i2 Announces Transaction Aimed at Strengthening its Balance Sheet
DALLAS – June 30, 2005 - i2 Technologies, Inc. (OTC: ITWH), a leading provider of demand-driven solutions designed to deliver supply chain agility, today announced another transaction aimed at strengthening the company’s balance sheet.
i2 announced that it sold to Primavera the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of Primavera Software, Inc. held by i2 for $11 million in cash. i2 originally acquired a financial stake in Primavera in August of 2000.
Earlier in the week i2 announced that Dassault Systèmes had acquired a competency center for the development of sourcing solutions for collaborative PLM from i2 for approximately $10 million. In addition, it was announced that Q Investments, one of i2’s significant investors, had made an additional $15 million equity investment in i2. The Primavera, Dassault and Q Investments transactions, which combined provide $36 million in additional cash for i2, are part of the company’s plan to improve its net debt position. More details of the plan will be discussed during the Company’s second quarter earnings call in late July.
“i2 is committed to achieving financial stability to earn the confidence of our customers and shareholders. The divestiture of the Primavera stock is another step in our plan to eliminate the company’s cash-to-debt gap as soon as possible,” said i2 Chief Executive Officer Michael McGrath.
