Important Additional Information for Investors and Security Holders

 

The tender offers are being made for the outstanding shares and warrants of ILOG. This communication is for informational purposes only and is not an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell any ILOG shares or warrants. The solicitation and the offer to buy the shares and warrants of ILOG are being made only pursuant to an offer to purchase and related materials that IBM and its subsidiary have filed with the AMF (in particular the Note d’Information) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (on Schedule TO). ILOG has filed with the AMF a Note en Réponse and with the SEC a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the tender offer.

 

ILOG shareholders and warrant holders and other investors should read carefully the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO and the Note d’Information filed by IBM and the Schedule 14D-9 and the Note en Réponse filed by ILOG because these documents contain important information, including the terms and conditions of the tender offer. ILOG shareholders and warrant holders and other investors are able to obtain copies of these tender offer materials and any other documents filed with the AMF from the AMF’s website (http://www.amf-france.org.) or with the SEC from the SEC’s website (http://www.sec.gov), in both cases without charge. Such materials filed by IBM and ILOG are available for free at IBM’s web site (http://www.ibm.com), and at ILOG’s web site (http://www.ilog.com), respectively.

 

ILOG shareholders and warrant holders and other investors are urged to read carefully all tender offer materials prior to making any decisions with respect to the tender offers.

 

The offers are not being made nor will any tender of shares or warrants be accepted from or on behalf of holders in any jurisdiction in which the making of the offers or the acceptance of any tender of shares or warrants therein would not be made in compliance with laws of such jurisdiction.
