SAN JOSE, Calif., - November 1, 2007 - Interwoven, Inc. (NASDAQ: IWOV), a global leader in content management solutions, today announced that it has closed the acquisition of privately-held Optimost LLC, a pioneer of software and services for Website optimization. Under the terms of the agreement between Optimost and Interwoven, Interwoven will pay approximately $52 million in cash for all outstanding shares of Optimost and assume certain existing employee stock options.

The acquisition combines Optimost's real-time multivariable testing and Website optimization capabilities with Interwoven's content management solutions to provide marketers with the industry's most complete set of capabilities for creating, deploying, testing, analyzing, and optimizing targeted content to Website visitors.

All Optimost employees, including the founders, Mark Wachen and Lance Lovette, have joined Interwoven and will focus on product innovation, customer support, and the continued acceleration of Interwoven's business in the online marketing arena.

The Optimost solutions are now available through Interwoven as a standalone offering as well as in conjunction with the solutions in Interwoven's portfolio.

Interwoven expects the Optimost acquisition to contribute in the range of $1.5 million to $2.0 million to total revenue during the fourth quarter of 2007, subsequent to the acquisition date and before considering purchase accounting adjustments to revenues of approximately $1.0 million.

Interwoven announced its intent to acquire Optimost on October 17, 2007. Please visit www.interwoven.com to read the acquisition announcement, as well as additional materials on the news, including a product demonstration, FAQ, podcast, and Website optimization brief.
