It's particularly exciting because they are not just interested in energy. -----Original Message----- From: Raj Mahajan [mailto:raj.mahajan@kiodex.com ] Sent: Saturday, June 02, 2001 11:17 PM To: KIODEX Staff Cc: KIODEX Board of Directors; 'sraatz@warburgpincus.com'; 'Hahn, Eugene' Subject: Conagra is our newest beta customer! Last week, our sales team signed Conagra Foods, a Fortune 100 company, to a beta license for the Risk Workbench. Based in Omaha, ConAgra is North America's largest foodservice supplier and the nation's second largest name in retail foods (www.conagra.com). In 2000, Conagra had revenues of over $25 billion, making it 68th on the Fortune 1000 list. Many of their consumer brands are household names: Hunt's tomato products, Healthy Choice, Louis Kemp, Libby's, Wesson, Country Pride, Blue Bonnet, Parkay, Reddi-wip, Marie Callender's, Butterball, Chef Boyardee, Orville Redenbacher's, Peter Pan, and Swiss Miss. They currently have a large risk management and trading operation in Omaha that hedges their exposure to energy and agricultural prices while engaging in some speculative trading. Kiodex will work directly with the principals in this division as well as senior management as they adopt the Risk Workbench for the purpose of conducting this mission critical function. Conagra represents a tremendous opportunity for Kiodex to enroll a Fortune 100 company in becoming a high-profile reference account for us as we launch on August 23rd. Our focus, beginning on July 9th, will be on converting this trophy client into a full paying customer (they are paying to participate in the beta program) of the Risk Workbench. I ask all of you to help us realize this opportunity. I would like to especially acknowledge Russ Chalom in our sales department for his work on this account. For the past 2 months, he has been aggressively courting Conagra, performing demonstrations for senior management, including the CEO. His lucid delivery and cogent explanation of the Risk Workbench value proposition created this opportunity for all of us. Well done, Russ!
