“If you step back for a second, we didn't get here because of one
year...our timelines tend to be a bit longer than that and a lot of
results you saw in 2007 were the result of strategic shifts we've
made in the IBM company.”

IBM’s Long-term Leadership

Five key factors that differentiate IBM in the industry and for our clients:

- Samuel Palmisano, IBM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Financial Strength: Driving profitable growth and generating strong cash returns means that we can return value
to our shareholders and invest in growth opportunities.

Client Value: Even in tough economic times, clients are making a greater share of investment with IBM because
of our unique value proposition, including global reach and scale, leading products, unique industry knowledge and
business process expertise.

Technology: We have invested more than $29 billion in research and development over the past five years; spent
more than $20 billion acquiring more than 60 companies to add to our portfolio of products and expertise. 2007 was
our 15th consecutive year of U.S. patent leadership.

Infrastructure: The data center is going through its most fundamental transformation in decades, a shift on which
IBM is ideally positioned to capitalize.

Global Reach and Scale: We serve clients in 170 countries and achieved 63 percent of our 2007 revenue from
outside the United States.

The offers are not being made nor will any tender of shares or warrants be accepted from or on behalf of holders in any jurisdiction in which the making of the offers or the acceptance of any tender of shares or warrants therein would not be made in compliance with laws of such jurisdiction.

This presentation contains forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties including with respect to the factors that may affect the completion of the acquisition. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and include, without limitation, words such as “may”, “will”, “expects”, “believes”, “anticipates”, “plans”, “intends”, “estimates”, “projects”, “forecasts”, “seeks”, “could”, “should”, or the negative of such terms, and other variations on such terms or comparable terminology.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the expected future business of ILOG resulting from and following the offers and the successful completion of the transaction. These statements reflect IBM’s and ILOG’s managements’ current expectations, based upon information currently available to them and are subject to various assumptions, as well as risks and uncertainties that may be outside of their control. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Any such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made and IBM and ILOG shall be under no obligation to (and expressly disclaim any such obligation to) update or alter such forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required.

The tender offers, which have not yet commenced, will be made for the outstanding shares and warrants of ILOG. This press release is for informational purposes only and is not an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell any ILOG shares or warrants. The solicitation and the offer to buy the shares and warrants of ILOG will be made only pursuant to an offer to purchase and related materials that IBM and its subsidiary intend to file with the AMF (in particular the Note d’Information) and the SEC (on Schedule TO). ILOG also intends to file with the AMF a Note en Réponse and with the SEC a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the tender offer.

ILOG shareholders and warrant holders and other investors should read carefully the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO and the Note d'Information to be filed by IBM and the Schedule 14D-9 and the Note en Réponse to be filed by ILOG because these documents will contain important information, including the terms and conditions of the tender offer. ILOG shareholders and warrant holders and other investors will be able to obtain copies of these tender offer materials and any other documents filed with the AMF from the AMF’s website (http://www.amf-france.org) or with the SEC from the SEC’s website (http://www.sec.gov), in both cases without charge. Such materials filed by IBM and ILOG will also be available for free at IBM's web site (http://www.ibm.com), and at ILOG’s web site (http://www.ilog.com), respectively.

ILOG shareholders and warrant holders and other investors are urged to read carefully all tender offer materials prior to making any decisions with respect to the tender offers.
