Subject: Message from CEO - E2open Will Acquire BluJay Solutions

I’m pleased to share some exciting news with you. Today, E2open announced that it will acquire BluJay Solutions, a leading cloud-based, logistics execution platform.

BluJay is a logistics execution SaaS platform with comprehensive solutions for shippers, Logistics Service Providers (LSPs) and freight forwarders. With BluJay, companies can achieve greater trade velocity, transform their supply chain economics for disruptive advantage and see beyond the horizon to optimize their future in the global economy. BluJay’s robust suite of logistics execution applications and broad trade network of over 50k participants serves over 5,700 global customers, including 20 of the top 25 global LSPs. BluJay adds a complementary SaaS supply chain platform and enhances E2open’s capabilities in transportation and logistics.

Together, E2open and BluJay will provide customers a strategic combination of supply chain planning and execution supported by a leading global trade network. Specifically, BluJay adds considerable capabilities to E2open's platform, enhancing logistics execution including:

•

Material increase in supply chain execution capabilities, especially in Transportation Management

•

Complementary Global Trade Management platform encompassing customs declaration and filing

•

Addition of key direct-to-consumer offerings including last mile, parcel and dropship commerce

•

Expansion of global transportation network with 50 thousand network participants, $40 billion in annual commerce spend and 1.9 billion annual transactions

•

Extension of E2open’s network to include Over-the-Road trucking and complementary air transportation, enabling complete visibility from truckloads to intermodal shipments

•

Enhanced value proposition to customers by broadening access to proprietary data/analytics

We're very excited about combining E2open’s end-to-end platform and large trading partner network with BluJay’s unique logistics execution software and look forward to sharing more details on how this combination will enable our customers to derive significant benefits. Until the transaction closes, which is expected in the third quarter of 2021, the companies will continue to operate independently.

We will continue to strive to deliver our vision of a networked platform on which organizations can operate their end-to-end operations in real time.
