PROXY STATEMENT
These proxy materials and the enclosed proxy card are being mailed in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of i2 Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, for the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 28, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. (Central Time), and at any adjournment or postponement thereof, at the Center of Excellence at 11701 Luna Road, Dallas, Texas 75234. These proxy materials are expected to be first mailed to stockholders of record beginning on or about April 28, 2009.
Purpose of the Meeting
The specific proposals to be considered and acted upon at this meeting are summarized in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The proposals are described in more detail in this proxy statement.
Voting Rights and Solicitation
The cost of soliciting proxies will be paid by us and may include reimbursement paid to brokerage firms and others for their expense in forwarding solicitation materials as well as the expense of preparing, assembling, photocopying and mailing this proxy statement. Solicitation will be made primarily through the use of the mail; however, our regular employees may, without additional remuneration, solicit proxies personally by telephone or Internet e-mail.
A copy of our 2008 annual report to stockholders on Form 10-K has been mailed concurrently with the mailing of the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and this proxy statement to all stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, this meeting. The annual report is not incorporated into this proxy statement and is not considered proxy solicitation material.
We have fixed April 2, 2009 as the record date for determining those stockholders who are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, this meeting. Only holders of record of our common stock, par value $0.00025 per share, and our 2.5% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at the close of business on the record date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. At the close of business on the record date, 21,982,799 shares of our common stock were outstanding and 109,303 shares of our Series B preferred stock were outstanding. All of our outstanding shares of Series B preferred stock were held of record by R2 Top Hat, Ltd., an affiliate of Q Investments.
The holders of our common stock and our Series B preferred stock will vote together as a single class on each of the proposals described in this proxy statement. Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote. Each share of our Series B preferred stock is entitled to 43.1965 votes (that number equal to the number of shares of common stock into which one share of Series B preferred stock could have been converted on the record date). Accordingly, the holder of our Series B preferred stock is entitled to 4,721,507 votes in the aggregate, or approximately 17.7% of all votes eligible to be cast at the Annual Meeting.
As of April 2, 2009, our directors and executive officers beneficially owned an aggregate of approximately 5,867,952 shares of our common stock, not including shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, constituting approximately 26.7% of the shares of common stock outstanding as of such date and approximately 22.0% of all votes eligible to be cast at the Annual Meeting. It is expected that such directors and executive officers will vote or direct the voting of all shares of our common stock held or owned by such persons, or over which such persons have voting control, in favor of the proposals described in this proxy statement.
1
The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of our outstanding common stock and our Series B preferred stock entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Cumulative voting is not permitted in the election of directors. If a choice as to the matters coming before the Annual Meeting has been specified by a stockholder on the proxy, the shares will be voted accordingly. If no choice is specified on the returned proxy, the shares will be voted in favor of the approval of the proposals described in the Notice of Annual Meeting and in this proxy statement and in the discretion of the persons named in the proxy as proxy appointees as to any other matter that may properly come before the Annual Meeting. The inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting will tabulate the votes, separately calculating affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes (i.e., the submission of a proxy by a broker or nominee specifically indicating the lack of discretionary authority to vote on the matter).
A stockholder executing a proxy pursuant to this solicitation may revoke his or her proxy at any time prior to its use:
| by delivering to the Secretary of i2 a signed notice of revocation or a later-dated, signed proxy; or |
| by attending the meeting and voting in person. |
Attendance at the meeting does not in itself constitute the revocation of a proxy. In addition, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the holder of record to be able to vote at the meeting.
Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions will be counted towards the tabulations of votes cast on proposals presented to the stockholders and will have the same effect as negative votes, whereas broker non-votes will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a proposal has been approved.

PROPOSAL 1
ELECTION OF ONE CLASS III DIRECTOR
Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that our Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes as nearly equal in size as is practicable, designated as Class I, Class II and Class III directors, with each class serving staggered three-year terms. We currently have the following nine directors serving on our Board:
Class I Directors |
Class II Directors |
Class III Directors | ||
Stephen P. Bradley |
J. Coley Clark | Sanjiv S. Sidhu | ||
Richard L. Clemmer |
Richard Hunter | Michael J. Simmons | ||
David L. Pope |
Lloyd G. Waterhouse | Jackson L. Wilson, Jr., Chairman |
The term of office of our Class III directors expires at the Annual Meeting, the term of office of our Class I directors expires at the 2010 annual meeting of stockholders and the term of office of our Class II directors expires at the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders. Directors to replace those of a class whose terms expire at a given annual meeting are elected to hold office until the third succeeding annual meeting, and until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified. Sanjiv S. Sidhu (Class III director) has notified the Company that he will not stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting and, in addition, David L. Pope (Class I director) has notified the Company that he intends to resign following the Annual Meeting. The respective service of such directors on the Board of Directors will terminate immediately following the Annual Meeting.
After receiving the notices from Mr. Sidhu and Mr. Pope, the Board of Directors reduced the authorized number of directors to six plus the number, if any, of directors elected by holders of the Series B preferred stock. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations for our Series B preferred stock, the holder of our Series B preferred stock, voting separately as a single class to the exclusion of all other classes of our capital stock, currently has the exclusive right to elect two directors to serve on our Board. In September 2007, the holder of our Series B preferred stock exercised its right to elect two directors and elected David L. Pope and Michael J. Simmons to our Board. The holder of our Series B preferred stock has indicated that in connection with our 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, it will re-elect Michael J. Simmons to serve another term as a Class III director. In addition, this holder has the right to fill the vacancy that will be created by Mr. Popes resignation at any time.

A plurality of the votes cast by the holders of our common stock and our Series B preferred stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors, voting together as a single class, is required for the election of a director. Abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on the determination of plurality, except to the extent that they affect the total votes received by any particular nominee. Plurality means that the nominees receiving the greatest number of votes cast by the holders of outstanding shares of our voting stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on this proposal will be elected to our Board of Directors even if they receive less than a majority of such votes.
Your Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR Jackson L. Wilson, Jr. and proxies executed and returned will be so voted unless contrary instructions are indicated thereon.

Derivative Actions
On March 7, 2007, a purported shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the Delaware Chancery Court against certain of our current and former officers and directors, naming the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint, entitled George Keritsis and Mark Kert v. Michael E. McGrath, Michael J. Berry, Pallab K. Chatterjee, Robert C. Donohoo, Hiten D. Varia, M. Miriam Wardak, Sanjiv S. Sidhu, Stephen P. Bradley, Harvey B. Cash, Richard L. Clemmer, Lloyd G. Waterhouse, Jackson L. Wilson Jr., Robert L. Crandall and i2 Technologies, Inc., alleges breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment in connection with stock option grants

to certain of the defendant officers and directors on three dates in 2004 and 2005. The complaint states that those stock option grants were manipulated so as to work to the recipients favor when material non-public information about the Company was later disclosed to positive or negative effect. The complaint is derivative in nature and does not seek relief from the Company, but does seek damages and other relief from the defendant officers and directors. We have entered into indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business with certain of the defendant officers and directors and may be obligated throughout the pendency of this action to advance payment of legal fees and costs incurred by the defendants pursuant to our obligations under the indemnification agreements and/or applicable Delaware law. The Company reached a settlement agreement with plaintiffs, which was approved by the Court on November 6, 2008. The settlement required the Company to adopt certain policies regarding the granting of stock options. These policies were implemented prior to the settlement. The settlement does not require the Company to pay any sum to the plaintiffs except for $200,000 in attorneys fees and costs. These costs have been previously accrued and were paid in the fourth quarter of 2008.
On October 23, 2007, a purported shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the Delaware Chancery Court against certain of our current and former officers and directors, naming the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint, entitled John McPadden, Sr. v. Sanjiv S. Sidhu, Stephen P. Bradley, Harvey B. Cash, Richard L. Clemmer, Michael E. McGrath, Lloyd G. Waterhouse, Jackson L. Wilson, Jr., Robert L. Crandall and Anthony Dubreville and i2 Technologies, Inc., alleges breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment based upon allegations that the Company sold its wholly-owned subsidiary, Trade Services Corporation, for an inadequate price in 2005. The complaint is derivative in nature and does not seek relief from the Company, but does seek damages and other relief from the defendant officers and directors. The defendants moved to dismiss the complaint on December 28, 2007. On August 29, 2008, the court granted the motion to dismiss as to all defendants but Mr. Dubreville (one of our former officers).
Shareholder Class Action Lawsuits
On August 11, 2008, two suits were filed in state district court in Texas against (among others) the Company and certain members of its Board of Directors. Each of the two suits sought injunctive relief prohibiting the closing of the sale of the Companys common stock to an affiliate of JDA Software Group, Inc., and each of the named plaintiffs purported to represent a class of holders of the Companys common stock. One of the two suits was thereafter dismissed by the plaintiff; the other, styled John D. Norsworthy, on Behalf of Himself and All Others Similarly Situated, v. i2 Technologies, Inc., et al., remains pending in the 134th District Court of Dallas County, Texas. In addition to a restraining order and/or an injunction prohibiting the Defendants from consummating the transaction with JDA Software Group, Inc., Plaintiff Norsworthy seeks rescission of the transaction, declaratory relief, and attorneys fees and costs.
On November 5, 2008, the District Court held a hearing on Plaintiff Norsworthys motion for a temporary restraining order, and at the conclusion of the hearing denied the motion in its entirety. To date, the Plaintiff has not requested monetary relief other than his attorneys fees and costs. Based on the stage of the litigation, it is not known whether he may hereafter do so, nor is it possible to estimate the amount or range of possible loss that might result from an adverse judgment or a settlement of this matter. Despite the termination of the Merger Agreement with JDA Software Group, Inc., the plaintiff has not dismissed nor amended his petition as of the date of this proxy statement.
We maintain directors and officers liability insurance and our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification of directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. We have entered into indemnification agreements with all of our directors and certain officers. In addition, our Restated Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of our directors to us and our stockholders for breaches of the directors fiduciary duties to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A) provides an overview of the Companys executive compensation programs together with a description of the material factors underlying the decisions which resulted in the 2008 compensation provided to the Companys Named Executive Officers (NEOs) (as presented in the tables which follow this CD&A).
The Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors develops the compensation philosophy and objectives for the Company as a whole, reviews and approves all compensation decisions related to our NEOs and senior executives and generally oversees our compensation programs. The Compensation Committee is comprised solely of independent, non-management members of the Board.
The Compensation Committees specific responsibilities include:
| reviewing, revising and approving an industry specific Peer Group (as defined below) to facilitate appropriate benchmarking comparisons; |
| reviewing and approving annually, at the beginning of each year, the Companys goals and objectives relevant to the CEOs compensation for that year; |
| reviewing and approving annually, at the beginning of each year, the individual elements of targeted compensation for the CEO for that year, including base salary, target performance bonus and proposed equity awards and reporting such determinations to the Board of Directors; |
| evaluating annually, at the end of each year, the CEOs performance in light of the goals and objectives previously identified as being relevant to the CEOs compensation for that year, and determining the CEOs final compensation level based upon this evaluation and other relevant information; |
| reviewing the CEOs recommendations with respect to the individual elements of total compensation for the NEOs other than the CEO and approving such individual elements of compensation; |
| reviewing with the CEO matters relating to management succession, including compensation related issues; |
| making recommendations to the Board regarding all employment agreements, severance agreements, change in control provisions and agreements and any special supplemental benefits and/or perquisites applicable to the NEOs; and |
| reviewing and discussing with management the disclosures made in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis prior to filing the Companys Annual Proxy Statement for the annual meeting of stockholders, and recommending to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Proxy Statement. |
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
The Companys compensation philosophy and objectives are designed to provide an incentive for NEOs to create shareholder value in both the short and long-term through growth of our cash flow and earnings. In order to achieve this objective, our executive compensation program is designed to provide competitive base salaries, performance bonuses and equity award programs to attract, retain and motivate top talent. Our compensation programs are designed to reward performance. Annual goals are established by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of each year for the current years performance bonus. Equity awards focus on long term Company goals and retention of NEOs and other key employees. Goals may be adjusted periodically at the discretion of the Compensation Committee based on market or other conditions. Our compensation programs help to align the priorities and performance of our NEOs with the Companys priorities and strategies, as they may vary from year to year. NEO retention and their continued focus on both short and long-term goals was an integral part of setting 2008 compensation objectives by the Compensation Committee. In 2008, the Company experienced many challenges including the Strategic Review Committees ongoing work to review strategic options, the proposed and terminated merger with JDA Software Group, Inc., the slowing global economy, and the change in CEOs.
11
The Compensation Committee approved the following financial targets and goals for the NEOs for 2008: the Companys pro forma operating income, cash flow from operations, total bookings and the individuals performance goals applicable to his or her role on the management team. These goals and priorities were selected because they represented the greatest potential for tying NEO compensation to long-term interests of our shareholders. Each NEO was held accountable for the success of our corporate performance.
The Compensation Committee has the authority to engage independent executive compensation consultants, outside counsel and other advisors on all matters related to the compensation of NEOs and other senior executives. On October 15, 2007, PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP (PwC) was engaged by the Compensation Committee to serve as the Compensation Committees consultant and advisor. PwC takes direction from and reports directly to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to terminate PwCs services.
Setting Executive Compensation Targets
PwC presented to the Compensation Committee published survey data derived from the Aon Radford Executive Compensation Report for each NEO job to validate the findings from the Peer Groups public disclosures and, in some instances, increase the number of comparable matches for a NEO job.
We use benchmarking to compare our NEOs compensation to our competitive Peer Group. For benchmarking purposes, the Compensation Committee approves a technology industry-specific group of peer companies (collectively, the Peer Group) with which it competes for executive talent. In 2008, we began with the list of the same Peer Group as in 2007 and then removed companies no longer in existence or no longer comparable to the Company in terms of revenue or due to industry consolidation. As a result, the group was reduced from 29 companies to the following 21 companies: Agile Software, Ariba, Borland Software, CACI International, Emageon, Entrust, Informatica, Interwoven, JDA Software Group, Inc., Manhattan Associates, Inc., Mentor Graphics, NCI, Open Text, Pegasystems, Perot Systems, Quest Software, Sapient Corp., S1 International, Tibco Software, Vignette and Webmethods.
Base salaries and target performance bonuses (collectively, on target earnings, or OTE) are determined on an annual basis at the beginning of each year. Based on the Peer Group used in 2008, the executive base salaries and target performance bonuses were in line with the median percentile. A slightly higher OTE percentile for some NEOs was primarily the result of the tenure of some executives as well as our strong need to retain and motivate our NEOs.
The Compensation Committee, at its January 2009 meeting, decided that no base salary increases for NEOs would be made for 2009. At the same meeting, the Compensation Committee decided to standardize the performance bonus targets for NEOs, with Executive Vice Presidents set at 65% of base salary and Senior Vice Presidents at 45% of base salaries.

The Company grants long-term equity awards to the NEOs based on shares of the Companys common stock. The Company does not grant long-term cash-based incentives to the NEOs. Our equity awards are designed to reward our NEOs for their past performance and their expected future impact on the Company, and as the Company succeeds, are also designed to reward them for their continued contributions to Company success, thus aligning the NEOs long-term incentive with the Companys shareholders. Equity grants are also used for key employee retention purposes.
The Company has or may grant the following types of equity awards to the NEOs: (i) options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock which vest at grant, vest based on continuous employment for a specified period of time after grant, or vest based on performance relative to objectives typically established at grant (collectively, Stock Options), (ii) the right to receive, through grants of restricted stock units, shares of stock in the future which vest based on continuous employment for a specified period of time after grant (RSUs), or (iii) the right to receive shares of stock in the future which vest based on continuous employment for a specified period of time after grant and achieving the specified performance criteria (Performance RSUs).
During the past few years, our general practice has been to grant Stock Options in February and RSUs in August. Beginning in 2009 it is anticipated that the Company will limit any new grants of RSUs to one time per year. The Company has implemented an Equity Compensation Awards Policy for granting equity awards to NEOs. Pursuant to this Policy, the Compensation Committee reviews NEO equity award recommendations at its quarterly Compensation Committee meetings. The independent executive compensation consultants present recommendations to the Compensation Committee based on data collected from Peer Group equity awards and survey data. The Compensation Committee then considers these grant recommendations for the NEOs after evaluating the market findings, the value of each NEO to the Company, unvested holdings, retention concerns and each NEOs performance and contributions toward the Companys long-term success. The Company grants approved NEO equity awards on the third Monday of the second month of the quarter (which is outside of a blackout period).
In January 2009, the Compensation Committee amended its Equity Compensation Awards Policy. Pursuant to the amended Policy, all NEO, retention, key contributor and other equity awards in the form of RSUs may now be granted at the next regularly scheduled monthly grant date immediately following the date the RSUs are approved for grant. However, Stock Options which have been approved for grant will continue to be granted on the third Monday of the second month of the quarter (to ensure that Stock Options are granted and priced outside of a black-out period). Effective in January 2009, the Company will allow net-share settlement to pay for taxes related to vesting of RSUs.
In January 2008, the Compensation Committee approved Stock Option grants to be awarded to all NEOs in February 2008. The Compensation Committee implemented a grant-date fair value approach versus number of shares to determine Stock Option grant size. PwC provided Peer Group and survey data based recommendations for individual NEO grant size determination.
In May 2008, the Company granted retention RSUs to key employees including the NEOs. In addition, in May 2008, Stock Options were granted to Mr. Chatterjee for his appointment as CEO and to Mr. Wilson for his appointment as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Our plan allows for repricing of Stock Options. We currently do not have a policy for adjusting or recovering awards if Company results are restated or otherwise adjusted, though the Company may consider this in the future.
We generally provide perquisites to our NEOs only in special situations, such as relocation or expatriate assignments as detailed in the appropriate sections below under Individual Elements of NEO Compensation and Individual NEO Compensation Detail. Offering perquisites is generally not a part of our compensation philosophy.
13
Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions
The Compensation Committee approves compensation for NEOs (other than the CEO) after considering performance assessments and compensation recommendations provided by the CEO. No NEO, except the CEO, has a role in determining the compensation of any of the other NEOs. The CEO generally attends regularly scheduled quarterly Compensation Committee meetings, but is not present for the executive sessions or for any discussion of his own compensation. With respect to the CEOs compensation, the independent compensation consultant provides competitive data to the Compensation Committee regarding the benchmarking of CEO compensation against the Peer Group. The Compensation Committee then determines the CEOs annual compensation. The CEO is not involved in the determination of his own annual compensation.
Individual Elements of NEO Compensation
Our NEOs are compensated through base salary, performance bonus, equity awards and certain perquisites. These elements were chosen through analysis of our Peer Group and specifically designed to attract and retain quality executives. Annual compensation decisions regarding each element take into account each NEOs performance during the year and individual goals. Specific goals and equity grants will be outlined in the appropriate sections below.
Base Salaries
Base salaries are determined annually, at the beginning of each year, based on the performance of the NEO against the plan for the prior year, a review of the benchmarking data referred to under Setting Executive Compensation Targets above and an assessment of the difficulty of hiring a replacement employee into the position held by the NEO should he or she elect to leave the Company.
In January 2008, PwC presented Peer Group and survey information to the Compensation Committee and advised the Compensation Committee on NEO base salaries. Mr. Sidhu recommended Mr. Chatterjees base salary and Mr. Chatterjee recommended the base salary increases for the other NEOs. The Compensation Committee approved the following increases. Mr. Harvey was promoted to senior vice president effective February 1, 2008.

(1) | Prior to May 2008, Mr. Wilson was a non-employee Director. Compensation related to his Director fees is shown in the Non-Management Directors Compensation section. Mr. Wilson became Executive Chairman in May 2008 with a base salary of $200,000. In December 2008, Mr. Wilson became CEO and President, in addition to his role as Chairman of the Board, and his base salary was increased to $500,000. |
Performance Bonus
Performance bonus targets are determined annually, at the beginning of each year, after the Compensation Committee has reviewed the benchmarking data referred to under Setting Executive Compensation Targets above. We continue to be directed by the following guiding principles approved by the Compensation Committee in early 2006 for setting the performance bonus targets for our NEOs:
| standardize the compensation programs for all NEOs to the greatest extent possible, while still driving functional and individual performance measurement; |
14
| align corporate level performance with specific group performance, so that performance bonuses would not be awarded, absent extraordinary circumstances, in the event that only a specific groups performance goals were attained or only corporate goals of the Company were attained; |
| reflect a proper mix of financial and non-financial goals; and |
| ensure the programs are structured to pay only for performance, so that bonuses would not be paid to a NEO who did not attain his or her respective performance targets and that no bonus would be paid to a NEO who did not attain at least the threshold (or minimum acceptable) level of performance the Company has established with respect to his or her respective performance targets, thereby ensuring that a significant proportion of pay for our NEOs is at risk and variable. |
As Executive Chairman, Mr. Wilsons total compensation for that position did not include a bonus component. His target bonus was added when he also became CEO and President. While still a member of the Board, Mr. Wilson did not receive Director Fees as either Executive Chairman or CEO, President and Chairman. Mr. Berrys target bonus was determined at his time of hire in 2005 based on Peer Group and market data as well as the breadth and depth of his education and experience and was included as a provision in his employment agreement. Mr. Srivastavas target bonus was designed to provide a strong performance incentive to achieve R&D results important to the growth of the Company and is also part of a legacy of other roles he has held with the Company. Mr. Harveys target bonus was based on market data at the time of his appointment to General Counsel at his previous level of vice president. No adjustment to his target bonus was made at the time of his promotion to senior vice president. In 2008, the method for determining bonus targets for NEOs varied. The Compensation Committee had determined it would not make substantial changes to standardize bonus targets at a time when NEO retention was so critical. In January 2009, NEO target bonus percentages were standardized to provide similarly situated NEOs the same target bonus percent for 2009 and later years.
The achievement criteria relative to each NEOs performance bonus target are developed annually by management, reviewed by the compensation consultants and recommended to the Compensation Committee for its approval at its January meeting. The achievement criteria are designed to drive behaviors consistent with particular corporate objectives as well as each NEOs unique role and responsibility within the Company. The Compensation Committee believes that selecting such criteria and monetarily rewarding the attainment of such objectives provides the greatest opportunity for our performance bonus program to maximize shareholder value. These criteria are subject to adjustment by the Compensation Committee during the year. Performance against these criteria is measured as of the end of the year, and the actual performance bonuses approved by the Compensation Committee are normally paid in the following February.
For 2008, the Compensation Committee approved the following performance bonus targets for the NEOs:

When the Compensation Committee adopted its guiding principles for setting the performance bonus thresholds and targets for our NEOs in early 2008, it also defined specific parameters for the approval of actual performance bonuses under the program. The Compensation Committee may:
15
| provide for a +/-30% subjective performance modifier in a NEOs performance bonus amount (other than the CEOs own performance bonus) based on the CEOs subjective assessment of the individual contribution of such NEO to the Company and attainment of individual strategic objectives. |
| limit any payout resulting from the achievement of NEOs individual strategic goal achievement as deemed to be appropriate based on overall Company financial performance. The Compensation Committee believes that this ties individual performance to the overall performance of the Company and shareholder value; and |
| cap each performance bonus at the lesser of $1 million or the individual targets as described above. The Compensation Committee believes it is important to place a known upper limit on potential payouts under the bonus program to the NEOs, so that the Company and its shareholders would be able to determine the maximum exposure under the Companys NEO performance bonus program. |

This amount had been previously communicated to all participants in conjunction with the planned close of the merger with JDA Software Group, Inc. and the planned prorata payment of these bonuses.
Equity
At its January meeting each year, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves an Equity Share Budget for the year. In January 2008 and January 2009, the Compensation Committee approved a budgeted number of shares that may be awarded in each year through Stock Options and RSUs. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves annual executive and non-executive grant guidelines as well as the guidelines for non-executive new-hire and key performer grants.
In January 2008, PwC recommended the Compensation Committee convert to granting stock awards based on a target grant date fair value approach from its current practice of granting a target number of shares and set target grant date fair values at the 50th percentile of market. PwC calculated the Black-Scholes valuation to be estimated at 55% of Fair Market Value or approximately $6.86/share. They also calculated the Black-Scholes valuation for the 2007 grants for comparative purposes. They then reviewed the Peer Group and survey data to determine their recommendation for each NEO. PwC provided the Compensation Committee with a minimum and target recommendation for each position for the Compensation Committees consideration. The Compensation Committee granted the minimum level grant for Mr. Chatterjee due to his heavily weighted base salary and bonus for 2008 and awarded the target level grants for the remainder of the NEOs.

The Compensation Committee approved the grants of Stock Options listed below from the 1995 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan to the NEOs at the next regularly-scheduled grant date, which was February 19, 2008, with the fair market value per share of the Companys common stock being equal to the closing selling price on the business day of the grant date.

The options have a maximum term of ten years measured from the Grant Date, subject to earlier termination following the NEOs cessation of service to the Company. The NEOs shall vest in their option shares under i2s Standard Vesting Schedule for Stock Option grants, which is as follows: one percent (1%) of the option shares upon grant, twenty-four percent (24%) of the option shares upon completion of the first year of service measured from the Grant Date and the balance of the option shares pro rata over a thirty-six month period thereafter.
In May 2008, the Compensation Committee awarded the Stock Options and RSUs to key employees, including the Stock Options and RSUs awarded to NEOs listed below, for retention purposes in conjunction with the naming of Mr. Wilson as Executive Chairman, Mr. Chatterjee as CEO and the ongoing SRC activities:

The Stock Options will vest according to i2s Standard Vesting Schedule for Stock Option grants.
The Compensation Committee approved on December 16, 2008 and granted on February 17, 2009 the following performance-based RSUs to Mr. Wilson and Mr. Berry.

The Compensation Committee made these grants to provide Mr. Wilson and Mr. Berry with the additional performance driven incentive to focus on the Companys client-centered and cost saving initiatives following the proposed and terminated merger with JDA Software Group, Inc. The Compensation Committees desired goal is to have an equity grant vest when the performance objectives are achieved within a two year period. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Berry must remain in the service of the Company in order to continue to have the opportunity to vest in their long term equity as long as the performance goals are met. Mr. Wilson may remain in service as a Director or an Employee in order to meet this vesting requirement.
18
The performance RSUs granted to Mr. Wilson and Mr. Berry shall vest in full upon a Change in Control or upon completion of the following as determined at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee on or before December 31, 2010.
| Selection and development of a high performing management team resulting in less involvement by the Board in operational matters; |
| Improved shareholder relations; |
| Development within the Company of a culture of teamwork; |
| Improvement in employee morale; |
| Achievement of scale and sustainability of the Company through: |
| Development of an agreed upon strategy |
| Succession planning |
| Growth of revenue and profit through acquisition, merger or the addition of a product line. |
Nonrecurring Performance RSU Grant
The Compensation Committee approved the issuance of a non-recurring performance RSU grant to each of our NEOs in February 2007, as well as other key employees, to mitigate the risk of losing these key employees in the event of a change in CEO or other strategic initiatives that the Board may consider. The Performance RSU grant was eligible to vest as to 33% of the shares on February 19, 2009, subject to the Companys Earnings per Share (EPS) as of the close of the 2008 calendar year increasing by 40% or more over the 2006 calendar year EPS. The Compensation Committee considered the following factors when reviewing the Companys EPS performance:
| GAAP EPS was $3.99 in 2008 vs. $0.82 in 2006, an increase of 487%; |
| The GAAP EPS amount included the SAP settlement payment in July 2008. Targeting Intellectual Property infringement was part of the Companys objectives and part of the overall strategy when this RSU performance grant was established; and |
| The GAAP EPS amount included the net impact of the termination fee paid by JDA Software Group, Inc. in December 2008. The Company was governed by the terms of the merger agreement with JDA Software Group, Inc. for several months of 2008 and the Companys key employees were distracted by the work involved in the acquisition. |
Based on the above factors, in January 2009, the Compensation Committee determined the performance criteria for EPS growth were met for the first tranche of the February 2007 RSU grant and one-third of the Performance RSUs would vest on February 19, 2009. Compensation cost for the vested portion of the Performance RSU award is included in the accompanying schedule.
The remaining two-thirds of the Performance RSU grant shares are scheduled to vest on February 19, 2010, subject to the Companys EPS as of the close of 2009 calendar year increasing by 60% or more over the 2006 calendar year EPS. Based on the Companys current assessment that the achievement of the performance measures required for vesting of this portion of the Performance RSU grant (GAAP EPS of $1.31) is not probable due to the Companys current expectations for 2009 GAAP EPS, the Company has not recorded compensation expense for this portion of the award in its 2008 annual financial statements. Accordingly, no compensation cost is reflected in any of the tables in the CD&A for this portion of the award
Perquisites
Generally, our philosophy is to not offer perquisites unless we are attracting a new executive, relocating a new or existing executive, or as part of an expatriate agreement. These perquisites are described in detail in the Individual NEO Compensation Detail and the Former NEOs Individual Compensation Detail sections below.
19
In 2008, the Compensation Committee approved that NEOs receive a company-paid annual physical at the Cooper Clinic in Dallas. Based on information provided by PwC, the Compensation Committee determined that this is a market-typical executive perquisite, and may actually result in reduced costs if a preventable medical condition is diagnosed early for treatment. The cost of the examination is taxable income to the NEOs. In 2008, none of the NEOs expensed annual physicals.
Retirement Plans
The only retirement plan which the Company offers is a 401(k) plan. The i2 Technologies, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan includes a 100% match of the first 3% of compensation contributed to the Plan, subject to IRS limitations. NEOs may participate under the same parameters as all other employees. The Company matching contribution for NEOs participating in the plan was: Mr. Chatterjee, $6,900; Mr. Berry, $6,900; Mr. Varia, $6,900; Mr. Srivastava, $6,723; and Mr. Harvey $3,824.
Indemnification Agreements
We have entered into indemnification agreements with all of our executive officers. We maintain directors and officers liability insurance and our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification of officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
Post-Termination Agreements and Change in Control Agreements
NEOs are entitled to receive severance payments and continuation of certain benefits upon certain terminations of employment other than for Cause (as defined in the applicable agreement). This includes terminations occurring within a certain period of time following a change in control. The Compensation Committee believes the post-termination arrangements are in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to ensure that the Company will have the continued dedication of the NEOs, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of the termination of the NEOs employment in connection with a change in control, change of CEO or other strategic initiatives that the Board or the CEO may consider. Prior to the Compensation Committee approving the NEO post-termination agreements, PwC provided Peer Group market practices and competitive factors for the Compensation Committees consideration. The agreements also set a financial cap for the Companys potential liability related to NEO severance.
On February 25, 2008, we entered into Executive Retention Agreements with all of the NEOs at the time.
Under the terms of the February 2008 Executive Retention Agreement, if the Company terminates the NEO other than for Cause (as defined in the applicable agreement), or the NEO terminates for Good Reason (as defined in the applicable agreement and in compliance with Section 409A Safe Harbor Regulations of the Code governing deferred compensation), the Company will pay the NEO one year of base salary and on-target bonus, paid in one lump sum within 60 days of termination. The NEO will also receive one year of COBRA payments, paid in one lump sum within 60 days of termination. All unvested equity awards will accelerate and become immediately exercisable in the event of the NEOs termination without Cause or if certain NEOs resign for Good Reason (as defined in the applicable document). The severance payments and benefits defined in the Executive Retention Agreements are not payable if the NEO submits his or her resignation for other than Good Reason (as defined in the applicable agreement). The above payments are limited under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code governing parachute payments, to the greater of (i) the amount of those payments which would not cause any excise tax imposed under Code Section 4999 to be payable on the payments and benefits provided, or (ii) the amount which yields the NEO the greatest after-tax amount of benefits after taking into account any excise tax imposed under Code Section 4999 on the payments and benefits provided. The Executive Retention Agreement superseded all prior employment agreements with the NEO party thereto.
20
On May 23, 2008, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Executive Retention Agreement with Mr. Chatterjee allowing him to receive severance benefits as a result of a single trigger provision and to leave the Company upon a Change in Control without the necessity of Good Reason as defined in his previous Retention Agreement.
In May 2008, we entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr. Wilson when he was named Executive Chairman. This agreement contained no post-termination benefits. In January 2009, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr. Wilson that superseded the previous Employment Agreement with him. The agreement contains the same provisions for severance payments and continuation of certain benefits upon certain terminations of employment other than for Cause or if he terminates for Good Reason as the other NEOs described above. However, Mr. Wilson has an additional provision in his agreement where he may also terminate his employment with the Company within thirty (30) days following a Change in Control and receive the severance benefits. Under the terms of the January 2009 agreement, the Company will pay Mr. Wilson one year of base salary and on-target bonus, paid in one lump sum within 60 days of termination. The NEO will also receive one year of COBRA payments, paid in one lump sum within 60 days of termination. All unvested equity awards will accelerate and become immediately exercisable in the event of the NEOs termination without Cause or the NEO resigns for Good Reason (as defined in the applicable document). The above payments are limited under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code governing parachute payments, to the greater of (i) the amount of those payments which would not cause any excise tax imposed under Code Section 4999 to be payable on the payments and benefits provided, or (ii) the amount which yields the NEO the greatest after-tax amount of benefits after taking into account any excise tax imposed under Code Section 4999 on the payments and benefits provided.
Except for Mr. Wilsons Employment Agreement, his May 2008 option to purchase 80,000 shares and the performance RSUs issued to Mr. Wilson and Mr. Berry, there are no provisions in any of the current NEOs agreements for acceleration of equity awards solely upon a Change in Control, provided the awards are assumed by the successor entity, or replaced with a cash incentive program, which preserves the Fair Market Value of the awards. Mr. Wilsons Employment Agreement provides that all of the RSU grants currently issued to him as an employee will accelerate upon a Change in Control. Mr. Wilsons grants issued while a Board member under the Automatic Grant Program of the 1995 Stock Option Plan will also accelerate upon Change in Control. Mr. Wilson has two stock option awards issued under the 1995 Plan, which do not have this provision and will not accelerate upon a Change in Control The Performance RSUs issued to Mr. Wilson and Mr. Berry on February 2009 accelerate upon a Change in Control.

In accordance with the terms of the grant, the RSUs vested with respect to one-third of the shares upon Mr. Chatterjees completion of six months of employment and the remainder vested upon his termination.
Mr. Chatterjees employment was terminated effective December 31, 2008 and the Company and Mr. Chatterjee entered into a Severance Agreement and General Release (the Severance Agreement). Pursuant to the Severance Agreement, for purposes of each employment, equity compensation or benefit agreement, plan or arrangement of the Company and its subsidiaries to which Mr. Chatterjee is a party or otherwise participates, the Company agreed to treat Mr. Chatterjees departure as a termination by the Company other than for cause (as such term is defined in any such applicable agreement, plan or arrangement). Also pursuant to the Severance Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Chatterjee (i) his regular pay through December 31, 2008, to the extent not already paid, (ii) an annual bonus for 2008 of $558,000 and (iii) a severance payment of $914,371. Furthermore, the Company agreed that 80,000 RSUs held by Mr. Chatterjee vested on the date of termination. The Severance Agreement also provides for the acceleration of vesting of Mr. Chatterjees stock option awards and provided that he will have until the earlier of the expiration of the applicable stock option award or the first anniversary of its date of termination to exercise. The Severance Agreement also provides that except as otherwise provided in the Severance Agreement, Mr. Chatterjee shall not be entitled to any payments or benefits under his Amended and Restated Executive Retention Agreement entered into effective as of May 23, 2008.
Due to regulations under Section 409A of the Code, Mr. Chatterjee will not receive any severance payments for 6 months following the termination date. At that time Mr. Chatterjee will receive $1,472,371 as payment for (i) an annual bonus for 2008 of $558,000, equal to 124% of target based on Corporate Wide Performance Factors utilized for 100% of his annual bonus calculation and (ii) a severance payment of $914,371 which equals one year of annual base salary ($450,000), one year of annual target bonus ($450,000) and 12 months of COBRA reimbursement ($14,371).
Accounting and Tax Treatment
Deductibility of Executive Compensation
As part of its role, the Compensation Committee reviews and considers the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), which provides that the Company may not deduct compensation of more than $1,000,000 that is paid to certain individuals. The Company believes that compensation paid to our NEOs under our incentive compensation plans is generally fully deductible for federal income tax purposes. However, in certain situations, the Compensation Committee may approve compensation that will not meet these requirements in order to ensure competitive levels of total compensation for its NEOs. However, based on our net operating losses and other deferred tax assets, we do not believe there will be a material financial statement impact to any amounts which are determined to be non-deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based payments in accordance with the requirements of FASB Statement 123(R).

Based on the Companys current assessment that the achievement of the performance measures required for vesting of the Performance RSU grant (GAAP EPS of $1.31) is not probable due to the Companys current expectations for 2009 GAAP EPS, the Company has not recorded compensation expense for this portion of this award in its 2008 annual financial statements and no compensation costs are reflected in any of the tables in the CD&A. |

Further, all unvested Stock Options and RSUs will fully vest. Such severance payments are subject to Section 280G(b)(2) of the IRS Code regarding parachute payments.

The employment of Mr. Chatterjee, the Companys former Chief Executive Officer was terminated effective December 31, 2008 and the Company and Mr. Chatterjee entered into the Severance Agreement. Pursuant to the Severance Agreement, for purposes of each employment, equity compensation or benefit agreement, plan or arrangement of the Company and its subsidiaries to which Mr. Chatterjee is a party or otherwise participates, the Company agreed to treat Mr. Chatterjees departure as a termination by the Company other than for cause (as such term is defined in any such applicable agreement, plan or arrangement). Also pursuant to the Severance Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Chatterjee (i) his regular pay through December 31, 2008, to the extent not already paid, (ii) an annual bonus for 2008 of $558,000 and (iii) a severance payment of $914,371. Furthermore, the Company agreed that 80,000 RSUs held by Mr. Chatterjee vested on the date of termination. The Severance Agreement also provides for the acceleration of vesting of Mr. Chatterjees stock option awards and provided that he will have until the earlier of the expiration of the applicable stock option award or the first anniversary of its date of termination to exercise. The Severance Agreement also provides that except as otherwise provided in the Severance Agreement, Mr. Chatterjee shall not be entitled to any payments or benefits under his Amended and Restated Executive Retention Agreement entered into effective as of May 23, 2008.
Non-management Directors Compensation
Cash Compensation
Our non-employee directors currently receive the following cash compensation:
| a $25,000 annual cash retainer for serving on the Board of Directors; |
| a $25,000 annual cash retainer for serving as the Chair of the Audit Committee and, for each other member, a $5,000 annual retainer for serving on the Audit Committee; |
| a $10,000 annual cash retainer for serving as the Chair of the Compensation Committee or the Nominating and Governance Committee and, for each other member, a $2,500 annual cash retainer for serving on the Compensation Committee or the Nominating and Governance Committee; |
| a one-time retainer of $10,000 for serving on the Strategic Review Committee; |
| a $2,000 fee for each regularly-scheduled quarterly and annual meeting of the Board of Directors, Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee or Strategic Review Committee attended; |
| a $1,500 fee for each special meeting of the Board of Directors, Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee or Strategic Review Committee attended; |
| a $500 fee for each meeting of the Strategic Review Committee attended telephonically; and |
| an attendance fee for each meeting of the Special Committee as agreed on a project-by-project basis. |
Beginning in 2009, the following changes were made to Board cash fees:
| the Strategic Review Committee became a standing Board Committee and the $10,000 one-time retainer was eliminated; |
| the Chair of the Strategic Review Committee will receive a $10,000 annual retainer and each other member of the Committee shall receive a $2,500 annual cash retainer; |
| a $1,500 fee will be paid for in-person attendance at any special meetings of the Board or any of its Committees; and |
35
| a $500 fee will be paid for any Board or Committee meetings attended telephonically. |
Equity
Under the current provisions of the Automatic Option Grant Program, each person who becomes a non-employee Board member is automatically granted at that time an equity award with a value equal to $175,000; half of the value as an option grant, and half as a restricted stock award. In addition, on the date of each annual stockholders meeting, each individual who continues to serve as a non-employee director will be automatically granted an award with a value equal to $125,000, provided such individual has served as a non-employee Board member for at least six months prior. Fifty percent of the value will be issued as an option grant and the remaining fifty percent will be in the form of a restricted stock award. The value of the option grant will be determined using a Black-Scholes valuation as determined by an independent consultant, and the value of the restricted stock award shall be the Fair Market Value per share on the grant date.
Each option will have an exercise price per share equal to 100% of the fair market value per share of our common stock on the grant date and a maximum term of ten years from the grant date. Each option will be immediately exercisable, but during the vesting period, we may repurchase, at the exercise price paid per share, all unvested shares held at the cessation of the directors Board service. Each option grant shall vest in a series of three equal annual installments, with the first such installment vesting one year from the option grant date.
Each restricted stock award shall vest as to 33% of the shares on the one-year anniversary of the grant date; the remaining 67% will vest two years from the grant date, provided the Board member remains in service. If the board member ceases to serve as a Board member due to death or Permanent Disability, then all unvested shares at the time subject to the restricted stock award shall immediately vest. The option and restricted stock awards will also vest in full on an accelerated basis upon certain changes in control during the period of a Board members service.
Under the Discretionary Grant Program of our 1995 Plan, our Board of Directors will determine which eligible individuals receive option grants, the time or times when those grants are to be made, the number of shares subject to each such grant, the vesting schedule (if any) to be in effect for the option grant and the maximum term for which any granted option is to remain outstanding. Each granted option will have an exercise price determined by the Board of Directors but shall in no event be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the grant date. No granted option will have a term in excess of ten years, and the option will generally become exercisable in one or more installments over the specified period of service measured from the vesting commencement date. However, one or more options may be structured so that they will be immediately exercisable for any or all of the option shares. Shares acquired under such options will be subject to repurchase by us, at the exercise price paid per share, if the optionee ceases services with the Company prior to vesting in those shares.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Board Matters
In accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, our business, property and affairs are managed under the direction of the Board of Directors. Although our directors are not involved in our day-to-day operating details, they are kept informed of our business through oral or written reports and documents provided to them regularly, as well as by operating, financial and other reports presented by our officers at meetings of the Board of Directors and committees of the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors has determined that the following directors are independent under the listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Market, on which our common stock is listed: Messrs. Bradley, Cash, Clemmer, Waterhouse, Clark and Hunter.
Our Board of Directors met 22 times during 2008 (including regularly scheduled and special meetings). During 2008, each incumbent director attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings our Board of Directors held during the period for which he has been a director and the total number of meetings held by all committees of our Board of Directors on which he served.
We have a policy of inviting the attendance of directors at annual meetings of stockholders. Messrs. Sidhu, Clemmer and McGrath attended the 2008 annual meeting of stockholders.
Committees of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors has established a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee, Equity Committee, Special Committee and a Strategic Review Committee.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is currently composed of Messrs. Clark (Chairman), Waterhouse and Hunter. The current members of the Audit Committee are independent as defined by the listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Market, on which our common stock is listed, and as that term is used in Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). The Audit Committee was established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Clark qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as that term is defined by applicable Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, and has designated Mr. Clark as the Audit Committees financial expert. The Board of Directors has also determined that Mr. Clark satisfies the financial sophistication requirements of the listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Market.
The Audit Committee met eight times in 2008. The Audit Committee has a charter that was approved by our Board of Directors, a copy of which is posted on our website. The oversight functions of the Audit Committee include, among other things:
| appointing our independent auditor; |
| reviewing the external audit plan and the results of the auditing engagement; |
| reviewing the internal audit plan and the results of the internal audits; |
| ensuring that management has maintained the reliability and integrity of our accounting policies and our financial reporting and disclosure practices; |
| reviewing the independence and performance of our internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm; and |
38
| reviewing the adequacy of our system of internal control and compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and corporate policies. |
Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee is currently composed of Messrs. Waterhouse (Chairman), Bradley and Clark. Each is independent as defined by the listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Market, on which our common stock is listed.
The Compensation Committee met seven times in 2008. The Compensation Committee develops the compensation philosophy and objectives for the Company as a whole, reviews and approves all compensation decisions related to our NEOs and senior executives and generally oversees our compensation programs. See Executive Compensation and Other MattersCompensation Discussion and AnalysisThe Compensation Committee.
The full responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are set forth in its charter, a copy of which is posted on our website.
Nominating and Governance Committee
The Nominating and Governance Committee is currently composed of Messrs. Bradley (Chairman), Hunter, Pope and Waterhouse. Each is independent as defined by the listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Market, on which our common stock is listed.
The Nominating and Governance Committee met five times in 2008. The Nominating and Governance Committee has the following responsibilities:
| establishing criteria for selecting new directors; |
| identifying, screening and recruiting new directors; |
| recommending nominees for director to the Board; and |
| recommending to the Board a set of corporate governance policies for the Company. |
The Board considers the recommendations of the Nominating and Governance Committee with respect to the nominations of directors to the Board, but otherwise retains authority over the identification of such nominees. Board candidates are considered based on various criteria, such as their strength of character, mature judgment, career specialization, relevant technical skills, diversity and the extent to which such candidate would fill a present need on the Board. The nominating and governance committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders. Any shareholder wishing to nominate a candidate for director must follow the procedures for submission of proposals set forth in the sections of this proxy statement entitled Submission of Director Nominations and Stockholder Proposals.
The full responsibilities of the Nominating and Governance Committee are set forth in its charter, a copy of which is posted on our website.
Equity Committee
In January 2009, Mr. Wilson became the sole member of the Equity Committee. The Equity Committee has separate but concurrent authority with the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors to make discretionary equity grants including, but not limited to, options and restricted stock units, from time to time under the 1995 Plan and the 2001 Plan to eligible employees excluding officers subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act which includes all NEOs.
39
The Equity Committee has the power and authority, with certain limited exceptions, to:
| select the eligible individuals who are to receive equity grants under the 1995 and 2001 Plans; |
| determine the number of shares of common stock subject to each such award (subject to the periodic corporate pool of shares authorized by the Compensation Committee and a limitation of 20,000 shares per individual each calendar year); |
| determine the exercise schedule in effect for each such equity issuance; and |
| determine the maximum term for which each option may remain outstanding. |
Special Committee
The Special Committee was composed of Messrs. Bradley, Cash, Clemmer, Waterhouse and Wilson. It was originally formed by the Board of Directors in February 2004 and was created primarily for the purpose of (i) evaluating, negotiating, authorizing and approving the terms and conditions of the settlement of class action and derivative lawsuits against the Company in 2004, including the terms and conditions pursuant to which shares of our common stock would be sold to Mr. Sidhu and a former executive of the Company to fund a portion of such settlement, and (ii) evaluating and recommending to the Board of Directors the authorization and approval of the sale of Series B preferred stock to R2 Investments, LDC in 2004. The Special Committee consisting of Messrs. Bradley, Cash, Clemmer, Waterhouse and Wilson, did not meet in 2008. The Special Committee has been terminated.
Strategic Review Committee
On October 16, 2007, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution to create a Strategic Review Committee. The Strategic Review Committee is currently comprised of Messrs. Clemmer (Chair), Hunter and Waterhouse. The purpose of the Strategic Review Committee is to consider and evaluate the merits of the various strategic options available to the Company to enhance shareholder value (the Value Enhancement Options), including without limitation (i) changes to the Companys business model and operations, (ii) actions or transactions intended to enhance the value or utilization of the Companys existing assets (including the Companys intellectual property and net operating loss carry forwards), (iv) joint ventures or strategic partnerships, (v) selective acquisitions, dispositions or other capital transactions and (vi) a merger, sale or other extraordinary business transaction involving the Company. The Strategic Review Committee met 45 times during 2008.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation.
At different times during 2008, our Compensation Committee included Messrs. Bradley, Clemmer and Cash and it is currently comprised of Messrs. Waterhouse, Bradley and Clark. None of the members of the Compensation Committee during 2008 was an officer or employee, or former officer or employee, of the Company or any of our subsidiaries during 2008. No member of the Compensation Committee during 2008 had a relationship requiring disclosure by us under any paragraph of Item 404 of Regulation S-K. During 2008, no executive officer of the Company served as a member of the board of directors or as a member of the compensation committee of another entity one of whose executive officers served as a member of the Companys Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.
Communication with the Board of Directors
Stockholders may communicate with the Board of Directors by sending a letter to i2 Technologies, Inc. Board of Directors, c/o Office of the General Counsel, 11701 Luna Road, Dallas, Texas 75234. The Office of the General Counsel will review the correspondence and forward it to the Chair of the appropriate committee or to any individual director or directors to whom the communication is directed, unless the communication is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal, does not reasonably relate to i2 or its business, or is similarly inappropriate. The Office of the General Counsel has the authority to discard or disregard any inappropriate communications or to take other appropriate actions with respect to any such inappropriate communications.

Submission of Director Nominations
Stockholders may propose nominees for consideration by the Board of Directors by submitting the names, appropriate biographical information and qualifications in writing to: John Harvey, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, i2 Technologies, Inc., 11701 Luna Road, Dallas, Texas 75234. In order to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement and form of proxy for the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2010, the name of the proposed nominee and the supporting documentation must be received by our Company by the date set forth in the section of this proxy statement entitled Stockholder Proposals.
Director nomination proposals must be in writing and must include (a) the name and address of the nominating stockholder, and the name and address of the person or persons to be nominated, (b) a representation that the nominating stockholder is a holder of record of stock of our Company entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice, (c) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the nominating stockholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the nominating stockholder, (d) the nominees written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected, and (e) any information regarding the nominee that is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act to be included in a proxy statement relating to the election of directors. Candidates recommended by our stockholders are evaluated on the same basis as other candidates (other than directors standing for re-election) recommended by our directors, executive officers, third party search firms or other sources.
The minimum qualifications, skills, and attributes that the Board of Directors looks for in nominees may include the following: (a) integrity, competence and judgment essential to effective decision making, (b) ability and willingness to commit the necessary time and energy to prepare for, attend and participate in meetings of the Board and one or more of its standing committees, (c) freedom from other outside involvements that would materially interfere with the individuals responsibilities as a director of our Company, (d) background and experience that complements or supplements the background and experience of other Board members, (e) freedom from interests that would present the appearance of being adverse to, or in conflict with, the interests of our Company and (f) a proven record of accomplishment through demonstrated leadership in business, technology, education, government service, finance, manufacturing or other relevant experiences that would tend to enhance Board effectiveness.
The evaluation process may include a comprehensive background and reference check, a series of personal interviews by, at a minimum, the Chairman of the Board, and a thorough review by the Board of the nominees qualifications and other relevant characteristics, taking into consideration the criteria set forth above.
Director nominees will be recommended for the Boards selection by a majority of the independent directors in accordance with the listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Market. If the Board of Directors accepts a recommendation for a director nominee, the form of our proxy solicited will include the name of the director nominee.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
In June 2003, we adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applies to, among others, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who is also our principal accounting officer. The full text of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available at our investor relations web site, http://www.i2.com/investor. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics generally prohibits conflicts of interest and related party transactions unless prior written approval has been obtained from the Company (which, depending on the employee or executive involved and the circumstances of the conflict or related party transaction, would require approval of our Board of Directors or an appropriate committee of the Board). We intend to disclose any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer on our investor relations web site.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on our review of the copies of the forms furnished to us or written representations from the reporting persons that no reports were required, we believe that, during and with respect to 2008, all of our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company reviews all relationships and transactions in which the Company and its directors and executive officers or their immediate family members participate to determine whether such persons have a direct or indirect material interest. The Companys legal staff is primarily responsible for the development and implementation of processes and controls to obtain information from the Directors and executive officers with respect to related person transactions and for then determining, based on the facts and circumstances, whether the Company or a related person has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction. As required under SEC rules, transactions that are determined to be directly or indirectly material to the Company or a related person are disclosed in the Companys proxy statement. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews and approves or ratifies any related person transaction.
On an annual basis, each director and executive officer completes a Directors and Officers Questionnaire, which requires disclosure of any transactions with the Company in which he or she, or any member of his or her immediate family, has a direct or indirect material interest. The Companys legal staff reviews these Questionnaires and discusses any related-party transaction disclosed therein with the Audit Committee.
Other than as described under the heading Executive Compensation and as described below, since the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Company has not been a party to any transaction, proposed transaction, or series of transactions in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which, to our knowledge, any of the following persons had, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest: any director or officer of the Company, any nominee for election as a director of the Company; any beneficial owner of more than five percent of any class of the Companys voting securities; or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing person.
On January 1, 2009, Richard L. Clemmer, an outside director, became CEO of NXP Semiconductors. NXP is a customer, and has purchased maintenance and consulting services in each of the last 3 years. In the ordinary course of business, during 2008, NXP purchased from i2 approximately $1,600,000 of such services.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
The following is the report of the Audit Committee with respect to our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for that year.
Pursuant to a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee oversees the Companys financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. The Audit Committees duties and responsibilities are more fully described in its charter, a copy of which is posted on our website. Management is responsible for the Companys financial reporting process, including the systems of internal accounting and financial controls, and for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Companys independent registered public accounting firm, Grant Thornton, LLP, is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements and expressing an opinion on those financial statements based on their audit.
The Audit Committee met ten times in 2008. The oversight functions of the Audit Committee include, among other things, (i) appointing our independent registered public accounting firm, (ii) reviewing the external audit plan and the results of the auditing engagement, (iii) reviewing the internal audit plan and the results of the internal audits, (iv) ensuring that management has maintained the reliability and integrity of our accounting policies and our financial reporting and disclosure practices, (v) reviewing the independence and performance of our internal and external auditors, and (vi) reviewing the adequacy of our system of internal control and compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and corporate policies.
We have met and held discussions with management and Grant Thornton LLP. We reviewed and discussed with our management the Companys audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. In addition, we discussed with Grant Thornton LLP the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communications with Audit Committees. Also, we have received the written disclosures from Grant Thornton LLP required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountants communications with the audit committee concerning independence and have discussed with Grant Thornton LLP its independence from the Company.
Based upon the aforementioned discussions and disclosures, we recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, for filing with the SEC.

PROPOSAL 2
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee has appointed Grant Thornton LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Company to audit our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.
We are asking our stockholders to ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. Although stockholder ratification of the appointment is not required, the board of directors is submitting the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice.
Even if the appointment is ratified, the audit committee may in its discretion select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of i2 and our stockholders. If the appointment is not ratified by our stockholders, the audit committee will reconsider the appointment. Notwithstanding its selection, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may hire a new independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee believes that such a change would be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.
The following table presents fees for professional audit services rendered by Grant Thornton LLP for the audit of the Companys annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008.
