Pursuant to Rule 14a-12

of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Subject Company: Diamond Management & Technology Consultants, Inc.

Commission File No.: 000-22125

The following communication is being sent from Marie Paro, Director, Internal Communications and Culture Programs, to former employees of Diamond Management & Technology Consultants, Inc. (“Diamond”) in connection with the proposed acquisition of Diamond by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

Dear Alumni,

We want to share with all of you that, as announced Tuesday morning, Diamond has entered into a merger agreement with PricewaterhouseCoopers* (see details in our press release  here ). Diamond will join PwC LLP, operating as a horizontal across their  service lines , and branded as Diamond Management & Technology Consultants, a PwC Company. We expect that the deal will close within the fourth quarter of this calendar year.

Many of you undoubtedly have already heard this news, and similar to our current employees, you may have mixed feelings. After all, while the increased opportunity, investment, and access for our firm and our people are exciting to consider, it can be hard to see change come to an admired firm that you have all had a hand in building. It is because of what our employees and alumni have achieved that Diamond became highly valued and is being asked to bring its expertise and high-impact/high-quality approach to PwC’s relatively new advisory practice. PwC is focused on bringing in and cultivating the best talent our industry has to offer in the areas of greatest importance to clients. In the final analysis, when Diamond’s Board of Directors looked at the core values, operating principles, and aspirations of Diamond and PwC, they recognized this as a compelling opportunity for all of our constituents.

I’d welcome any questions you have about this pending merger, and I will keep you updated on topics that would be of interest you. Be assured that we will continue to maintain our distinct alumni network – and in fact, with increased resources, may be able to offer even broader support and activities for our former employees.

Kind regards,

Marie
