ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
- On October 25, 2000, JDA Software Group, Inc. ("JDA") announced that
its board of directors authorized a stock buy-back program of up to two
million shares of its outstanding common stock. Under the share
buy-back program, JDA may periodically repurchase shares on the open
market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated
transactions from time to time over the next twelve months. JDA's
management will make purchase decisions based upon market conditions
and other considerations. The repurchased shares will be held as
treasury shares and used in part to reduce the dilution from JDA's
stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans. JDA had
approximately 24,550,000 shares outstanding as of October 24, 2000.
JDA's press release announcing the share buy-back program is attached
