This Amendment No. 7 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 18, 2014 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, including Amendment No. 1 filed on May 1, 2014, Amendment No. 2 filed on May 7, 2014, Amendment No. 3 filed on May 9, 2014, Amendment No. 4 filed on May 16, 2014, Amendment No. 5 filed on May 21, 2014, Amendment No. 6 filed on May 22, 2014, and this Amendment, the “Schedule TO”), which relates to the offer by GTCR Valor Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of GTCR Valor Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and the associated rights to purchase shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value, of Vocus, Inc., a Delaware corporation, at a purchase price of $18.00 per Share, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated April 18, 2014 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal for Shares and Letter of Transmittal for Employee Restricted Shares, copies of which are filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A), (a)(1)(B) and (a)(1)(C) respectively. 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:

The Offer and withdrawal rights expired at 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on Friday, May 30, 2014. The Depositary advised us that as of the expiration of the Offer, approximately 18,820,894 Shares were validly tendered into, and not properly withdrawn from, the Offer (excluding 593,808 Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that had not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee), representing approximately 87% of the outstanding Shares. All Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn have been accepted for purchase and (except for Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that had not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee) paid for by the Purchaser. Immediately following such acceptance, the Purchaser completed the Series A Purchase. Following the Series A Purchase, the Purchaser also exercised its Top-Up Option, pursuant to which Vocus issued additional shares of Common Stock to the Purchaser in an amount sufficient to cause Parent and the Purchaser to own more than 90% of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding, taking into account those shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of the Top-Up Option.

As a result of the purchase of Shares in the Offer, the completion of the Series A Purchase and the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Top-Up Option, the Purchaser had ownership sufficient to effect the Merger under DGCL Section 253 without a vote of stockholders of Vocus. Accordingly, the Purchaser has effected a Short-Form Merger in which the Purchaser merged with and into Vocus, with Vocus surviving the Merger and continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. In the Merger, each Share not previously purchased in the Offer, otherwise held by Parent or the Purchaser, or held in the treasury of Vocus, was converted, subject to appraisal rights, into the right to receive a price per Share equal to the Offer Price. The Shares ceased to trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market as of the close of trading on May 30, 2014, and Vocus has requested that the NASDAQ Global Select Market file a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act on Form 25 to delist and deregister the Common Stock and associated Rights.

On May 30, 2014, Parent, the Purchaser and Vocus issued a press release announcing the expiration of the Offer, the results of the Offer and the completion of the Merger. The full text of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(E) and is incorporated herein by reference.

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

(a)(5)(E) Press Release issued by Parent, the Purchaser and Vocus on May 30, 2014.
