This Amendment No. 4 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement under cover of Schedule TO, as amended (the “Schedule TO”), originally filed on October 14, 2008 by International Business Machines Corporation, a New York corporation (“Parent”), and its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, CITLOI S.A.S., a société par actions simplifiée organized under the laws of the Republic of France (“Purchaser”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by CITLOI S.A.S. to acquire for cash all outstanding ordinary shares of ILOG S.A., a société anonyme organized under the laws of the Republic of France (“ILOG”), nominal value €1.00 (“Shares”), including Shares held in treasury by ILOG or its subsidiaries and Shares represented by American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), including any dividend payable for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, as well as all outstanding warrants issued by ILOG (“Warrants”), through concurrent offers in the United States (the “U.S. Offer”) and in France (the “French Offer” and, together with the U.S. Offer, the “Offers”). In the U.S. Offer, Purchaser is seeking to acquire all outstanding Shares and Warrants held by U.S. holders (within the meaning of Rule 14d-1(d) under the Exchange Act), as well as all outstanding ADSs held by holders wherever located, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the U.S. Offer to Purchase dated October 14, 2008 (the “U.S. Offer to Purchase”), the ADS letter of transmittal (the “ADS Letter of Transmittal”), and the forms of acceptance for Shares and Warrants (the “Forms of Acceptance”), copies of which are filed as Exhibits (a)(1)(A), (a)(1)(B), (a)(1)(F) and (a)(1)(I) to the Schedule TO, respectively. This Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule TO is being filed on behalf of Parent and Purchaser. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment No. 4 have the same meanings as in the Schedule TO or the U.S. Offer to Purchase. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 4 does not modify any of the information previously reported on Schedule TO.

Item 12 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following thereto:
