Item 5. Other Events.
On February 25, 2000, Manugistics Group, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a
settlement agreement and general release (the "Settlement") with Level 8
Systems, Inc., a New York corporation ("Level 8") which provided for the
dismissal of both the lawsuit filed by Template Software, Inc. ("Template"),
against Manugistics, Inc., the Company's principal subsidiary, in the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division,
and the counterclaims made by Manugistics, Inc. against Template in the action.
Template was formerly a Virginia corporation which was merged in December 1999
into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Level 8 (the successor in interest to
Template). The Company initially reported Template's lawsuit in the Company's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended August 31, 1999.
Pursuant to its terms, the Settlement does not constitute an admission of
wrongdoing by either party to the dispute. The Settlement provides for a cash
payment to be made by the Company to Template in an amount which will be covered
by the Company's insurance carrier.
