Exhibit 99.2
HP to Acquire Outstanding Shares of Indigo NV
Move Strengthens HP's $20 Billion Imaging and Printing Business and Propels
HP to Forefront of Digital Commercial Printing Market
CHICAGO, Sept. 6, 2001
Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE:HWP) and Indigo N.V. (NASDAQ: INDG)
today announced that the companies have entered into an agreement for HP to
acquire the remaining outstanding shares of Indigo, a leading commercial and
industrial printing systems company. The acquisition of Indigo, which offers
the broadest range of digital color printing presses in the industry,
positions HP for a major thrust into commercial printing, a $400 billion
market ripe for digital transformation. The companies will discuss the new
relationship at the Print 01 trade show, which opened here today.
HP currently owns 14.8 million of Indigo's common shares,
representing 13.4 percent of the company's outstanding shares. Under the
terms of the agreement, HP will acquire the remaining shares of Indigo for
approximately $629 million in HP common stock and a potential future cash
payment of up to $253 million contingent upon Indigo's achievement of
long-term revenue goals, for an aggregate potential payment of up to $882
million. The transaction is expected to be accretive to earnings per share in
its first full year of operation.
"The Indigo team has a rich history of innovation and strong
customer relationships that has made it a leader in the commercial printing
market," said Carly Fiorina, chairman and chief executive officer, HP. "Our
two companies have a proven track record of collaboration, and this new
relationship will result in an even more compelling suite of offerings and
support services for customers around the world."
Indigo extends HP's printing systems portfolio beyond inkjet and
LaserJet technology into a third high-speed color print technology and
accelerates the company's plans to transform and lead the rapidly evolving
commercial printing market. With the addition of Indigo, HP will sell
offset-quality digital press solutions and services that will enable
businesses to more effectively target and retain their customers with
short-run, personalized business communications linked to digital document
creation.
"HP intends to lead the transformation of commercial printing into a
web-enabled, all-digital industry," said Vyomesh Joshi, president of HP's
Imaging and Printing Systems. "The speed, image quality and cost
effectiveness of Indigo's technology will now be available to a larger
audience through HP's brand strength and global reach. By linking Indigo's
digital press to higher-value pages, we believe we can grow our commercial
printing division over time into a multi-billion dollar HP business. We have
worked closely with Indigo's management for several years and expect a smooth
transition as they join the HP team."
"Our vision has always been to lead the printing industry into the
digital era and to see Indigo technology pervade the commercial printing
market," said Benny Landa, Indigo founder, chairman and CEO. "Now, as part of
HP, that goal is in sight."

Indigo's versatile liquid electro-photography (LEP) technology spans
commercial printing, industrial printing and photo-finishing. LEP combines
digital laser imaging with ultra-small ink particles enabling prints of
superb quality to be produced at offset printing speeds.
Indigo is a $200 million business with a growing installed base,
strong intellectual property in LEP, a highly profitable consumables
business, a direct and specialized sales force, and experienced engineers.
The company has 1,100 employees, is headquartered in The Netherlands, and has
R&D and manufacturing operations in Israel. Upon completion of the
transaction, Indigo will operate as a new division within HP's Imaging and
Printing Systems business.
Terms of the Transaction
Under the terms of the agreement, HP will offer to acquire all of
the outstanding equity of Indigo not already owned by HP in exchange for a
combination of shares of HP stock and non-transferable contingent value
rights (CVRs) entitling the holder to a contingent cash payment based on
Indigo's achievement of revenue milestones. In exchange for each share of
Indigo stock, shareholders of Indigo will receive either $7.50 in HP common
stock, or $6 in HP common stock plus one CVR entitling its holder to a cash
payment of up to $4.50 per share if Indigo achieves a total of $1.6 billion
in revenue over a three-year post-closing period. The value of each CVR
increases linearly from $0 to $4.50 as cumulative revenues increase from $1.0
billion to $1.6 billion.
The HP common stock to be issued in each case will be determined
based on the average closing price during the 20 trading days ending three
trading days prior to expiration of the offer, with the average trading price
to be used in such calculation not to be less than $16.69 or more than
$23.68. The agreement calls for HP to issue equal quantities of each
consideration alternative. The exchange represents a deal valued at
approximately $629 million in HP common stock (based on the closing price of
HP shares on September 5, 2001) as well as a maximum contingent cash payment
of approximately $253 million.
The acquisition is subject to a 95 percent minimum exchange
condition, customary closing conditions and normal regulatory reviews.
