        <footnote id="F1">Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 3, 2005, by and among SSA Global Technologies, Inc. (&quot;SSA&quot;), SSA-E Merger Subsidiary Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of SSA (the &quot;Merger Sub&quot;), SSA-E Acquisition Subsidiary Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of SSA, and E.piphany, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the &quot;Company&quot;), Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SSA (the &quot;Merger&quot;).  Upon consummation of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Merger Sub was converted into and became one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (and is the only issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company).</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">SSA holds, and possesses sole power to vote and direct the disposition of, the sole share of common stock of the Company (the &quot;Shares&quot;) deemed issued and outstanding as of September 29, 2005.  Thus, as of September 29, 2005, for the purposes of Reg. Section 240.13d-3, SSA is deemed to beneficially own 1 Share, or 100.0% of the Shares deemed issued and outstanding as of that date.  SSA intends to (and has taken steps to) cause the common stock of the Company to be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market and to terminate registration of such shares pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.</footnote>
