SPSS INC. By: /s/ Erin R. McQuade ------------------------------- Erin R. McQuade Vice President, Associate General Counsel Dated: June 6, 2007 EX-99.1 2 c15764exv99w1.txt PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE [SPSS LOGO] Contact: Janine Warell, SPSS 312-261-6535 jwarell@spss.com SPSS Announces Management Changes CHICAGO, IL (USA) JUNE 6, 2007 -- SPSS Inc., a worldwide provider of predictive analytics software, today announced the appointment of Alex Kormushoff to Senior Vice President of Worldwide Field Operations, reporting to the Company's President and CEO Jack Noonan. Also, Rich Holada, Senior Vice President of Technology, will now report to Noonan. Consistent with the Company's succession plan, these management changes are being made in connection with the resignation of John Shap, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales, who will be leaving the Company for another career position, and the resignation of Jon Otterstatter, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, who is leaving the company to devote more time to personal matters. In commenting on the changes, Noonan said, "We expect a smooth and positive transition with Alex leading our global sales, services and marketing organization, as he has played an integral role in opening the door to executive level -- or C-Suite -- solution sales in his previous post at SPSS as Senior Vice President of Worldwide Services. We also have a first-rate worldwide sales team in place that will continue to build on the sales momentum we've seen in the past several quarters. "Further, as Rich was brought into the organization to ultimately transition into the technology leadership post, he has been leading our product development organization since joining the company in 2006. With his deep software research and development background and diverse industry experience, Rich is advancing our predictive analytics platform to the enterprise level." Kormushoff, a technology veteran with nearly 30 years of industry experience, joined SPSS in 2005, having previously served as interim CEO for BroadVision, where he also held the positions of Executive Vice President for Worldwide Operations and Senior Vice President for Worldwide Professional Services. Earlier in his career, Kormushoff held management positions with Sapient, Computer Sciences Corporation, and Digital Equipment Corporation. Holada joined the Company with nearly 20 years experience in the technology industry. Previously, he was Vice President of Industry Development at Oracle Corporation, where he earlier held the post of Vice President of CRM Development. Holada has also held senior research and development positions at PeopleSoft, Inc., Trimark Technologies, Inc., and Intelligent Trading Systems, Inc., as well as earlier systems engineering positions at Sun Microsystems, Inc. Noonan added, "We value the contributions that John Shap and Jon Otterstatter have made to SPSS. We wish them both continued success in their future endeavors." Shap had been with the organization since 2004 and Otterstatter joined in 2001 through a previous acquisition. ABOUT SPSS INC. SPSS Inc.
