On June 28, 2005, the Registrant entered into a Settlement Agreement with RCG Ambrose Master Fund, Ltd., RCG Halifax Fund, Ltd., Parche, LLC, Starboard Value & Opportunity Fund, LLC, Admiral Advisors, LLC, Ramius Capital Group, LLC, C4S & Co., LLC, Ramius Securities, L.L.C., Peter A.

Under this Settlement Agreement, a copy of which is attached as an Exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this description by reference, the Registrant’s Board of Directors agreed, among other matters:

 

    to expand the Board of Directors from four to eight members and to elect four new independent directors (see Item 5.02(d) below);

 

    to announce that the Registrant’s 2005 annual meeting of stockholders will be held in Edison, New Jersey, on Friday, October 7, 2005, with a record date of August 22, 2005;

 

    to reduce the size of the Board of Directors from eight to seven members after the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders;

 

    to nominate the four new directors and three of the four continuing directors for election by stockholders at the 2005 annual meeting;

 

    to separate the role of chief executive officer from the board chairmanship, and to elect Murray Low, a current director, to serve as Interim Chairman; and

ITEM 5.03 AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR;

 

(a) On June 27, 2005, the Registrant’s Board of Directors amended the Registrant’s Bylaws a to create a new time limit on the scheduling of the Registrant’s future annual meetings of stockholders. The new time limit for holding annual meetings, which shall take effect with respect to the Registrant’s 2006 annual meeting of stockholders, will be three months after the deadline for filing the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Specifically, Article I, Section 2 of the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Bylaws has been revised as follows (bold text inserted):

 

2. ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting shall be held on a date to be fixed by the Board of Directors, the President or the Chairman of the Board (which date shall not be a legal holiday in the place where the meeting is to be held) at the time and place to be fixed by the Board of Directors, the President or the Chairman of the Board and stated in the notice of the meeting. If no annual meeting is held in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Board of Directors shall cause the meeting to be held as soon thereafter as is convenient, provided that the annual meeting shall be held within the three-month period following the last permitted filing date for the corporation’s annual report on Form 10-K. If no annual meeting is held in accordance with the foregoing provisions, a special meeting may be held in lieu of the annual meeting, and any action taken at that special meeting shall have the same effect as if it had been taken at the annual meeting, and in such case all references in these By-Laws to the annual meeting of the stockholders shall be deemed to refer to such special meeting.

3. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of stockholders may be called at any time only by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President, the Board of Directors or the holders of at least 30% of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.

 

4. NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Except as otherwise provided by law, written notice of each meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. The notices of all meetings shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting. The notice of a special meeting shall state, in addition, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the records of the corporation.


5. VOTING LIST. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting, at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time of the meeting, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.

 

6. QUORUM. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, the holders of a majority of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.

It shall not be necessary to notify any stockholder of any adjournment of less than 30 days if the time and place of the adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which adjournment is taken, unless after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

 

8. VOTING AND PROXIES.

No such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from the date of its execution, unless the proxy expressly provides for a longer period.

 

9. ACTION AT MEETING. When a quorum is present at any meeting, the holders of a majority of the stock present or represented and voting on a matter (or if there are two or more classes of stock entitled to vote as separate classes, then in the case of each such class, the holders of a majority of the stock of that class present or


represented and voting on a matter) shall decide any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders at such meeting, except when a different vote is required by express provision of law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws. Any election by stockholders shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote at the election.

 

10. NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS. Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors. Nomination for election to the Board of Directors of the corporation at a meeting of stockholders may be made by the Board of Directors or by any stockholder of the corporation entitled to vote for the election of directors at such meeting who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 10. Such nominations, other than those made by or on behalf of the Board of Directors, shall be made by notice in writing delivered or mailed by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary, and received not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to such meeting; provided, however, that if less than 70 days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given to stockholders, such nomination shall have been mailed or delivered to the Secretary not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the date on which the notice of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made, whichever occurs first. Such notice shall set forth (a) as to each proposed nominee (i) the name, age, business address and, if known, residence address of each such nominee, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of each such nominee, (iii) the number of shares of stock of the corporation which are beneficially owned by each such nominee, and (iv) any other information concerning the nominee that must be disclosed as to nominees in proxy solicitations pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including such person’s written consent to be named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected); and (b) as to the stockholder giving the notice (i) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation’s books, of such stockholder and (ii) the class and number of shares of the corporation which are beneficially owned by such stockholder. In addition, to be effective, the stockholder’s notice must be accompanied by the written consent of the proposed nominee to serve as a director if elected. The corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the corporation.

 

The chairman of the meeting may, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedure, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

 

11. NOTICE OF BUSINESS AT ANNUAL MEETINGS. At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (c) otherwise properly brought before


an annual meeting by a stockholder. For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, if such business relates to the election of directors of the corporation, the procedures in Section 10 of Article I must be complied with. If such business relates to any other matter, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the corporation not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than 70 days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the date on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made, whichever occurs first. A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (b) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation’s books, of the stockholder proposing such business, (c) the class and number of shares of the corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, and (d) any material interest of the stockholder in such business. Notwithstanding anything in these By-Laws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at any annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 11 and except that any stockholder proposal which complies with Rule 14a-8 of the proxy rules (or any successor provision) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is to be included in the corporation’s proxy statement for an annual meeting of stockholders shall be deemed to comply with the requirements of this Section 11.

 

The chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11, and if he or she should so determine, the chairman shall so declare to the meeting that any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

The Secretary of the corporation shall act as secretary at all meetings of the stockholders; but in the absence of the Secretary at any meeting of the stockholders, the presiding officer may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.


ARTICLE II. DIRECTORS

 

1. GENERAL POWERS. The business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of a Board of Directors, who may exercise all of the powers of the corporation except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws. In the event of a vacancy in the Board of Directors, the remaining directors, except as otherwise provided by law, may exercise the powers of the full Board until the vacancy is filled.

 

2. NUMBER; ELECTION AND QUALIFICATION. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors, but in no event shall be less than three. The number of directors may be decreased at any time and from time to time by a majority of the directors then in office, but only to eliminate vacancies existing by reason of the death, resignation, removal or expiration of the term of one or more directors. The directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of stockholders by such stockholders as have the right to vote on such election. Directors need not be stockholders of the corporation.

 

3. TERMS OF OFFICE. Each director shall serve for a term ending on the date of the first annual meeting following the annual meeting at which such director was elected; PROVIDED, that the term of each director shall be subject to the election and qualification of his or her successor and to his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

 

4. QUORUM; ACTION AT MEETING. A majority of the directors at any time in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the event one or more of the directors shall be disqualified to vote at any meeting, then the required quorum shall be reduced by one for each director so disqualified, provided that in no case shall less than one-third ( 1/3) of the number of directors fixed pursuant to Section 2 above constitute a quorum. If at any meeting of the Board of Directors there shall be less than such a quorum, a majority of those present may adjourn the meeting from time to time. Every act or decision done or made by a majority of the directors present at a meeting duly held at which a quorum is present shall be regarded as the act of the Board of Directors unless a greater number is required by law, by these By-Laws or by the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation.

 

5. REMOVAL. Directors of the corporation may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote.

 

6. VACANCIES. Any vacancy in the Board of Directors, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from an enlargement of the Board, shall be filled only by vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.

 

7. RESIGNATION. Any director may resign by delivering his or her written resignation to the corporation at its principal office or to the Chairman of the Board or Secretary. Such resignation shall be effective upon receipt unless it is specified to be effective at some other time or upon the happening of some other event.


8. REGULAR MEETINGS. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without notice at such time and place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors; provided that any director who is absent when such a determination is made shall be given notice of the determination. A regular meeting of the Board of Directors may be held without notice immediately after and at the same place as the annual meeting of stockholders.

 

9. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be held at any time and place, within or without the State of Delaware, designated in a call by the Chairman of the Board, two or more directors, or by one director in the event that there is only a single director in office.

 

10. NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETINGS. Notice of any special meeting of directors shall be given to each director by the Secretary or by the officer or one of the directors calling the meeting. Notice shall be duly given to each director (i) by giving notice to such director in person or by telephone at least 48 hours in advance of the meeting, (ii) by sending a telegram, telex or telecopy, or delivering written notice by hand, to his or her last known business or home address at least 48 hours in advance of the meeting, or (iii) by mailing written notice to his or her last known business or home address at least 72 hours in advance of the meeting. A notice or waiver of notice of a meeting of the Board of Directors need not specify the purposes of the meeting.

 

11. MEETINGS BY TELEPHONE CONFERENCE CALLS. Directors or any members of any committee designated by the directors may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or such committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

 

12. ACTION BY CONSENT. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent to the action in writing, and the written consents are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee.

 

13. COMMITTEES. The Board of Directors may designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the corporation. The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or upon the disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members of the committee present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or she or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or


disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors and subject to the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation and may authorize the seal of the corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it. Each such committee shall keep minutes and make such reports as the Board of Directors may from time to time request. Except as the Board of Directors may otherwise determine, any committee may make rules for the conduct of its business, but unless otherwise provided by the directors or in such rules, its business shall be conducted as nearly as possible in the same manner as is provided in these By-Laws for the Board of Directors.

 

14. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS. Directors may be paid such compensation for their services and such reimbursement for expenses of attendance at meetings as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the corporation or any of its parent or subsidiary corporations in any other capacity and receiving compensation for such service.

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, dated this 28th day of June, 2005 (“Settlement Agreement”), among RCG Ambrose Master Fund, Ltd., RCG Halifax Fund, Ltd., Parche, LLC (“Parche”), Starboard Value & Opportunity Fund, LLC (“Starboard”), Admiral Advisors, LLC, Ramius Capital Group, LLC, C4S & Co., LLC, Ramius Securities, L.L.C., Peter A. Cohen, Morgan B. Stark, Jeffrey M. Solomon and Thomas W. Strauss (the foregoing individuals and entities being collectively referred to herein as the “RCG Group”), and I-many, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

 

WHEREAS, the RCG Group (i) has notified the Company that it intends to submit nominations for election of candidates that would represent at least a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders, and (ii) has taken certain actions in furtherance thereof; and

 

WHEREAS, the Company and the members of the RCG Group have determined that the agreements contained herein are in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the respective representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and conditions hereinafter set forth, and, intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Board Composition; 2005 Annual Meeting; Related Matters.

 

(a) Effective July 1, 2005, (a) the Company shall cause the number of directors on the Board to be increased to eight (8) directors and (b) the Board shall elect Mark R. Mitchell, John A. Rade, Yorgen H. Edholm and Steven L. Fingerhood (together, the “New Nominees”) to the Board to fill the vacancies created. Effective July 1, 2005, at least one of the New Nominees shall be appointed to each Board Committee (other than the Committee for Limited Stock Option Grants), and the New Nominee so appointed to each such Board Committee shall be designated by Mark Mitchell. The Company agrees (i) that until the election of the New Nominees, neither the Board, nor any committee thereof, shall take any action, other than in direct connection with the approval or performance of this Settlement Agreement, and (ii) that until immediately following the Annual Meeting and the election of directors at such meeting as provided in Section 1(b), no action may be taken by the Board without the affirmative vote of at least five directors, or in the case of any action by a committee of the Board (other than the Committee for Limited Stock Option Grants), no committee action may be taken without board approval by the affirmative vote of at least five directors.

 

(b) Effective July 1, 2005, the Company shall (i) set August 22, 2005 as the record date for the Annual Meeting (as defined below), (ii) set October 7, 2005 as the date of the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), and (iii) nominate a slate of seven directors for election by the stockholders to the Board at


the Annual Meeting. The Company agrees that the Annual Meeting shall not be adjourned, delayed, extended, postponed or otherwise not held for any reason on October 7, 2005, without the approval of a majority of the New Nominees. Such slate as referenced in Section 1(b)(iii) above shall consist of three persons selected by the Company, who shall be Murray B. Low, Karl E. Newkirk, and A. Leigh Powell (together, the “Company Nominees”) and four persons selected by the RCG Group, who shall be the New Nominees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a condition to Mr. Powell’s nomination for election as director at the Annual Meeting shall be that he shall agree in writing, in form reasonably acceptable to the New Nominees, to resign as a director effective at such time as he is no longer Chief Executive Officer of the Company. If any Company Nominee or New Nominee elects not to stand for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting, then the party hereto that selected such nominee shall have the right to select a new person to be that party’s nominee. The only matters that shall be acted upon at the Annual Meeting shall be the election of directors, as provided above, and the ratification of auditors, except with the approval of a majority of the New Nominees.

 

(c) The RCG Group and the Company shall publicly support and recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote for the election of each of the New Nominees and Company Nominees at the Annual Meeting, and each member of the RCG Group shall vote all shares of the Company’s shares of common Stock (“Common Stock”) which they are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting (including as proxies) in favor of the election of each of the New Nominees and the Company Nominees and such votes shall not be revoked in any manner. The Company shall cause its designated proxy holders to vote in favor of the election of each of the New Nominees and the Company Nominees with respect to any valid proxy received by the Company and such votes shall not be revoked for the Annual Meeting for which no contrary voting instructions are specifically provided by the holders of such shares.

 

(d) No later than July 1, 2005, Murray B. Low shall be elected as the Interim Chairman of the Board and shall serve in such position until his successor is duly elected and shall have qualified, provided that his successor shall be approved by a majority of the Board, including at least two of the New Nominees.

 

(e) The RCG Group hereby withdraws its demand for a stockholder list and related information dated June 15, 2005. The RCG Group will promptly file an amendment to the Schedule 13D filed by it regarding its beneficial ownership of the Common Stock, as so amended (the “Schedule 13D”) reporting the entry into this Settlement Agreement.


2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the RCG Group.

 

The members of the RCG Group jointly and severally represent, warrant and covenant as follows:

(b) This Settlement Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed, and delivered by each member of the RCG Group, constitutes a valid and binding obligation and agreement of each such member, and is enforceable against each such member in accordance with its terms.

Diker and Mark N. Diker, and that such Irrevocable Proxy has not been amended since it was granted.

 

(d) No member of the RCG Group is party to any agreements regarding the voting of disposition of shares of Common Stock other than as described in its Schedule 13D. The Schedule 13D accurately discloses the RCG Group’s beneficial (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) ownership of Common Stock.

 

3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company.

 

The Company hereby represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

 

(a) The Company has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of this Settlement Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

4. Covenant Not to Sue. Each member of the RCG Group, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, agrees not to sue or otherwise commence or continue in any manner, directly or indirectly, any suit, claim, action, right or cause of action relating to any acts or omissions in connection with the Annual Meeting, including without limitation, the nomination or election of directors, the solicitation of proxies or consents or any acts or filings in connection therewith; provided, however, that neither party hereto shall be prohibited from enforcing its rights under and pursuant to this Settlement Agreement, including without limitation the commencement of a proxy contest and solicitation of proxies.

 

5. Specific Performance. Each of the members of the RCG Group, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury to the other party hereto would occur in the event any of the provisions of this Settlement Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that such injury would not be adequately compensable in damages. It is accordingly agreed that the members of the RCG Group, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand (the “Moving Party”), shall each be entitled to specific enforcement of, and injunctive relief to prevent any violation of, the terms hereof and the other party hereto will not take action, directly or indirectly, in opposition to the Moving Party seeking such relief on the grounds that any other remedy or relief is available at law or in equity, nor shall such other party seek the posting of a bond as a condition for obtaining any such relief. An application for specific performance pursuant to this Section 5 shall not preclude the Moving Party from seeking other relief available at law or in equity.

 

6. Press Release. Promptly following the execution and delivery of this Settlement Agreement, the Company shall issue the press release attached hereto as Schedule A (the “Press Release”). None of the parties hereto will make any public statements (including in any filing with the SEC or any other regulatory or governmental agency, including any stock exchange) that are inconsistent with, or otherwise contrary to, the statements in the Press Release issued pursuant to this Section 6 prior to the Annual Meeting. Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company shall not issue any other press releases prior to the Annual Meeting unless such releases have been approved by the Board, as provided in Section 1(a). The Company may issue press releases relating solely to the operations of the Company without Board approval as otherwise required in the previous sentence solely in the event the press release (i) is issued in the ordinary course of business, (ii) is consistent with the type of release previously issued by the Company prior to the date hereof without Board approval, (iii) does not in any way refer, directly or indirectly, to any matters relating to the Annual Meeting, the election of directors or this Settlement Agreement, and (iv) is approved by at least one of the New Nominees.

 

7. Expenses. Within 10 business days following receipt of reasonably satisfactory documentation thereof, the Company will reimburse the RCG Group for its reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred (after giving effect to reimbursements of unused retainers, if any), through the date of the execution and performance of this Agreement, including all required filings relating thereto, in


connection with its activities relating to the Annual Meeting, including without limitation, the nomination or election of directors, the acquisition or solicitation of proxies or consents, any acts or filings in connection therewith, and the negotiation and execution of this Settlement Agreement, provided such reimbursement shall not exceed $125,000 in the aggregate.

 

8. Termination. This Settlement Agreement, excluding Sections 4 and 7, shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) immediately following the Annual Meeting or (ii) such time as the RCG Group beneficially owns less than 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, solely as a result of sales of shares of Common Stock by the RCG Group; provided, however, that no provision of this Settlement Agreement shall terminate in the event there is a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty by the Company.

 

9. No Waiver. Any waiver by either the RCG Group or the Company of a breach of any provision of this Settlement Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Settlement Agreement. The failure of either party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Settlement Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Settlement Agreement.

I-many and Ramius Capital Group Reach Agreement

 

Four New Independent Directors Elected,

 

Annual Shareholder Meeting Set For October 7, 2005

 

EDISON, N.J. and NEW YORK, N.Y., June 30, 2005 — I-many, Inc. (NASDAQ:IMNY), a provider of advanced Enterprise Contract Management (ECM) solutions for managing corporate commitments, and certain entities managed by Ramius Capital Group, LLC (“Ramius”) announced today that they have entered into an agreement under which the company’s board of directors elected four new independent directors, expanding the board from four to eight directors, effective immediately.

 

Also as part of the agreement, I-many announced that its 2005 annual meeting of shareholders will be held in Edison, New Jersey, on Friday, October 7, 2005. The board of directors will consist of seven members after the 2005 annual meeting. Nominees for election to the board at the annual meeting will include the four new directors and three of the four continuing directors. The record date for determining shareholders eligible to participate in the annual meeting will be August 22, 2005.

 

The board also separated the role of chief executive officer from the board chairmanship, and elected Murray Low, a current director, to serve as Interim Chairman. As the company’s CEO, A. Leigh Powell will continue his membership on the board of directors.

 

The new directors were recommended by Ramius, one of I-many’s largest shareholders. Each new director is independent of I-many, and three of the four have no affiliation with Ramius. They will serve until I-many’s 2005 annual meeting of shareholders and will then be nominated for election by shareholders to full-year terms. The new directors are: Yorgen H. Edholm, Steven L. Fingerhood, Mark R. Mitchell and John Rade.

 

“I am pleased that men of such distinction and accomplishment have agreed to join I-many’s leadership,” commented Murray Low, I-many’s Interim Chairman. “They bring tremendous experience and wisdom to the board, along with new perspectives and a fresh eye for opportunities. The inclusion on the board of representatives from two of our largest shareholders should also improve communication and accountability between the board and the company’s ownership base. The company can only benefit from these changes.”

 

Through a spokesperson, Ramius noted that it is pleased that it was able to work cooperatively to meet its stated goal of reconstituting the I-many board with a majority of new independent directors. “I-many is well-positioned in the marketplace and these new directors will greatly assist the company as it capitalizes on its substantial business opportunities,” the spokesman said. “Ramius looks forward to the new board beginning to work immediately for the benefit of all I-many shareholders.”
