ILOG Moves U.S. Headquarters To Larger Sunnyvale Facility To Support Growth and Expansion

Sunnyvale Mayor Otto Lee Awards Company Certificate of Congratulation on 20th Anniversary

SUNNYVALE, Calif. – May 21, 2007 - ILOG® (NASDAQ: ILOG; Euronext; ILO, ISIN: FR0004042364) today announced it has moved its U.S. headquarters to a larger facility at 1195 West Fremont Avenue in Sunnyvale, Calif., in the heart of Silicon Valley, to support the company’s growth and expansion. Sunnyvale Mayor Otto Lee and ILOG Chairman and CEO Pierre Haren marked the move with a ribbon-cutting ceremony today. The expansion to the larger Sunnyvale facility coincides with ILOG’s 20th anniversary as a company and 10th anniversary as a NASDAQ-listed company. To mark this achievement, the Mayor awarded the company a Certificate of Congratulation at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The 80,000 square-feet facility will house ILOG's U.S. finance and administration, sales, training and support services, marketing operations and research and development.

"We're excited to welcome an innovation-driven company like ILOG to our city and would like to congratulate ILOG on its 20-year run and 10-year anniversary on NASDAQ. I am proud to present ILOG the Certificate of Congratulation," said Otto Lee, Mayor of Sunnyvale. “ILOG has been a prominent part of Silicon Valley for the past 15 years, and this growth and expansion to the new facility and ILOG’s longevity is a testament to that. We wish ILOG continued growth and success.”

"We would like to thank Mayor Lee for being a part of ILOG's history by attending this ceremony," said Pierre Haren, chairman and CEO of ILOG. "We believe in being innovation leaders and we will continue to contribute to the Valley in a meaningful way. Through the past 20 years, ILOG has strived to be true to the spirit of innovation and change that makes Silicon Valley unique."
