Summary

This filing is an amendment (Amendment No. 1) to a prior Form 8-K, primarily to provide the financial statements and related information for ExactTarget, Inc. following Salesforce's acquisition of the company. Investors should focus on the financial health and performance of ExactTarget as presented in the unaudited and audited statements, as this acquisition will integrate ExactTarget's operations into Salesforce's overall business. The filing also includes pro forma combined financial information, offering a glimpse into how the combined entity would have performed based on historical data, which is crucial for understanding the potential synergies and financial impact of the merger. The inclusion of ExactTarget's standalone financial statements (unaudited as of June 30, 2013, and for periods ending in 2012/2013, as well as audited for fiscal years 2011-2012) allows for a detailed assessment of the acquired company's financial position and performance prior to the integration. The pro forma statements are particularly important as they provide a hypothetical view of the combined entity's financial results, enabling investors to better model future performance and evaluate the strategic rationale behind the acquisition.
