As most of you know all too well, our company has not been doing well lately. The share price has been down 25% over the last 2 years and 48% in the last year - significantly underperforming its peers. First and foremost, we believe that now is the time to sell the company. At our encouragement, the company agreed last November to evaluate its strategic alternatives and it is still actively doing so. We continue to support the company's Strategic Review Committee in its efforts to achieve this goal. But a sale is not certain and it is prudent to plan for an unsatisfactory outcome. If the company is not sold, i2 will need to undertake serious rebuilding efforts. To that end, we have nominated 2 independent directors to fill the seats being vacated due to retirements. As you can see from the attached biographical summaries, we have identified two excellent independent nominees for the board. These gentlemen will bring the insight and experience that will be desperately needed should a sale not occur. We will accordingly be filing proxy materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission in support of our two board nominees. We are not seeking your proxy now, but after we file our definitive proxy material, we will be sending you our proxy statement and GREEN proxy card. If you have any questions, please feel free to call us directly at 817-332-9500. You may also call D.F. King & Co., Inc., which is assisting us, toll-free at 800-347-4750. Sincerely, Geoffrey P. Raynor
