PHILADELPHIA, PA and EDISON, NJ--(Marketwire - June 11, 2009) - LLR Partners, one of the Mid-Atlantic's largest private equity investment firms, with more than $1.4 billion under management, and I-many, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: [ IMNY ]), a leading provider of contract management software and services for the enterprise, announced today that they have further amended their definitive merger agreement to increase the purchase price to approximately $0.61 per share in cash, an increase of an estimated $0.09 per share from the amended purchase price announced on June 3, 2009, or an increase of approximately 17% from the amended price announced on June 3, 2009 and approximately 42% from the original transaction announced on April 29, 2009.

The transaction is valued at $54.75 million, including amounts required to be applied to the repayment of I-many's Senior Convertible Notes and to other transaction-related payments, or approximately $33.5 million net of such amounts, as set forth in the amended merger agreement. The remainder of the merger agreement, as amended May 29, 2009 and further amended June 2, 2009, remains unchanged.

The parties agreed to the increased purchase price in response to a further unsolicited proposal from the previously announced other bidder, which I-many's board of directors evaluated as permitted by the terms of the merger agreement between I-many and LLR Partners.

The amendment to the merger agreement has been approved by LLR Partners and by I-many's board of directors. The guarantee previously delivered by LLR Partners in connection with the merger agreement remains in place, without any changes to its form. The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of I-many's stockholders at a meeting scheduled on June 25, 2009. It is expected to close shortly after the shareholder meeting, if approval is obtained.
