well as all outstanding warrants issued by ILOG (

),
through concurrent offers in the United States (the

and in France. In the U.S. Offer,
Purchaser is seeking to acquire all outstanding Shares and Warrants held by
U.S. holders (within the meaning of Rule 14d-1(d) under the Exchange
Act), as well as all outstanding ADSs held by holders wherever located, upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the U.S. Offer to Purchase
dated October 14, 2008, the ADS letter of transmittal, and the forms of

respectively. This Amendment No. 3
to the Schedule 14D-9 is being filed on behalf of ILOG. Capitalized terms used
and not defined in this Amendment No. 3 have the same meanings as in the
