                                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 a Special Meeting of
Stockholders to be held on Tuesday, November 28, 2000 at 2:00 p.m. (Central
Time), and at any adjournment or postponement thereof at the Omni Hotel at Park
West, 1590 Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway, Dallas, Texas. These proxy materials will
be mailed to stockholders of record beginning on or about November 3, 2000.


                               PURPOSE OF MEETING

     The specific proposal to be considered and acted upon at this meeting is
summarized in the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders. The
proposal is 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 the
Internet.


     We have fixed October 19, 2000 as the record date for determining those
stockholders who are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, this meeting. At the
close of business on the record date, we had 200,524,660 outstanding shares of
our common stock, par value $.00025 per share. The presence, in person or by
proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of our outstanding common
stock entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum at this meeting. Each
of our stockholders is entitled to one vote for each share of our common stock
held by that stockholder as of the record date. If a choice as to the matters
coming before the special 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
proposal described in the Notice of Special Meeting and in this proxy statement.


     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 in person at the meeting.


     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) are counted for purposes of determining the presence or
absence of a quorum for the transaction of business.


     As of September 30, 2000, our directors and executive officers beneficially
owned an aggregate of approximately 68,100,000 shares of our common stock, not
including shares of common stock issuable upon

<PAGE>   5

exercise of outstanding stock options, constituting approximately 34.1% of the
shares of common stock outstanding. It is expected that such directors and
executive officers will vote or direct the vote 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 proposal described in this proxy statement.
Nonetheless, the approval of the proposal is not assured.

                                    PROPOSAL

         APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION


     Our present capital structure authorizes 500,000,000 shares of common stock
and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Board of Directors believes that
this capital structure is inadequate for our present and future needs.
Therefore, the Board of Directors has approved the amendment of our Restated
Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of
common stock from 500,000,000 to 2,000,000,000 shares. The Board of Directors
believes this capital structure more appropriately reflects our present and
future needs and recommends such amendment to the stockholders for adoption. The
undesignated preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more
series with such rights, preferences and privileges as may be determined by the
Board of Directors. On October 19, 2000, 200,524,660 shares of common stock and
no shares of preferred stock were outstanding. The proposed amendment of the
Restated Certificate was approved by the Board on October 17, 2000, subject to
stockholder approval at the Special Meeting.


PURPOSE OF AUTHORIZING ADDITIONAL COMMON STOCK


     Authorizing an additional 1,500,000,000 shares of common stock would give
the Board of Directors the authority, without further action of the
stockholders, to issue such common stock from time to time as the Board of
Directors deems necessary. The Board of Directors believes it is necessary to
have the ability to issue such additional shares of common stock for general
corporate purposes. Potential uses of the additional authorized shares may
include acquisition transactions, equity financings, stock dividends or
distributions, in each case without further action by the stockholders, unless
such stockholder action is specifically required by applicable law or the rules
of the Nasdaq National Market or any stock exchange on which our securities may
then be listed. Other than a stock dividend of one share of common stock for
each share of common stock outstanding on the specified record date (as
described below), we have no current plans to issue such additional authorized
shares of common stock.



     The proposed increase in the authorized number of shares of common stock
could have a number of effects on stockholders depending upon the exact nature
and circumstances of any actual issuances of authorized but unissued shares. The
increase could have an anti-takeover effect, in that additional shares could be
issued (within the limits imposed by applicable law) in one or more transactions
that could make a change in control or takeover of i2 more difficult. For
example, we could issue additional shares to dilute the stock ownership or
voting rights of persons seeking to obtain control of i2. Similarly, the
issuance of additional shares to certain persons allied with our management
could have the effect of making it more difficult to remove our current
management by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking
to cause such removal. This proposal is not being presented with the intent that
it be utilized as a type of anti-takeover device.


     Stockholders do not have any preemptive or similar rights to subscribe for
or purchase any additional shares of common stock that may be issued in the
future. Therefore, future issuances of common stock may, depending on the
circumstances, have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share, voting power
and other interests of the existing stockholders.

     On October 17, 2000, the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one split of
our common stock, to be effected as a dividend of one additional share of common
stock for each share of common stock outstanding on the specified record date,
subject to approval by the stockholders of an increase in the number of
authorized shares of common stock. Because we currently do not have sufficient
authorized but unissued shares to double the number of authorized shares of
common stock, the proposed stock split will not occur unless this proposal

                                        2
<PAGE>   6


is approved. If this proposal is approved at the Special Meeting, the record
date for the proposed stock split is expected to be November 28, 2000 and the
dividend shares are expected to be distributed on December 5, 2000. None of the
share-related data in this Proxy Statement is adjusted to take into account the
proposed stock split.


STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL


     The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of our
common stock is required for approval of the amendment to the Restated
Certificate. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the
tabulation of votes cast on this proposal and will have the same effect as
negative votes. If this proposal is approved at the Special Meeting, the
proposed amendment would become effective upon filing a certificate of amendment
to the Restated Certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware, which
filing is expected to take place shortly after such stockholder approval.


     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE
AMENDMENT OF THE RESTATED CERTIFICATE AUTHORIZING 1,500,000,000 ADDITIONAL
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, AND PROXIES EXECUTED AND RETURNED WILL BE SO VOTED
UNLESS CONTRARY INSTRUCTIONS ARE INDICATED THEREON.

ownership of our common stock as of September 30, 2000 by (1) each person who is

     Percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 199,855,693 shares of our
     common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2000. In computing the number

     days following September 30, 2000 are deemed outstanding. However, these
     shares are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the
     percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated in the
     footnotes to this table, the persons and entities named in the table have
     sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares
     beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable.
