EX-99.1 2 dex991.htm PRESS RELEASE Press Release

Exhibit 99.1

San Jose, CA—January 9, 2007— Agile Software Corporation (Nasdaq: AGIL), a leading provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions, today announced that it has received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market, stating that the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Listing Council”) had stayed, or postponed, the decision of the Nasdaq Listing Qualification Panel (the “Panel”), announced by Agile on December 13, 2006, that could have resulted in Agile being delisted from Nasdaq as early as January 9, 2007. Further, the Listing Council has determined to review the Panel’s decision with respect to possible delisting of Agile. The Panel’s decision resulted from the Company’s inability to file its Form 10-K for its year ended April 30, 2006, and its Form 10-Q for the first two quarters of its 2007 fiscal year, due to an ongoing review, initiated by the Company, of the Company’s stock options grant practices.

As a result of the Listing Council determination to stay and review the Panel’s decision, Agile has until February 2, 2007, to submit to Nasdaq information it wishes the Listing Council to consider in its review process. After considering Agile’s submission and information received from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department, including current financial information regarding the Company, which has been provided to the market by the Company, the Listing Council will review the Panel’s decision. Agile cannot predict when, after February 2, 2007, the Listing Council will complete its review and render a decision or whether the Listing Council will chose to extend the date by which the Company must be in compliance with its SEC filing requirements in order to avoid a delisting.

The NASDAQ Stock Market previously determined that Agile had until January 8, 2007 to become compliant with its filing obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in order to avoid possible delisting. The Company is unable to timely make such filings until the previously announced review of its stock option grant practices is completed and it determines the amount, and applicable periods, of the non-cash, pre-tax charges for stock- based compensation expense that it must recognize. The review is substantially complete, and Agile is in the process of making that determination. Although no assurances can be given, the Company has targeted the completion of that determination by the end of January and the filing of the 10-K and 10Qs as early as the end of February.

Agile also announced today that another shareholder derivative lawsuit had been filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on January 3, 2007, naming the Company as a nominal defendant and also naming as defendants certain of the Company’s present and former officers and directors. The lawsuit makes claims with respect to the Company’s awarding of stock option grants, alleging that backdated stock options were granted by the Company from April 2000 through November 2002. On December 11, 2006, Agile announced the filing of a similar derivative action. The Company’s board of directors and management intends to review the allegations of the lawsuit and will address the matter and respond in a manner the Board considers to be in the best interests of the shareholders.
