PROXY STATEMENT

These proxy materials and the enclosed proxy card are being mailed in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of i2 Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, for the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 29, 2008 at 3:00 p.m. (Central Time), and at any adjournment or postponement thereof, at the Center of Excellence at One i2 Place, 11701 Luna Road, Dallas, Texas 75234. These proxy materials are expected to be first mailed to stockholders of record beginning on or about April 28, 2008.

Purpose of the Meeting

The specific proposals to be considered and acted upon at this meeting are summarized in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The proposals are described in more detail in this proxy statement.

Voting Rights and Solicitation

The cost of soliciting proxies will be paid by us and may include reimbursement paid to brokerage firms and others for their expense in forwarding solicitation materials as well as the expense of preparing, assembling, photocopying and mailing this proxy statement. Solicitation will be made primarily through the use of the mail; however, our regular employees may, without additional remuneration, solicit proxies personally by telephone or Internet e-mail.

A copy of our 2007 annual report to stockholders on Form 10-K has been mailed concurrently with the mailing of the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and this proxy statement to all stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, this meeting. The annual report is not incorporated into this proxy statement and is not considered proxy solicitation material.

We have fixed April 2, 2008 as the record date for determining those stockholders who are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, this meeting. Only holders of record of our common stock, par value $0.00025 per share, and our 2.5% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at the close of business on the record date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. At the close of business on the record date, 21,455,158 shares of our common stock were outstanding and 106,614 shares of our Series B preferred stock were outstanding. All of our outstanding shares of Series B preferred stock were held of record by R2 Top Hat, Ltd., an affiliate of Q Investments.

The holders of our common stock and our Series B preferred stock will vote together as a single class on each of the proposals described in this proxy statement. Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote. Each share of our Series B preferred stock is entitled to 43.1965 votes (that number equal to the number of shares of common stock into which one share of Series B preferred stock could have been converted on the record date). Accordingly, the holder of our Series B preferred stock is entitled to 4,605,351 votes in the aggregate, or approximately 17.7% of all votes eligible to be cast at the Annual Meeting.

As of April 2, 2008, our directors and executive officers beneficially owned an aggregate of approximately 5,797,424 shares of our common stock, not including shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, constituting approximately 27.0% of the shares of common stock outstanding as of such date and approximately 22.2% of all votes eligible to be cast at the Annual Meeting. It is expected that such directors and executive officers will vote or direct the voting of all shares of our common stock held or owned by

 

1


such persons, or over which such persons have voting control, in favor of the proposals described in this proxy statement.

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of our outstanding common stock and our Series B preferred stock entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Cumulative voting is not permitted in the election of directors. If a choice as to the matters coming before the Annual Meeting has been specified by a stockholder on the proxy, the shares will be voted accordingly. If no choice is specified on the returned proxy, the shares will be voted in favor of the approval of the proposals described in the Notice of Annual Meeting and in this proxy statement and in the discretion of the persons named in the proxy as proxy appointees as to any other matter that may properly come before the Annual Meeting. The inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting will tabulate the votes, separately calculating affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes (i.e., the submission of a proxy by a broker or nominee specifically indicating the lack of discretionary authority to vote on the matter).

A stockholder executing a proxy pursuant to this solicitation may revoke his or her proxy at any time prior to its use:

 

   

by delivering to the Secretary of i2 a signed notice of revocation or a later-dated, signed proxy; or

 

   

by attending the meeting and voting in person.

Attendance at the meeting does not in itself constitute the revocation of a proxy. In addition, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the holder of record to be able to vote at the meeting.

Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions will be counted towards the tabulations of votes cast on proposals presented to the stockholders and will have the same effect as negative votes, whereas broker non-votes will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a proposal has been approved.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF THREE CLASS II DIRECTORS

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that our Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes as nearly equal in size as is practicable, designated as Class I, Class II and Class III directors, with each class serving staggered three-year terms. We currently have the following nine directors serving on our Board:

 

Class I Directors

  

Class II Directors

  

Class III Directors

Stephen P. Bradley

   Harvey B. Cash    Sanjiv S. Sidhu, Chairman

Richard L. Clemmer

   Michael E. McGrath    Michael J. Simmons

David L. Pope

   Lloyd G. Waterhouse    Jackson L. Wilson, Jr.

The term of office of our Class II directors expires at the Annual Meeting, the term of office of our Class III directors expires at the 2009 annual meeting of stockholders and the term of office of our Class I directors expires at the 2010 annual meeting of stockholders. Directors to replace those of a class whose terms expire at a given annual meeting are elected to hold office until the third succeeding annual meeting, and until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified. Each of Harvey B. Cash and Michael E. McGrath have notified the Company that they will not stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting and that their respective service on the Board of Directors will terminate as of immediately prior to the Annual Meeting.

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations for our Series B preferred stock the holders of the Series B preferred stock, voting separately as a single class to the exclusion of all other classes of our capital stock, currently have the exclusive right to elect two directors to serve on our Board. In September 2007 the holder of the Series B preferred stock exercised their right to elect two directors and elected David L. Pope and Michael J. Simmons to our Board.

Board of Directors’ Nominees

Three Class II directors, J. Coley Clark, Richard L. Hunter and Lloyd G. Waterhouse, have been nominated by our Board of Directors for election at the Annual Meeting to hold office until the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders, and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified (with Messrs. Clark and Hunter being submitted to the Board as potential nominees by the holder of our Series B preferred stock).

Unless otherwise instructed, the persons named in the accompanying proxy card will vote the proxies received by them for Messrs. Clark, Hunter and Waterhouse. If any of Messrs.

It is not expected that any of the nominees will be unable or will decline to serve as a director.

Required Vote

A plurality of the votes cast by the holders of our common stock and our Series B preferred stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors, voting together as a single class, is required for the election of a director. Abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on the determination of plurality, except to the extent that they affect the total votes received by any particular nominee. Plurality means that the nominees receiving the greatest number of votes cast by the holders of outstanding shares of our voting stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on this proposal will be elected to our Board of Directors even if they receive less than a majority of such votes.

Your Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” J. Coley Clark, Richard L. Hunter and Lloyd G. Waterhouse and proxies executed and returned will be so voted unless contrary instructions are indicated thereon.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) provides an overview of the Company’s executive compensation programs together with a description of the material factors underlying the decisions which resulted in the 2007 compensation provided to the Company’s Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”) (as presented in the tables which follow this CD&A).

The Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of our Board of Directors (the “Board”) develops the compensation philosophy and objectives for the Company as a whole, reviews and approves all compensation decisions related to our NEOs and senior executives and generally oversees our compensation programs. The Committee is comprised solely of independent, non-management members of the Board.

The Committee’s specific responsibilities include:

 

   

reviewing, revising and approving an industry specific Peer Group (as defined below) to facilitate appropriate benchmarking comparisons;

 

   

reviewing and approving annually, at the beginning of each year, the Company’s goals and objectives relevant to the CEO’s compensation for that year;

 

   

reviewing and approving annually, at the beginning of each year, the individual elements of targeted compensation for the CEO for that year, including base salary, target performance bonus and proposed equity awards and reporting such determinations to the Board of Directors;

 

   

evaluating annually, at the end of each year, the CEO’s performance in light of the goals and objectives previously identified as being relevant to the CEO’s compensation for that year, and determining the CEO’s final compensation level based upon this evaluation and other relevant information;

 

   

reviewing the CEO’s recommendations with respect to the individual elements of total compensation for the NEOs other than the CEO and approving such individual elements of compensation;

 

   

reviewing with the CEO matters relating to management succession, including compensation related issues,

 

   

making recommendations to the Board regarding all employment agreements, severance agreements, change in control provisions and agreements and any special supplemental benefits and/or perquisites applicable to the NEOs; and

 

   

reviewing and discussing with management the disclosures made in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis prior to filing the Company’s Annual Proxy Statement for the annual meeting of stockholders, and recommending to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Proxy Statement.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The Company’s compensation philosophy and objectives are designed to provide an incentive for NEOs to create shareholder value in both the short and long-term through growth of our cash flow and earnings. In order to achieve this objective, our executive compensation program is designed to provide competitive base salaries, performance bonuses and equity award programs to attract, retain and motivate top talent. Our compensation

 

11


programs are designed to reward performance based upon annual goals established by the Committee at the beginning of each year for the current year and may be adjusted periodically at the discretion of the Committee based on market or other conditions. Our compensation programs help to align the priorities and performance of our NEOs with the Company’s priorities and strategies, as they may vary from year to year. In 2007, the Company experienced many challenges including the establishment of the Strategic Review Committee of the Board to determine strategic options for the future of the Company as well as the departure of a CEO, the designation of an interim CEO and the search for a successor CEO. NEO retention and their continued focus on both short and long-term goals was an integral part of setting 2007 compensation objectives by the Committee.

In 2007, we emphasized profitability, operational performance, strategic direction, and operational improvements in the setting and awarding of compensation. The Committee identified those goals and priorities because they represented the greatest potential for tying NEO compensation to long-term interests of our shareholders. Each NEO was held accountable for the success of our corporate performance (pro forma operating income, cash flow from operations, total bookings and success of our New Generation Solutions), our performance linearity (consistent achievement of specific quarterly financial goals) and the individual performance goals applicable to his or her role on the management team.

The Committee has the authority to engage independent executive compensation consultants, outside counsel and other advisors on all matters related to the compensation of NEOs and other senior executives. In the first quarter of 2007, Syzygy Consulting Group (“Syzygy”) served as the independent consultant and advisor to the Committee. Effective October 15, 2007, PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP (“PwC”) was engaged by the Committee to serve as the Committee’s consultant and advisor. PwC takes direction from and reports directly to the Committee. The Committee has the sole authority to terminate PwC’s services.

Setting Executive Compensation Targets

Syzygy reported to the Committee and provided comparative market data on industry best practices, benchmarking data acquired from SEC proxy filings made by each of the comparable companies during the previous year and data from the Aon Radford Executive Compensation Report related to our NEOs and Senior Executives. The Aon Radford Executive Compensation Report is an international compensation survey specializing in the technology industry.

We use benchmarking to compare our NEOs’ compensation to our competitive Peer Group. For benchmarking purposes, the Committee approves a technology industry-specific group of peer companies (collectively, the “Peer Group”) with which it competes for executive talent. In response to the directional advice from the Committee, Syzygy collected pay practice information from comparable public software and services companies that have a market capitalization of $2 billion or less. This directional advice coupled with consolidations in the software sector resulted in the following list of 21 companies as the 2007 Peer Group: Agile Software, Ariba, Borland Software, CACI International, Emageon, Entrust, Informatica, Interwoven, JDA Software, Manhattan Associates, Mentor Graphics, NCI, Open Text, Pegasystems, Perot Systems, Quest Software, Sapient, S1 International, Tibco Software, Vignette and Webmethods.

In early 2007, Syzygy presented the Committee with benchmarking data relating to the compensation of executives at the Peer Group companies holding positions comparable to the positions of each of our NEOs including data regarding base salary, performance bonuses and equity awarded to such Peer Group executives. In order to validate the findings from the Peer Group’s public disclosures and, in some instances, in order to increase the number of comparable matches in the Company’s NEO jobs, published survey data is also provided for each job. The Aon Radford Executive Compensation Report is utilized by the Committee for these purposes.

Base salaries and target performance bonuses (collectively, on target earnings, or “OTE”) are determined on an annual basis at the beginning of each year. Based on the Peer group used in 2007, the executive base salaries

 

12


and target incentive awards were in the upper percentiles, which was primarily the result of the tenure of some executives as well as our strong need to retain and motivate our NEOs, as illustrated in the table below:

* Mr. Chatterjee and Mr. Varia, assumed new positions during the third quarter of 2007. The base salary and OTE percentiles are based on 2008 peer group and survey analysis for the new positions.

Equity awards are granted to the NEOs during the course of each year and are our only form of long-term incentive compensation. Our equity awards are designed to reward our NEOs for their past performance and, as the Company succeeds, are also designed to reward them for their continued contributions to Company success, thus aligning the NEOs long-term incentive with the Company’s shareholders.

NEO award recommendations are reviewed at the quarterly Committee meetings. The independent executive compensation consultants present recommendations to the Committee based on data collected from Peer Group equity awards and survey data. The Committee then considers these grant recommendations for its NEOs after evaluating the market findings, the value of each NEO to the Company, unvested holdings, retention concerns and each NEO’s performance and contributions toward the Company’s long-term success.

Approved awards, if any, are granted on the third Monday of the second month of the quarter (which is outside of a blackout period). Stock option grants are scheduled to be approved in January to be granted in February. Stock option grants generally vest over a four-year period provided employees’ continued employment. RSU awards are approved in July and granted in August. RSU grants generally vest over a two-year period provided employees’ continued employment. Although our plan allows for repricing of stock options, we have no current intention to do so. We do not have a policy for adjusting or recovering awards if Company results are restated or otherwise adjusted.

NEO new hire awards are granted the third Monday of the month following an earnings blackout period following the date of hire. The Committee meets prior to the NEO start date to approve the new hire grant.

We generally provide perquisites to our NEOs only in special situations, such as relocation or expatriate assignments as detailed in the appropriate sections below under “Individual Elements of NEO Compensation” and “Individual NEO Compensation Detail.” Offering perquisites is generally not a part of our compensation philosophy.

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions

The CEO provides the Committee with NEOs’ performance assessments and compensation recommendations. The Committee approves compensation for NEOs (other than the CEO) after considering recommendations by the CEO. No NEO, except the CEO, has a role in determining the compensation of any of the NEOs. Mr. McGrath was permitted to make recommendations to the Committee at the beginning of 2007 as to the levels of total compensation of the other NEOs. In addition, at the end of the year, Mr. Chatterjee, as Interim CEO, was delegated the authority by the Committee to increase or decrease for the individual strategic goal portion of an NEO’s annual 2007 performance bonus compensation (other than the CEO’s own performance bonus) up to 30% dependent upon the CEO’s subjective determination of such NEO’s individual performance results.

The CEO generally attends regularly scheduled quarterly Committee meetings, but is not present for the executive sessions or for any discussion of his own compensation. With respect to the CEO’s compensation, the

 

13


independent compensation consultant provides competitive data to the Committee regarding the benchmarking of CEO compensation against the Peer Group. The Committee then determines the CEO’s annual compensation. The CEO is not involved in the determination of his own annual compensation.

Individual Elements of NEO Compensation

Our NEOs are compensated through base salary, performance bonus, equity awards and certain perquisites. These elements were chosen through analysis of our Peer Group and specifically designed to attract and retain quality executives. Annual compensation decisions regarding each element take into account each NEO’s performance during the year and individual goals. Specific goals, and equity grants, will be outlined in the appropriate sections below.

Base Salaries

Base salaries are determined annually, at the beginning of each year, based upon the performance of the NEO against the plan for the prior year, a review of the benchmarking data referred to under “Setting Executive Compensation Targets” above and an assessment of the difficulty of hiring a replacement employee into the position held by the NEO should he or she elect to leave the Company. The Company’s above market based salaries primarily reflect the tenure of some executives hired at a time when the Company was larger, and the Company’s recent requirements to attract and retain talent.

In 2007, Syzygy presented Peer Group and survey information to the Committee and advised the Committee on NEO base compensation. In order to bring base salaries more in line with the Peer Group and internal base pay alignment within the NEO group, the Committee elected not to increase base salaries for 2007.

Performance Bonus

Performance bonus targets are determined annually, at the beginning of each year, after the Committee has reviewed the benchmarking data referred to under “Setting Executive Compensation Targets” above. We continue to be directed by the following guiding principles for setting the performance bonus targets for our NEOs approved by the Committee in early 2006:

 

   

standardize the compensation programs for each NEO to the greatest extent possible, while still driving functional and individual performance measurement;

 

   

align corporate level performance with specific group performance, so that performance bonuses would not be awarded, absent extraordinary circumstances, in the event that only a specific group’s performance goals were attained or only corporate goals of the Company were attained;

 

   

reflect a proper mix of financial and non-financial goals; and

 

   

ensure the programs are structured to pay only for performance, so that bonuses would not be paid to an NEO who did not attain his or her respective performance targets.

Messrs. Chatterjee and Varia have set dollar bonus targets rather than a percentage of base salary due to previous compensation agreements. The base salary and OTE for Mr. Chatterjee and Mr. Varia reflect legacy

 

14


compensation levels from the time when the Company was significantly larger than it is today and when we had to offer significantly larger compensation packages, especially with regard to performance bonus potential to attract individuals of their caliber. We maintained their compensation at that level to ensure their retention, and because their OTE continues to be heavily weighted towards the performance bonus component.

Mr. Berry’s target bonus was determined at his time of hire in 2005 based on Peer Group and market data as well as the breadth and depth of his education and experience and was included as a provision in his employment agreement. Mr. Cummings joined us after working for a consulting firm with a higher base salary component of OTE. As such, Mr. Cummings’s target bonus was set at a lower than market level due to his high base salary at the time of hire. Mr. Srivastava’s target bonus was designed to provide a strong performance incentive to achieve R&D results important to the growth of the Company and is also part of a legacy of other roles he has held with the Company.

The achievement criteria relative to each NEO’s performance bonus target are developed at the time his or her performance bonus target is determined, and are tailored to the specific performance metrics applicable to his or her role on the management team in accordance with the recommendations made by the executive compensation consultant to the Committee. The achievement criteria are designed to drive behaviors consistent with particular corporate objectives as well as each NEO’s unique role and responsibility within the Company. The Committee believes that selecting such criteria and monetarily rewarding the attainment of such objectives provides the greatest opportunity for our performance bonus program to maximize shareholder value. These criteria are subject to adjustment by the Committee during the year. Performance against these criteria is measured as of the end of the year, and the actual performance bonuses approved by the Committee are normally paid in the following February. Generally our policy is that an NEO must be employed and in good standing on the date of the payout to receive any of the approved performance bonus.

For 2007, the Committee approved the following performance bonus targets for the NEOs:

When the Committee adopted its guiding principles for setting the performance bonus targets for our NEOs in early 2007, it also defined specific parameters for the approval of actual performance bonuses under the program. The Committee may:

 

   

consider linearity of results to recognize consistent corporate performance. This means that each quarter will be reviewed and rewarded independently of all other quarters as measured against the plan for that quarter. If the performance measures are not met for a quarter, the NEOs will receive 0% bonus

 

15


 

for that quarter under the linearity component of corporate goals. We believe that consistently achieving individual quarterly financial goals is critical to the overall success of the Company.

 

   

provide for a +/- 30% subjective performance modifier in an NEO’s performance bonus amount (other than the CEO’s own performance bonus) based on the CEO’s subjective assessment of the individual contribution of such NEO to the Company and attainment of individual strategic objectives.

 

   

limit any payout resulting from the achievement of NEOs’ individual strategic goal achievement as deemed to be appropriate based on overall company financial performance. The Committee believes that this ties individual performance to the overall performance of the Company and shareholder value; and

 

   

cap each performance bonus at the lesser of $1 million or the individual targets as described in the preceding bullet. The Committee believes it is important to place a known upper limit on potential payouts under the bonus program to the NEOs, so that the Company and its shareholders would be able to determine the maximum exposure under the Company’s NEO performance bonus program.

Equity

In order to compile the market NEO stock grant and stock option grant data for the Company and to make its recommendations to the Committee, Syzygy collected and analyzed data on stock and stock options granted to Peer Group executives using the SEC filings. Syzygy analyzed the prior three year filings of each Peer Group company’s proxy statement and Form 10-K. Syzygy also analyzed each Peer Group company’s Forms 3, 4, 8-K and 10-Q filed after the proxy and 10-K in order to collect stock grant information that did not appear in these annual filings. This approach resulted in Syzygy collecting as many as four years or as few as one year of stock/stock option grant data for certain NEO jobs.

For the 2007 grant recommendations to the Committee, Syzygy calculated the current in-the-money value of each stock grant and stock option granted over a three-year period by the Peer Group utilizing closing stock prices on December 27, 2006. On that date, the Company’s stock closed at $23.00 per share. Syzygy then calculated the potential value of each stock and stock option grant by increasing each company’s closing price by 50% (i.e., 1.5) and 100% (i.e., 2 times). Long-term incentive plan cash payouts were included in these calculations at their reported value. Syzygy also employed the Black-Scholes model to determine the present value of the stock options of the Company and the Peer Group. Each company’s Black-Sholes value was computed using the strike prices of each stock option granted over the most recent three-year period, a seven-year holding period (approximately mid-way between the typical four-year vesting period and 10-year term) and a risk-free rate of return based on the nominal, constant maturity, seven-year weekly figure reported by the Federal Reserve (4.57 percent on December 22, 2006). Syzygy calculated volatility for the model using the daily closing prices of each company’s stock during the three-year period ending December 27, 2006 (or a shorter period ending December 27, 2006 if the Company’s stock did not trade for three years). Stock grant values (e.g., restricted stock or stock units) were included in the Black-Scholes calculation and were valued by adding the price at date of grant to the Black-Scholes value at date of grant. Long-term incentive plan cash payouts were included in the Black-Scholes calculation at their reported value. The Company’s Black-Scholes value was $16.60 per share using a stock price of $23.00, computed volatility of 72.18 percent and the remaining model inputs as discussed above.

Syzygy’s Black-Scholes value calculations differ from those used by the Company in the Company’s reporting of stock compensation expense in SEC filings. Syzygy’s calculations are used to determine the expected higher compensation value earned as opposed to the lower FASB 123R expense. This approach reflects the standard practice of compensation professionals, and is consistent with the stock compensation values

presented to the Committee in prior years. For example, Syzygy uses a seven-year term (because executives are expected to hold their shares or options beyond vesting) and does not reduce the resulting Black-Scholes value for expected forfeitures (as executives are not expected to terminate their employment). In addition, Syzygy considers the value of a restricted stock grant to be the face value on the date of grant plus the Black-Scholes value of an option since executives receive both the value of the shares on the date of grant and potential future gains in the share price.

Syzygy also collected and analyzed the most recent data on unexercised stock options outstanding, options available for future grant, outstanding warrants (or other instruments convertible into common stock), stock appreciate rights (SARs) and total common stock outstanding. The results of this research also included data on any new shares being registered for stock plans, shares being de-registered, stock split and exchange programs, and changes in capitalization. These company-wide data were collected in order to compute executive ownership percentages for the Company and the Peer Group that were calculated based on the diluted weighted average common stock outstanding.

The Committee adopted the 2007 grant guidelines developed by Syzygy for the Company’s NEOs. The Committee considered these grant recommendations for its NEOs after evaluating the market findings, the value of the NEOs’ unvested holdings, retention concerns and the NEOs’ performance and contributions toward the Company’s long-term success.

Nonrecurring Retention Grant Program

Management requested that in addition to its annual review of and recommendation for equity grants, Syzygy present to the Committee market data from technology companies that implemented unique retention programs during periods of organizational turnaround, restructuring and/or mergers and acquisitions. The Committee then reviewed the 2007 recommended grant from Syzygy following its market-based annual executive grant guidelines versus the recommended grants for the nonrecurring Performance-based Restricted Stock Unit (“Performance RSU”) award granted for retention purposes. The Committee determined awards based on Syzygy’s recommendations and the level of the executive (the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Customer Officer, and Chief Marketing Officer were granted higher awards due to their level of responsibilities they perform in their capacity for their roles in the Company).

The Committee approved the issuance of a non-recurring Performance RSU grant to each of our NEOs in February 2007, as well as other key employees, to mitigate the risk of losing these key employees in the event of a change in CEO or other strategic initiatives that the Board may consider. The Performance RSU grant shares vest as to 33% on February 19, 2009, subject to the Company’s Earnings per Share (EPS) as of the close of the 2008 calendar year increasing by 40% or more over the 2006 calendar year EPS. The remaining 67% vest on February 19, 2010, subject to the Company’s EPS as of the close of 2009 calendar year increasing by 60% or more over the 2006 calendar year EPS. Based on the Company’s assessment that the achievement of the performance measures required for vesting of the Performance RSU grant was not probable due to the Company’s performance in 2007, the Company did not record compensation expense for this award in its 2007 annual financial statements. Accordingly, no compensation cost is reflected in any of the tables in the CD&A.

The stock option grants vest over a four-year period provided the employee continues employment. By granting a combination of stock options and Performance RSUs in 2007, we were able to continue to tie long-term equity incentives to shareholder value. No other equity awards were issued to our NEOs in 2007.

Perquisites

Generally, our philosophy on perquisites is not to offer them unless we are attracting a new executive, relocating a new or existing executive, or using them as part of an expatriate package. These perquisites are

described in detail in the “Individual NEO Compensation Detail” and the “Former NEOs’ Individual Compensation Detail” sections below.

In 2007, the Committee approved that NEOs receive an annual physical at the Cooper Clinic in Dallas. Based on information provided by Syzygy, the Committee determined that this is a market-typical executive perquisite, and may actually result in reduced costs if a preventable medical condition is diagnosed early for treatment. The cost of the examination is taxable income to the NEOs with a partial gross-up by the Company. The 2007 NEO expense for Mr. Berry was $2,543, Mr. Varia was $2,624, Mr. Cummings was $2,605, Mr. Srivastava was $2,624 and Ms. Stinnett $2,342.

Retirement Plans

The only retirement plan which the Company offers is a 401(k) plan. Beginning May 1, 2007, the Company amended the i2 Technologies, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan to include a 100% match of the first 3% of compensation contributed to the Plan, subject to IRS limitations. This was done in conjunction with the discontinuation of the Company sponsored Employee Stock Purchase Plan. NEOs may participate under the same parameters as all other employees. The Company matching contribution for NEOs participating in the plan was: Mr. Berry, $6,500; Mr. Srivastava, $5,454; and, Ms. Stinnett, $3,563.

Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into indemnification agreements with all of our executive officers. We maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification of officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

Post-Termination Agreements

NEOs are entitled to receive severance payments and continuation of certain benefits upon certain terminations of employment other than for Cause (as defined in the applicable agreement.) This includes terminations occurring within a certain period of time following a change in control. The Committee believes the post-termination arrangements are in the best interest of the company and its shareholders to ensure that the company will have the continued dedication of the NEOs, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of the termination of the NEOs’ employment in connection with a change in control, change of CEO or other strategic initiatives that the Board or the CEO may consider. Prior to the Committee approving the NEO post-termination agreements, PwC provided Peer Group market practices and competitive factors for the Committee’s consideration. The agreements also set a financial cap for the Company’s potential liability related to NEO severance.

On February 25, 2008, we entered into Executive Retention Agreements with all of the NEOs. Under the terms of the Agreement, if the Company terminates the NEO other than for Cause (as defined in the applicable agreement), or the NEO terminates for Good Reason (as defined in the applicable agreement and in compliance with 409A Safe Harbor Regulations of the IRS Code governing deferred compensation), the Company will pay the NEO one year of base salary and on-target bonus, paid in one lump sum within 60 days of termination. The NEO will also receive one year of COBRA payments, paid in one lump sum within 60 days of termination. All unvested equity awards will accelerate and become immediately exercisable in the event of the NEOs’ termination without Cause. The above payments are limited under Section 280G(b) (2) of the IRS Code governing parachute payments, to the greater of (i) the amount of those payments which would not constitute such a parachute payment, or (ii) the amount which yields the NEO the greatest after-tax amount of benefits after taking into account any excise tax imposed under Code Section 4999 on the payments and benefits provided. These agreements supersede all other employment agreements with all NEOs.

Individual NEO Compensation Detail

Mr. Pallab Chatterjee

Mr. Chatterjee began 2007 as President, Solutions Operations. In July, 2007, he was named Interim Chief Executive Officer. There was not an adjustment to his base compensation made at that time. The base salary and OTE for Mr. Chatterjee reflect legacy compensation levels from the time when the Company was significantly larger than it is today and when we had to offer significantly larger compensation packages, especially with regard to performance bonus potential to attract individuals of his caliber. We maintained his compensation at that level to ensure his retention, and because his OTE continues to be heavily weighted towards the performance bonus component.

As President, Solutions Operations, Mr. Chatterjee’s individual strategic goals included Solutions Operations policy deployment, establishment of a Fixed Fee Tracking system to improve margins, develop strong process discipline and improve resource allocation and utilization, and business content library development. When he assumed the role as Interim Chief Executive Officer, the Committee looked to Mr. Chatterjee’s leadership during a period of challenges for the Company. The Committee added company-wide individual strategic goals for Mr. Chatterjee related to cost reduction, redesign of sales force structure, increased process consulting and managed services, and improvement in cash flow, bookings and service revenue.

Mr. Chatterjee’s 2007 performance bonus reflects his achievements in both positions he held during 2007. Mr. Chatterjee’s weighted components of the total bonus were: Corporate performance 40%, Performance Linearity 5% and Individual Goals, 55%. The corporate performance measurement was calculated to be 77% and Corporate Linearity resulted in 0%.

Mr. Chatterjee’s 2007 bonus was based on the following calculation:

(1) $34, 375 lump sum prorated increase in base pay from $367,500 to $450,000 for five months of the year;

(2) The Company financial components of $92,400 based on results of 77% for the Corporate Wide Performance Factor and 0% for the Corporate Linearity Factor.

(3) Mr. Chatterjee’s 2007 individual goals were calculated based on 7 months serving in the capacity as the President, Solutions Operations and 5 months serving in the capacity as the Interim CEO. After having previously reviewed the results of Mr. Chatterjee as compared to his goals, the Committee awarded $96,600 or 100% for the portion of his target bonus related to his personal strategic goals for the first seven months of the year as President, Solutions Operations. The Committee awarded $149,000 or 217% for the portion of his target bonus related to his personal strategic goals for the five months as Interim CEO.

The total bonus payout for Mr. Chatterjee was $372,375 or 124% of his target of $300,000. In addition to his individual performance results, this bonus also recognizes the challenges of leading the Company during highly uncertain times. PwC indicated that this annual bonus fell at the 50th percentile as compared to the Peer Group and the 50th percentile as compared to the survey data. The Committee also determined that the 2008 target bonus for Mr. Chatterjee would be $450,000. PwC indicated this reflects between a 50th and 75% percentile target in the survey data.

At its January, 2007 meeting, the Committee reviewed the guidance from Syzygy for annual equity grants as described in detail in the “Equity” section above. Effective February 2007, the Committee approved a Performance RSU grant of 50,000 shares for Mr. Chatterjee. He was also granted 15,000 Stock Option shares at $25.70 per share pursuant to the Stock Plan.

In March, 2007, we entered into severance agreement with Mr. Chatterjee. Under the terms of this agreement, if we terminated Mr. Chatterjee without Cause (as defined in the applicable severance agreement) or

 

20


if he terminated his employment with the Company by reason of a “constructive termination” within 24 months of a “Corporate Transaction” (as such terms are defined in the applicable severance agreement), then Mr. Chatterjee would have received payments equal to six months of base salary and on-target bonus potential.

In September, 2007, we entered into an agreement with Pallab Chatterjee in his capacity as the Interim CEO. The terms of this agreement stipulated that Mr. Chatterjee would receive twelve months of base salary, on-target bonus potential and company-paid medical benefits if his employment was involuntarily or constructively terminated within 12 months of the Company hiring a CEO other than Mr. Chatterjee. The agreement superseded all other employment agreements with Mr. Chatterjee.

In February, 2008, Mr. Chatterjee and all other NEOs entered into an agreement as described in the Post-termination Agreements section above, which superseded all prior employment agreements with Mr. Chatterjee.

Mr. Michael Berry

Mr. Berry serves the Company as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. His base salary and target bonus was influenced by his employment agreement when he joined the Company in 2005 and reflects his salary levels at his previous positions, the breadth and depth of his education and experience and our need to attract an experienced CFO executive of his caliber. In addition to the compensation elements discussed above, this agreement included terms related to the sale of his home and a housing allowance to facilitate his move to the Company corporate offices in Dallas, Texas. During 2007, Mr. Berry’s employment agreement was amended. On February 16, 2007, we entered into an amendment to Mr. Berry’s employment agreement in conjunction with the sale of Mr. Berry’s home in Dayton, Ohio. The Company purchased from Mr. Berry his prior residence in partial satisfaction of the provisions of the employment agreement. Due to the loss in equity from the sale of Mr. Berry’s home and in further satisfaction of the employment agreement, the Company made a one-time cash payment to Berry in the amount of $100,000 and issued to Mr. Berry shares of common stock, par value $.00025 per share, of the company valued at approximately $100,000 as of the close of trading on February 15 2007. Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Berry is required to forfeit all or some of such common stock, and to reimburse the company for all or some of the relocation expenses previously paid by the Company is he voluntarily terminates his employment with the company on or prior to August 16, 2008. The terms of this agreement also discontinued his housing allowance and accompanying tax gross-up (which prior to the agreement was $7,341 for 2007). This agreement contained retention portions aimed to retain Mr. Berry as CFO. Mr. Berry’s employment agreements also provided for post-employment severance payments and benefits in the event of termination of employment by the Company “without cause” (as defined in the applicable agreement) or by the executive for “good reason” (as defined in the applicable agreement) and also provided that all of Mr. Berry’s equity grants would be fully vested and become exercisable immediately upon a change in control of the Company, even if the employment of such NEO was not terminated. The Committee determined that it was in the best interest of the Company and Mr. Berry to have an employment agreement in place in order to ensure the quality of leadership which the Company requires. In February, 2008, Mr. Berry and all other NEOs entered into an agreement as described in the Post-termination Agreements section above that supersede all prior employment agreements with Mr. Berry.

Mr. Berry’s individual 2007 strategic goals and subsequent results included ongoing SEC and SOX compliance, forecasting and reporting of the Company, expansion of the Company’s investor base to include additional institutional investors, transition to a different public accounting firm, and streamlining the deal approval matrix. In addition, Mr. Berry has been an integral part of the Board’s strategic work on the future of the Company. Following Committee review and the CEO performance modifier, Mr. Berry received 100% of his performance target for the corporate financial results and meeting his individual strategic goals.

At its January, 2007 meeting, the Committee reviewed the guidance from Syzygy for annual equity grants as described in detail in the “Equity” section above. Effective February 2007, the Committee approved a

 

21


Performance RSU grant of 50,000 shares and a Stock Option grant of 15,000 shares at $25.70 per share to Mr. Berry pursuant to the Stock Plan.

Mr. Hiten Varia

Mr. Varia began 2007 as Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Officer, Greater Asia Pacific. In July, 2007, Mr. Varia was named EVP, Field Sales and Chief Customer Officer for the Company. The OTE for Mr. Varia reflects legacy compensation levels from the time when the Company was significantly larger than it is today and when we had to offer significantly larger compensation packages, especially with regard to performance bonus potential to attract an individual of his caliber. We maintain his compensation at that level today to ensure his retention, and because his OTE continues to be heavily weighted towards the performance bonus component.

Mr. Varia is an expatriate in Singapore. As part of his compensation package, in 2007 he received a foreign housing allowance package of $158,040, transportation benefits of $17,656, relocation benefits of $445 and reimbursement of $19,153 for his children’s education in Singapore. In addition, he received country taxes, tax preparation and a tax gross-up for this package totaling $167,149 in 2007. Total cost for expatiate expenses for Mr. Varia was $362,444. In June, 2007 and again in January, 2008, the Committee extended his expatriate agreement for another six months.

As leader of the Field Sales organization, Mr. Varia had strategic goals geared towards the industry groups and geographical regions he is responsible for in addition to his corporate and individual goals. Under Mr. Varia’s leadership, Q4 2007 total bookings were $82 million. This was the largest bookings quarter since the Company began tracking total bookings in Q4, 2005. Mr. Varia restructured the sales organization to provide increased customer value. Customer satisfaction survey results rated the Company at the highest customer loyalty index score. Following Committee review and the CEO performance modifier, Mr. Varia received 108% of his performance target for the corporate financial results and meeting his individual strategic goals.

At its January, 2007 meeting, the Committee reviewed the guidance from Syzygy for annual equity grants as described in detail in the “Equity” section above. Effective February 2007, the Committee approved a Performance RSU grant of 50,000 shares for Mr. Varia. He was also granted 15,000 Stock Option shares at $25.70 per share pursuant to the Stock Plan.

On March 9, 2007, we entered into a severance agreement with Mr. Varia. Under the terms of this agreement, if we terminate him without cause (as defined in the applicable agreement) or if he terminates his employment with the Company by reason of a “constructive termination” within 24 months of a “Corporate Transaction” (as such terms are defined in the applicable agreement), then Mr. Varia would have received payments equal to six months of base salary and on-target bonus potential.

In February, 2008, Mr. Varia and all other NEOs entered into an agreement as described in the Post-termination Agreements section above, which superseded all prior employment agreements with Mr. Varia.

Mr. John Cummings

Mr. Cummings has served the company as Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. Mr. Cummings’s base salary was set at a higher rate based on the salary level at this previous position as a consultant. As such, the Committee established a lower target bonus percentage to achieve a more reasonable OTE level for the position.

As Chief Marketing Officer, Mr. Cummings’s individual strategic goals related to overall company marketing strategy including field enablement, field marketing programs, brand and customer programs, a brand refresh, corporate communications and customer events. Following Committee review and the CEO performance

 

22


modifier, Mr. Cummings received 107% of his performance target for the corporate financial results and meeting his individual strategic goals.

At its January, 2007 meeting, the Committee reviewed the guidance from Syzygy for annual equity grants as described in detail in the “Equity” section above. Effective February 2007, the Committee approved a Performance RSU grant of 30,000 shares and a Stock Option grant of 10,000 shares at $25.70 per share to Mr. Cummings pursuant to the Stock Plan.

On March 9, 2007, we entered into a severance agreement with Mr. Cummings. Under the terms of this agreement, if we terminate him without Cause (as defined in the applicable agreement) or if the executive terminates his employment with the Company by reason of a “constructive termination” within 24 months of a “Corporate Transaction” (as such terms are defined in the applicable agreement), then Mr. Cummings would have received payments equal to six months of base salary and on-target bonus potential.

In February, 2008, Mr. Cummings and all other NEOs entered into an agreement as described in the Post-termination Agreements section above, which superseded all prior employment agreements with Mr. Cummings.

On March 24, 2008, Mr. Cummings tendered his resignation from all positions he held with the Company effective April 4, 2008. Based on his voluntary resignation, Mr. Cummings was not entitled to any post-termination benefits under any agreement. The Company has agreed to pay Mr. Cummings’ COBRA contribution for medical coverage for the remainder of April, 2008. Mr. Cummings will have one year subsequent to this date to exercise any of his options vested at the time of his termination pursuant to the Stock Plan provisions. All unvested stock options and RSUs were cancelled.

Mr. Aditya Srivastava

Mr. Srivastava serves the Company as its Senior Vice President, Chief Technology Officer. In that capacity, he is responsible for the Company’s research and development organization. Mr. Srivastava’s individual strategic goals related to the Company’s research and development including R&D financial performance, Black Belt training for R&D team members, Library publication, overall product development and refreshment and patent portfolio analysis and process. Following Committee review and the CEO performance modifier, Mr. Srivastava received 95% of his performance target for the corporate financial results and meeting his individual strategic goals.

At its January 2007 meeting, the Committee reviewed the guidance from Syzygy for annual equity grants as described in detail in the “Equity” section above. Effective February 2007, the Committee approved a Performance RSU grant of 30,000 shares and a Stock Option grant of 10,000 shares at $25.70 per share to Mr. Srivastava pursuant to the Stock Plan.

On March 9, 2007, we entered into a severance agreement with Mr. Srivastava. Under the terms of this agreement, if we terminate him without Cause (as defined in the applicable agreement) or if the executive terminates his employment with the Company by reason of a “constructive termination” within 24 months of a “Corporate Transaction” (as such terms are defined in the applicable agreement), then Mr. Srivastava would have received payments equal to six months of base salary and on-target bonus potential.

In February, 2008, Mr. Srivastava and all other NEOs entered into an agreement as described in the Post-termination Agreements section above, which superseded all prior employment agreements with Mr. Srivastava.

Former NEOs’ Individual Compensation Detail

Mr. Michael McGrath

Mr. McGrath served as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company. He is currently a retiring Board member. The base salary and target bonus of Mr. McGrath were governed by his employment contracts

 

23


with the Company and reflected both his salary levels at his previous positions and our need to attract an experienced CEO.

In order to attract a CEO of the caliber of Mr. McGrath, we provided him with perquisites which are not readily available to other employees of the Company, but which the Committee believed to be commensurate with his role and responsibility. Mr. McGrath was a resident of Maine at the time of his hiring and his employment contract included a housing allowance for rent, furniture and utilities in Dallas (not to exceed $5,000 per month) which was $25,890 in 2007, an allowance for a personal car in Dallas (not to exceed $1,200 per month) which was $6,284 in 2007, and private jet transportation between his residences in Maine and Dallas, (the cost of which was $559,993 in 2007). The tax gross-up paid by the Company in 2007 these taxable items was $42,347. Any personal use of the private jet by Mr. McGrath was paid for solely by Mr. McGrath. Additionally Mr. McGrath was solely responsible for the incremental taxable income related to his personal use of the private jet, as calculated pursuant to IRS regulations when any family members accompanied him to Dallas on the private jet. Such amount was neither paid for by the Company nor was it subject to any tax gross-up. All of Mr. McGrath’s other business travel on behalf of the Company was on commercial aircraft.

On July 30, 2007, the Company entered into a separation agreement and mutual general release with Mr. McGrath, pursuant to which Mr. McGrath resigned his positions and offices of the Company effective July 30, 2007. Mr. McGrath remained employed by the Company from that date until October 31, 2007 as CEO Emeritus in order to assist the board with this leadership transition. Mr. McGrath’s benefits payable from this agreement were: (i) the sum of $150,000, $10,000 of which was paid as consideration for the execution of the general release referred to above, and (ii) a salary of $20,000 per month for August, September and October, 2007 while he served as CEO Emeritus. In 2007, prior to his separation from employment with the Company, Mr. McGrath did not receive an increase in base pay, a performance bonus or any equity grants.

Ms. Barbara Stinnett

Ms. Stinnett served as Executive Vice President, Customer Operations and Chief Customer Officer of the Company. The base salary and target bonus of Ms. Stinnett were governed by her employment contract with the Company and reflected our need to attract an experienced executive for this critical role.

At its January, 2007 meeting, the Committee reviewed the guidance from Syzygy for annual equity grants as described in detail in the “Equity” section above. Effective February 2007, the Committee approved Performance RSU grants of 50,000 shares and a Stock Option grant of 15,000 shares at $25.70 per share to Ms. Stinnett pursuant to the Stock Plan.

Ms. Stinnett resided in Minnesota. As required by her employment agreement, Ms. Stinnett received $42,000 in 2007 plus a tax gross-up (the cost of which for 2007 was $21,346) in connection with a commuting allowance. Ms. Stinnett’s employment ended on July 31, 2007 at which time all commuting reimbursement ceased.

On July 31, 2007, the Company entered into a separation agreement and mutual general release with Ms. Stinnett, pursuant to which Ms. Stinnett resigned her positions and offices of the Company effective July 31, 2007. Ms. Stinnett’s benefits payable from this agreement were: (i) six months of base salary, (ii) 6 months target bonus, (iii) certain benefit continuation at the Company expense, and (iv) in consideration for a general release, the Company forward vested that portion of RSUs (3,333) eligible for vesting on August 21, 2007, arising from the original grant on August 21, 2006, and further the company vested that portion of RSUs (5,000) eligible for vesting on October 3, 2007 arising from her new hire grant as set forth in her employment agreement. Any other RSUs or stock options not vested as of the execution of her separation agreement were cancelled.

Accounting and Tax Treatment

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

As part of its role, the Committee reviews and considers the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code), which provides that the Company may not deduct compensation of more than $1,000,000 that is paid to certain individuals. The Company believes that compensation paid to our NEOs under our incentive compensation plans is generally fully deductible for federal income tax purposes. However, in certain situations, the Committee may approve compensation that will not meet these requirements in order to ensure competitive levels of total compensation for its NEOs. However, based on our net operating losses and other deferred tax assets, we do not believe there will be a material financial statement impact to any amounts which are determined to be non-deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company continues to account for stock-based payments in accordance with the requirements of FASB Statement 123(R). In December 2006, we modified the post-termination exercise periods of Mr. McGrath’s existing options. This resulted in incremental stock compensation expense of approximately $0.5 million in 2007 associated with the incremental value attributable to this modification.

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” contained in this proxy statement with management. Based on our review and the discussions with management, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement and incorporated by reference in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Non-management Directors’ Compensation

Our non-employee directors currently receive the following compensation:

 

   

a $25,000 annual cash retainer for serving on the Board of Directors;

 

   

a $25,000 annual cash retainer for serving as the Chair of the Audit Committee and, for each other member, a $5,000 annual retainer for serving on the Audit Committee;

 

   

a $10,000 annual cash retainer for serving as the Chair of the Compensation Committee or the Nominating and Governance Committee and, for each other member, a $2,500 annual cash retainer for serving on the Compensation Committee or the Nominating and Governance Committee;

 

   

a one-time retainer of $10,000 for serving on the Strategic Review Committee,

 

   

a $4,000 fee for each regularly-scheduled quarterly and annual meeting of the Board of Directors, Audit Committee or Compensation Committee attended on or prior to October 16, 2006 and a $2,000 fee for each regularly-scheduled quarterly and annual meeting of the Board of Directors, Audit Committee or Compensation Committee attended after October 16, 2006;

 

   

a $1,500 fee for each special meeting of the Board of Directors, Audit Committee, Compensation Committee or Strategic Review Committee attended;

 

34


   

a $500 fee for each meeting of the Strategic Review Committee attended by means of conference telephone;

 

   

an attendance fee for each meeting of the Special Committee as agreed on a project-by-project basis; and,

 

   

initial and annual grants of stock options priced at fair value on the terms set forth in the Automatic Option Grant Program of our 1995 Plan. Additional grants of stock options may be awarded under the Discretionary Option Grant Program of our 1995 Plan and are typically awarded as part of initial grants.

Under the current provisions of the Automatic Option Grant Program of our 1995 Plan, each person who becomes a non-employee Board member automatically is granted at that time an option for 6,000 shares of common stock. In addition, on the date of the annual stockholders meeting, each individual who continues to serve as a non-employee Board member after such meeting will automatically be granted an option to purchase 4,250 shares of common stock under the 1995 Plan, provided such individual has served as a non-employee Board member for at least six months. Each option will have an exercise price per share equal to 100% of the fair market value per share of our common stock on the option grant date and a maximum term of ten years from the grant date. Each option will be immediately exercisable for all the option shares, but during the vesting period we may repurchase, at the exercise price paid per share, all unvested shares held at the cessation of the director’s Board service. Each option grant will vest, and our repurchase rights will lapse, in three equal annual installments, with the first such installment vesting one year from the option grant date.

Under the Discretionary Grant Program of our 1995 Plan, our Board of Directors will determine which eligible individuals receive option grants, the time or times when those grants are to be made, the number of shares subject to each such grant, the vesting schedule (if any) to be in effect for the option grant and the maximum term for which any granted option is to remain outstanding. Each granted option will have an exercise price determined by the Board of Directors but shall in no event be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the grant date. No granted option will have a term in excess of ten years, and the option will generally become exercisable in one or more installments over the specified period of service measured from the vesting commencement date. However, one or more options may be structured so that they will be immediately exercisable for any or all of the option shares. Shares acquired under such options will be subject to repurchase by us, at the exercise price paid per share, if the optionee ceases services with the Company prior to vesting in those shares.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board Matters

In accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, our business, property and affairs are managed under the direction of the Board of Directors. Although our directors are not involved in our day-to-day operating details, they are kept informed of our business through oral or written reports and documents provided to them regularly, as well as by operating, financial and other reports presented by our officers at meetings of the Board of Directors and committees of the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors has determined that the following directors are independent under the listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Market, on which our common stock is listed: Messrs. Bradley, Cash, Clemmer, Waterhouse, Wilson and Pope. In making such determination, the Board considered that Mr. Pope was elected by the holder of our Series B preferred stock and could be removed by such holder .

Our Board of Directors met seventeen times during 2007. During 2007, each incumbent director attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings our Board of Directors held during the period for which he has been a director and the total number of meetings held by all committees of our Board of Directors on which he served.

We have a policy of inviting the attendance of directors at annual meetings of stockholders. Messrs. Sidhu, Clemmer and McGrath attended the 2007 annual meeting of stockholders.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has established a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee, Options Committee, Special Committee and a Strategic Review Committee.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is currently composed of Messrs. Wilson (Chairman), Clemmer and Waterhouse. The current members of the Audit Committee are independent as defined by the listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Market, on which our common stock is listed, and as that term is used in Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Wilson qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as that term is defined by applicable Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, and has designated Mr. Wilson as the Audit Committee’s financial expert. Mr. Wilson has a Master of Business Administration from the University of Southern California, is a licensed Certified Public Accountant (currently inactive) and, during certain periods of his employment with Accenture Ltd., supervised the preparation of financial statements for a division of Accenture Ltd.

The Audit Committee met ten times in 2007. The Audit Committee has a charter that was approved by our Board of Directors, a copy of which is posted on our website. The oversight functions of the Audit Committee include, among other things:

 

   

appointing our independent auditor;

 

36


   

reviewing the external audit plan and the results of the auditing engagement;

 

   

reviewing the internal audit plan and the results of the internal audits;

 

   

ensuring that management has maintained the reliability and integrity of our accounting policies and our financial reporting and disclosure practices;

 

   

reviewing the independence and performance of our internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm; and

 

   

reviewing the adequacy of our system of internal control and compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and corporate policies.

Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee is currently composed of Messrs. Cash (Chairman), Bradley and Clemmer. Each is independent as defined by the listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Market, on which our common stock is listed.

The Compensation Committee met 6 times in 2007. The Compensation Committee develops the compensation philosophy and objectives for the Company as a whole, reviews and approves all compensation decisions related to our NEOs and senior executives and generally oversees our compensation programs. See “Executive Compensation and Other Matters—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—The Compensation Committee.”

The full responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are set forth in its charter, a copy of which is posted on our website.

Nominating and Governance Committee

The Nominating and Governance Committee is currently composed of Messrs. Bradley (Chairman), Cash and Waterhouse. Each is independent as defined by the listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Market, on which our common stock is listed.

The Nominating and Governance Committee met 4 times in 2007. The Nominating and Governance Committee has the following responsibilities:

 

   

establishing criteria for selecting new directors;

 

   

identifying, screening and recruiting new directors;

 

   

recommending nominees for director to the Board; and

 

   

recommending to the Board a set of corporate governance policies for the Company.

The Board considers the recommendations of the Nominating and Governance Committee with respect to the nominations of directors to the Board, but otherwise retains authority over the identification of such nominees. Board candidates are considered based on various criteria, such as their strength of character, mature judgment, career specialization, relevant technical skills, diversity and the extent to which such candidate would fill a present need on the Board. The nominating and governance committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders. Any shareholder wishing to nominate a candidate for director must follow the procedures for submission of proposals set forth in the sections of this proxy statement entitled “—Submission of Director Nominations” and “Stockholder Proposals.”

The full responsibilities of the Nominating and Governance Committee are set forth in its charter, a copy of which is posted on our website.

 

37


Options Committee.

The Options Committee is composed of Mr. Cash. Prior to his resignation as Chief Executive Officer, the options committee consisted of Mr. McGrath. The Options Committee has separate but concurrent authority with the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors to make discretionary option grants from time to time under the 1995 Plan and the 2001 Plan to eligible employees that are not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

The Options Committee has the power and authority, with certain limited exceptions, to:

 

   

select the eligible individuals who are to receive option grants under the 1995 and 2001 Plans;

 

   

determine the number of shares of common stock subject to each such award (subject to the periodic corporate pool of shares authorized by the Compensation Committee and a limitation of 8,000 shares per individual each calendar year);

 

   

determine the exercise schedule in effect for each such option issuance; and

 

   

determine the maximum term for which each option may remain outstanding.

Special Committee.

The Special Committee, currently composed of Messrs. Bradley, Cash, Clemmer, Waterhouse and Wilson, was originally formed by the Board of Directors in February 2004. The Special Committee was created primarily for the purpose of (i) evaluating, negotiating, authorizing and approving the terms and conditions of the settlement of class action and derivative lawsuits against the Company in 2004, including the terms and conditions pursuant to which shares of our common stock would be sold to Mr. Sidhu and a former executive of the Company to fund a portion of such settlement, and (ii) evaluating and recommending to the Board of Directors the authorization and approval of the sale of Series B preferred stock to R2 Investments, LDC in 2004. The Special Committee consisting of Messrs. Bradley, Cash, Clemmer, Waterhouse and Wilson, did not meet in 2007. The Special Committee has been terminated.

Strategic Review Committee

On October 16, 2007, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution to create a Strategic Review Committee. The Strategic Review Committee is comprised of Messrs. Wilson (Chair), Clemmer and Waterhouse. The purpose of the Strategic Review Committee is to consider and evaluate the merits of the various strategic options available to the Company to enhance shareholder value (the “Value Enhancement Options”), including without limitation (i) changes to the Company’s business model and operations, (ii) actions or transactions intended to enhance the value or utilization of the Company’s existing assets (including the Company’s intellectual property and net operating loss carryforwards), (iv) joint ventures or strategic partnerships, (v) selective acquisitions, dispositions or other capital transactions and (vi) a merger, sale or other extraordinary business transaction involving the Company. The Strategic Review Committee met 3 times during 2007.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation.

At different times during 2007, our Compensation Committee included Messrs. Cash, Bradley and Clemmer. None of the members of the Compensation Committee during 2007 was an officer or employee, or former officer or employee, of the Company or any of our subsidiaries during 2007. No member of the Compensation Committee during 2007 had a relationship requiring disclosure by us under any paragraph of Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

The evaluation process may include a comprehensive background and reference check, a series of personal interviews by, at a minimum, the Chairman of the Board, and a thorough review by the Board of the nominee’s qualifications and other relevant characteristics, taking into consideration the criteria set forth above.

Director nominees will be recommended for the Board’s selection by a majority of the independent directors in accordance with the listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Market. If the Board of Directors accepts a recommendation for a director nominee, the form of our proxy solicited will include the name of the director nominee.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

In June 2003, we adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applies to, among others, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who is also our principal accounting officer. The full text of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available at our investor relations web site, http://www.i2.com/investor. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics generally prohibits conflicts of interest and related party transactions unless prior written approval has been obtained from the Company (which, depending on the employee or executive involved and the circumstances of the conflict or related party transaction, would require approval of our Board of Directors or an appropriate committee of the Board). We intend to disclose any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer on our investor relations web site.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on our review of the copies of the forms furnished to us or written representations from the reporting persons that no reports were required, we believe that, during and with respect to 2007, all of our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements, except that Michael Simmons inadvertently reported the Company’s grant of his director’s shares and stock options two days late. Mr. Simmons’ Form 4 was due September 17, 2007; the Company gave him the information required for the filing on September 18; and he filed on September 19.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The following is the report of the Audit Committee with respect to our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for that year.

Pursuant to a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee’s duties and responsibilities are more fully described in its charter, a copy of which is posted on our website. Management is responsible for the Company’s financial reporting process, including the systems of internal accounting and financial controls, and for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Grant Thornton, LLP, is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements and expressing an opinion on those financial statements based on their audit.

The Audit Committee met ten times in 2007. The oversight functions of the Audit Committee include, among other things, (i) appointing our independent registered public accounting firm, (ii) reviewing the external audit plan and the results of the auditing engagement, (iii) reviewing the internal audit plan and the results of the internal audits, (iv) ensuring that management has maintained the reliability and integrity of our accounting policies and our financial reporting and disclosure practices, (v) reviewing the independence and performance of our internal and external auditors, and (vi) reviewing the adequacy of our system of internal control and compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and corporate policies.

We have met and held discussions with management and Grant Thornton LLP. We reviewed and discussed with our management the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007. In

 

40


addition, we discussed with Grant Thornton LLP the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, “Communications with Audit Committees.” Also, we have received the written disclosures from Grant Thornton LLP required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, and have discussed with Grant Thornton LLP its independence from the Company.

Based upon the aforementioned discussions and disclosures, we recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, for filing with the SEC.

Representatives of Grant Thornton LLP will be attending the 2008 Annual Meeting and will be available to respond to questions. We do not anticipate that such representatives will make a statement at the meeting, but they will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so.
