Approximately 26.5 Million Shares to be Outstanding
SUNNYVALE, Calif., -August 27, 2003- Interwoven, Inc. (Nasdaq: IWOV), a world-leading provider of content management for the enterprise, today announced that its board of directors has authorized a one-for-four reverse stock split of Interwoven common stock, subject to shareholder approval. Shareholders of Interwoven will be asked to approve the stock split at Interwoven's special meeting of stockholders to be held in connection with the approval of the merger with iManage, Inc.

"We believe that the reverse stock split will position our stock in a price range more attractive to a broader range of institutional investors," said Martin Brauns, chairman and chief executive officer of Interwoven. "We are proud of the momentum and increasing market impact that Interwoven has had. The company has made significant operational and financial progress in 2003, including the acquisition of digital asset management leader, MediaBin, and the recently announced plans to merge with iManage. Realigning our share base is one more step in our process of delivering long-term shareholder value."
