i2 Announces the Acquisition of Knowledge Computing Corporation

i2's Intelligence‐Led Operations Platform with KCC's COPLINK® to Confront Sophisticated Criminal and Terrorist Threats Facing the World

McLean,VA—July2,2009— i2, the premier global provider of intelligence and investigation management software, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to merge with Knowledge Computing Corporation (KCC), makers of the award winning analysis software COPLINK®.

Prior to the merger, both i2 and KCC were independently solid companies and now have joined together to create an even stronger entity. Since 1998, Tucson based KCC has provided its technology‐based crime‐fighting product COPLINK® to thousands of leading edge law enforcement agencies for crime‐fighting operations nationwide. Within this past quarter, KCC continued to successfully build out its law enforcement footprint throughout the states of California and North Carolina. In addition, they expanded the capabilities of COPLINK® with the addition of a new Facial Recognition module.

i2 continues to stay ahead of the technology curve having launched i2 Analyst’s Notebook 8, which is a part of the i2 Intelligence‐Led Operations Platform — a powerful new analytical and visualization software platform enabling law enforcement, government, military, intelligence and commercial organizations to proactively solve, deter, prevent, predict and disrupt the world’s most sophisticated criminal and terrorist threats.

The new company will have 350 global employees and support a combined 4,500 public and private sector clients in 149 countries. Robert Griffin, formerly CEO of KCC, will serve as CEO of the newly combined company and will lead the existing i2 senior management team. “The merger between i2 and KCC not only strengthens business operations across core markets but, more importantly, is one that we believe will spur tremendous innovation that benefits our global customer base,” notes Griffin, who joined KCC in 2002. “With i2’s proven track record delivering intelligence analysis and visualization solutions to public safety, military, national security and commercial organizations coupled with KCC’s unmatched experience serving the law enforcement market, we believe the newly combined firm is ideally positioned to meet the growing demand for solutions that address an increasingly complex global threat environment.”

The transaction strategically aligns the two organizations’ complementary global resources and furthers i2’s mission to deliver innovative software solutions that support intelligence‐led operations across public safety, military, national security and commercial organizations. Under terms of the merger agreement, the new entity will be called i2 and continue to have primary operations in the United Kingdom (Cambridge) and the United States (McLean, VA, and Tucson, AZ).
