Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountants
i2 Technologies ("i2" or the "Company") announced today that it plans to pursue
a strategic consulting agreement with Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") to jointly
market and deliver i2's electronic Business Process Optimization ("eBPO")
solutions worldwide. Given the potential conflict of interests this proposed
new agreement could present, E&Y has resigned their role as i2's independent
audit firm effective April 16, 1999.
E&Y's report on the Company's financial statements during the past two years
contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the Company's two most recent years and subsequent interim periods
preceding the date hereof, there was no disagreement with E&Y on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to E&Y's satisfaction,
would have caused E&Y to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement in connection with its report. In addition, none of the
"reportable events" described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred
with respect to the Company during the two most recent fiscal years and the
subsequent interim periods to the date hereof.
Effective April 16, 1999, i2 has engaged Arthur Andersen LLP to audit its
consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1999.
The engagement of Arthur Andersen LLP as the Company's auditors has been
approved by i2's Audit Committee.
i2 has requested that E&Y furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities
and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above
statements. Such letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.
Item 7.
Exhibit 16.1 Letter from Ernst & Young dated April 16, 1999.
