SEC Ends Investigation of Intuit
Option Granting Process
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Oct. 30, 2006 — Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU) announced today that the Securities and Exchange Commission has formally notified Intuit that its investigation of Intuit’s historical stock option granting practices has been terminated and that it will not recommend any enforcement action.
          As disclosed in June 2006, Intuit received an informal request from the SEC for information on historical stock option granting practices. A special committee of independent members of Intuit’s Board of Directors conducted a review of these practices. In August 2006, Intuit announced the completion of this independent review, which uncovered no evidence of fraud or intentional wrongdoing in the company’s historical stock option granting practices. Based on this review, Intuit concluded that it did not need to restate its historical financial statements. Intuit presented the results of this independent review to the SEC and to the United States Attorney for the Northern District of California. The U.S. Attorney has also received the same information submitted to the SEC and has not made any additional requests for information.
