TOKYO, PARIS and BIELEFELD, Germany, November 28 /PRNewswire/ --

NTT DATA EUROPE GmbH & Co. KG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Japanese IT 
company NTT DATA CORPORATION, today announced that it has entered into an 
agreement with Nobel SA Compagnie Financière, a 100 percent subsidiary of 
HSBC France SA and currently the second largest shareholder of itelligence 
AG, holding approx. 13 percent of the share capital. Under the agreement, NTT 
DATA EUROPE secured all itelligence shares currently held by Nobel SA at a 
consideration of 6.20 Euro per share - equal to the price that is currently 
being offered to all other shareholders of itelligence under the takeover 
offer.

On 13 November 2007, NTT DATA EUROPE launched a takeover offer for all
outstanding shares in itelligence AG, a leading international full-service
provider for solutions in the SAP environment, headquartered in
Bielefeld/Germany. This takeover offer includes a minimum acceptance
condition of 50 percent plus one share on a fully diluted basis. As of 26
November 2007, the takeover offer has already been accepted for 318,903
itelligence shares.

Taking into account the agreement with Nobel SA and the undertaking by
the itelligence CEO Herbert Vogel and his wife to tender at least half of
their stake in itelligence, a further acceptance of approximately 32 percent
is needed for the success of the offer.

"We are now even more confident that we will reach our targeted minimum
acceptance threshold and that we will close the takeover offer successfully",
says Takashi Enomoto, Executive Vice President at NTT DATA. "We have received
overwhelmingly positive signals from all directions: the employees of
itelligence, the company's Management and Supervisory Boards, SAP as a key
partner and itelligence' shareholders."

As announced on 23 October 2007, NTT DATA EUROPE is offering to pay 6.20
Euro per itelligence share in a cash takeover offer. The offer document was
published on 13 November 2007 and is available at
http://www.nttdataeurope.com. On 21 November 2007, the Management and
Supervisory Boards of itelligence have recommended to the shareholders of
itelligence to accept the offer. The transaction also has the backing of
itelligence' important business partner SAP. Merger control clearance was
given on 16 November 2007. NTT DATA intends to keep itelligence as a
separately listed company and to retain management and employees, while
supporting the company in its future growth. The transaction is part of NTT
DATA's expansion of its global IT service capabilities.
