"Atego has been strongly committed to the Ada market for many
years, in fact one of its founders Jean Ichbiah (who created Aonix,
which was acquired by Atego in 2010), invented the Ada language. Ada
technology is a significant part of Atego's revenues and plays an
important role in Atego's strategy," said Pierre Cesarini, CEO of
Atego. "This acquisition will add considerable breadth and depth to
our solutions and services for complex and embedded Ada development,
reinforcing our position in the market and boosting our potential for
growth."

Atego is committed to continue its Ada investment in the future.
Within its 150 strong workforce, Atego has some of the leading expert
Ada engineers in the world, making it an industry leader for complex,
mission- and safety-critical Ada tooling.

Under the terms of the agreement, Atego will acquire the Rational
Ada Developer product line, including all products and intellectual
property. The IBM development and support staff responsible for IBM
Rational Ada Developer will join Atego. The acquisition will see all
of the IBM Rational Ada Developer employees integrated into Atego's
global business operations. Atego will rebrand the product family to'
Atego ApexAda Developer' and the core IDE product 'Rational Apex' to
'Atego Apex'.

The Atego ApexAda Developer family of host and embedded
development environments for Ada and mixed Ada/C/C++ applications
provide a single, scalable environment for creating and deploying
