Immediate Release
MANUGISTICS ANNOUNCES DISMISSAL OF
CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT
Rockville, Md -- Aug. 17, 1999 -- Manugistics Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: MANU), today
announced that the United States District Court for the District of Maryland has
issued an Order dismissing the class action complaint against the Company, its
chairman, and its chief financial officer, alleging violations of the federal
securities laws. This complaint was filed in early 1998. As previously
reported by the Company, the plaintiffs' claims were based principally upon
alleged omissions and misrepresentations regarding the Company's business,
operations, and financial condition. The court found that the complaint failed
to state a legally sufficient claim.
"When these lawsuits were first filed last year, I stated that `Manugistics
believes that it and its officers have always acted with integrity and in
compliance with their disclosure obligations'," said William M. Gibson, chairman
of Manugistics. "We are gratified with the court's decision. We intend to put
this matter behind us and focus on our mission of being the leading software
provider of supply chain solutions."
