Wolf Haldenstein Investigates i2 Technologies, Inc. Proposed Acquisition

2009-11-05 18:26 ET - News Release


NEW YORK -- (Business Wire)

Attorney Advertising. The law firm of Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP is investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty by the Board of Directors of i2 Technologies, Inc. (“i2” or the “Company”) [NYSE:ITWO] arising out of the proposed acquisition of i2 by JDA Software Group, Inc. (“JDA”).

On Thursday, November 5, 2009, i2 announced that it had agreed to be acquired by JDA in a deal that may be structured in one of two ways. Under the intended structure, JDA would raise $275 million in unsecured financing that would put i2’s purchase price at about $18 a share, with current i2 shareholders getting about $12.70 in cash and about a quarter-share of JDA stock for each i2 share. If JDA cannot raise the funds, an alternative structure would give i2 shareholders less cash and more shares of JDA. The deal’s financial structure includes the purchases of the shares for $434 million, along with an agreement to retire about $121 million in debt. JDA would then get back about $160 million in i2’s cash on hand when the deal closes, putting the value of the deal at $396 million. However, the Company may not have adequately shopped itself around before entering into this transaction and, pursuant to this transaction, JDA may be underpaying for i2, thus unlawfully harming i2 shareholders.
