(Nasdaq: IKOS) has determined that Mentor's $11.00 per share all-cash offer to acquire IKOS is bona fide and superior to the value of the proposed merger with Synopsys. "We are encouraged that the IKOS Board agrees with us that our offer is superior to its deal with Synopsys," said Walden C. Rhines, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Mentor Graphics. "However, we are disappointed that IKOS has recommended that its shareholders reject our offer based on its interpretation of certain provisions of the Synopsys merger agreement. It is unfortunate that IKOS is denying shareholders the ability to promptly receive the superior value of the Mentor Graphics offer. We fully intend to continue our cash tender offer to acquire IKOS." As announced on December 7, 2001, Mentor Graphics offered to acquire IKOS Systems for $11.00 in cash per share of IKOS common stock. The offer represents a premium of 37% over the Nasdaq closing price of IKOS stock on December 6, 2001 and a premium of 49.5% over IKOS' closing price on June 29, 2001, the last trading day before IKOS announced its proposed acquisition by Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS). Furthermore, the offer represents a premium of 87% over the average closing price of IKOS stock for the thirty trading days ended December 6, 2001. In addition, Mentor's offer is subject to fewer conditions than the Synopsys proposal and can be consummated more than seven months earlier than the Synopsys proposal. Mentor's offer is not subject to any financing condition and is scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time on Tuesday, January 8, 2002, unless extended.
