PROXY STATEMENT


May 2, 2005

I.   INFORMATION ABOUT SOLICITATION AND VOTING

     Our Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy for the 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Interwoven, Inc. The meeting will be held on Thursday, June 2, 2005, at 1:00 p.m. at our headquarters located at 803 11th Avenue, Sunnyvale, California.

     This Proxy Statement contains information related to proposals to be voted on at the meeting, the voting process, the compensation of directors and our most highly paid executive officers and certain other required information. Please read it carefully.

     All proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions specified on the proxy card. If no choice is specified, the proxies will be voted in favor of the board nominees and the proposal described in the attached Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and this Proxy Statement. This Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card are first being mailed on or about May 6, 2005 to stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting.

     We will pay the costs of soliciting proxies from stockholders and will reimburse our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, for its out-of-pocket expenses in assisting in the solicitation. We may also reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of shares for their expenses in forwarding voting information to the beneficial owners. Our directors, officers and regular employees may solicit proxies on our behalf, without additional compensation, in person or by telephone.

II.   QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

     
          Q:
  Who can vote at the meeting?
 
   
          A:
  Our Board of Directors set April 15, 2005 as the record date for the meeting. All stockholders who owned our common stock at the close of trading on April 15, 2005 may attend and vote at the meeting. Each of these stockholders is entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on at the meeting. On April 15, 2005, there were 41,305,866 shares of our common stock outstanding.
 
   
          Q:
  How many votes do you need to hold the meeting?
 
   
          A:
  A majority of our outstanding shares as of the record date must be present at the meeting in order to hold the meeting and conduct business. This presence is called a quorum. Your shares are counted as present at the meeting if you are present and vote in person at the meeting, or if you have properly submitted a proxy card.
 
   
  Both abstentions and broker non-votes (described below) are counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.
 
   
          Q:
  What are broker non-votes and how do they affect the voting results?
 
   
          A:
  Generally, broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial

  owner, and the broker lacks discretionary voting power to vote such shares. Brokers have discretionary authority under New York Stock Exchange rules to vote such shares for or against certain “routine” matters, including all of the proposals to be voted on at the meeting. If a broker votes shares with respect to which the beneficial owner has not voted for or against a proposal presented in this Proxy Statement, the broker’s votes are taken into account in determining the outcome of that proposal.
 
   
          Q:
  What shares that I own can be voted?
 
   
          A:
  You may vote all shares you owned as of the close of business on April 15, 2005, the record date for the meeting. You may have held these shares directly in your name as the stockholder of record, or the shares may have been held for you as the beneficial owner through a broker, bank or other nominee.
 
   
          Q:
  What proposals will be voted on at the meeting?
 
   
          A:
  There are two proposals scheduled for a vote at the meeting. They are:

  •   Proposal No. 1: To elect two Class III directors to the Board of Directors, each to serve for a term of three years or until his successor has been duly elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal.
 
  •   Proposal No. 2: To ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2005.

     
  In addition, stockholders may be asked to consider and vote upon such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. However, we are not aware of any other business that will be considered and voted upon at the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
 
   
          Q:
  What is Interwoven’s voting recommendation?
 
   
          A:
  The Board of Directors recommends that you vote your shares “FOR” each of the board nominees and “FOR” the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accountants for 2005.
 
   
          Q:
  What is the vote requirement to approve each of the proposals?
 
   
          A:
  For the election of directors under the first proposal, the two individuals nominated for election to the Board of Directors at the meeting receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected. You may either vote “FOR” one or both nominees or “WITHHOLD” your vote with respect to one or both nominees. If you sign your proxy card with no additional instructions, your shares will be counted as a “FOR” vote for each director nominee.
 
   
  The second proposal requires the affirmative “FOR” vote by a majority of those shares present and entitled to vote at the meeting. You may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” from voting on Proposal No. 2. If you abstain from voting on Proposal No. 2, it will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. If you sign your proxy card with no additional instructions, your shares will be voted “FOR” Proposal No. 2.
 
   
          Q:
  How can I vote my shares in person at the meeting?
 
   
          A:
  Shares held directly in your name as the stockholder of record may be voted in person at the meeting. If you choose to vote this way, please bring the enclosed proxy card and proof of identification to the meeting. If you hold your shares in street name, you must request a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee in order to vote at the meeting.
 
   
          Q:
  How can I vote my shares without attending the meeting?
 
   
          A:
  If you hold shares directly as a stockholder of record, you may vote your shares without attending the meeting by marking, signing and returning the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed postage prepaid envelope. Please refer to the summary instructions included on your proxy card.
 
   
  If you hold your shares in street name, your broker, bank or other nominee will include a voting instruction card. You may vote your shares by marking and signing your proxy card and following the instructions

  provided by your broker, bank or other nominee and mailing it in the enclosed, postage prepaid envelope. Furthermore, the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee may also provide for voting using the telephone or over the Internet. If your broker, bank or other nominee provides such an option and you wish to vote using the telephone or over the Internet, then follow the instructions provided by them. If you provide specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted as you have instructed.
 
   
          Q:
  How can I change my vote after I return my proxy?
 
   
          A:
  You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the final vote at the meeting. You may do this by signing a new proxy card with a later date, by delivering a written notice of revocation to our Secretary stating that the proxy is revoked or by attending the meeting and voting in person. Attending the meeting will not revoke your proxy unless you specifically request it. Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee and you wish to vote at the meeting, you must bring to the meeting a letter from your broker, bank or other nominee confirming your beneficial ownership of the shares and that your broker, bank or other nominee is not voting the shares at the meeting.
 
   
          Q:
  Who tabulates the results of the meeting and when will the results be announced?
 
   
          A:
  The preliminary voting results will be announced at the meeting. The final results will be published in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2005. Voting results are tabulated and certified by our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a representative of which has been appointed as the Inspector of Elections for the meeting.

PROPOSAL NUMBER 1.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

     The Board of Directors is divided into three classes. Each class serves for three years, with the terms of office of the respective classes expiring in successive years. Directors in Class III will stand for election at this meeting. The terms of office of directors in Class I and Class II do not expire until the annual meetings of stockholders held in 2006 and 2007, respectively. The Board of Directors proposes that each of the two Class III nominees named below, both of whom are currently serving as directors, be re-elected as a Class III director for a three-year term expiring at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier resignation or removal. Shares represented by the accompanying proxy will be voted “FOR” the election of each of the two nominees named below, unless the proxy is marked to withhold authority so to vote. If any nominee for any reason is unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, the proxies may be voted for such substitute nominee as the proxy holder might determine. Each nominee has consented to being named in this Proxy Statement and to serve if elected.

Board of Directors Committees and Meetings

Corporate Governance

     The Board of Directors is committed to, and for many years has adhered to, sound and effective corporate governance practices. The Board of Directors is also committed to exercising its responsibilities to oversee our business and affairs consistent with the highest principles of business ethics. Reflecting these commitments, during the past year, as well as in prior years, the Board of Directors and management have periodically reviewed and updated our corporate governance policies and practices in accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and listing standards issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

     The Board of Directors reviews current best practices of similarly situated public companies and, from time to time, modifies our governance practices, with the goal of aligning the interests of directors and management with those of our stockholders. For instance, earlier this year, we established a lead director among our independent directors, appointing Mr. Fanzilli to the position. We have in place a variety of policies and practices to promote good corporate governance. These policies and practices include, but are not limited to, the following:

  •   A majority of the members of the Board of Directors are independent.
 
  •   The Board of Directors has designated a Lead Independent Director who, among other duties, is responsible for presiding over executive sessions of independent directors.
 
  •   The Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Governance Committees consist solely of independent directors.
 
  •   Independent directors meet without the presence of non-independent directors at regularly scheduled times and from time to time as deemed necessary or appropriate.
 
  •   The Board of Directors conducts an annual self-evaluation of the functioning of the Board of Directors and its committees.
 
  •   Disclosure control policies and procedures are maintained in accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
 
  •   Procedures and guidelines governing securities trades by our personnel are maintained, including quarterly trading blackouts applicable to all our employees.
 
  •   The compensation of our executive officers is determined by the Compensation Committee, and our Chief Executive Officer is excluded from meetings in which his or her compensation is voted on or deliberated.

     We have also established and review annually charters for each standing committee of the Board of Directors and a Code of Conduct and Business Ethics applicable to our officers, directors and employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, in discharging their work-related responsibilities. Charters for each standing committees of the Board of Directors and the Code of Conduct and Business Ethics is available at our corporate website, http://www.interwoven.com/company/investors/corp_governance.html.

     We have also established a confidential hotline through which employees may report concerns about our business practices. As required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Audit Committee has established procedures for receipt and handling of complaints we receive regarding accounting, internal account controls or auditing matters. These procedures are available at our corporate website, http://www.interwoven.com/company/investors/corp_governance.html.

Independence of Directors.

     The Board of Directors has adopted a standard for evaluating the independence of the members of the Board of Directors that complies with the “independent director” requirements of current listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc.; the “outside director” requirements of the regulations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code; and the “non-employee director” requirements under Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of

Table of Contents

1934. The Board of Directors has determined that each of our directors is an independent director, other than Mr. Brauns, who serves as our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors. All members of our standing committees are independent directors.

Committees of the Board of Directors.

     The standing committees of the Board of Directors are the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee.

     Audit Committee. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors oversees our financial reporting process pursuant to a written charter. The Audit Committee performs several functions: it selects and engages our independent registered public accounting firm; reviews the scope and results of the examination of our consolidated financial statements by our independent registered public accounting firm; reviews with the independent registered public accounting firm and management our quarterly and annual consolidated financial statements and independent registered public accountants’ opinion; approves all professional services and related fees performed by the independent registered public accounting firm; and periodically reviews our accounting policies and internal accounting and financial controls. The current members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Codd, Corey and Fanzilli. Mr. Corey serves as the chairman of the Audit Committee.

     Each member of the Audit Committee qualifies as an “independent director” under NASD Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15) and meets the other general audit committee composition requirements of NASD Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(2)(A). In addition, the Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Codd and Mr. Corey are “audit committee financial experts” within the meaning of the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and meet the financial sophistication requirement of The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc.

     Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee considers and approves compensation for our employees and officers, including our Chief Executive Officer, grants (or delegates authority to grant to employees who are not officers) options and stock awards under our employee benefit plans, and reviews and recommends adoption of and amendments to stock option and employee benefit plans, pursuant to a written charter. The current members of the Compensation Committee are Mr. Fanzilli and Mr. Thomas. Mr. Fanzilli serves as the chairman of the Compensation Committee. Mr. Codd and Mr. Zingale also served as members of the Compensation Committee during 2004.

     Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee identifies, considers and nominates candidates for membership to the Board of Directors and handle various corporate governance matters, including assisting management in developing and administering a code of conduct and business ethics, pursuant to a written charter available on our website at http://www.interwoven.com/company/investors/corp_governance.html. The current members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are Mr. Fanzilli and Mr. Zingale.

Meetings and Attendance.

     During 2004, the Board of Directors met eight times, including telephonic meetings, the Audit Committee held eight meetings, the Compensation Committee held five meetings and the Nominating and Governance Committee held one meeting. No director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and of all committees of the Board of Directors on which that director served during the period such director served. Our policy is to invite and encourage each member of the Board of Directors to attend our annual meetings of stockholders. All of our directors attended our 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Nominations Process and Director Qualifications

     The goal of the Nominating and Governance Committee is to ensure that our Board of Directors possesses a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high-quality business and professional experience. To this end, the Committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for director. The Committee regularly assesses the appropriate size of the Board of Directors, the qualification of each member, the composition of the Board of Directors generally and whether any vacancies on the Board of Directors are expected due to retirement or

8


Table of Contents

otherwise. In the event that vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, the Committee considers various potential candidates for director. Candidates may come to the attention of the Committee through current members of the Board of Directors, stockholders or other persons. In addition, the Committee will consider properly submitted stockholder nominations for candidates for membership on the Board of Directors as described below under “Stockholder Proposals to be Presented at Next Annual Meeting.” The Committee seeks to achieve a balance of knowledge and experience on our Board of Directors. Accordingly, the Committee seeks nominees with high professional and personal ethics and values, an understanding of our business lines and industry, diversity of business experience and expertise, broad-based business acumen and the ability to think strategically. In addition, the Committee considers the level of the candidate’s commitment to active participation as a director, both at board and committee meetings and otherwise. Although the Committee uses these and other criteria to evaluate potential nominees, we have no stated minimum criteria for nominees. The Committee does not use different standards to evaluate nominees depending on whether they are proposed by our directors and management or by our stockholders.

Communications with Directors

     A stockholder can contact the Board of Directors or specific members of the Board of Directors by writing to Board of Directors, c/o Allan D. Smirni, Vice President and General Counsel, Interwoven, Inc., 803 11th Avenue, Sunnyvale, California 94089, and, if appropriate, noting the name of the intended recipient. The General Counsel will forward all of these communications directly to the director(s). Our independent directors review and approve our stockholder communications process periodically to ensure effective communications with stockholders.

Director Compensation

     Cash Compensation. Each non-employee director receives an annual retainer of $20,000 for attendance and participation in regular meetings and committee meetings of the Board of Directors. Our Lead Independent Director is paid an additional $2,500 per quarter for his or her services in that capacity. In addition, we reimburse reasonable travel and related expenses incurred by non-employee directors in connection with their attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors and its committees.

     Option Grants. Under the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan, each non-employee director is automatically granted an option to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock under this plan when first becoming a member of the Board of Directors. Subsequently, each non-employee director is automatically granted an additional option to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock following each annual meeting of stockholders if the director has served continuously as a member of the Board of Directors for at least one year. Each option granted to a director under the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan has a ten-year term and terminates three months following the date the director ceases to be one of our directors or consultants, 12 months afterwards if termination is due to death or disability. All such options are fully vested and immediately exercisable as of the date of grant.

     Other Benefits. Each non-employee director is eligible and may elect to receive medical, dental and vision benefits. These benefits are available to our employees, officers and directors generally and in operation provide for the same method of allocation of benefits between management and non-management participants. Benefit payments for our directors in 2004 were: $15,354 for each of Mr. Thomas, Mr. Zingale and Mr. Codd, $14,761 for Mr. Fanzilli and $10,630 for Mr. Corey.

PROPOSAL NUMBER 2.

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

     The Audit Committee selected KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2005 and has further directed that management submit the selection of KPMG LLP for ratification by stockholders at the meeting. KPMG LLP has been engaged as our independent registered public accountants since April 2001. A representative of KPMG LLP is expected to be present at the meeting. The representative will have an opportunity to make a statement, if so desired, and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

     Neither our Bylaws nor other governing documents or law require stockholder ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. However, the Board of Directors is submitting the selection of KPMG LLP to stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If our stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain the firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of different independent registered public accountants at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in our best interests and those of our stockholders.

Option Grants in 2004

     The following tables show for 2004 certain information regarding stock options granted to, exercised by and held at year-end by each of the Named Executive Officers.

     In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the potential realizable value is calculated based on the ten-year term of the stock option and the market value at the time of grant. These gains are based on assumed rates of annual compound stock price appreciation of 5% and 10% from the closing price on the date an option was granted until the end of the option term. The 5% and 10% assumed annual rates of stock price appreciation are mandated by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not represent our estimate or projection of future common stock prices.

     Percentages shown under “Percentage of Total Options Granted to Employees in 2004” are based on an aggregate of 3,818,714 stock options granted to our employees, directors and executive officers under our stock option plans during the year ended December 31, 2004.

Mr. Martello holds stock options that will immediately vest as to 50% of the number of any unvested shares subject to such options in connection with a change in control of the Company that involves the termination of his employment without cause. As of December 31, 2004, 76,964 unvested shares, with a weighted average exercise price of $12.45 per share, were subject to stock options containing this benefit.

     Rafiq R. Mohammadi. Mr. Mohammadi’s current base annual salary is $200,000 and his 2005 on-target incentive pay is $100,000. All of his incentive pay is determined under the 2005 Executive Officer Incentive Bonus Plan. Although we continue to employ Mr. Mohammadi, he ceased serving as an executive officer in October 2004. Mr. Mohammadi’s employment is “at will” and may be terminated at any time, with or without formal cause. Mr. Mohammadi holds stock options that will immediately vest as to 50% of the number of any unvested shares subject to such options in connection with a change in control of the Company that involves the termination (without cause) or constructive termination of his employment within 12 months following the change in control. As of December 31, 2004, 63,977 unvested shares, with a weighted average exercise price of $13.40 per share, were subject to stock options containing this benefit.

     2005 Executive Officer Incentive Bonus Plan. This plan provides incentives to designated officers to assist us in achieving revenue and pro forma operating income targets for the year ending December 31, 2005, and for each calendar quarter of 2005. Plan participants are eligible to receive up to four quarterly bonuses and one annual bonus. Each target bonus payment is an amount equal to 20% of the participant’s target bonus amount for the year; the actual bonus payment is the target bonus payment multiplied by a percentage (which may be less than or more than 100%) that depends upon achievement of corporate targets. Corporate targets that influence executive bonuses under this plan are expressed in terms of total revenue and pro forma operating income. The specific revenue and pro forma operating income targets are not public information. These corporate targets are given equal weight in determining actual bonus payments. The Compensation Committee has the discretion to adjust quarterly or annual bonus amounts under the plan based on a recommendation by our Chief Executive Officer after review of a participant’s performance.

Summary Description of Non-Stockholder Approved Plans

     2000 Stock Incentive Plan. In May 2000, the Board of Directors adopted the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan. The Board of Directors reserved 1.0 million shares (as adjusted for stock splits, combinations and other similar events) of common stock for issuance thereunder. In September 2000, the Board of Directors reserved an additional 2.0 million shares (as adjusted for stock splits, combinations and other similar events) of common stock for issuance thereunder. Options and restricted stock may be granted or issued under this plan to employees, officers, directors, consultants, independent contractors and advisors; however, aggregate awards to officers may not exceed 40% of the aggregate number of shares that have been reserved for grant, and the aggregate number of restricted stock awards to officers may not exceed 40% of the aggregate number of shares issued as restricted stock awards made under this plan. Only nonstatutory stock options are available for grant under the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan. Options may be granted for periods of up to ten years at a price per share no less than par value of the shares on the date of grant. Restricted stock awards may be granted at a price per share no less than par value of the shares on the day of grant. Options generally vest as to 25% of the shares on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remainder vest ratably over a 36-month period thereafter. Restricted stock awarded to participants under this plan is generally subject to our lapsing right to repurchase those shares upon termination of the participant’s employment, which right generally lapses over a four-year period. In general, in the event a participant’s employment or services with us terminates prior to the expiration date of the option or our repurchase right completely lapses, the participant’s option may thereafter be exercised (to the extent vested on the date of termination) for up to 12 months (in the case

of death or disability) or 90 days, or the participant’s shares may thereafter be repurchased (to the extent our repurchase right has not lapsed on the date of termination) for up to 90 days, as the case may be. If Interwoven is acquired and the acquiring company does not assume, replace or substitute the outstanding awards under this plan, these awards will terminate to the extent unexercised or unvested at the time the acquisition closed.

     2003 Acquisition Plan. In connection with our merger with iManage, Inc. in November 2003, the Board of Directors adopted the 2003 Acquisition Plan and reserved 503,000 shares of common stock for issuance thereunder, as permitted by The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. Only nonqualified stock options will be granted under this plan. Nonqualified stock options may be granted only to any employee, officer, director, consultant, independent contractor or advisor who provided services to iManage, Inc. prior to the merger. Options under the 2003 Acquisition Plan may be granted for periods of up to ten years and at prices no less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. Options generally vest as to 25% of the shares on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remainder vest ratably over a 36-month period thereafter. In general, in the event a participant’s employment or services with us terminates prior to the expiration date of the option, the participant’s option may thereafter be exercised (to the extent vested on the date of termination) for up to 6 months (in the case of death or disability) or 90 days. If Interwoven is acquired and the acquiring company does not assume, replace or substitute the outstanding awards under this plan, these awards will terminate to the extent unexercised or unvested at the time the acquisition closed.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for administering our executive compensation programs, including an annual review and approval of the salaries and other compensation of our executive officers. During 2004, Ronald E.F. Codd, Frank J. Fanzilli, Jr. and Anthony Zingale served as members of the committee for the entire year and Thomas L. Thomas served as a member of the committee during December 2004. Each member of the Compensation Committee is a “non-employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and an “outside director,” as defined pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and is “independent” as defined under Rule 4200(a)(15) of the National Association of Securities Dealers listing standards.

Compensation Philosophy and Practices

     Our general philosophy with respect to the compensation of executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer, is to provide a competitive total compensation package and to link compensation to company performance, individual achievement and increases in stockholder value as measured in the equity markets. We believe that total cash compensation should vary with Interwoven’s results in achieving its financial and non-financial objectives, and have structured our cash-based variable compensation program for executive officers so that bonus awards depend primarily on the achievement of company-wide revenue and pro forma operating income objectives established at the beginning of the year. In the first quarter of each year, we review executive officer cash compensation, both base salary levels and target bonuses, make determinations with respect to actual bonus payments for the recently-completed year and consider stock option awards to our executive officers. In setting the compensation for executive officers other than our Chief Executive Officer, we review and give considerable weight to the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer.

Elements of Executive Compensation

     Base Salary: We determine the base salaries of our executive officers on an individual basis by evaluating each officer’s scope of responsibility, individual performance, prior experience and salary history, as well as the salaries for similar positions at comparable companies. We target a base salary for each executive officer that we believe is in the mid-range of the companies that we considered to be comparable, subject to variation depending on the officer’s prior experience and individual performance. During 2004, we considered and approved adjustments to the base salaries for two of our executive officers.

     Annual Incentives: It has been Interwoven’s practice to include performance-based cash bonuses as part of each executive officer’s annual compensation plan. In March 2004, we approved the 2004 Executive Officer Incentive Bonus Plan. This plan provided incentives to designated officers to assist Interwoven in achieving revenue and pro forma operating income targets established for the year ending December 31, 2004 and for each quarter of 2004. Except for Mr. Carnecchia whose incentive pay for 2004 consisted exclusively of commissions for software license bookings and professional services revenue, and Mr. Martello whose incentive cash compensation for 2004 consisted primarily of commissions on professional services revenue, all incentive cash compensation paid to executive officers for 2004 was paid under the plan. Annual target bonus amounts ranging from $100,000 to $300,000 were established for each of the participating executive officers. Participants were eligible to receive up to four quarterly bonuses and one annual bonus, with each target bonus amount equal to 20% of the participant’s annual target bonus amount. Actual bonus payments under the plan were determined by multiplying the target bonus amount by a percentage that depended on the extent to which the revenue and pro forma operating income targets were met or exceeded, with 100% of a target bonus payable if both targets were met but not exceeded. Each target was given a 50% weighting in determining the actual bonus payment. The plan also provided for Compensation Committee discretion to adjust bonus amounts after review of a participant’s performance. For 2004, participating executive officers received bonus payments ranging between 92% and 107% of their respective target bonus amounts. Each participating executive officer received approximately 82% of his individual target bonus based on achievement of the plan’s revenue and pro forma operating income targets; in addition, we awarded discretionary bonuses, ranging between 10% and 25% of each executive officer’s target bonus amount, after reviewing their performance during the year and the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer.

Table of Contents

     Stock Options. We believe that equity-based compensation in the form of stock options provides incentives to build stockholder value and aligns the interests of our officers with those of our stockholders. Stock options grants are typically awarded to executive officers upon hiring or promotion, in connection with a significant change in responsibilities or occasionally to achieve equity within a peer group. Each year, we review the stock options held by our executive officers and consider whether to make an additional award. In making this determination we take into account the responsibilities, past performance and anticipated future contribution of the executive, the competitiveness of the executive’s overall compensation package, as well as the executive’s existing equity holdings, accumulated realized and unrealized stock option gains, the potential reward to the executive if the value of our common stock appreciates and the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer. During 2004, executive officers were granted options to purchase 595,000 shares of our common stock, including an award of 200,000 shares to David Nelson-Gal upon his joining Interwoven as our Senior Vice President of Engineering.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation

     In 2003, in connection with his appointment as our President and Chief Executive Officer, we established the base salary, target bonus amount, and equity compensation package for Martin W. Brauns. Mr. Braun’s annual base salary was set at $350,000 and his target bonus amount was set at $300,000. In making these decisions, we had targeted a compensation package that would be above the mid-range for the software companies that we considered to be comparable and believe that, at that time, the overall compensation package for Mr. Brauns was at approximately the seventy-fifth percentile. During 2004, we did not adjust Mr. Brauns’ base salary or target bonus compensation, nor did we award him a stock option because of the awards he received in 2003. Mr. Brauns was a participant in the 2004 Executive Officer Incentive Bonus Plan and was paid total bonuses for 2004 of $289,800, amounting to 97% of his target bonus amount. Of the bonus, $244,800 was awarded based on our achievement of the revenue and pro forma operating income targets established in the plan; we awarded the remaining $45,000 of the bonus in recognition of the Company’s achievement of important non-financial objectives, including the integration of Interwoven with iManage following our November 2003 merger.

Federal Tax Considerations

     Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits Interwoven to a deduction for federal income tax purposes of no more than $1 million of compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer and the four other most highly compensated executive officers in a taxable year. Compensation above $1 million may be deducted if it is “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of the Code. The Compensation Committee has considered the requirements of Section 162(m) and believes that grants made to the Chief Executive Officers and other applicable officers satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” and are, therefore, exempt from the limitations on deductibility. The Compensation Committee’s present intention is to comply with Section 162(m) unless the Compensation Committee believes that these requirements are not in the best interest of Interwoven or its stockholders.

Compensation Committee:

Frank J. Fanzilli, Jr., Chairman
Ronald E. F. Codd (through March 2005)
Thomas L. Thomas
Anthony Zingale (through March 2005)

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

     In 2004, the members of the Compensation Committee were Messrs. Codd, Fanzilli, and Zingale for the entire year and Mr. Thomas since December 2004. Mr. Fanzilli serves as chairman of the Compensation Committee. No interlocking relationships exist between any member of our Compensation Committee and any member of any other company’s board of directors or compensation committee.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is composed of three independent directors and operates pursuant to a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. The members of the Audit Committee are Ronald E. F. Codd, Bob L. Corey and Frank J. Fanzilli, Jr. The Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Codd and Corey are “audit committee financial experts” within the meaning of the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and meet the financial sophistication requirement of The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. The Audit Committee selected KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm.

     Management is responsible for our internal control over financial reporting and the financial reporting process. KPMG LLP is responsible for performing an independent audit of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and to issue a report thereon. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.

     In this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management and KPMG LLP. Management represented to the Audit Committee that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and KPMG LLP. The Audit Committee discussed with KPMG LLP the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as amended.

     KPMG LLP also provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees. In addition, the Audit Committee has considered whether services other than audit and audit-related provided by KPMG LLP are compatible with maintaining the independence of KPMG LLP.

     Based on the Audit Committee’s discussions with management and KPMG LLP and the Audit Committee’s review of the representations of management and the report and disclosures of KPMG LLP to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

     From January 1, 2004 to the present, there have been no transactions, and there are currently no proposed transactions, in which the amount involved exceeds $60,000 to which we or any of our subsidiaries was (or is to be) a party and in which any executive officer, director, 5% beneficial owner of our common stock or member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had (or will have) a direct or indirect material interest, except for payments set forth under “Executive Compensation” above and the transactions described below.

Indemnification Agreements

     We have entered into indemnity agreements with all officers and directors which provide, among other things, that we will indemnify such officer or director, under the circumstances and to the extent provided for therein, for expenses, damages, judgments, fines and settlements he or she may be required to pay in actions or proceedings in which he or she is or may be made a party by reason of his or her position as a director, officer or other agent of Interwoven, and otherwise to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and our Bylaws.

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock to file initial reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such persons are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms filed by such person.

Committee Responsibilities

     Oversight of the Company’s Independent Auditor

     The Committee shall be directly and solely responsible for the selection, appointment, engagement, compensation, retention, oversight and replacement, if deemed appropriate, of any independent auditor employed by the Company for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, audit-related or attest services for the Company. The Company’s independent auditor will report directly to the Committee. The Committee shall:

  1.   Select and engage the independent auditor for Interwoven, based on independence, qualifications and performance and determine the compensation paid for those services.
 
  2.   Approve, in advance, all audit, audit-related and attest services performed for the Company.
 
  3.   Approve, in advance of their performance, any non-audit services to be provided by the Company’s independent auditor that are permitted by applicable law, provided that the Committee may establish pre-approval policies and procedures for the engagement of independent auditor to render permitted non-audit services.
 
  4.   Evaluate, no less often than annually, the qualifications, performance and independence of the independent auditor, including that of the lead partner. This evaluation shall include obtaining a written report from the independent auditor describing: i) its own quality control procedures; ii) any material issues raised by its most recent internal quality-control review, PCAOB or peer review of the firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities within the past few years, concerning an independent audit or audits carried out by the independent auditor, and iii) any steps taken to address those issues raised by any of the above reports, inquiries or investigations.
 
  5.   Oversee the rotation of the lead audit, concurring and other partners of the Company’s independent auditor as may be required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to maintain auditor independence.
 
  6.   Obtain and review, no less often than annually, a written statement from the Company’s independent auditor describing all relationships between the independent auditor and the Company required to be disclosed by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, and discuss with the independent auditors any disclosed relationships or services that may impact the auditor’s objectivity and independence.
 
  7.   Meet with the independent auditor prior to the audit to discuss planning and staffing of the audit.
 
  8.   Review with the independent auditor the results of the audits and periodic reviews, any significant difficulties encountered during the course of the audit, any restrictions on the scope of work or access to required information and any significant disagreement among management and the independent auditor in connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Resolve any disputes between management and the independent auditor. Review with the independent auditor any accounting adjustments that were noted or proposed by the auditor but that were “passed” (as immaterial or otherwise), any communications between the audit team and the auditor’s national office respecting auditing or accounting issues presented by the engagement and any “management” or “internal control” letter or schedule of unadjusted differences issued, or proposed to be issued, by the auditor to the Company. Approve a schedule for implementing any recommended changes and monitor compliance with the schedule.
 
  9.   In connection with the Committee’s review of the annual consolidated financial statements, obtain from the independent auditor a written report addressing the critical accounting policies and practices used by the Company, alternative treatments of financial information within accounting principles generally accepted in the United States that the independent auditor has discussed with management, the ramifications of the use of such alternative disclosures and treatments and the treatment preferred by the independent auditor. Review such report with the independent auditor and understand the nature of other significant accounting and reporting matters, including complex and unusual transactions.
