Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with the resignation of Michael E. McGrath described in Item 5.02 below, on July 30, 2007 Mr. McGrath and i2 Technologies, Inc. (“i2” or the “Company”) entered into an Agreement (the “Resignation Agreement”) and Mr. McGrath executed a general release in favor of i2 and certain other persons (the “General Release”). Copies of the Resignation Agreement and the General Release are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively.

Pursuant to the Resignation Agreement, Mr. McGrath resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of i2 effective July 30, 2007. Under the terms of the Resignation Agreement, until October 31, 2007 Mr. McGrath will remain employed by i2 as the Company’s CEO Emeritus. Mr. McGrath agreed that he shall resign from his position as CEO Emeritus on October 31, 2007. Mr. McGrath shall not be an officer of the Company and his only duties and responsibilities as CEO Emeritus shall be to assist the Board of Directors, as requested or directed by the Board, in identifying, selecting, recruiting and interviewing candidates to fill the position of CEO on a permanent basis and in respect of such other strategic matters as may be determined from time to time by the Board in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may terminate Mr. McGrath’s employment as CEO Emeritus prior to October 31, 2007 for “cause” or if Mr. McGrath breaches or violates any of the terms of the Resignation Agreement or the General Release.

Pursuant to the Resignation Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. McGrath (i) the sum of $150,000, $10,000 of which is to be paid as consideration for Mr. McGrath’s execution of the General Release, and (ii) a base salary equal to $20,000 per month through and until October 31, 2007, payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices. The Resignation Agreement also provides for the continuation of Mr. McGrath’s entitlements under Section 1.5.2 of the Employment Agreement dated February 27, 2005 between Mr. McGrath and the Company (as amended, the “Employment Agreement”) as well as Mr. McGrath’s vested stock option awards. Section 1.5.2 of the Employment Agreement provides, in relevant part, that following a voluntary termination of Mr. McGrath’s employment with the Company Mr. McGrath’s vested equity instruments shall be exercisable until the later of (a) the 15th day of the third month following the 90th day after the date of such voluntary termination, or (b) December 31 of the calendar year in which occurs the 90th day after the date of such voluntary termination (provided that any unexercised equity instrument shall be cancelled upon the expiration of the stated term of such equity instrument). All of the foregoing benefits are contingent upon Mr. McGrath’s compliance with the terms of the Resignation Agreement and the effectiveness of the General Release.

Mr. McGrath is subject to certain confidentiality, non-disparagement, standstill, non-compete and non-solicitation obligations under the terms of the Resignation Agreement.

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

Except as contemplated by Item 1.01 above, the Company and Mr. McGrath agreed that the Resignation Agreement and an Employee Proprietary Information Agreement executed by Mr. McGrath on or about February 27, 2005 supersede and terminate the Employment Agreement.

The Employment Agreement provided for Mr. McGrath to serve as i2’s Chief Executive Officer and President for a term expiring December 31, 2007, renewable for successive one-year terms by mutual agreement of the Company and Mr. McGrath. Under the Employment Agreement, Mr. McGrath received a salary equivalent to $600,000 per annum. Mr. McGrath could also receive incentive bonuses, which would only be payable at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Employment Agreement required i2 to provide weekly private jet transportation for Mr. McGrath to and from his residence in Maine, to pay reasonable housing expenses for Mr. McGrath in Dallas, Texas (not to exceed $5,000 per month) and to pay rental car expenses during Mr. McGrath’s employment term (not to exceed $1,200 per month). i2 also was required to “gross-up” the taxable portion of any rental car expenses.


Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, Mr. McGrath initially received a restricted stock grant of 50,000 shares of i2 common stock, an option to purchase 230,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $9.01 and an additional option to purchase 190,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.60. In addition, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors subsequently granted Mr. McGrath an option to purchase 480,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $13.82. Mr. McGrath has exercised 24,255 of his stock options, and the remainder of the grants are fully vested.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On July 31, 2007, i2 announced the resignation of Michael E. McGrath as President and CEO of i2, effective on July 30, 2007. The Company had previously announced in May that Mr. McGrath was expected to retire from i2 by the end of the year. Mr. McGrath continues as an i2 director.

i2 also announced that, effective July 30, 2007, Dr. Pallab K. Chatterjee, i2’s executive vice president solutions operations and chief delivery officer, was appointed interim CEO of i2.

Dr. Chatterjee, who is 56 years old, joined i2 in January 2000 as chief operating officer and held numerous leadership positions with the Company before assuming the role of executive vice president solutions operations and chief delivery officer in February 2006. From 1976 until joining i2, Dr. Chatterjee served in several key executive officer positions with Texas Instruments, including senior vice president and chief information officer.

There is no family relationship between Dr. Chatterjee and any other executive officer or director of i2, and there is no arrangement or understanding under which he was appointed. All executive officers of i2 are appointed by the Board of Directors to serve until their successors are appointed. There are no transactions to which i2 or any of its subsidiaries is a party and in which Dr. Chatterjee has a material interest subject to disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Copies of the press releases announcing Mr. McGrath’s resignation and Dr. Chatterjee’s appointment are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively.

WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company desire to settle fully and finally all matters between them to date, including, but in no way limited to, any issues that might arise out of the Executive’s employment or the Executive’s resignation therefrom, in accordance with the terms set forth below;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1. Resignation from Employee and Officer Positions and Continuation of Employment.

Notwithstanding the above, the Board may terminate the employment hereunder of the Executive prior to October 31, 2007 for “Cause,” as that term is defined in the Employment Agreement between the Executive and the Company dated February 27, 2005 and all amendments thereto (the “Employment Agreement”). In addition, the Board may terminate the employment

For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Competitor” shall mean any corporation, partnership or other entity that (i) is doing business within or with respect to any geographic region in which the Company, any subsidiary or any affiliate of the Company does business and (ii) is engaged in a business or has one or more product or service lines competitive with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.

7. Scope of Agreement; Enforceability. Executive agrees that the restrictions contained in paragraphs 3, 4, 5, and 6 herein are reasonable as to time, scope of activity restricted, and geographical or customer restriction and that such are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company, including its Confidential Information and good will and that such restrictions will not impose any substantial hardship on Executive. Executive agrees that if he, or anyone on his behalf, challenges in any way the enforceability of such paragraphs, his outstanding stock options shall cease to be exercisable. Should any portion of paragraphs 3, 4, 5, or 6 for any reason be found unenforceable as a result of such challenge, Executive shall be obligated to return to the Company, within thirty (30) days of such finding, the value of any profits received by the Executive through exercise of such options. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s heirs, beneficiaries and/or legal representatives. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Company and its successors and assigns. If any term or provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances, shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

8. Material Inducements. The provisions of Sections 3, 4, 5 and 6 of this Agreement are material inducements to the Company entering into and performing this Agreement. In the event of any breach of the provisions of Sections 3, 4, 5 and/or 6 of this Agreement by the Executive, in addition to all other remedies at law or in equity possessed by the Company, the Company shall have the right to cancel any unexercised Options, with no further compensation due to the Executive, and/or to require that the Executive repay any of the profits received by the Executive through exercise of any Options. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company will have no adequate remedy at law, and would be irreparably harmed, if the Executive breaches or threatens to breach any of the provisions of Sections 3, 4, 5 and/or 6 of this Agreement. The Executive further agrees that the Company shall be entitled to equitable and/or injunctive relief to prevent any breach or threatened breach of Sections 3, 4, 5 and/or 6 of this Agreement, and to specific performance of each of the terms of such Sections in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies that the Company may have, without any requirement to post bond or other security. The Executive also agrees that he shall not, in any equity proceeding relating to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement, raise the defense that the Company has an adequate remedy at law.

9. Assistance. The Executive agrees to personally provide reasonable assistance and cooperation to the Company in activities related to the prosecution or defense of any pending or future lawsuits or claims involving the Company, and the Company will reimburse the Executive for reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in rendering such assistance.

i2 Announces Resignation of Michael E. McGrath as President and CEO

DALLAS – July 31, 2007 – i2 Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITWO) today announced the resignation of Michael E. McGrath as president and chief executive officer (CEO), effective July 30, 2007. The company had previously announced in May that McGrath was expected to retire from i2 by the end of the year.

“Michael became CEO during a critical time in our history, and brought a great deal of energy and passion to the position while leading us through many key initiatives, including stabilizing the company financially, improving our management foundation and setting the stage for future growth,” said i2 Founder and Chairman Sanjiv Sidhu. “Under his leadership, i2 has achieved eight consecutive quarters of profitability and improved liquidity. His increased focus on our services business has led to increases in our services revenue as we continue to transition to a solutions-oriented provider. His vision in the area of new-generation supply chain management solutions has helped i2 continue its leadership in the supply chain management space. Michael’s contributions have been many and we are grateful for all he has done on behalf of i2.”

“I have appreciated the opportunity to serve i2 as its president and CEO the last two and a half years,” said McGrath. “I will miss the daily contact that I have had working with i2’s world-class employees and customers. i2 has a bright future and I know the company will continue to deliver tremendous value to the companies it serves.”

McGrath, who intends to pursue other opportunities, continues as a director of the company and is expected to remain employed by i2 in an advisory capacity as CEO emeritus through October 31, 2007. In that role, he will continue to assist the board of directors with the search for a new CEO.

Dr. Pallab K. Chatterjee Appointed Interim CEO of i2

DALLAS – July 31, 2007 – i2 Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITWO) today announced that Dr. Pallab K. Chatterjee, i2 executive vice president, Solutions Operations and chief delivery officer, has been appointed interim chief executive officer (CEO). The company had previously announced that Michael E. McGrath had resigned the role of CEO and president to pursue other opportunities.

Chatterjee joined i2 in January 2000 as chief operating officer and held numerous leadership positions before assuming the role of executive vice president, Solutions Operations and chief delivery officer. During his tenure, Chatterjee has been integral to some of i2’s top sales and services efforts, including the company’s Supply Chain Leaders initiative. He has also been responsible for i2’s India operations, service delivery, and research and development. He has led i2 teams and key customers, including many of the Fortune 500, through supply chain transformations around the world. Chatterjee also possesses an in-depth understanding of i2’s leading supply chain solutions from a customer’s perspective, as he spent his early career at Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI). From 1976 until joining i2, Chatterjee served in several key executive officer positions with TI, including president of the company’s $1 billion Personal Productivity Products division, and senior vice president and chief information officer.

“Pallab Chatterjee is a longtime i2 executive with a deep knowledge of i2’s customer base, extensive industry experience, and operational know-how,” said i2 Founder and Chairman Sanjiv Sidhu. “The board is confident that he, backed by i2’s top-notch executive team, will skillfully lead i2 in this time of transition.”

i2’s board of directors continues its search for a new CEO, and Chatterjee is among the candidates being evaluated to fill that position on a permanent basis.
