Securities prospectus approved by BaFin 
First listing at the Prime Standard 
Bookbuilding period expected from 13 to 14 June 

Ratingen, 24 May 2007  - InVision Software AG has published details of its
intended IPO after obtaining ap-proval for its securities prospectus from
the Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungen (the German Federal Financial
Services Agency). Based in Ratingen, Germany, InVision develops and markets
workforce man-agement software applications. The intention is to conduct a
public offering in Germany and a private place-ment for institutional
investors in Europe. The company will present itself to German and
international institu-tional investors during a roadshow from 29 May to 11
June 2007. The share price range will be determined and published on 11
June 2007 in a decoupled bookbuilding procedure, based on feedback from
investors. Interested investors will be able to place subscription orders
for shares in InVision Software AG from 13 to 14 June 2007. The company is
planning its initial listing at the Prime Standard segment of the Frankfurt
Stock Exchange on 18 June 2007. WestLB AG is acting as the Sole Lead
Manager and Sole Bookrunner for this IPO. The Co-Lead Manager is
M.M.Warburg & Co.
InVision is offering a total of up to 1,077,000 shares in Germany and
selected countries within an international private placement. A total of
714,996 shares will stem from a capital increase and up to 221,530 shares
will come from a placement of secondary shares by InVision Holding GmbH,
which is owned by InVision’s foun-ders (who each own one third of the
holding). In addition, up to 140,474 shares will be made available by
InVi-sion Holding GmbH to provide a greenshoe option. In the course of the
IPO, the company’s capital stock could thus increase from 1,520,004 shares
to 2,235,000 shares. Even after the greenshoe option has been exer-cised,
the founders will retain a majority stake of 51 percent in the company.
InVision intends to use the proceeds from the IPO primarily to strengthen
its position in the market for work-force management solutions and, in
particular, to benefit from the growing demand for this type of
optimisation solutions by further expanding its sales operations. InVision
plans to expand and further internationalise its business activities by
increasing its strength in the areas of sales and professional services
within existing locations. Moreover, the company intends to continue
technical development of its product range as well as to expand its
capacities in the area of software development.
'We offer enterprise-wide applications that can be used across nearly all
industry sectors. There is enormous growth potential for our company, which
depends upon the successful expansion of our sales organisation', said
Peter Bollenbeck, CEO of InVision Software AG.

Since 1995, InVision has developed and marketed software applications with
which enterprises can plan and optimise the deployment of their staff.
Optimised employee schedules cut staff costs because an optimal num-ber of
employees is on duty at all times. The power and capability of InVision’s
optimisation applications has been continuously enhanced during over ten
years of development. Today, InVision claims the position of technology
leader in this field.
InVision’s core markets are relatively young and are growing rapidly,
according to the company. Studies con-ducted by leading market research
firms such as AMR Research and Frost & Sullivan have indicated average
growth rates of 16.0 (worldwide market for workforce management) to 20.5
percent (EMEA market for work-force management for call centres) per year
for the period from 2005 to 2010.
In recent years, InVision has invested substantial resources in expanding
its international sales activities and in new strategic initiatives
focusing on key accounts. Today, InVision is represented by eleven
subsidiaries, mainly in Europe and North America.
In the fiscal year 2006 (ending 31 December) InVision increased its
turnover by approx. 68 percent to €10.7 million. Earnings before interest
and taxes (EBIT) amounted to €1.9 million and the EBIT margin to approx. 18
percent in 2006. The company had net earnings after taxes of €1.4 million
for 2006. 'The sharp increase in turnover and earnings last year showed the
positive impact of our investment in marketing and the effect of our new
strategic initiative of focusing on key accounts,' said Peter Bollenbeck.
In the 1st quarter of 2007, turnover rose by about 95 percent from €1.4
million to €2.7 million. The increase resulted primarily from license fees
and services. Growth outside of the German-speaking markets (Germany,
Austria and Switzerland) was par-ticularly strong at approx. 153 percent
(to about €1.5 million).
