceeds thereof, as more fully described in "Use of Proceeds" and "Capitalization" in this
prospectus supplement, our subsidiaries would not have had
any indebtedness to which the notes would have been effectively subordinated.
Restrictive covenants may adversely affect our operations.
Our revolving credit facility, our term loan agreement, which provides for a $300 million term loan with a maturity date in April 2022, and the
indenture governing our outstanding senior debt securities, including the notes once issued, contain various covenants that limit our ability and the
ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things:


· incur liens;
