ENCINITAS -- June 17, 2002 -- i2/Trade Service has filed lawsuits against both Material Express Corporation and Vision Infosoft Corporation alleging copyright infringement on their PFMS data record layout. Vision and Material Express announced today that they believe this lawsuit is totally without merit and intend a vigorous defense.

According to John Evans, President/CEO of Vision Infosoft Corporation, "It is sad that a publicly traded company like i2 Corporation perpetuates the pricing service monopoly they acquired when they purchased Trade Service. This is all in an effort to squash the first serious pricing service competition since Trade Service bought National Price Service 10 years ago. We will fight this ridiculous lawsuit and continue to provide the electrical industry with great products and service. And most importantly, a pricing service alternative."
