This Amendment is being filed on behalf of Parent and the Purchaser. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Schedule TO and the Offer to Purchase.

Amendment to the Schedule TO

Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

In connection with the Complaint, following a hearing on May 15, 2014 in the Delaware Court of Chancery, Vice Chancellor Laster issued an order denying the plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary injunction to enjoin the acquisition of Vocus by Parent and the Purchaser.

On May 15, 2014, after review by the DOJ, the FTC granted early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act applicable to the purchase of Shares in the Offer. As a result of the early termination, the HSR Condition to the Offer has been satisfied.

The Offer remains subject to the remaining conditions to the Offer set forth in Section 14—“Conditions of the Offer” of the Offer to Purchase including the Financing Proceeds Condition and the condition to the Offer relating to the marketing period. The full text of the press release announcing the satisfaction of the HSR Condition is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(B) and is incorporated herein by reference.

On May 16, 2014, Parent and the Purchaser extended the expiration of the Offer until 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on Wednesday, May 21, 2014, unless and until the expiration of the Offer is further extended in accordance with the Merger Agreement and applicable law. The Offer was previously scheduled to expire at 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on May 16, 2014. The Depositary has advised that, as of the close of business on May 15, 2014, a total of approximately 17,961,740 Shares, or approximately 83% of the outstanding Shares, had been validly tendered into, and not properly withdrawn from, the Offer, including 934,156 Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee.

Item 12 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following exhibits thereto:

(a)(5)(B) Press Release issued by Parent and the Purchaser on May 16, 2014.

Amendments to the Offer to Purchase and the Other Exhibits to Schedule TO

The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

All references to “9:30 a.m., New York City time, on Friday, May 16, 2014” set forth in the Offer to Purchase (Exhibit (a)(1)(A)), Letter of Transmittal For Shares (Exhibit (a)(1)(B)), Letter of Transmittal for Employee Restricted Shares (Exhibit (a)(1)(C)), Letter to Brokers, Dealers, Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees (Exhibit (a)(1)(E)), and Letter to Clients for Use by Brokers, Dealers, Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees (Exhibit (a)(1)(F)) are hereby amended and replaced with “9:30 a.m., New York City time, on Wednesday, May 21, 2014.”
