i2 Settles Class Action and Derivative Lawsuits

 

DALLAS - May 10, 2004 - i2 Technologies, Inc. (OTC: ITWO), a leading provider of closed-loop supply chain management solutions, announced today that it has reached a definitive agreement to settle the consolidated shareholder class action and derivative lawsuits pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.

 

Under the agreement, the total settlement amount is $84.85 million, which includes $43 million that will be covered by i2 insurance policies and $41.85 million that will be paid by i2 this quarter. To help fund a portion of the $41.85 million payable by i2 in connection with the settlement, the company has entered into definitive agreements providing for the issuance and sale by i2 of $22 million of common stock to certain individual defendants in the lawsuits. As previously announced, Sanjiv Sidhu, i2’s chairman and chief executive officer, has agreed to purchase $20 million of common stock from i2.

 

The company established an accrual of $42 million relating to the possible settlement of the lawsuits in the fourth quarter of 2003.

 

“We are pleased with the announcement of today’s settlement,” said Mr. Sidhu. “As we put these issues behind us, we can focus more completely on maximizing the many opportunities available to the company to grow the business and return to profitability.”

 

The settlement, which does not reflect any admission of wrongdoing by i2 or its directors and officers, is subject to certain conditions including approval by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas following notice to class members of an opportunity to object or exclude themselves from the settlement.
