Exposed pad on ADA4084-2

Question

What's the consequence of leaving the exposed pad unconnected on the ADA4084-2? The datasheet says it must be connected. Will the result be poor thermal performance or are there other potential issues

Eric, 
 The part is SOI, so it's mostly a thermal consideration, but there are some parasitic capacitances 
 that would say connecting to Vee is the best. Ground is second best.
