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 the 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Monday, December 22, 2003 at 10:00 a.m. (Central Time), and at any adjournment or postponement thereof, at the Omni Hotel at Park West, 1590 Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway, Dallas, Texas 75234. These proxy materials were first mailed to stockholders of record beginning on or about November 28, 2003.

 

PURPOSE OF MEETING

 

The specific proposal to be considered and acted upon at this meeting is summarized in the accompanying Notice of Annual 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 Internet e-mail.

 

A copy of our 2002 annual report to stockholders and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2003 have been mailed concurrently with the mailing of the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and this proxy statement to all stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, this meeting. The annual report is not incorporated into this proxy statement and is not considered proxy solicitation material.

 

We have fixed November 5, 2003 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 434,054,700 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. Cumulative voting is not permitted in the election of directors. If a choice as to the matters coming before the 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 Annual Meeting and in this proxy statement and in the discretion of the persons named in the proxy as proxy appointees as to any other matter that may properly come before the Annual Meeting. The inspector of election appointed for the meeting will tabulate the votes, separately calculating affirmative and negative votes, 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).

 

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 at the meeting.

 

Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions will be counted towards the tabulations of votes cast on proposals presented to the stockholders and will have the same effect as negative votes, whereas broker non-votes will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a proposal has been approved.

 

As of November 5, 2003, our directors and executive officers beneficially owned an aggregate of approximately 116,881,647 million shares of our common stock, not including shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, constituting approximately 26.9% of the shares of common stock outstanding as of such date. 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. See “Principal Stockholders.”

 

PROPOSAL 1

 

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

 

We currently have the following four directors serving on our Board:

 

Sanjiv S. Sidhu, Chairman

 

Harvey B. Cash

Robert L. Crandall

 

Michael H. Jordan

 

The Board of Directors is divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. The term of office of our Class III directors, Sanjiv S. Sidhu and Robert L. Crandall, expires at this meeting, the term of office of the Class I director, Michael H. Jordan, expires at the 2004 annual meeting of stockholders, and the term of office of our Class II director, Harvey B. Cash, expires at the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders, and in each case until their successors have been elected and qualified. Directors to replace those of a class whose terms expire at a given annual meeting shall be elected to hold office until the third succeeding annual meeting or until their respective successors have been elected and qualified.

 

We announced the appointment of Mr. Jordan to our Board of Directors on January 17, 2002. This appointment was made solely by action of our Board of Directors, as permitted by Delaware law and our Bylaws. We also announced the resignations of Romesh Wadhwani and Gregory A. Brady from our Board of Directors effective September 30, 2002 and November 21, 2002, respectively.

 

Vote Required

 

Two Class III directors are to be elected at this meeting to hold office until the 2006 annual meeting of stockholders, or until their successors are elected and qualified. The vote of a plurality of the shares of our common stock present in person or represented by proxy at this meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors is necessary for the election of a director. Abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on the determination of plurality, except to the extent that they affect the total votes received by any particular nominee. The two nominees receiving the greatest number of votes of outstanding shares present in person or represented by proxy at this meeting and entitled to vote on this proposal will be elected to our Board of Directors even if they receive less than a majority of such shares.

 

2


Unless otherwise instructed, the persons named in the accompanying proxy card will vote the proxies received by them for our nominees, Sanjiv S. Sidhu and Robert L. Crandall. If either Mr. Sidhu or Mr. Crandall is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of this meeting, the proxies will be voted for the nominee who is designated by the present Board of Directors to fill the vacancy. It is not expected that either Mr. Sidhu or Mr. Crandall will be unable or will decline to serve as a director.

 

Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” Sanjiv S. Sidhu and Robert L. Crandall and proxies executed and returned will be so voted unless contrary instructions are indicated on the proxy.

Director Compensation and Indemnification Arrangements

 

Our current compensation package for our non-employee directors is as follows:

 

    $25,000 annual cash retainer for serving on the Board of Directors.

 

    $4,000 attendance fee for each meeting of the Board of Directors attended.

 

    $5,000 annual cash retainer for serving on the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

 

    $2,500 annual cash retainer for serving on the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

 

    $50,000 annual cash retainer for serving as the Chair of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

 

    $10,000 annual cash retainer for serving as the Chair of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

 

    Initial and annual grants of stock options priced at fair market value on the terms set forth in the Automatic Option Grant Program of our 1995 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (1995 Plan). Additional grants of stock options may be awarded under the Discretionary Option Grant Program of our 1995 Plan.

 

Directors who are also employees are not paid any fees or additional compensation for services as members of our Board of Directors or any committee of our Board of Directors. Directors are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of our Board of Directors and committees on which they serve.

 

Under the Automatic Option Grant Program of our 1995 Plan, each person who becomes a non-employee Board member automatically is granted at that time an option for 8,000 shares of common stock. In addition, on the date of each annual stockholders meeting, each individual who continues to serve as a non-employee Board member after such meeting will automatically be granted an option to purchase 8,000 shares of common stock under the 1995 Plan, provided such individual has served as a non-employee Board member for at least six months. Each option will have an exercise price per share equal to 100% of the fair market value per share of our common stock on the option grant date and a maximum term of ten years measured from the option grant date. Each option will be immediately exercisable for all the option shares, but we may repurchase, at the exercise price paid per share, all unvested shares held at the cessation of the director’s Board service. Each option grant will vest, and our repurchase rights will lapse, in four equal annual installments over the optionee’s period of Board service, with the first such installment vesting one year from the option grant date.

 

Under the Discretionary Option Grant Program of our 1995 Plan, our Board of Directors will determine which eligible individuals receive option grants, the time or times when those grants are to be made, the number

 

3


of shares subject to each such grant, the vesting schedule (if any) to be in effect for the option grant and the maximum term for which any granted option is to remain outstanding. Each granted option will have an exercise price determined by the Board of Directors but shall in no event be less than 85% of the fair market value of the shares on the grant date. No granted option will have a term in excess of ten years, and the option will generally become exercisable in one or more installments over a specified period of service measured from the grant date. However, one or more options may be structured so that they will be immediately exercisable for any or all of the option shares. Shares acquired under such options will be subject to repurchase by us, at the exercise price paid per share, if the optionee ceases service with our company prior to vesting in those shares.

 

Option grants to non-employee directors during 2002 are detailed in the following table. The exercise price per share for all grants was equal to the fair market value per share of common stock on the grant date. Options granted under the Automatic Option Grant Program were granted in accordance with the terms set forth above. Such options are not exercisable until they become vested. Each of these options will vest, 25% upon completion of the first year of service measured from the date of grant and pro rata over a 36-month period thereafter.

Annual Automatic Grant

 

We maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and our Bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification of directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. We have entered into indemnification agreements with all of our directors. In addition, our Restated Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of our directors to us and our stockholders for breaches of the directors’ fiduciary duties to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

 

Board Meetings and Committees

 

Our Board of Directors met nine times during 2002. During 2002, each current incumbent director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (1) the total number of meetings of our Board of Directors held during the period for which he has been a director and (2) the total number of meetings held by all committees of our Board of Directors on which such director served.

 

We have a standing Compensation Committee currently composed of Messrs. Cash (Chairman), Crandall and Jordan. The Compensation Committee met six times in 2002. The Compensation Committee administers our stock plans. The Compensation Committee has the responsibility for establishing the compensation payable to our Chief Executive Officer and is responsible for establishing compensation payable to our other executive officers based on recommendations made by the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee also is responsible for the overall administration of our employee benefit plans, including our employee stock purchase plans.

 

In addition, we have a standing Options Committee, currently composed of Mr. Sidhu, which has separate but concurrent authority with the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors to make discretionary option grants and stock issuances from time to time under the 1995 and 2001 Plans to eligible employees that are not subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Options Committee has the power and authority, with certain limited exceptions, to select the eligible individuals who are to receive option grants and stock issuances under the 1995 and 2001 Plans; to determine the number of shares of common stock subject to each such award (subject to the periodic corporate option pool authorized by the Compensation Committee and a limitation of 200,000 shares per individual each calendar year); to determine the exercise schedule in effect for each such option or stock issuance; and to determine the maximum term for which each option may remain outstanding.

 

4


We also have a standing Audit Committee currently composed of Messrs. Crandall (Chairman), Cash and Jordan. The Audit Committee met seven times in 2002. The oversight functions of the Audit Committee include, among other things, (i) appointing our independent auditor; (ii) reviewing the external audit plan and the results of the auditing engagement; (iii) reviewing the internal audit plan and the results of the internal audits; (iv) ensuring that management has maintained the reliability and integrity of our accounting policies and our financial reporting and disclosure practices; (v) reviewing the independence and performance of our internal and external auditors; and (vi) reviewing the adequacy of our system of internal control and compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and corporate policies. The Audit Committee has a charter that was approved by our Board of Directors. The current members of the Audit Committee are independent as defined by the listing standards of the Nasdaq National Market, on which our common stock was formerly quoted.

 

We do not have a standing Nominating Committee or any other committee performing similar functions, and these matters are considered at meetings of the full Board of Directors.

Although no specific cash compensatory arrangements have been made for our executive officers (other than an expired agreement with Dr. Wadhwani), certain provisions of the 1995 Plan may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of us or unsolicited acquisition proposals. The Plan Administrator under the 1995 Plan may structure one or more outstanding options granted to our executive officers so that these options immediately accelerate in the event the executive officers are terminated involuntarily within a designated period (not to exceed 18 months) following the effective date of any change in control. All options granted under the 1995 Plan prior to January 16, 2001 provide for immediate acceleration in the event the optionee is involuntarily terminated within 18 months following the effective date of any change of control. We have entered into indemnification agreements with all of our executive officers. We maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and our Bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification of officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

(1)   Generally, options vest over a four-year period. Additionally, some options may be exercised prior to vesting subject to our right to repurchase at cost any unvested shares purchased prior to vesting in the event of the optionee’s termination of employment.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

 

Mr. Jordan joined Mr. Cash and Mr. Crandall on the Compensation Committee upon appointment to our Board of Directors in January 2002. None of the members of the Compensation Committee is an officer or employee, or former officer or employee, of us or any of our subsidiaries. Until March 31, 2001, Mr. Beecher served as a member of the Board of Directors of Vistaar Technologies, a privately-held company of which Mr. Sandeep Tungare is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Tungare resigned from our Board of Directors in January 2002. No other current executive officer served as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any other entity that has or has had one or more executive officers serving as a member of our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee during 2002.

 

Report on Executive Compensation

 

The Compensation Committee serves under a charter adopted by the Board of Directors and is composed entirely of non-employee directors. The primary functions of the Compensation Committee include:

 

    Setting the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer.

 

    Reviewing the strategic approach to compensation for key executives, including their total annual compensation targets and payouts.

 

    Approving stock option grants to executive officers and certain other employees.

 

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

 

As a company, our primary objective is to maximize our long-term value for our stockholders. Accomplishing this objective requires developing and marketing products and services that provide solutions for our customers. The primary goal of the Compensation Committee is to align executive compensation with our short-term and long-term business objectives and operating performance. To accomplish this goal, we must develop compensation practices that allow us to attract and retain the people needed to define, create and market innovative products and services.

 

13


The Committee applies the following philosophical framework to executive compensation:

 

    Provide a competitive total compensation package that considers compensation practices of selected peer companies in the software industry and other companies with which we are competing for executive-level individuals.

 

    Base compensation design on principles that will lead to pay for performance. Performance above expectations should be recognized with a higher level of compensation while performance below expectations should be addressed with a lower payout of variable compensation.

 

    Tie a significant portion of each executive’s total compensation to the overall performance of the company considering targets for financial results and organizational development.

 

    Align the financial interests of each executive with those of our stockholders utilizing long-term, equity-based incentives.

 

Our executive compensation program includes the following key elements:

 

    Base salary

 

    Variable cash incentives

 

    Equity-based incentives

 

    Benefits

 

Each executive officer’s compensation package is designed to provide an appropriately weighted mix of these elements, which cumulatively provide a level of total compensation roughly equivalent to that paid by a selected group of peer companies within the software industry.

 

Base Salary

 

Base salary and base salary adjustments for executive officers are determined by qualitative and quantitative factors relating to corporate and individual performance, and are evaluated in relation to salaries paid to executive officers at peer companies within the software industry.

 

Variable Cash Incentives

 

Annual cash incentive bonus programs are maintained to reward executive officers for attaining defined performance goals, including company-wide performance targets, business unit performance and individual goals.

 

During 2002, based on the company’s overall operating performance, our Chief Executive Officer elected not to receive a cash incentive bonus. Additionally, overall cash incentive bonus payouts for other key executives were significantly reduced for the first half of the fiscal year. The second half cash incentive payouts were reflective of the overall performance of the executive team and the company’s ability to achieve its financial targets.

 

Equity-based Incentives

 

We utilize our 1995 Plan to further align the interests of stockholders and management by creating common incentives related to the possession by management of a substantial economic interest in the long-term appreciation of our stock. Generally, options under the 1995 Plan are granted with exercise prices set at the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant, have a term of ten years, and are subject to vesting over four years. In determining the size of an option to be granted to an executive officer, the Compensation Committee takes into account the executive officer’s position and level of responsibility, the executive officer’s existing stock and unvested option holdings, the potential reward to the executive officer if the stock price appreciates in the public market and the competitiveness of the executive officer’s overall compensation arrangements, including stock options, although outstanding performance by an individual also may be taken into consideration. Option grants also may be made to new executives upon commencement of employment and, on occasion, to executives in connection with a significant change in job responsibility.

 

14


The 1995 Plan was adopted by our Board of Directors and approved by our stockholders in 1995 and is administered by the Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee, when determining the size of annual grants to executive officers in 2002, focused on competitive peer data, experience and subjective information. They concluded that the stock and option holdings of the executives that received options were below the levels needed to provide the appropriate retention value.

 

In 2002, the Compensation Committee also considered and granted restricted stock awards to executive officers. These awards were designed to provide equity incentives to retain executive officers in light of significant changes to the Company’s business in 2002.

 

Benefits

 

Benefits offered to our executive officers serve as a safety net of protection against the financial catastrophes that can result from illness, disability or death. Benefits offered to our executive officers are substantially the same as those offered to all of our regular employees. Additional life insurance protection is provided to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Operating Officer.

 

We maintain a tax-qualified deferred compensation plan, or 401(k) Savings Plan, for the benefit of all of our eligible full-time employees. Under the plan, participants may elect to contribute, through salary reductions, up to 25% of their annual compensation subject to a statutory maximum. We do not currently provide additional matching contributions under the 401(k) Savings Plan, but may do so in the future. The 401(k) Savings Plan is designed to qualify under Section 401 of the Code so that contributions by employees or by us to the plan, and income earned on plan contributions, are not taxable to employees until withdrawn from the 401(k) Savings Plan, and so that contributions by us, if any, will be deductible by us when made. The trustee under the plan, at the direction of each plan participant, currently invests the assets of the 401(k) Savings Plan in fourteen investment options, which exclude i2 stock.

 

Compliance with the Internal Revenue Code

 

Section 162(m) of the Code imposes a limit on tax deductions for annual compensation, other than performance-based compensation, in excess of $1,000,000 paid by a corporation to its chief executive officer and the other four most highly compensated executive officers of a corporation. We have not established a policy with regard to Section 162(m) of the Code, since we have not and do not currently anticipate paying cash compensation in excess of $1,000,000 per annum to any employee. None of the compensation paid by us in 2002 was subject to the limitation on deductibility. The Board of Directors and Compensation Committee will continue to assess the impact of Section 162(m) of the Code on its compensation practices and determine what further action, if any, is appropriate.

 

CEO Compensation

 

During 2001, Mr. Sidhu asked that his base salary be reduced for an indefinite period of time to an amount necessary to cover the non-company paid portion of the costs associated with certain employee benefits. For 2002, Mr. Sidhu again asked that his compensation remain at these levels. The Compensation Committee will continue to assess the market data and peer company practices for the position of Chief Executive Officer to ensure that, when reinstated, Mr. Sidhu’s compensation is competitive relative to our company’s stated compensation philosophy.

Stock Performance Graph

 

The graph depicted below shows a comparison of cumulative total stockholder returns for i2 common stock, the NASDAQ Stock Market (U.S. Companies) Index and the NASDAQ Computer and Data Processing Services Group Index. The graph assumes that $100 was invested in i2 common stock on December 31, 1997, and in each index and that all dividends were reinvested. No cash dividends have been declared on shares of i2 common stock. The graph covers the period from December 31, 1997, the last trading day before our 1998 fiscal year, to December 31, 2002, the last trading day before our 2003 fiscal year. The data for the graph was provided to us by the NASDAQ Stock Market. The comparisons in the graph are required by regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and are not intended to forecast or to be indicative of the possible future performance of our common stock.

Certain Transactions with Management

 

Since January 1, 2002, there have been no transactions, or currently proposed transactions, between i2 or any of our subsidiaries and any executive officer, director, 5% beneficial owner of our common stock, or member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons, in which one of the foregoing individuals or entities had an interest of more than $60,000.

 

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

 

Based solely on our review of the copies of the forms furnished to us or written representations from the reporting persons that no reports were required, we believe that, during 2002, all of our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements, except that Raymond Greer, our Executive Vice President and President of Global Network Solutions and Services from January 2002 until September 2002, did not timely file his Form 3. Mr. Greer’s Form 3 was filed in February 2002.

 

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

 

The following is the report of the Audit Committee with respect to our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for that year.

 

Pursuant to a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee oversees i2’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee’s duties and responsibilities are more fully described in its charter, which was included as Appendix A to our proxy statement for our 2002 annual meeting. Management is responsible for i2’s financial reporting process, including the system of internal controls, and for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. i2’s independent auditor, Deloitte & Touche LLP, is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements and expressing an opinion on those financial statements based on their audit.

 

The Audit Committee met seven times in 2002. The oversight functions of the Audit Committee include, among other things, (i) appointing our independent auditor; (ii) reviewing the external audit plan and the results of the auditing engagement; (iii) reviewing the internal audit plan and the results of the internal audits; (iv) ensuring that management has maintained the reliability and integrity of our accounting policies and our financial reporting and disclosure practices; (v) reviewing the independence and performance of our internal and external auditors; and (vi) reviewing the adequacy of our system of internal control and compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and corporate policies.

 

We have met and held discussions with management and Deloitte & Touche LLP, including discussions in connection with the internal review that resulted in the restatement of i2’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 and for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 through September 30, 2002. We reviewed and discussed with our management i2’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002. In addition, we discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, “Communications with Audit Committees.” Also, we have received the written

disclosures from Deloitte & Touche LLP required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, and have discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP its independence from i2.

 

Based upon the aforementioned discussions and disclosures, we recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in i2’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The preceding Report of the Audit Committee, and references in this proxy statement to the independence of the Audit Committee, shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any of our previous filings under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which might incorporate filings made by us under those Acts, nor will such report or references be incorporated by reference into any future filings made by us under those Acts, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this information by reference. The full responsibilities of the Audit Committee are set forth in its Charter, adopted by our Board of Directors.

 

INFORMATION REGARDING CHANGE OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

 

As recommended by our Audit Committee, on May 7, 2002 our Board of Directors appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as our independent public accountants for the year ending December 31, 2002, replacing our former independent public accountants Arthur Andersen LLP, who were dismissed as our auditors effective as of that date. Our Audit Committee of the Board of Directors annually considers and recommends to our Board the selection of our independent public accountants.

 

Arthur Andersen’s reports on our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and through the date Arthur Andersen was replaced, there were no disagreements with Arthur Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Arthur Andersen’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their reports on our consolidated financial statements and supporting schedules for such years; and there were no reportable events, as listed in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and through the date Arthur Andersen was replaced, we did not consult Deloitte & Touche LLP with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of the audit opinion that might be rendered on our consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events listed in Items 304 (a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

 

Upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, our Board of Directors has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2003. Deloitte & Touche has served as our independent auditors since April 2002.

 

One or more representatives of Deloitte & Touche are expected to be present at the annual meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

 

In addition to performing the audit of our consolidated financial statements, Deloitte & Touche has provided various other services during 2002. The aggregate fees billed for 2002 for each of the following categories of services are set forth below:

 

Audit fees (including reviews of Forms 10-Q)

   $ 383,652

Financial information systems design and implementation fees

     0

All other fees:

      

Audit related services (1)

     384,196

Tax services (2)

     177,003
    

     $ 944,851
    


(1)   Includes fees for statutory audits of foreign subsidiaries and accounting consultations.
(2)   Includes services related to tax compliance and other tax-related consultations.

 

The Audit Committee has reviewed summaries of the services provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP and the related fees, and the Audit Committee has determined that the provision of non-audit services covered in “Financial information systems design and implementation fees” and “All other fees” is compatible with maintaining the independence of Deloitte & Touche LLP.
