Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously reported, in September 2007, Dillard's, Inc. filed a lawsuit in the 191st Judicial District Court of Dallas County, Texas against i2 Technologies, Inc. (“i2”), which was acquired by JDA Software Group, Inc. (the “Company”) on January 28, 2010, alleging that i2 committed fraud and failed to meet certain obligations to Dillard's regarding the purchase of two i2 products in the year 2000 under a software license agreement and related services agreement (the “Litigation”). Dillard's had paid i2 approximately $8.1 million under these two agreements. Also as previously reported, a jury in Texas returned an adverse verdict in the Litigation, and on September 30, 2010, the trial court signed a judgment awarding Dillard's $237 million, plus post-judgment interest of 5% per annum, which the Company then appealed.

On November 30, 2011, i2 and Dillard's entered into a settlement agreement (the “Agreement”). The terms of the Agreement include the following: (i) i2 will pay $57 million to Dillard's by December 5, 2011; (ii) dismissal with prejudice of all legal proceedings related to the Litigation; (iii) the $25 million supersedeas bond previously posted by the Company will be discharged and returned to the Company; and (iv) mutual releases and covenants not to sue. A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing the settlement of the Litigation is attached.

JDA Software Agrees to Litigation Settlement

Scottsdale, Ariz. - November 30, 2011 - JDA^® Software Group, Inc. (“JDA” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: JDAS), The Supply Chain Company^®, today announced that it has entered into a settlement agreement with Dillard's, Inc. (NYSE: DDS) which brings to conclusion a litigation matter related to a software license and service agreement between i2 Technologies, Inc. (i2) and Dillard's, Inc. (Dillard's) that originated in 2000. JDA acquired i2 in January of 2010.

Under the terms of the settlement agreement, i2 agreed to pay $57 million to Dillard's for final and full resolution of any and all claims against the Company. In June 2010, the litigation matter was adjudicated in Dillard's favor and a judgment entered in the amount of $237 million. i2 appealed that judgment and the matter had been pending in the court of appeals. JDA posted a bond in 2010, backed by $25 million, which will be released back to the Company. That cash, as well as approximately $3 million in expected insurance proceeds and cash on hand, will be used to pay the settlement. JDA had more than $320 million of cash on hand as of September 30, 2011. The Company expects to take a pre-tax charge of $35 million in the fourth quarter 2011, which represents the settlement amount, net of insurance recoveries, less amounts previously accrued in the financial statements.

“While we remain confident in the strength of our legal position, we entered into the settlement agreement to bring this matter to a conclusion,” said JDA Software President and Chief Executive Officer Hamish Brewer. “With this settlement, and the $37.5 million favorable patent infringement settlement earlier this year, we have now concluded all known, material outstanding litigation related to i2. We are focused on completing a very successful year and continuing to execute on our strategy of enhancing long-term customer and shareholder value.”
