IRI SHAREHOLDERS URGED TO TENDER
SHARES BEFORE EXPIRATION OF GINGKO’S
SUBSEQUENT OFFERING PERIOD ON NOVEMBER 21, 2003

Consideration for Non-Tendering Shareholders May Be
Delayed 60-90 Days until the Merger if They Fail to Tender by this Friday

PALO ALTO, Calif. – November 20, 2003 – Gingko Acquisition Corp. (Gingko) urged all remaining holders of shares of common stock of Information Resources, Inc. (IRI) (Nasdaq: IRIC) to tender all of their shares before the expiration of the current subsequent offering period at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on November 21, 2003. All shares properly tendered during the subsequent offering period will be accepted when tendered, and tendering stockholders will be issued one CVR, and be paid $3.30 in cash, per share promptly following acceptance. This is the same consideration that Gingko paid to IRI shareholders who tendered into Gingko’s original offering period.

If Gingko does not own at least 90% of the outstanding IRI shares (or a sufficient number to permit Gingko to exercise its top-up option) at the expiration of the subsequent offering period, non-tendering stockholders would likely have to wait approximately 60 to 90 days to receive in the merger the same offer price described above. IRI stockholders who have not already tendered their shares, but want to be sure to receive this same offer price more quickly, should tender their shares before the expiration of the subsequent offering period. No shares tendered in the subsequent offering period may be withdrawn after having been tendered.

After the expiration of the subsequent offering period, IRI and Gingko are expected to merge, and Gingko’s parent corporation currently owns a sufficient number of IRI’s outstanding common shares to ensure approval of this merger. Pursuant to the merger, all remaining and non-dissenting IRI stockholders who did not tender their shares in the original tender offer period would receive the same CVR and $3.30 in cash per share that were issued and paid in the tender offer.

Stockholders are urged to tender their shares during the subsequent offering period, so that they need not be forced to wait approximately 60 to 90 days to receive Gingko’s same offer price in the merger.

When used in this document, the words “anticipates”, “may”, “can”, “believes”, “expects”, “projects”, “intends”, “likely”, and similar expressions (and any statements at all relating to CVR or lawsuit proceeds and taxes at the time of any CVR distribution) as they relate to IRI, Gingko, the management of either such company, the transaction, the ACNielsen lawsuit or the CVRs are intended to identify those assertions as forward-looking statements. In making any such statements, the person making them believes that its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions. However, any such statement may be influenced by factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected or anticipated. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. There are various important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any such forward-looking statements, many of which are beyond the control of IRI, Gingko, and Symphony, including: the impact of general economic conditions in regions in which IRI currently does business, industry conditions, including competition, data availability and cost and the ability to renew existing customer contracts and relationships; fluctuations in exchange rates and currency values; capital expenditure requirements; legislative or regulatory requirements, changes in the tax laws, interest rates; access to capital markets; and the timing of and any value to be received in connection with the ACNielsen lawsuit and the CVRs. The actual results or performance by IRI or Gingko, and the actual proceeds (if any) to be received by IRI in respect of the ACNielsen lawsuit or the CVRs, could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what impact they will have on the results of operations and financial condition of IRI or Gingko or the outcome of the ACNielsen lawsuit or the proceeds to be received in respect of the CVRs.
