Results Show Six Straight Quarters of Growth in M&A Deal Volume, With a 68 Percent Increase From Q1 2009

NEW YORK, October 18, 2010 - The Q3 2010 IntraLinks Deal Flow Indicator(TM) (DFI) was released today
and reports a 38 percent increase in global M&A deal activity in Q3 2010
versus Q3 2009. In the last quarter, deal activity is up nine percent
compared to Q2 2010, a 68 percent increase from the Q1 2009 low.

The significant increase in M&A deal activity over the last 12 months has
been driven largely by growth in the emerging markets. Asia-Pacific has led
the momentum with a 54 percent increase in Q3 2010 compared to Q3 2009,
followed by South America (52 percent), North America (40 percent) and lastly
Europe/Middle East/Africa (28 percent). Globally, Q3 2010 average deal size
is up six percent from Q2 2010, with the largest increases seen in deals in
the emerging markets. Also, for the first three quarters of 2010, deal size
is up 13 percent globally from the same period in 2009.

"Our Deal Flow Indicator also tracks a positive shift from certain
industries. From Q3 2009, major deal increases have been experienced in the
Telecom and Consumer Products industries and specifically in the last quarter
there have been deal increases in the Energy and Life Sciences industries,"
said Matt Porzio, vice president of Product Marketing. "Overall there has
been tremendous growth in M&A deal activity and we will continue to monitor
momentum and track trends to share with the industry."

The overall positive trends are consistent with the following factors in
the marketplace:

    - General improvement and stability in the market
    - Impending tax environment changes and stockpiles of committed capital
      have provided the return of private equity buyers and sellers
    - Reduced strategic buyer fear of "double dip" recession resulting in
      more exploration of opportunities to supplement slow organic growth
      prospects and enter new markets

IntraLinks has been a leading global provider of M&A virtual data rooms
for more than 10 years. The IntraLinks Deal Flow Indicator is calculated
using the total volume of IntraLinks exchanges that were proposed for use by
deal teams initiating projects during the previous quarter. The totals are
then analyzed by global regions and compared to previous time periods. This
report is based on observations and subjective interpretations of M&A deal
activity and is not intended to be an indicator of IntraLinks' business
performance or operating results for any prior or future period.
