PROXY STATEMENT
----------------
November 6, 2000
The accompanying proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of
Interwoven, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company" or "Interwoven"), for
use at a Special Meeting of Stockholders of the Company to be held at 1195 West
Fremont Avenue, Sunnyvale, California, on Tuesday, December 12, 2000 at
10:00 a.m., Pacific time (the "Meeting"). This Proxy Statement and the
accompanying form of proxy were first mailed to stockholders on or about
November 7, 2000.
Record Date; Quorum
Only holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on
October 18, 2000 (the "Record Date") will be entitled to vote at the Meeting.
The presence at the Meeting (in person or by proxy) of a majority of the shares
outstanding on the Record Date will constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business. At the close of business on the Record Date, we had 49,506,001 shares
of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.
Voting Rights; Required Vote
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held as
of the Record Date. In the event that a broker, bank, custodian, nominee or
other record holder of our common stock indicates on a proxy that it does not
have discretionary authority to vote certain shares on a particular matter (a
"broker non-vote"), then those shares will not be considered present and
entitled to vote with respect to that matter, although they will be counted in
determining whether or not a quorum is present at the Meeting. All votes will
be tabulated by the inspector of elections appointed for the Meeting, who will
separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-
votes on each proposal.
Approval of Proposal No. 1 below requires the affirmative vote of the
majority of all outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote.
Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards a quorum and have the
same effect as negative votes with regard to this proposal.
Approval of Proposal No. 2 below requires the affirmative vote of the
majority of the shares of common stock present in person or represented by
proxy at the Meeting that are voted for or against the proposal. Abstentions
and broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the vote with regard to
this proposal.
Voting of Proxies
The proxy accompanying this Proxy Statement is solicited on behalf of the
Board of Directors of Interwoven (the "Board") for use at the Meeting. Please
complete, date and sign the accompanying proxy card and promptly return it in
the enclosed envelope or otherwise mail it to Interwoven. All signed, returned
proxies that are not revoked will be voted in accordance with the instructions
contained therein; however, returned signed proxies that give no instructions
as to how they should be voted on a particular proposal at the Meeting will be
counted as votes "for" such proposal.
In the event that sufficient votes in favor of the proposals are not
received by the date of the Meeting, the persons named as proxies may propose
one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitations
1
<PAGE>
of proxies. Any such adjournment would require the affirmative vote of the
majority of the outstanding shares present in person or represented by proxy at
the Meeting.
We will pay our expenses of soliciting proxies to be voted at the Meeting.
Following the original mailing of the proxies and other soliciting materials,
we and our agents may also solicit proxies by mail, telephone, telegraph or in
person. Following the original mailing of the proxies and other soliciting
materials, we will request that brokers, custodians, nominees and other record
holders of our common stock forward copies of the proxy and other soliciting
materials to persons for whom they hold shares of common stock and request
authority for the exercise of proxies. In such cases, we, upon the request of
the record holders, will reimburse such holders for their reasonable expenses.
Skinner & Co. will assist the Company in obtaining the return of proxies at an
estimated cost to the Company of $7,500.
Revocability of Proxies
Any person signing a proxy in the form accompanying this Proxy Statement has
the power to revoke it prior to the Meeting or at the Meeting prior to the vote
pursuant to the proxy. A proxy may be revoked by a writing delivered to us
stating that the proxy is revoked, by a subsequent proxy that is signed by the
person who signed the earlier proxy and is presented at the Meeting prior to
the vote, or by attendance at the Meeting and voting in person. Please note,
however, that if a stockholder's shares are held of record by a broker, bank or
other nominee and that stockholder wishes to vote at the Meeting, the
stockholder must bring to the Meeting a letter from the broker, bank or other
nominee confirming such stockholder's beneficial ownership of the shares and
that such broker, bank or other nominee is not voting such shares at the
Meeting.
Assumptions
Unless otherwise indicated, all stock prices and amounts contained in this
Proxy Statement have been adjusted to reflect the effects of the Company's two-
for-three reverse stock split in October 1999, the conversion of preferred
stock into common stock in October 1999 and the two-for-one stock split in July
2000.
PROPOSAL NO. 1
AMENDMENT OF RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
On October 17, 2000, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the
Company's Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, subject to
stockholder approval, to increase the authorized number of shares of common
stock of the Company from 100,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value per share, to
500,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value per share. The number of authorized shares
of preferred stock will remain unchanged at 5,000,000 shares.
At October 18, 2000, approximately 49,506,001 shares of Interwoven common
stock were issued and outstanding, approximately 13,022,328 shares were
reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding options and approximately
60,554 shares were reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants.
Thus, as of that date, the Company had fewer than 50,000,000 shares of common
stock available for issuance. In addition, as of that date approximately
5,750,553 shares of Interwoven common stock were available for purchase or
grant under the Company's existing stock and stock option plans. In connection
with the Company's acquisition of Neonyoyo, Inc. the Company issued
approximately 1,087,204 shares of common stock and assumed options to purchase
approximately 16,929 shares of common stock. The impact on outstanding shares
and options of the Neonyoyo acquisition is reflected in the numbers above.
In addition, the Company recently acquired Metacode Technologies, Inc. and
Ajuba Solutions, Inc. In connection with these acquisitions, the Company issued
approximately 1,089,453 shares and 205,984 shares, respectively, and assumed
options to purchase approximately 457,738 shares and 109,360 shares,
respectively.
2
<PAGE>
The Company completed both acquisitions by issuing shares that were authorized
in the Company's certificate of incorporation and available for issuance. The
acquisitions of Metacode and Ajuba are not contingent upon stockholder approval
of this Proposal.
The proposed increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock
from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 would result in additional shares being
available for, among other things, issuance in a two-for-one stock split to be
effected in the form of a stock dividend, to the Company's stockholders of
record on December 13, 2000 that has been approved by the Board subject to
stockholder approval of this Proposal. No additional stockholder approval is
required for the stock split. These additional shares of common stock would
also be available for issuance from time to time for other corporate purposes,
such as acquisitions of companies or assets, sales of stock or securities
convertible into stock and issuances pursuant to stock options or other
employee benefit plans. The Company currently has no specific plans,
arrangements or understandings with respect to the issuance of these additional
shares, except for the proposed stock dividend, and no other change in the
rights of stockholders is proposed. The Company believes that the availability
of the additional shares will provide it with the flexibility to meet business
needs as they arise, to take advantage of favorable opportunities and to
respond to a changing corporate environment.
While it is not the purpose of this proposal to discourage, delay or prevent
takeover attempts, it is possible that it may have that effect, alone or in
combination with other provisions of our certificate of incorporation or
bylaws. For example, if there is an unsolicited tender offer for the Company's
outstanding shares, having more shares available for issuance might make that
tender offer more difficult if the Company were to issue shares to third
parties. We have various other mechanisms in place to discourage takeover
attempts, which might tend to suppress our stock price. Provisions of our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws that may discourage, delay or prevent a
change in control include:
. we are authorized to issue "blank check" preferred stock, which could be
issued by our board of directors to increase the number of outstanding
shares and thwart a takeover attempt;
. we provide for the election of only one-third of our directors at each
annual meeting of stockholders, which slows turnover on the board of
directors;
. we limit who may call special meetings of stockholders;
. we prohibit stockholder action by written consent, so all stockholder
actions must be taken at a meeting of our stockholders; and
. we require advance notice for nominations for election to the board of
directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by
stockholders at stockholder meetings.
If the stockholders approve the amendment, the Company will file a
Certificate of Amendment of its Third Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware reflecting
the increase in authorized shares. Shortly thereafter, without further
stockholder action, the Company intends to effect the two-for-one stock split
on its common stock in the form of a stock dividend (record date expected to be
December 13, 2000), although the Board, in its sole discretion, may postpone or
terminate the proposed stock dividend. The stock split will not be effected if
the proposed increase in the authorized common stock is not approved.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the amendment to the
Company's Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase
the number of
shares of common stock authorized to be issued by the Company.

PROPOSAL NO. 2
AMENDMENT OF 1999 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
Stockholders are being asked to approve an amendment to Interwoven's 1999
Equity Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan") to increase the number of shares
of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by 4,000,000 shares, from
approximately 9,800,000 shares to approximately 13,800,000 shares.
The Board believes that the increase in the number of shares reserved for
issuance under the Incentive Plan is in the best interests of Interwoven
because of the continuing need to provide stock options to attract, retain and
motivate quality employees and remain competitive in the industry. Granting
equity incentives under the Incentive Plan plays an important role in our
efforts to attract, retain and motivate employees of outstanding ability.
Competition for skilled engineering, sales and consulting personnel and other
key employees in the Internet software development industry is intense and the
use of significant stock options for retention and motivation of such personnel
is pervasive in the high technology industries. The Board believes that the
additional reserve of shares with respect to which equity incentives may be
granted will provide us with adequate flexibility to ensure that we can
continue to meet those goals and facilitate the expansion of our employee base.
The Board approved the proposed amendment on October 17, 2000, subject to
stockholder approval. A summary of the principal provisions of the Incentive
Plan, assuming stockholder approval of the amendment, follows below.
Incentive Plan History
In July 1999 the Board adopted the Incentive Plan, and in September 1999 our
stockholders approved the Incentive Plan. The Board reserved 5,800,000 shares
for issuance under the Incentive Plan, in addition to any authorized shares not
issued or subject to outstanding grants under the 1996 Stock Option Plan and
the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the "Prior Plans") on October 7, 1999, the date of
our initial public offering, and any shares issued under the Prior Plans that
are forfeited or repurchased by us or that are issuable upon exercise of
options granted under the Prior Plans that expire or become unexercisable for
any reason without having been exercised in full. In April 2000, the Board and
stockholders approved an amendment to the Incentive Plan whereby the number of
shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder were increased by
4,000,000 shares from 5,800,000 to 9,800,000. If any option or other award
terminates without being exercised or issued, then the shares covered by the
terminated option or award generally are available under the Incentive Plan for
future grants or awards. The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to offer eligible
persons an opportunity to participate in Interwoven's future performance
through awards of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options (at not
less than 85% of fair market value), restricted stock awards and stock bonuses.
The Incentive Plan serves as the successor to our Prior Plans which terminated
at the time of our initial public offering.
From the inception of the Incentive Plan until September 30, 2000, options
to purchase an aggregate of 9,638,806 shares of common stock were granted under
the Incentive Plan. Officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table below
were granted no options under the Incentive Plan. Our executive officers as of
September 30, 2000 as a group (8 persons) were granted options to purchase a
total of 208,000 shares under the Incentive Plan and the current directors who
are not executive officers as a group (5 persons) were granted options to
purchase a total of 80,000 shares under the Incentive Plan. No options were
granted to any associate of any executive officer or director of Interwoven,
and no other person received 5% or more of such options.
In May 2000, the Board adopted Interwoven's 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, as
amended September 2000 (the "2000 Plan"), pursuant to which options to purchase
up to 6,000,000 shares may be granted on terms substantially the same as those
under the Incentive Plan. Through September 30, 2000, options to purchase an
aggregate of 1,960,000 shares of common stock were granted under the 2000 Plan.
Officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table below were granted no
options under the 2000 Plan. Our executive officers as a group as of September
20, 2000 (8 persons) were granted options to purchase a total of 40,000 shares
under the 2000 Plan and the current directors who are not executive officers as
a group (5 persons) were granted no
4
<PAGE>
options under the 2000 Plan. No options were granted to any associate of any
executive officer or director of Interwoven, and no other person received 5% or
more of such options.
Shares Under the Incentive Plan
The shares available for issuance under the Incentive Plan are authorized
but unissued shares of common stock. The Board has reserved an aggregate of
13,800,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Incentive Plan. In
addition, any shares remaining unissued under the Prior Plans on the effective
date of the Incentive Plan, including any shares not issued or issuable upon
exercise of options granted pursuant to the Prior Plans that are forfeited or
repurchased by us or that expire or become unexercisable for any reason without
having been exercised in full, are no longer available for distribution under
the Prior Plans but are available for distribution under the Incentive Plan.
Shares that will again be available for grant and issuance under the Incentive
Plan include: (a) shares that are subject to issuance upon exercise of options
that cease to be subject to these options for reasons other than option
exercise; (b) shares issued pursuant to the exercise of awards that are
subsequently forfeited or repurchased at the original purchase price; (c)
shares subject to awards of restricted stock that are subsequently forfeited or
repurchased at the original purchase price; and (d) shares that are subject to
awards that otherwise terminate without shares being issued. The number of
shares covered by the Incentive Plan is subject to proportional adjustment to
reflect stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, subdivisions,
combinations and other similar events.
Eligibility
Employees, officers, directors, consultants, independent contractors and
advisors of Interwoven (and of its parent or any subsidiaries) are eligible to
receive awards under the Incentive Plan (the "Participants"). No Participant is
eligible to receive more than 1,000,000 shares of common stock in any calendar
year under the Incentive Plan, other than new employees of Interwoven
(including directors and officers who are also new employees) who are eligible
to receive up to a maximum of 1,500,000 shares of common stock in the calendar
year in which they commence their employment with us. As of September 30, 2000,
approximately 630 persons were eligible to participate in the Incentive Plan,
24,100 shares had been issued upon exercise of options and 9,225,706 shares
were subject to outstanding options. As of that date, 937,083 shares were
available for future grant pursuant to the Incentive Plan, after taking into
account the shares originally reserved for issuance under the Prior Plans that
have become available for distribution under the Incentive Plan. The closing
price of our common stock on the Nasdaq National Market was $107.00 per share
on October 17, 2000, the last trading day before the Record Date.
Administration
The Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, the
members of which are appointed by the Board (the "Committee"), or by the Board
acting as the Committee. The Committee currently consists of Kathryn Gould and
Anthony Zingale, each of whom are "non-employee directors," as defined in
Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), and
"outside directors," as defined pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Internal
Revenue Code (the "Code").
Except for automatic grants to non-employee directors, the Committee
determines the persons who are to receive awards, the number of shares subject
to each award and the terms and conditions of awards, subject to the terms of
the Incentive Plan. Except for automatic grants to each eligible director who
is not our employee, the Committee also has the authority to construe and
interpret any of the provisions of the Incentive Plan or any awards granted
thereunder.
Stock Options
The Incentive Plan permits the granting of options that are Incentive Stock
Options ("ISOs") that qualify under Section 422 of the Code or Nonqualified
Stock Options ("NQSOs"). ISOs may be granted only to employees (including
officers and directors who are also employees) of Interwoven or any parent or
subsidiary
5
<PAGE>
of Interwoven. The option exercise price for each ISO share must be no less
than 100% of the "fair market value" (as defined in the Incentive Plan) of a
share of common stock at the time of grant. The per share exercise price of an
ISO granted to a 10% stockholder must be no less than 110% of the fair market
value of a share of common stock at the time of grant. The option exercise
price for each NQSO share must be no less than 85% of the fair market value of
a share of common stock at the time of grant. Options granted under the
Incentive Plan have a maximum term of ten years. Awards granted under the
Incentive Plan may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime
of the optionee only by the optionee (unless otherwise determined by the
compensation committee and set forth in the award agreement with respect to
awards that are not ISOs).
The exercise price of options granted under the Incentive Plan may be paid
as expressly approved by the Committee and as permitted by law at the time of
grant:
(1) in cash (by check);
(2) by cancellation of indebtedness of Interwoven to the Participant;
(3) by surrender of shares of common stock owned by the Participant for at
least six months or obtained in the public market and having a fair
market value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise
price of the option;
(4) by tender of a full recourse promissory note;
(5) by waiver of compensation due to or accrued by the Participant for
services rendered;
(6) by a "same-day sale" commitment from the Participant and a National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") broker;
(7) by a "margin" commitment from the Participant and an NASD broker; or
(8) by any combination of the foregoing.
Options granted under the Incentive Plan generally may be exercised for a
period of time after the termination of the optionee's employment by Interwoven
or by any of its subsidiaries. Options will generally terminate immediately
upon termination for cause.
Restricted Stock Awards
The Committee may grant Participants awards to purchase restricted stock
either in addition to, or in tandem with, other awards under the Incentive
Plan, under such terms, conditions and restrictions as the Committee may
determine. The purchase price for restricted stock will be determined by the
Committee. The purchase price for such awards will be determined by the
Committee on the date of the award (and in the case of an award granted to a
10% stockholder, the purchase price shall be 100% of fair market value) and can
be paid for in any of the forms of consideration listed in items (1) through
(5), or by any combination of such forms of consideration, in "Stock Options"
above, as are approved by the Committee at the time of grant. The Company has
not granted any restricted stock awards under the Incentive Plan.
Stock Bonuses
The Committee may grant Participants awards of stock bonuses either in
addition to, or in tandem with, other awards under the Incentive Plan, under
such terms, conditions and restrictions as the Committee may determine. During
1999 and the nine months ended September 30, 2000, no shares were issued
pursuant to stock bonus awards.
Automatic Grants to Directors
Under the Incentive Plan, each director who is not our employee is
automatically granted an option to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock under
the Incentive Plan, when he or she first becomes a member of
6
<PAGE>
the Board of Directors. Subsequently, each non-employee director is
automatically granted an additional option to purchase 10,000 shares of common
stock under the Incentive Plan following each annual meeting of stockholders,
if such member has been continuously serving as a director for a period of one
year or more since becoming a member of the Board. Such options are granted
with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on
the date of grant. All options granted to directors who are not are employees
are 100% vested and immediately exercisable.
Mergers, Consolidations, Change of Control
In the event of a merger, consolidation, dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, the sale of substantially all of the assets of Interwoven or any other
similar corporate transaction as defined in the Incentive Plan, the successor
corporation may assume, replace or substitute equivalent awards in exchange for
those granted under the Incentive Plan or provide substantially similar
consideration, shares or other property as was provided to our stockholders
(after taking into account provisions of the awards). In the event that the
successor corporation does not assume or substitute awards, such awards will
expire upon the closing of such transaction at the time and upon the conditions
as the Board determines.
Amendment of the Incentive Plan
The Board may at any time terminate or amend the Incentive Plan, including
amending any form of award agreement or instrument to be executed pursuant to
the Incentive Plan. However, the Board may not amend the Incentive Plan in any
manner that requires stockholder approval pursuant to the Code or the
regulations promulgated thereunder.
Term of the Incentive Plan
Unless terminated earlier as provided in the Incentive Plan, the Incentive
Plan will expire on July 21, 2009, ten years after the date the Board adopted
it.
Federal Income Tax Information
The following is a general summary as of the date of this Proxy Statement of
the federal income tax consequences to Interwoven and Participants under the
Incentive Plan. Federal tax laws may change and the federal, state and local
tax consequences for any Participant will depend upon his or her individual
circumstances. Each Participant has been and is encouraged to seek the advice
of a qualified tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of participation in
the Incentive Plan.
Incentive Stock Options. A Participant will recognize no income upon grant
of an ISO and incur no tax on its exercise (unless the Participant is subject
to the alternative minimum tax ("AMT") as described below). If the Participant
holds shares acquired upon exercise of an ISO (the "ISO Shares") for more than
one year after the date the option was exercised and for more than two years
after the date the option was granted, the Participant generally will realize
capital gain or loss (rather than ordinary income or loss) upon disposition of
the ISO Shares. This gain or loss will be equal to the difference between the
amount realized upon such disposition and the amount paid for the ISO Shares.
If the Participant disposes of ISO Shares prior to the expiration of either
required holding period (a "disqualifying disposition"), the gain realized upon
such disposition, up to the difference between the fair market value of the ISO
Shares on the later of the date of vesting or the date of exercise (or, if
less, the amount realized on a sale of such shares) and the option exercise
price, will be treated as ordinary income. Any additional gain will be capital
gain, taxed at a rate that depends upon the amount of time the vested ISO
Shares were held by the Participant.
Alternative Minimum Tax. The difference between the fair market value of the
ISO Shares on the date of exercise and the exercise price is an adjustment to
income for purposes of AMT. The AMT (imposed to the
7
<PAGE>
extent it exceeds the taxpayer's regular tax) is 26% of an individual
taxpayer's alternative minimum taxable income (28% in the case of alternative
minimum taxable income in excess of $175,000). A maximum 20% AMT rate applies
to the portion of alternative minimum taxable income that would otherwise be
taxable as net capital gain. Alternative minimum taxable income is determined
by adjusting regular taxable income for certain items, increasing that income
by certain tax preference items (including the difference between the fair
market value of the ISO Shares on the date of exercise and the exercise price),
and reducing this amount by the applicable exemption amount ($45,000 in case of
a joint return, subject to reduction under certain circumstances). If a
disqualifying disposition of the ISO Shares occurs in the same calendar year as
exercise of the ISO, there is no AMT adjustment with respect to those ISO
Shares. Also, upon a sale of ISO Shares that is not a disqualifying
disposition, alternative minimum taxable income is reduced in the year of sale
by the excess of the fair market value of the ISO Shares at exercise over the
amount paid for the ISO Shares.
Nonqualified Stock Options. A Participant will not recognize any taxable
income at the time an NQSO is granted. However, upon exercise of an NQSO, the
Participant must include in income as compensation an amount equal to the
difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise
and the Participant's exercise price. The included amount must be treated as
ordinary income by the Participant and may be subject to withholding by
Interwoven (either by payment in cash or withholding out of the Participant's
salary). Upon resale of the shares by the Participant, any subsequent
appreciation or depreciation in the value of the shares will be treated as
capital gain or loss.
Restricted Stock and Stock Bonuses. Restricted stock and stock bonuses will
generally be subject to tax at the time of receipt, unless there are
restrictions that enable the Participant to defer tax. At the time the tax is
incurred, the tax treatment will be similar to that discussed above for NQSOs.
Maximum Tax Rates. The maximum tax rate applicable to ordinary income is
39.6%. Long-term capital gain is taxed at a maximum rate of 20%. To receive
long-term capital gain treatment, the stock must be held for more than one
year. Capital gains may be offset by capital losses and up to $3,000 of capital
losses may be offset annually against ordinary income.
Tax Treatment of the Company. Interwoven generally will be entitled to a
deduction in connection with the exercise of an NQSO by a Participant or the
receipt of restricted stock or stock bonuses by a Participant to the extent
that the Participant recognizes ordinary income, provided that Interwoven
timely reports such income to the Internal Revenue Service. Interwoven will be
entitled to a deduction in connection with the disposition of ISO Shares only
to the extent that the Participant recognizes ordinary income on a
disqualifying disposition of the ISO Shares.
ERISA. The Incentive Plan is not subject to any of the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and is not qualified under
Section 401(a) of the Code.
The Board recommends a vote FOR the amendment of the 1999 Equity Incentive
Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance
thereunder.
NEW PLAN BENEFITS
The following table shows the options that are or will be granted in 2001 to
non-employee directors in the aggregate under the Incentive Plan. Future awards
to executive officers and employees of Interwoven under the Incentive Plan are
discretionary and cannot be determined at this time. Therefore we have not
included a table that reflects such awards.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN
BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial
ownership of Interwoven common stock, as of October 18, 2000, by: (i) each
stockholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our
common stock; (ii) each director and nominee; (iii) each Named Executive
Officer set forth in the Summary Compensation Table below; and (iv) all
directors and executive officers as a group.
The percentage of shares beneficially owned is based on 49,506,001 shares of
common stock outstanding as of October 18, 2000. Beneficial ownership is
determined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities.
Unless indicated above, 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. Shares of common stock
subject to options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable
within 60 days of October 18, 2000 are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose
of computing the percentage ownership of that person but are not treated as
outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other
person.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The following table sets forth all compensation awarded, earned or paid for
services rendered in all capacities to Interwoven and its subsidiaries during
each of 1998 and 1999 to our Chief Executive Officer and our four other most
highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers at
the end of 1999 (the "Named Executive Officers"). This information includes the
dollar values of base salaries and bonus awards, the number of shares subject
to stock options granted and certain other compensation, if any, whether paid
or deferred. The restricted stock value is calculated based upon a purchase
price of $0.09 per share for Mr. Brauns and a purchase price of $0.195 per
share for Mr. Ruck, and assuming an estimated fair market value on the date of
grant was equal to $8.50 per share, which was the initial public offering price
of a share of our common stock on October 8, 1999. On December 31, 1999, Mr.
Brauns held 2,666,666 shares of common stock and Mr. Ruck held 493,332 shares
of common stock pursuant to restricted stock award and subject to our right to
repurchase these shares upon termination of employment. Our right to repurchase
Mr. Brauns' shares expires ratably over a 48-month period that began in March
1998. Our right to repuchase Mr. Ruck's shares expired as to 106,666 shares on
March 15, 2000 and expires for the remaining shares ratably each month over 36
months thereafter. If declared by the Board, dividends will be paid on these
restricted stock awards. At December 31, 1999, the value of the restricted
stock awards was $161,926,626 for Mr. Brauns and $29,904,552 for Mr. Ruck,
based on the closing price per share of our common stock of $60.815 on that
date. We do not grant stock appreciation rights and have no long-term
compensation benefits other than stock options.

The following table sets forth information regarding option grants during
1998 to each of the Named Executive Officers. These grants were made pursuant
to the Incentive Plan and a predecessor plan of the Company known as the 1998
Stock Option Plan (the "1998 Plan").
All options granted under the 1998 Plan and the Incentive Plan are
immediately exercisable and are either incentive stock options or nonqualified
stock options. We have the right to repurchase the shares issued upon exercise
of these options at the original purchase price if they are unvested at the
time the grantee terminates employment with us. The repurchase right generally
lapses as to 25% of the shares on the first anniversary of
10
<PAGE>
the date of grant and the remainder expire ratably over a 36-month period
thereafter. We have also granted nonqualified stock options that do not contain
a repurchase right or contain repurchase terms that are negotiated between the
optionee and us. Options expire ten years from the first date of employment.
Options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our
common stock, as determined by our board of directors, on the date of grant. In
1999, we granted to our employees and consultants option to purchase a total of
5,044,786 shares of common stock.
In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
table sets forth the hypothetical gains or "option spreads" that would exist
for the options at the end of their respective ten-year terms. These gains are
based on assumed rates of annual compound stock price appreciation of 5% and
10% from the date the option was granted to the end of the option term. The
potential realizable values at 5% and 10% appreciation are calculated by
assuming that the value of the shares appreciates at the indicated rate for the
entire term of the options and that the option is exercised at the exercise
price and sold on the last day of its term at the appreciated price. The 5% and
10% assumed annual compound rates of stock price appreciation are mandated by
the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not represent
Interwoven's estimate or projection of future common stock prices or values.
For options granted before our initial public offering in October 1999, we
assumed that the fair market value on the date of grant was $8.50 per share,
which was the initial public offering price.

The following table presents the number of shares acquired and the value
realized upon exercise of stock options during 1999 and the number of shares of
common stock subject to "exercisable" and "unexercisable" stock options held as
of December 31, 1999 by each of the Named Executive Officers. Also presented
are values of "in-the-money" options, which represent the positive difference
between the exercise price of each outstanding stock option and the closing
price of our common stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on December
31, 1999, the last day of trading for 1999, which was $60.815. Each of these
options was exercisable immediately upon grant, subject to our right to
repurchase the option shares at the exercise price upon termination of the
optionee's employment. The repurchase right generally expires as to 25% of the
shares on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remainder expires
ratably over the 36-month period thereafter. For option exercises before our
initial public offering in October 1999, the amounts shown under the column
"Value Realized" are based on the initial public offering price of $8.50 per
share, net of the exercise price.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
Before July 1999, the compensation committee consisted of Mr. Brauns, Ms.
Gould and Eileen Richardson, a former director. No compensation decisions were
made by this committee before our initial public offering in October 1999;
rather, all compensation decisions were made by the full board of directors.
Form July 1999 to March 2000, our compensation committee consisted of Mark
Saul, a former director, and Ms. Gould. Since April 2000, our compensation
committee has consisted of Ms. Gould and Mr. Zingale, both of whom are "non-
employee directors" under federal securities laws and "outside directors" under
federal tax laws. No interlocking relationship exists between our board of
directors or compensation committee and the board of directors or compensation
committee of any other company, nor has any interlocking relationship existed
in the past.
Entities associated with Foundation Capital purchased 146,666 shares of
Series E Preferred Stock at $8.49 per share in June 1999. Ms. Gould is a member
of Foundation Capital and may be deemed to own beneficially the shares held by
entities associated with Foundation Capital. Mark Saul, a former director and
member of the Compensation Committee, is a member of Foundation Capital but
does not own beneficially the shares held by entities associated with
Foundation Capital.

REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Prior to our initial public offering in October 1999, the Board (with Mr.
Brauns and Mr. Ong abstaining) made decisions about executive compensation,
including stock option grants. Thereafter, these decisions have been and will
be made by the Compensation Committee of the Board. References to the
"Committee" in this section are intended to be references to the Board prior to
the initial public offering and to the Compensation Committee thereafter. The
Compensation Committee consists of two independent non-employee directors,
neither of whom has any interlocking relationships as defined by the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
General Compensation Policy
The Committee acts on behalf of the Board to establish the general
compensation policy of Interwoven for all our employees. The Committee
typically reviews base salary levels and target bonuses for the Chief Executive
Officer ("CEO") and other executive officers and key employees near the
beginning of each year. The Committee administers our incentive and equity
plans, including the Incentive Plan and the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
The Committee's approach to compensation of executive officers, including
the CEO, is to relate that compensation directly to corporate performance. We
relate a portion of each individual's total compensation to company-wide
revenue and profit objectives, as well as individual objectives that are
established at the beginning of the year. Cash compensation includes base
salary and potential cash bonuses. For long-term equity incentives for
executive officers we grant stock options, which have value only if the price
of the common stock increases above the grant price and the executive remains
with Interwoven for the period required for the options to vest.
In 1999 the Committee determined base salaries, incentive compensation and
stock option grants for executive officers based on its own experience, and for
2000 it has reviewed surveys of prevailing compensation practices among high-
technology companies with whom Interwoven competes for executive talent. The
Committee compares the compensation of Interwoven's executive officers with
comparable positions at comparable companies to determine base salary, target
bonuses and target total cash compensation. The Committee, along with the CEO,
reviews this competitive market information for each executive level position
and the Committee alone reviews this information as to the CEO. Each executive
officer's performance for the past year and objectives for the coming year are
reviewed, together with that person's responsibility level and Interwoven's
performance compared to objectives, and performance targets are set for the
coming year.
1999 Executive Compensation
The entire Board of Directors (with Mr. Brauns and Mr. Ong abstaining) made
all executive compensation decisions in 1999 prior to our initial public
offering in October 1999, and the Compensation Committee made those decisions
thereafter. The following in paragraphs describe how those decisions were
reached.
Base Compensation. Compensation information was presented in February 1999.
The Board reviewed the recommendations and performance and market data and
established a 1999 base salary level for each executive officer, including the
CEO.
Incentive Compensation. Cash bonuses are awarded to the extent that an
executive officer achieves predetermined individual objectives and Interwoven
has met revenue and profit objectives set by the Board at the beginning of the
year. The CEO's subjective judgment of other executives' performance is a
factor in determining whether those individual objectives have been satisfied.
Cash bonuses to individuals are not limited, with the exception of the profit
factor of such bonus, which is limited to twice the amount of the relevant
individual's target for such profit factor. Performance is measured at the end
of the year. For 1999, 100% of individual executives' bonus compensation
depended on Interwoven revenues and profits achieving specified targets, with
the balance, if any, based on individual objectives that were set for each
individual executive.
14
<PAGE>
Stock Options. Stock options are an essential element of our executive
compensation packages. The Committee believes that equity-based compensation in
the form of stock options links the interests of management and stockholders by
focusing employees and management on increasing stockholder value. The actual
value of such equity-based compensation depends entirely on appreciation of the
common stock. Almost all of our full-time employees participate in our stock
plans.
In 1999, we granted stock options to aid in the retention of executive
officers and to align their interests with those of the stockholders. The stock
options generally become exercisable over a four-year period and are granted at
a price that is equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date
of grant. Stock options typically are granted to executive officers when the
executive first joins Interwoven, or in connection with a significant change in
responsibilities, or occasionally to achieve equity within a peer group. In its
discretion the Committee may also grant stock options to executives to provide
greater incentives to continue their employment with Interwoven and to strive
to increase the value of our common stock. The Committee may, however, grant
additional stock options to executives for other reasons. The number of shares
subject to each stock option granted is within the discretion of the Committee
and is based on anticipated future contribution and ability to affect corporate
or business unit results, past performance or consistency within the
executive's peer group. In 1999, as part of an annual review of the stock
options held by our executive officers and managers, the Committee considered
these factors, as well as the number of options held by those executive
officers as of the date of grant that remained unvested.
For 2000, the Committee plans to consider granting options under the
Incentive Plan to executive officers based on the factors described above, with
particular attention to company-wide management objectives and the executive
officers' success in obtaining specific individual financial and operational
objectives for 2000, to Interwoven revenue and profit expectations and to the
number of options currently held by each executive officer that remain
unvested.
Company Performance and CEO Compensation. Mr. Brauns' base salary was
$250,000 in 1999, as it had been in 1998. Based upon the criteria set forth
above, the Committee awarded Mr. Brauns a bonus of $300,000 for 1999,
representing 300% of his 1999 target bonus. This incentive compensation was
based upon Mr. Brauns achieving corporate operating revenue and profit
objectives and performance relative to his individual goals. These objectives
included managing Interwoven's overall corporate business plan, meeting
profitability projections and sales targets, and strengthening Interwoven's
market position. The Committee also granted Mr. Brauns an immediately
exercisable option to purchase 172,206 shares of common stock, subject to our
right to repurchase all of these shares for four years, unless Mr. Brauns
achieved certain 1999 performance objectives, in which case our right to
repurchase these shares would expire as to 43,050 shares on January 1, 2000 and
would expire ratably as to the remaining shares over a 36-month period
thereafter. In granting this option, the Committee reviewed Mr. Brauns' prior
outstanding stock grants, the number of restricted shares that remained
unvested, the number of shares Mr. Brauns already owned that were not subject
to repurchase, and Interwoven's performance in 1998. The Committee believes
that this grant was appropriate because it provided the proper incentives to
Mr. Brauns for 1999 and beyond and takes account of his prior significant stock
holdings. The Committee reviewed compensation practices of comparable companies
in making these awards.
Compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code. Interwoven intends to comply
with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code for 2000. The Incentive
Plan is already in compliance with Section 162(m) by limiting stock awards to
named executive officers. Interwoven does not expect cash compensation for 2000
to any of its executive officers to be in excess of $1,000,000 and consequently
Interwoven does not expect to be affected by the requirements of Section
162(m).

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
From January 1, 1999 to the present, there are no currently proposed
transactions in which the amount involved exceeds $60,000 to which we or any of
our subsidiaries was (or is to be) a party and in which any executive officer,
director, 5% beneficial owner of our common stock or member of the immediate
family of any of the foregoing persons had (or will have) a direct or indirect
material interest, except for payments set forth under "Executive Compensation"
above and the transactions described below.
Preferred Stock Financing
In June 1999, we sold an aggregate of 2,263,136 shares of Series E Preferred
Stock at a purchase price of $8.49 per share. In connection with this sale of
our capital stock, entities associated with each of Foundation Capital, JK&B
Capital, Accel Partners and Draper Fisher Jurvetson purchased 146,666, 132,861,
72,039 and 1,313 shares of Series E Preferred Stock, respectively. Ms. Gould is
a member of Foundation Capital and may be deemed to own beneficially the shares
held by entities associated with Foundation Capital. Mark Saul, a former
director, is a member of Foundation Capital but does not own beneficially the
shares held by entities associated with Foundation Capital.
Employment Contracts with Management
Mr. Brauns, our President and Chief Executive Officer, entered into an
employment agreement with us in February 1998. This agreement establishes Mr.
Brauns' initial annual salary of $250,000 and eligibility for benefits and
bonuses tied to our revenues. This agreement also provides for his election to
the Board of Directors as a condition of employment. This agreement continues
until it is terminated upon written notice by Mr. Brauns or by us. If his
employment is terminated by us for cause or if he voluntarily elects to
terminate his employment, we must pay his salary and other benefits through the
date of his termination. If his employment is terminated by us without cause or
if he terminates his employment under some circumstances, we must pay his
benefits through the date of his termination and his salary for up to 12
additional months after this date, unless Mr. Brauns is employed full-time by
another employer.
Under this agreement, Mr. Brauns agreed to purchase 2,666,666 shares of
common stock at an exercise price of $0.09 per share. The shares purchased by
Mr. Brauns are subject to our right to repurchase the shares upon termination
of his employment. Our repurchase right expires ratably over a 48-month period
from March 1998. Our repurchase right also expires as to all of the shares in
the event that we merge or consolidate with another entity or sell all or
substantially all of our assets.
In connection with this stock purchase, we agreed to loan Mr. Brauns the
entire purchase price. This loan has been repaid in full. See "Certain
Relationships And Related Transactions--Loans to Executive Officers."
Mr. Ong's offer letter, dated February 29, 1996, provided for an initial
annual salary of $48,000 commencing on March 1, 1996. Mr. Ong's employment is
at will and may be terminated at any time, with or without formal cause.
Mr. Backlund's offer letter, dated May 1, 1998, provides for an initial
annual salary of $135,000 commencing on May 26, 1998 and eligibility for an
incentive bonus of up to $100,000. The offer letter also provides for
reimbursement for relocation expenses. Mr. Backlund received options to
purchase 313,332 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.105 per

Mr. Jia's offer letter, dated January 6, 1997, provides for an initial
annual salary of $70,000 commencing January 27, 1997. Mr. Jia received options
to purchase 120,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.045
per share under the 1996 Stock Option Plan, of which options to purchase 30,000
shares vested on January 28, 1998 and the remainder will vest ratably over a
36-month period thereafter. Mr. Jia's employment is at will and may be
terminated at any time, with or without formal cause.
Mr. Ruck's offer letter, dated February 18, 1999, provides for an initial
annual salary of $140,000 commencing on March 15, 1999 and eligibility for an
incentive bonus of $60,000. Pursuant to the offer letter, Mr. Ruck purchased
426,666 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.195 per share.
The shares purchased by Mr. Ruck are subject to our right to repurchase all of
the shares of common stock upon termination of his employment. Our right to
repurchase his shares upon termination lapsed with respect to 106,666 shares on
March 15, 2000 and expires ratably as to the remaining shares over a 36-month
period thereafter. On March 18, 1999, Mr. Ruck purchased an additional 66,666
shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.195 per share, subject to
attainment of individual and corporate objectives, and subject to the same
repurchase rights described above. Also, pursuant to his offer letter, we
loaned Mr. Ruck $96,200 pursuant to two partial recourse secured promissory
notes representing the purchase price for his shares. These notes are described
further below under "Certain Relationships And Related Transactions--Loans to
Executive Officers." Mr. Ruck's employment is at will and may be terminated at
any time, with or without formal cause.
Loans to Executive Officers
In March 1998, we loaned $240,000 to Mr. Brauns, our President and Chief
Executive Officer, secured by a promissory note and stock pledge agreement, in
connection with his purchase of shares of common stock. The note accrued
interest at a rate of 6% per year and has been paid in full. The largest
aggregate amount of indebtedness under this loan during 1999 was $247,200.
In April 1999, we loaned an aggregate of $96,200 to Mr. Ruck, our Vice
President of Marketing, secured by two promissory notes and a stock pledge
agreement, in connection with his purchase of shares of common stock. In
October 1999, the notes were amended to adjust the repayment schedule in the
event of an initial public offering of common stock. The notes accrue interest
at a rate of 6% per year. Interest is payable annually. The principal sum of
each note will become due and payable in eighteen equal monthly installments
beginning in October 2000. If Mr. Ruck breaches his obligations under the notes
we may enforce our right to payment of 25% of the principal and any accrued
interest out of any of Mr. Ruck's assets, but may enforce our right to payment
of the balance due under the notes only out of the stock subject to the stock
pledge agreement. As of December 31, 1999, $100,208 remained outstanding under
the notes.
