Agile Software Completes Acquisition of Eigner

 

Combined company positioned to become one of the largest

pure-play PLM providers

 

San Jose, CA—August 12, 2003— Agile Software Corporation (NASDAQ: AGIL), a leading provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions, announced it has completed the acquisition of Eigner, a privately held provider of PLM solutions to the automotive supply chain, industrial equipment, aerospace and defense industries. Under the terms of the definitive agreement announced on August 5th, 2003, Agile issued 1,795,000 shares of common stock and paid $2,850,000 in cash for all outstanding shares of Eigner.

 

“We are pleased that we have completed this transaction so quickly,” said Bryan Stolle, Agile CEO. “With the completion of the acquisition, we can now offer our combined customer base of nearly twelve hundred global customers an even broader PLM solution, as well as greater development and service capabilities. We are excited to begin moving forward as a combined company—one with a proven track record of customer success.”

 

“We are very focused on ensuring a smooth and seamless integration of the two companies. We have already shipped the new combined product to one of our major customers,” said Jay Fulcher, Agile president and COO. “In the first few days following the announcement, members of the Agile executive team visited over two dozen Eigner customers around the world. The reaction to our newly combined product offering was overwhelmingly positive. Customers are excited that this acquisition allows them the opportunity to extend their implementations—particularly in the areas of program execution, product cost management, and supplier collaboration. The result is a pure play PLM solution that is broader and deeper than any other on the market.”
