April 26, 2011

Dear eLoyalty Stockholder:

On behalf of the board of directors and management of eLoyalty Corporation, I cordially invite you to attend the 2011 Annual Meeting of eLoyalty’s stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The Annual Meeting will be held at 9:00 a.m. Central Time on Thursday, May 19, 2011, at the LaQuinta Inn & Suites, 2000 S. Lakeside Drive, Bannockburn, IL 60015.

In addition to the election of three Class III directors, the ratification of the appointment of our independent public accountants for 2011, the approval, by a non-binding advisory vote, of our executive compensation program (“Say on Pay Proposal”), and a recommendation, by a non-binding advisory vote, for the frequency of advisory votes on our executive compensation program (“Frequency Vote on Say on Pay”), we are also seeking your approval for an important transaction. On March 17, 2011, eLoyalty entered into an acquisition agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with TeleTech Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Magellan Acquisition Sub, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of TeleTech Holdings, Inc. (collectively, “TeleTech”), pursuant to which TeleTech will purchase substantially all of the assets, and assume certain of the liabilities, related to the Integrated Contact Solutions Business Unit and the “eLoyalty” registered trademark / trade name of eLoyalty Corporation. These assets and liabilities are referred to as the “ICS Business.” If the sale is completed, eLoyalty will receive cash consideration in the amount of $40.85 million less certain adjustments as set forth in the Acquisition Agreement. The full text of the Acquisition Agreement is included as Annex A to the proxy statement that accompanies this letter.

At the Annual Meeting, eLoyalty will ask you to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the sale of the ICS Business as contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement (the “Proposal to Sell the ICS Business”). You will also be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) to change our name to Mattersight Corporation (the “Name Change Charter Amendment”). If there are insufficient votes in favor of the preceding proposals, eLoyalty will ask you to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the Annual Meeting to solicit additional proxies (the “Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting”).

Our board of directors, after careful consideration, has approved the Acquisition Agreement and determined that the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business and the Name Change Charter Amendment are advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, eLoyalty and its stockholders. Our board of directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business, “FOR” the Name Change Charter Amendment, “FOR” the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, “FOR” the election of the three directors identified herein, “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent public accountants for the 2011 fiscal year, “FOR” the Say on Pay Proposal, and for “3 YEARS” with respect to the Frequency Vote on Say on Pay. Details of the business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting are given in the attached Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement. At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will have an opportunity to comment and ask appropriate questions.

The Proposal to Sell the ICS Business and the Name Change Charter Amendment must be approved by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. In connection with the Acquisition Agreement, our directors, executive officers, and certain stockholders entered into voting agreements with TeleTech, the forms of which are included as Annex B to the proxy statement that accompanies this letter. Pursuant to the terms of the voting agreements, each such stockholder agreed to vote all of his, her, or its shares of eLoyalty stock for the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business and the Name Change Charter Amendment. As of March 24, 2011, the record date for the Annual Meeting, these

stockholders had voting power over approximately 48.5% of our outstanding shares of stock. The Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting, the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent public accountants, and the Say on Pay Proposal must each be approved by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of shares of eLoyalty Stock outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. The nominees for director will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, meaning the nominees who receive the greatest number of votes will be elected as directors. The Frequency Vote on Say on Pay will also be determined by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, meaning the frequency that receives the greatest number of votes will be selected.

The completion of the proposed sale of the ICS Business is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions. More information about the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business, the Name Change Charter Amendment, and the other business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting is contained in the accompanying proxy statement. We encourage you to read the accompanying proxy statement in its entirety because it describes the proposed sale and documents related to the proposed sale and related transactions and provides specific information about the Annual Meeting. You may also obtain more information about eLoyalty from documents we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

On behalf of our board of directors, we thank you for your continued support of eLoyalty. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to read the accompanying proxy statement and vote promptly. To ensure that your shares are represented at the meeting, whether or not you plan to attend the meeting in person, we urge you to submit a proxy with your voting instructions by telephone, via the Internet, or by signing, dating, and mailing your proxy card in accordance with the instructions provided on it.

Sincerely,

/s/ Kelly D. Conway

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS, THE NAME CHANGE CHARTER AMENDMENT, AND THE ANNUAL MEETING

The following questions and answers address briefly some questions you might have regarding the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business, the Name Change Charter Amendment and the Annual Meeting. These questions and answers might not address all questions that might be important to you as a stockholder of eLoyalty. Please refer to the more detailed information contained elsewhere in this proxy statement, the annexes to this proxy statement and the documents referred to or incorporated by reference in this proxy statement.

Questions and Answers about the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business

What is the proposed transaction?

The proposed transaction is the sale of substantially all of the assets, and the assumption of certain liabilities, related to our Integrated Contact Solutions Business Unit, including the “eLoyalty” registered trademark / trade name, pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, dated as of March 17, 2011, by and between eLoyalty and TeleTech. These assets and liabilities are referred to as the ICS Business.

Why did we agree to sell the ICS Business?

In reaching its determination to enter into the Acquisition Agreement and approve the sale of the ICS Business, our board of directors consulted with our management and our legal and financial advisors and considered a number of factors. After careful evaluation of the potential benefits, negative factors, and other material considerations relating to the sale of the ICS Business and the Acquisition Agreement, our board of directors concluded that the sale of the ICS Business and entering into the Acquisition Agreement are advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, eLoyalty and its stockholders. See “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Reasons for the Sale of the ICS Business.”

Have any stockholders already agreed to approve the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business?

Yes. The Company’s directors, executive officers and certain stockholders, who, as of the Record Date, collectively had voting power over approximately 48.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of eLoyalty Stock, entered into voting agreements with TeleTech. Under the voting agreements, unless the Acquisition Agreement is terminated, including in connection with our receipt of a superior proposal as further described under “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Terms of the Voting Agreements,” these stockholders have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to vote their shares for the approval of the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business.

When is the sale of the ICS Business expected to be completed?

Unless the Acquisition Agreement is terminated prior to the Annual Meeting, the sale of the ICS Business will occur as soon as practicable after the Annual Meeting, assuming all of the conditions in the Acquisition Agreement have been satisfied or waived. We and TeleTech are working toward satisfying the conditions to closing and completing the sale of the ICS Business as soon as reasonably practicable.

What will happen after the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business is approved by our stockholders?

After the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business is approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting and other conditions to the sale are satisfied, we will sell the ICS Business to TeleTech and continue to operate our Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit, which will be our only remaining business. We will remain a public company.

What will happen if the Acquisition Agreement is terminated?

If the Acquisition Agreement is terminated, then the sale of the ICS Business will not be completed as currently contemplated. In such event, we would continue to conduct our business as currently conducted and would evaluate all available strategic alternatives. Under specified circumstances, eLoyalty might be required to pay TeleTech $1.5 million as a termination fee and/or up to $500,000 in reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in the event that the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement are not completed. See “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Termination Fees.”

What will happen to my shares of eLoyalty Stock if the sale of the ICS Business is completed?

A stockholder who owns shares of eLoyalty Stock immediately prior to the closing of the sale of the ICS Business, subject to any actions taken solely by the stockholder, will continue to hold the same number of shares immediately following the closing. As a result of the proposed sale, the holders of Series B Stock will be entitled to receive a liquidation preference of approximately $19.4 million before any dividends or distributions can be made to the holders of Common Stock. Of this amount, we currently expect to pay approximately $1.3 million, representing dividends in arrears, immediately following the closing. We also intend to assess from time to time after the closing whether we have available funds for a full or partial distribution of the remaining liquidation preference to the holders of Series B Stock. See “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Post-Closing Business and Proceeds from the Sale of the ICS Business.”

How was the purchase price for the ICS Business determined?

The purchase price for the ICS Business was negotiated between our board of directors and our representatives and representatives of TeleTech over a period of several months. Our board of directors selected the proposed sale of the ICS Business to TeleTech among the alternatives we were pursuing, among other reasons, because our board of directors believed it to be in the best interests of eLoyalty and its stockholders, offered the best value, and was likely to be completed. See “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Background of the Sale of the ICS Business.”

Questions and Answers about the Name Change Charter Amendment

What is the proposed Name Change Charter Amendment?

The proposed Name Change Charter Amendment would change our name from “eLoyalty Corporation” to “Mattersight Corporation” upon the closing of the sale of the ICS Business.

Why are we asking for a stockholder vote for the Name Change Charter Amendment?

Delaware law requires that we obtain approval from our stockholders in order to amend our Charter.

Why are we changing our name?

We believe that the name “Mattersight Corporation” more closely aligns our public identity with our Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit, which will be our only remaining business and the sole focus of our board of directors and management after the sale of the ICS Business. Also, we are selling the rights to use the name and registered trademark “eLoyalty” to TeleTech. Therefore, after the closing of the sale of the ICS Business, we will be unable to continue using the name “eLoyalty,” subject to limited exceptions, without TeleTech’s consent.

What effect will the Name Change Charter Amendment have upon currently outstanding stock?

transferability of any currently outstanding stock certificates that bear the name “eLoyalty Corporation,” nor will it be necessary for stockholders with certificated shares to surrender or exchange any stock certificates they currently hold as a result of the name change. Uncertificated shares currently held in direct registration accounts and any new stock certificates that are issued after the name change becomes effective will bear the name “Mattersight Corporation.” Finally, if the Name Change Charter Amendment is approved, we expect that the trading symbol for our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Market will be changed from “ELOY” to “MATR.”

Is the Name Change Charter Amendment conditioned on the closing of the sale of the ICS Business?

Yes. The Name Change Charter Amendment is conditioned upon the closing of the sale of the ICS Business. If the closing of the sale of the ICS Business does not occur, then we will not file the Name Change Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to change our name.

Have any stockholders already agreed to approve the Name Change Charter Amendment?

Yes. Pursuant to the voting agreement described above, the Company’s directors, executive officers and certain stockholders, who, as of the Record Date, collectively had voting power over approximately 48.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of eLoyalty Stock, have agreed to vote the shares of eLoyalty Stock owned by them in favor of the Name Change Charter Amendment. See “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Terms of the Voting Agreements.”

Questions and Answers about the Annual Meeting

Why did you send me this proxy statement?

You are receiving a proxy statement and proxy card because you owned shares of eLoyalty Stock as of the Record Date. This proxy statement and proxy card relate to our Annual Meeting (and any adjournment thereof) and describe the matters on which we would like you, as a stockholder, to vote. This proxy statement summarizes information you need to know to vote at the Annual Meeting. All stockholders are cordially invited to attend the Annual Meeting in person. However, you do not need to attend the meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply vote by proxy through the Internet, by telephone, or by mail.

We included the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business in this proxy statement because we are required to obtain the approval of our stockholders in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of our assets. We believe that the sale of the ICS Business likely constitutes a sale of substantially all of our assets under Delaware law, as revenue from the ICS Business accounted for $60 million, or 68%, of our total revenues of $88 million for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011. In addition, the ICS Business has historically produced net income while our remaining Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit has operated at a loss.

When and where will the Annual Meeting be held?

The Annual Meeting will be held at the LaQuinta Inn & Suites, 2000 S. Lakeside Drive, Bannockburn, IL 60015, on Thursday, May 19, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. Central Time.

What is the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting?

The Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting would permit us to adjourn or postpone the Annual Meeting if a quorum is present. A quorum will be present at the Annual Meeting if the holders of a majority of the shares of eLoyalty Stock outstanding and entitled to vote generally in the election of directors on the Record Date are present, either in person or by proxy. We would adjourn the Annual Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies in the event that, at the Annual Meeting, the affirmative vote in favor of the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business and the Name Change Charter Amendment is less than a majority of shares of eLoyalty Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Holders of approximately 48.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of eLoyalty Stock have agreed to vote the shares of eLoyalty Stock owned by them in favor of the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business and the Name Change Charter Amendment.

What will happen if the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting is approved by our stockholders?

If the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting is approved and the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business and the Name Change Charter Amendment are not approved at the Annual Meeting while a quorum is present, then we will be able to adjourn or postpone the Annual Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies to approve the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business and the Name Change Charter Amendment. If you have previously submitted a proxy on the proposals discussed in this proxy statement and wish to revoke it upon adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting, you may do so.

Am I entitled to appraisal or dissenters’ rights in connection with the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business, the Name Change Charter Amendment, or the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting?

No. The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware does not provide for stockholder appraisal or dissenters’ rights in connection with these types of actions.

What will I be asked to vote upon at the Annual Meeting?

At the Annual Meeting, you will be asked to vote upon the following:

•

to approve the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business;

•

to approve the Name Change Charter Amendment;

•

to approve the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting, if necessary or appropriate;

•

to elect three Class III directors to serve for an ensuing term of three years;

•

to ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent public accountants for 2011;

•

to approve, on an advisory basis, the Say on Pay Proposal; and

•

to elect, on an advisory basis, the frequency of advisory votes on our executive compensation program.

How does our board of directors recommend that our stockholders vote?

After careful consideration, our board of directors recommends that you vote:

•

“FOR” the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business;

•

“FOR” the Name Change Charter Amendment;

•

“FOR” the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting;

•

“FOR” the election of the three directors identified herein;

•

“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent public accountants for the 2011 fiscal year;

•

“FOR” the Say on Pay Proposal; and

•

For “3 YEARS” with respect to the Frequency Vote on Say on Pay.

You should read “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Reasons for the Sale of the ICS Business” for a discussion of the factors that our board of directors considered in deciding to recommend the approval of the sale of the ICS Business. In addition, in considering the recommendation of our board of directors with respect to the sale of the ICS Business, you should be aware that some of our directors and executive officers have interests in the transaction that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally. See “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Interests of Certain Persons in the Sale of the ICS Business.”

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

You are entitled to vote if you owned shares of eLoyalty Stock as of the close of business on March 24, 2011 (the “Record Date”). Each share of eLoyalty Stock is entitled to one vote and there is no cumulative voting. As of the Record Date we had 19,162,325 shares of eLoyalty Stock outstanding. Both Delaware law and our bylaws require our board of directors to establish a record date in order to determine who is entitled to receive notice of the Annual Meeting, and to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting and any continuations, adjournments or postponements of the meeting.

How many votes must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

In order to conduct the business of the Annual Meeting, we must have a quorum. A quorum requires the presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the 19,162,325 shares of eLoyalty Stock outstanding and entitled to vote generally in the election of directors on the Record Date. Your shares are counted as present if you attend the meeting and vote in person or if you properly return a proxy over the Internet, by telephone or by mail. Abstentions will be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum. See “THE ANNUAL MEETING—Record Date and Quorum.”

What vote is required to approve each of the proposals?

The Proposal to Sell the ICS Business and the Name Change Charter Amendment must be approved by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of eLoyalty Stock outstanding and entitled to vote as of the close of business on the Record Date. The Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting, the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent public accountants, and the Say on Pay Proposal must each be approved by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of eLoyalty Stock outstanding and entitled to vote as of the close of business on the Record Date and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. The nominees for director will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, meaning the nominees who receive the greatest number of votes will be elected as directors. The Frequency Vote on Say on Pay will also be determined by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, meaning the frequency that receives the greatest number of votes will be the choice of stockholders. See “THE ANNUAL MEETING—Vote Required for Approval.”

How do I vote or change my vote?

You may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or by proxy through the Internet, by telephone, or by mail. You may revoke your proxy at any time before the voting at the Annual Meeting by: voting again at a later date by telephone or through the Internet; submitting a new proxy that is properly signed with a later date; sending a properly signed written notice of your revocation to our Corporate Secretary, at eLoyalty Corporation, 150 Field Drive, Suite 250, Lake Forest, Illinois 60045, Attention: Corporate Secretary; or voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not itself revoke an earlier submitted proxy. If your shares are held in street name through a broker, bank, or other nominee, then you must contact your broker, bank, or nominee to revoke your proxy. See “THE ANNUAL MEETING—Voting, Proxies and Revocation.”

If my shares are held in “street name” by my broker, will my broker vote my shares for me?

Your broker or nominee is not permitted to use discretion and vote your shares on non-routine matters without your instructions. Shares that are not permitted to be voted by your broker are called “broker non-votes.” Without your instructions, your shares will not be voted by your broker, which will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business and “AGAINST” the Name Change Charter Amendment. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors, the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent public accountants for the 2011 fiscal year, the Say on Pay Proposal, or the Frequency Vote on Say on Pay. See “THE ANNUAL MEETING—Vote Required for Approval.”

How are proxies solicited?

This proxy solicitation is being made and paid for by eLoyalty on behalf of its board of directors. Our directors, officers, and employees may solicit proxies by personal interview, mail, email, telephone, facsimile, or other means of communication. These directors, officers, and employees will not be paid additional remuneration for their efforts. We will also request brokers and other fiduciaries to forward proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares of eLoyalty Stock that the brokers and fiduciaries hold of record. Upon request, we will reimburse the brokers and other fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for doing this.

What does it mean if I get more than one proxy card?

If your shares are registered differently and are in more than one account, then you might receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date, and return all of the proxy cards you receive regarding the Annual Meeting to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

How are proxies counted?

On all matters, each share has one vote. The Proposal to Sell the ICS Business and the Name Change Charter Amendment require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares outstanding as of the Record Date. Since the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business and the Name Change Charter Amendment require the approval of the holders of a majority of our shares outstanding as of the Record Date, both broker “non-votes” and abstentions would have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” such proposals. The Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting, the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent public accountants, and the Say on Pay Proposal must each be approved by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of shares of eLoyalty Stock outstanding and entitled to vote as of the Record Date and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. A failure to vote your shares of eLoyalty Stock or a broker non-vote will have no effect on the outcome of the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting, the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent public accountants, and the Say on Pay Proposal. An abstention will have the same effect as voting “AGAINST” the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting, the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent public accountants, and the Say on Pay Proposal. The nominees for director will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, meaning the nominees who receive the greatest number of votes will be elected as directors. The Frequency Vote on Say on Pay will also be determined by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, meaning the frequency that receives the greatest number of votes will be the choice of stockholders. With respect to the election of our directors and the Frequency Vote on Say on Pay, neither broker “non-votes” nor abstentions are included in the tabulation of the voting results and, therefore, do not have the effect of votes “AGAINST” such proposal.

SUMMARY TERM SHEET

This summary, together with the question and answer section that precedes this section, highlights selected information from the proxy statement about the sale of assets, and the assumption of certain liabilities, related to our Integrated Contact Solutions Business Unit and the “eLoyalty” registered trademark / trade name. These assets and liabilities are referred to as the “ICS Business.” This summary and the question and answer section may not contain all of the information that is important to you. For a more complete description of the sale of the ICS Business, you should carefully read this proxy statement and the Acquisition Agreement attached hereto as Annex A before you vote. The location of the more detailed description of each item in this summary is provided in the parentheses listed below. See also “Where You Can Obtain Additional Information” on page 115.

Parties to the Acquisition Agreement (page 18)

eLoyalty Corporation

eLoyalty is a customer interaction consulting and managed services company. We have been designing and implementing large-scale customer interaction solutions since 1990, and we possess unparalleled experience and qualifications in these application areas. We help our clients achieve breakthrough results with revolutionary analytics and advanced technologies that drive continuous business improvement. We currently operate our business through two primary business units: the Behavioral Analytics™ Service and Integrated Contact Solutions. The Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit focuses on solutions that improve the reliability of call recording and applies human behavioral modeling to analyze and improve customer interactions. The Behavioral Analytics™ Service is primarily a hosted solution and is delivered as a managed subscription service. The Integrated Contact Solutions Business Unit focuses on helping clients realize the benefits of transitioning their contact centers to a single network infrastructure from the traditional two-network (voice network and separate data network) model. We have agreed to sell our Integrated Contact Solutions Business Unit pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement.

TeleTech Holdings, Inc.

TeleTech is one of the largest global providers of onshore, offshore, and work from home business process outsourcing services focusing on revenue generation, customer and enterprise management, and technology-enabled solutions. TeleTech helps Global 1000 companies enhance their strategic capabilities, improve quality and lower costs by designing, implementing and managing their critical front- and back-office processes. TeleTech provides a 24 x 7, 365 day fully integrated global solution that spans people, process, proprietary technology and infrastructure for governments and private sector clients in the automotive, broadband, cable, financial services, government, healthcare, logistics, media and entertainment, retail, technology, travel, and wireline and wireless communication industries.

The Purchase and Sale of the ICS Business (page 39)

Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, dated as of March 17, 2011, by and between eLoyalty and TeleTech, we have agreed to sell substantially all of the assets related to the ICS Business, including the “eLoyalty” registered trademark / trade name, to TeleTech.

Purchase Price (page 40)

If the sale of the ICS Business pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement is completed, then TeleTech will pay us an aggregate cash purchase price of $40.85 million, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Acquisition Agreement. Of the total purchase price, $1.5 million will be funded into an escrow account to satisfy our obligations under any indemnity claims that may be made by TeleTech. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on a managed services amount (generally, unearned revenue less prepaid expenses) as of the closing date, which we will be required to transfer with the ICS Business. The purchase price will also be adjusted to the extent the ICS Business’s working capital ratio (generally, the ratio of current assets, excluding prepaid-cost deferrals, to current liabilities, excluding unearned revenue) is greater or less than 1.21 as of the closing date.

Post-Closing Business and Proceeds from the Sale of the ICS Business (page 36)

After giving effect to our payment of estimated transaction fees and expenses and before giving effect to purchase price adjustments set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, we estimate that the net cash proceeds from our sale of the ICS Business will be approximately $38.9 million. The purchase price adjustments set forth in the Acquisition Agreement will cause the actual amount of net cash proceeds to vary from this estimate. The purchase price adjustments will require that we transfer cash with the ICS Business at closing representing certain net managed services amounts, which amounts were equal to approximately $11.7 million as of January 1, 2011.

We intend to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the ICS Business to support our Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit, which will be our only remaining business. As a result of the proposed sale, the holders of Series B Stock will be entitled to receive a liquidation preference of approximately $19.4 million before any dividends or distributions can be made to the holders of Common Stock. Of this amount, we currently expect to pay approximately $1.3 million, representing dividends in arrears, immediately following the closing. We also intend to assess from time to time after the closing whether we have available funds for a full or partial distribution of the remaining liquidation preference to the holders of the Series B Stock.

Technology Crossover Ventures (“TCV”), the holder of a majority of the outstanding Series B Stock, has expressed its position that a cash payment equal to the full amount of the liquidation preference is due to the holders of Series B Stock immediately upon the closing of the proposed sale. Based on the advice of our legal counsel, we do not agree with TCV’s position. On April 26, 2011, we entered into an agreement with TCV providing that, subject to certain conditions, we and TCV will submit to a final and binding arbitration in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware no later than 45 days following the closing of the sale of the ICS Business in the event that the parties have not reached a resolution prior to such time. During the pendency of any arbitration, we agreed to maintain cash and cash equivalents in an amount sufficient to pay in full the liquidation preference on the Series B Stock. See “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Post-Closing Business and Proceeds from the Sale of the ICS Business.”

Vote Required for Approval of the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business, the Name Change Charter Amendment, and Adjournment of the Annual Meeting (page 15)

The Proposal to Sell the ICS Business and the Name Change Charter Amendment must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares of eLoyalty Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares of eLoyalty Stock outstanding and entitled to vote and present at the Annual Meeting. See “THE ANNUAL MEETING—Vote Required for Approval.”

The Annual Meeting (pages 3, 14)

See “Questions and Answers about the Annual Meeting” and “THE ANNUAL MEETING.”

Reasons for the Sale of the ICS Business (page 26); Recommendation of Our Board of Directors (page 53)

In reaching its determination to enter into the Acquisition Agreement and approve the sale of the ICS Business, our board of directors consulted with our management and our legal and financial advisors and considered a number of factors, including possible alternatives to the sale, the sale process and terms, and the opinion of NeXtAdvisors, LLC, a unit of North Point Advisors LLC, a member of FINRA (“NeXtAdvisors”), our financial advisor. After careful evaluation of the potential benefits, negative factors, and other material

considerations relating to the sale of the ICS Business and the Acquisition Agreement, our board of directors concluded that the sale of the ICS Business and our entering into the Acquisition Agreement are advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, eLoyalty and our stockholders.

Our board of directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business, “FOR” the Name Change Charter Amendment, and “FOR” the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Sale of the ICS Business (page 38)

In considering the recommendation of our board of directors with respect to the Acquisition Agreement, our stockholders should be aware that some of our directors and executive officers have interests in the sale of the ICS Business that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally. See “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Interests of Certain Persons in the Sale of the ICS Business.”

Opinion of NeXtAdvisors (page 30)

On March 11, 2011, NeXtAdvisors delivered its oral opinion, which opinion was subsequently confirmed in writing that day, to our board of directors to the effect that, as of such date and based upon the assumptions made, matters considered, and limits of such review, in each case as set forth in its opinion, the consideration to be received by eLoyalty pursuant to the proposed sale of the ICS Business to TeleTech was fair from a financial point of view to eLoyalty.

The full text of the written opinion of NeXtAdvisors, dated as of March 11, 2011, which sets forth the assumptions made, matters considered, and limits on the scope of the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached as Annex C to this proxy statement. The summary of NeXtAdvisors’ opinion contained in this proxy statement is qualified by reference to the full text of NeXtAdvisors’ opinion, and you are encouraged to carefully read the opinion in its entirety. NeXtAdvisors’ opinion was delivered to our board of directors for its use and benefit in its evaluation of the sale of the ICS Business to TeleTech, does not address the merits of the underlying decision by eLoyalty to sell the ICS Business, and does not constitute a recommendation to any eLoyalty stockholder as to how to vote on the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business.

Governmental and Regulatory Approvals (page 35)

Neither eLoyalty nor TeleTech is aware of any regulatory approvals required to be obtained, or waiting periods to expire, to complete the sale of the ICS Business to TeleTech. If the parties discover that approvals or waiting periods are necessary, then they will seek to obtain or comply with them.

Certain U.S. Income Tax Consequences (page 35)

The sale of the ICS Business should not result in any current United States federal income tax consequences to our stockholders. We expect to recognize a gain for United States federal income tax purposes on the sale of the ICS Business. However, based on the results of an analysis that we have undertaken with assistance of our tax advisors, we expect that for United States federal income tax purposes all or substantially all of the taxable gain resulting from the sale of the ICS Business will be offset by available net operating losses. See “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Certain U.S Income Tax Consequences.”

Nature of Our Business Following the Sale of the ICS Business (pages 36, 73)

Following the sale of the ICS Business and the effectiveness of the Name Change Charter Amendment, we will continue to be a public company operating under the name Mattersight Corporation, and our Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit will account for all of our revenues.

Terms of the Acquisition Agreement (page 39)

In the Acquisition Agreement, we make representations and warranties and have agreed to covenants, indemnification obligations, and other customary provisions. You are encouraged to read carefully the Acquisition Agreement in its entirety, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex A, and “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Terms of the Acquisition Agreement.”

Termination of the Acquisition Agreement (page 49)

The Acquisition Agreement may be terminated by either party if the sale of the ICS Business is not completed on or before July 3, 2011 or upon the issuance of an order or injunction by any governmental entity. TeleTech may terminate the Acquisition Agreement if (i) we do not receive stockholder approval of the Sale of the ICS Business by June 15, 2011, (ii) our board of directors withdraws its recommendation that our stockholders approve the Acquisition Agreement, (iii) we willfully and materially breach any of our obligations with respect to alternative acquisition proposals, (iv) we intentionally or recklessly breach any representation or warranty or covenant in the Acquisition Agreement such that conditions to TeleTech’s obligations to close are not met; or (v) any information we disclose to TeleTech after signing the Acquisition Agreement could reasonably be expected to give rise to a material adverse effect. We may terminate the Acquisition Agreement if (a) we enter into a third-party acquisition agreement that provides for a superior proposal (as defined in “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Terms of the Acquisition Agreement—Covenants and Agreements”) prior to receipt of our stockholders’ approval or (b) TeleTech breaches any representation or warranty or covenant in the Acquisition Agreement such that conditions to our obligations to close are not met. See “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Terms of the Acquisition Agreement—Covenants and Agreements.”

Termination Fee and Expense Reimbursement (page 50)

If the Acquisition Agreement is terminated under circumstances described in detail elsewhere in this proxy statement and in the Acquisition Agreement, then we will be obligated to pay TeleTech $1.5 million as a termination fee and/or up to $500,000 in reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the proposed sale of the ICS Business. See “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Terms of the Acquisition Agreement—Termination Fees”

Restrictions on Solicitation of Other Offers (page 45)

The Acquisition Agreement provides that, from the date of the Acquisition Agreement until the earlier of the closing date or the termination of the Acquisition Agreement in accordance with its terms, eLoyalty may not, directly or indirectly, initiate, solicit, encourage, or participate in any discussions regarding an acquisition proposal (as defined in “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Terms of the Acquisition Agreement—Covenants and Agreements”) by a party other than TeleTech, subject to the exceptions described below. If, however, we receive an unsolicited acquisition proposal that our board of directors determines in good faith after consultation with our legal and financial advisors is, or is reasonably likely to result in, a superior proposal (as defined in “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Terms of the Acquisition Agreement—Covenants and Agreements”) from a party other than TeleTech prior to receipt of our stockholders’ approval of the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business, and such offer does not arise from a breach of the restrictions on solicitation of other offers, we may furnish information concerning our business, properties, or assets pursuant to a confidentiality agreement and negotiate and participate in discussions and negotiations concerning an acquisition proposal. Further, prior to receipt of our stockholders’ approval of the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business, our board of directors may withdraw or modify its recommendation to vote for “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS” if our board determines in good faith, after receiving advice of legal and financial advisors and taking into account any binding offer by TeleTech to amend the terms of the Acquisition Agreement and other factors related to the certainty of the acquisition proposal, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to constitute a breach by our board of its fiduciary duties to our stockholders under Delaware law. See “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Terms of the Acquisition Agreement—Covenants and Agreements.”

Conditions to Closing (page 48)

The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement is subject to, among other things, the approval of our stockholders described above, receipt of certain required third-party consents and approvals, each party’s respective representations and warranties in the Acquisition Agreement being true and correct as of the closing date to the standards described in the Acquisition Agreement, each party’s performance in all material respects of its obligations required to be performed under the Acquisition Agreement on or prior to the closing date, EBITDA for the ICS Business for the twelve month period ended on March 31, 2011 exceeding $8,000,000, and each party’s delivery to the other party of all applicable transaction documents pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement. See “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Terms of the Acquisition Agreement—Conditions to the Sale of the ICS Business.”

Indemnification (page 51)

The Acquisition Agreement provides that, subject to specified exceptions, eLoyalty and TeleTech will be liable to each other for breaches of certain representations and warranties as set forth in the Acquisition Agreement if, and only to the extent, aggregate damages for such breaches exceed $200,000. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, each party’s indemnification obligations are subject to a cap of $2.0 million. To provide a partial fund against which TeleTech may assert an indemnification claim pursuant to the foregoing, $1.5 million of the purchase price will be put in escrow and disbursed to us on the six month anniversary of the closing. In addition, we are required to indemnify TeleTech for any breach or failure by eLoyalty to perform any of the covenants of eLoyalty contained in the Acquisition Agreement, any liabilities arising from, or in connection with, any retained liability or any excluded asset, or from the noncompliance with any legal requirement related to fraud, intentional misrepresentation, or criminal acts committed by or on our behalf on or prior to the closing date.

Except as otherwise provided in the Acquisition Agreement, the indemnification provisions set forth in the Acquisition Agreement constitute the sole and exclusive remedy available to eLoyalty and TeleTech with respect to breaches of the representations, warranties, and covenants set forth in the Acquisition Agreement (other than each party’s right to specific performance or injunctive relief or in cases of other willful misconduct).

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this proxy statement that are not historical facts (such as those related to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement, our intended operations after the closing, and our use of proceeds from the sale of the ICS Business) are “forward-looking statements” that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “Exchange Act.” These forward-looking statements, which may be identified by use of words such as “plan,” “may,” “might,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “should,” and other words and terms of similar meaning, in connection with any discussion of our prospects, financial statements, business, financial condition, revenues, results of operations, or liquidity, involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. In addition to other factors and matters contained or incorporated in this document, important factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include, among other things:

•

the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Acquisition Agreement;

In addition, we are subject to risks and uncertainties and other factors detailed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2011, which should be read in conjunction with this proxy statement. See “Where You Can Obtain Additional Information” on page 115. Many of the factors that will impact the completion of the proposed transactions are beyond our ability to control or predict.

In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements contained in this proxy statement, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

THE ANNUAL MEETING

Time, Place, and Purpose of the Annual Meeting

This proxy statement is being furnished to our stockholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by our board of directors for use at the Annual Meeting to be held at the LaQuinta Inn & Suites, 2000 S. Lakeside Drive, Bannockburn, IL 60015 on Thursday, May 19, 2011, at 9:00 a.m. Central Time, or at any postponement or adjournment thereof. The proxy materials, together with a copy of eLoyalty’s Annual Report, are first being mailed to our stockholders beginning on or about April 29, 2011.

The purpose of the Annual Meeting is for our stockholders to consider and vote upon the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business, the Name Change Charter Amendment, the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting (if necessary or appropriate), the election of three Class III directors to serve for an ensuing term of three years, the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent public accountants for 2011, the Say on Pay Proposal, and the Frequency Vote on Say on Pay.

Recommendation of Our Board of Directors

Our board of directors, after careful consideration, has approved the Acquisition Agreement and determined that the sale of the ICS Business is advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, eLoyalty and our stockholders. Our board of directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business, “FOR” the Name Change Charter Amendment, “FOR” the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies, “FOR” the election of the three directors identified herein, “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent public accountants for the 2011 fiscal year, “FOR” the Say on Pay Proposal, and for “3 YEARS” with respect to the Frequency Vote on Say on Pay. For a discussion of the material factors considered by our board of directors in reaching its conclusions regarding the sale of the ICS Business, see “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Reasons for the Sale of the ICS Business.”

Record Date and Quorum

Only holders of record of shares of eLoyalty Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), and holders of record of shares of eLoyalty 7% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Series B Stock”; together with the Common Stock, “eLoyalty Stock”), at the close of business on March 24, 2011 (the “Record Date”) may vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, 19,162,325 shares of eLoyalty Stock, comprising 15,613,247 shares of Common Stock and 3,549,078 shares of Series B Stock, were outstanding and entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting. Each share of eLoyalty Stock entitles the holder to one vote and both classes of eLoyalty Stock will vote together as a single class on (i) the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business, (ii) the Name Change Charter Amendment, (iii) the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting (if necessary or appropriate), (iv) the election of three Class III directors to serve for an ensuing term of three years, (v) the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent public accountants for 2011, (vi) the Say on Pay Proposal, and (vii) the Frequency Vote on Say on Pay.

A quorum is necessary to hold a valid Annual Meeting. A quorum will be present at the Annual Meeting if the holders of a majority of the shares of eLoyalty Stock outstanding and entitled to vote generally in the election of directors on the Record Date are present, either in person or by proxy. Abstentions are counted for purposes of a quorum. Without your instructions, your broker or nominee is not permitted to use discretion and vote your shares on non-routine matters, such as the election of directors. Therefore, if you do not provide your broker or nominee instructions with respect to the election of directors, your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of all business. If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting or if there are insufficient votes to approve the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business and the Name Change Charter Amendment (but sufficient votes to approve the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting), then the Annual Meeting will be adjourned or postponed to solicit additional proxies.

Routine vs. Non-Routine Matters

The ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent public accountants for 2011 is considered to be a routine matter under applicable rules. A broker may generally vote on routine matters, and therefore there should be no broker non-votes in connection with this item. The Proposal to Sell the ICS Business, the Name Change Charter Amendment, the Proposal to Adjourn the Meeting, the election of directors, the Say on Pay Proposal, and the Frequency Vote on Say on Pay are considered to be non-routine matters under applicable rules. Because a broker cannot vote without instructions on non-routine matters, there may be broker non-votes on these Items.

Vote Required for Approval

The Proposal to Sell the ICS Business and the Name Change Charter Amendment must be approved by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of shares of eLoyalty Stock outstanding as of the Record Date. For the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business and the Name Change Charter Amendment, you may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” or you may “ABSTAIN.” Because the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business and the Name Change Charter Amendment require the approval of the holders of a majority of our shares outstanding as of the Record Date, both broker non-votes and abstentions would have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” such proposals.

The Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting, the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent public accountants, and the Say on Pay Proposal must each be approved by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of shares of eLoyalty Stock outstanding and entitled to vote as of the Record Date and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. A failure to vote your shares of eLoyalty Stock or a broker non-vote will have no effect on the outcome of the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting, the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent public accountants, and the Say on Pay Proposal. An abstention will have the same effect as voting “AGAINST” the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting, the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent public accountants, and the Say on Pay Proposal.

Our organizational documents do not provide for cumulative voting for directors. Therefore, the nominees for director will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. This means that the nominees for the three director seats who receive the most affirmative votes of shares outstanding and entitled to vote as of the Record Date and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be elected to serve as directors. The Frequency Vote on Say on Pay will also be determined by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. This means that the frequency alternative that receives the most affirmative votes of shares outstanding and entitled to vote as of the Record Date and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be the choice of stockholders. With respect to the election of our directors and the Frequency Vote on Say on Pay, neither broker “non-votes” nor abstentions are included in the tabulation of the voting results and, therefore, do not have the effect of votes “AGAINST” such proposal.

If your shares of eLoyalty Stock are held in “street name,” you will receive instructions from your broker, bank, or other nominee that you must follow in order to have your shares voted. Brokers who hold shares in “street name” for customers are precluded from exercising their voting discretion with respect to approving non-routine matters such as the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business, the Name Change Charter Amendment, the Proposal to Adjourn the Meeting, the election of directors, the Say on Pay Proposal, and the Frequency Vote on Say on Pay and, as a result, absent specific instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares, brokers are not empowered to vote those shares, referred to generally as “broker non-votes.” Broker non-votes will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. Broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business and the Name Change Charter Amendment, but will have no effect on the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting, the election of three Class III directors to serve for an ensuing term of three years, the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent public accountants, the Say on Pay Proposal, and the Frequency Vote on Say on Pay.

In connection with the Acquisition Agreement, our directors, executive officers, and certain stockholders have entered into voting agreements with TeleTech, dated as of March 17, 2011, the forms of which are attached hereto as Annex B. Pursuant to the terms of the voting agreements, each such stockholder agreed to vote all of his, her, or its shares of eLoyalty Stock for the approval of the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business and the Name Change Charter Amendment. As of the Record Date, these stockholders had voting power over approximately 48.5% of eLoyalty Stock. See “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Interests of Certain Persons in the Sale of the ICS Business” and “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Terms of the Voting Agreements.”

Voting, Proxies, and Revocation

You may vote by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting.

Voting in Person—If you hold shares in your name as a stockholder of record and plan to attend the Annual Meeting and wish to vote in person, you will be given a ballot at the Annual Meeting or you may give us a signed proxy card before voting is closed. If you would like to attend the Annual Meeting, please bring proof of identification with you to the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we strongly encourage you to submit a proxy for your shares in advance as described below, so your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend.

To do this, you should contact your broker, bank, or nominee.

Background of the Sale of the ICS Business

Our board of directors reviews regularly the performance of our business and our strategies, opportunities and objectives in the markets in which we operate. In conjunction with those reviews, we assess the short- and long-term prospects of our business units and our Company as a whole. We evaluate opportunities to grow our Company organically and also inorganically, by means of mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, asset sales, and strategic alliances with other companies.

At a November 2008 meeting of our board of directors, our board began to consider the possibility of selling our Integrated Contract Solutions Business Unit, which we refer to in this proxy statement as the “ICS Business.” Our board believed that the lack of synergies between our two principal business units resulted in an unclear

investment proposition for both existing and new investors. Furthermore, our board believed that the sale of the ICS Business would enable the Company to focus its resources on growing the Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit, which the Company believes has greater long-term market potential than the ICS Business. Following the meeting, our board and senior management consulted with investment banking firms to review our options.

At a February 2009 meeting of our board of directors, two investment banking firms presented their recommendations to our board and proposed valuation ranges of the ICS Business. Based on these recommendations, our board of directors determined not to proceed with a possible sale of the ICS Business at that time for several reasons, including, among other things, that the Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit did not appear ready to operate as a standalone business. Furthermore, although the ICS Business was exhibiting improving performance, our board of directors and senior management did not believe that the Company would be able to obtain a favorable price in light of the then-current economic environment.

In October 2009, the Company received an unsolicited expression of interest from a bidder (“Party A”) for the purchase of the ICS Business. At a November 2009 meeting, our board of directors considered once again the potential benefits and effects of separating our principal business units. Our board of directors also reviewed certain updated valuation analyses for the ICS Business. At that time, our board of directors and senior management still did not believe that our Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit was ready to operate as a standalone business. Among other things, the Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit needed continued investment in new product development, a better developed sales function, and additional momentum from new contracts. Based on the updated valuation analyses and other factors, our board did not believe that it was an opportune time to pursue Party A’s expression of interest further.

In early 2010, our board of directors and senior management again reviewed the possibility of selling the ICS Business in order to focus on our Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit. Our board discussed strategic alternatives at length at a meeting on February 8, 2010. On one hand, the Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit had shown increased revenues, a growing contract pipeline, a maturing sales and marketing platform, and broadened product footprint. On the other hand, the ICS Business continued to demonstrate slowing managed services growth, an overreliance on consulting services, and customer concentration risk.

At a meeting on May 5, 2010, our board of directors had another detailed discussion regarding the sale of the ICS Business. Our board of directors considered several factors in favor of divesting the ICS Business, including the following:

•

the ICS Business would require significant investments to move forward, including investments in management, customer interaction solutions, and intellectual property;

•

the ICS Business was diverting key Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit resources;

•

a sale of the ICS Business would enable management to apply proceeds from the sale and other key resources to support our Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit;

•

the ICS Business faces potential future strategic threats as a result of clients’ increasing desire for one large vendor with a broad geographic presence that can support their entire converged network; and

•

the ICS Business’s results of operations were stabilizing, making it more attractive to potential bidders.

Our board instructed senior management to retain a financial advisor to assist it in exploring a potential sale of the ICS Business. Senior management discussed the potential engagement with various candidates over the next three weeks.

On June 8, 2010, eLoyalty retained NeXtAdvisors as its financial advisor for a sale of the ICS Business. From mid-June 2010 through mid-August 2010, our senior management and representatives of NeXtAdvisors

worked together to develop analyses of the ICS Business, an electronic data room for due diligence purposes, strategies for marketing the ICS Business, market assessments, valuation ranges, a forecasted financial model, and lists of potential buyers. In late July 2010, NeXtAdvisors began contacting potential strategic and financial buyers.

At a meeting of our board of directors held on August 4, 2010, the board discussed the anticipated benefits, risks and effects of a sale of the ICS Business. The board’s principal conclusion was that eLoyalty could maximize stockholder value through a more strategic and singular focus on our Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit following a sale of the ICS Business. Representatives of NeXtAdvisors discussed with our board the market for an enterprise asset sale, including an overview of potential buyers, the potential buyers contacted to date, valuation ranges, and strategies and timelines for the potential sale process. In addition, representatives of Winston & Strawn LLP, outside legal counsel for the Company (“Winston & Strawn”), made a presentation regarding the fiduciary duties of directors in the context of a sale transaction and discussed with our board of directors certain specific considerations in analyzing the sale of the ICS Business.

By the time of the meeting on August 4, 2010, NeXtAdvisors had contacted 43 buyers, nine of which executed confidentiality agreements and were granted access to the electronic data room. After the meeting, NeXtAdvisors continued to approach potential buyers and gauge interest in a potential sale of the ICS Business.

On September 1, 2010, our board of directors met to discuss the valuation of the ICS Business, optimal timing for the sale of the ICS Business, the strategy for the Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit following the sale of the ICS Business, and potential uses of the anticipated proceeds from a sale of the ICS Business. Representatives of Winston & Strawn also discussed with our board of directors the impact that a sale of the ICS Business would have on the rights of the holders of Series B Stock. In particular, it was noted that the proposed sale would constitute a “liquidation” under the terms of the Certificate of Designations for the Series B Stock (the “Series B Designations”) and, as a result, the holders of Series B Stock would be entitled to receive a liquidation preference of approximately $19.4 million before any dividends or distributions could be made to the holders of Common Stock. Our board of directors discussed the merits of forming a special committee to review and evaluate the potential uses of proceeds and engage in discussions with the holders of Series B Stock.

After the September 1, 2010 board meeting and continuing through mid-October 2010, NeXtAdvisors continued to approach potential buyers. In total, NeXtAdvisors approached 62 parties, including TeleTech, regarding the potential sale of the ICS Business. Of the 62 parties, 38, including nine strategic buyers and 29 financial buyers, executed confidentiality agreements and thereafter received additional information and materials relating to the ICS Business. In addition to conducting follow-up telephone calls and providing additional information at the request of the prospective bidders, representatives of NeXtAdvisors and our senior management made presentations to 12 of the parties, including six strategic buyers and six financial buyers, that had executed a confidentiality agreement.

Of the 38 parties that executed confidentiality agreements, five parties submitted non-binding initial indications of interest relating to the sale of the ICS Business (the “Initial Indications”). The Initial Indications, which were submitted from mid- to late-October 2010, proposed material terms and conditions relating to the sale of the ICS Business, including, without limitation, the proposed purchase price for the ICS Business (ranging from $28 million to $45 million), purchase price adjustments based on a managed services amount and a working capital ratio, escrow terms, financing conditions, and exclusivity.

At a meeting of our board of directors on November 3, 2010, our senior management and representatives of NeXtAdvisors updated our board as to the status of the efforts undertaken to date in connection with the proposed sale of the ICS Business as well as a summary of the material terms of the Initial Indications. After assessing the Initial Indications, our board instructed NeXtAdvisors to notify two of the parties (referred to as “Party D” and “Party E”) that had submitted Initial Indications that their bids were low in comparison to the other bidders and eLoyalty would not be pursuing further discussions with them.

From early November 2010 through mid-December 2010, our senior management and representatives of NeXtAdvisors conducted follow-up telephone calls with the three remaining bidders (referred to as “Party B,” “Party C,” and “TeleTech”) to confirm the terms of their Initial Indications and negotiate the purchase price and other material terms, such as the working capital adjustment, the managed services amount, the escrow amount and duration, as well as the payout of additional contingent consideration based on the forecasted financial results of the ICS Business for the first quarter of 2011.

On November 5, 2010, representatives of NeXtAdvisors had a conference call with Party B to discuss the possibility of additional contingent consideration based on the forecasted first quarter 2011 financial results of the ICS Business.

On November 8, 2010, representatives of NeXtAdvisors had a conference call with Party C to discuss the additional contingent consideration based on the forecasted first quarter 2011 financial results of the ICS Business. Party C expressed a willingness to include additional contingent consideration, but stated that it was still determining the appropriate multiple to apply to the forecasted first quarter 2011 financial results of the ICS Business.

Also on November 8, 2010, representatives of NeXtAdvisors had a conference call with TeleTech, who indicated that its final offer was $43 million. In addition, subject to review by its counsel, TeleTech requested that 5% of the purchase price be held in escrow to ensure compliance with the Company’s representations and warranties set forth in any definitive agreement.

On November 10, 2010, our senior management and NeXtAdvisors sent Party B, Party C, and TeleTech updated financial information relating to the ICS Business, including actual third quarter 2010 financial results and forecasted results for the fourth quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2011.

On November 11, 2010, Party B submitted a revised non-binding indication of interest relating to the sale of the ICS Business, which proposed a bid range of $40 million to $45 million and expressed a willingness to increase the bid with additional contingent consideration.

On November 13, 2010, representatives of NeXtAdvisors and senior management had a conference call with Party C to discuss the material terms of Party C’s Initial Indication and clarify certain positions and calculations. Specifically, the parties addressed their respective definitions of the managed services amount and working capital adjustment and their opinions regarding the appropriate levels of each at the time of sale. Senior management determined that Party C was calculating the managed services amount and working capital adjustment in a different manner than Party B and TeleTech, which would result in eLoyalty receiving less cash at closing based on the latest available balance sheet of the ICS Business. Representatives of NeXtAdvisors, senior management, and Party C also discussed Party C’s requirements regarding capital expenditures, desired escrow amounts, and the ICS Business’ actual third quarter 2010 financial results and revised forecasted financial results for the fourth quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2011.

On November 15, 2010, Party C sent an email to NeXtAdvisors as a follow up to the conversation that took place on November 13, 2010. Party C indicated in its email a willingness to increase the proposed additional contingent consideration based on operating performance of the ICS Business in the first quarter of 2011. Party C proposed a risk sharing approach whereby the increase or decrease in trailing twelve-month EBITDA for the ICS Business at the end of the first quarter of 2011 would be divided in 60% and 40% proportions between and eLoyalty and Party C, respectively. Party C also proposed a reduction in its original bid from $40.5 million to $39.6 million. The reduction in Party C’s bid was based on the application of the implied multiple contained in their Initial Indication to the revised forecasted financial results of the ICS Business for the fourth quarter of 2010.

Party C also indicated in the email dated November 15, 2010 that it would reduce the escrow period from 24 months to 18 months, but would like to increase the amount to be held in escrow based on the same implied percentage in its Initial Indication, assuming the additional contingent consideration were paid out. Party C indicated a willingness to amend its capital expenditure requirements, subject to further diligence. Finally, Party C confirmed the manner in which it proposed purchase price adjustments based on the managed services amounts and working capital, which remained different from the calculations prepared by senior management and the other bidders.

On November 15, 2010, TeleTech submitted a revised non-binding indication of interest relating to the sale of the ICS Business, which, as discussed during the November 8, 2010 conference call, increased its original bid from $42 million to $43 million.

On November 17, 2010, our senior management had a meeting with Party B in an effort to determine the seriousness of Party B’s bid and assess its progress on securing financing. Our senior management discussed potential areas of synergies in an effort to assist Party B with its financial model to finalize their bid.

On November 21, 2010, representatives of NeXtAdvisors had a conference call with Party B’s bankers to discuss the bid range. The bankers tightened the bid range to $42 million to $45 million. The parties also discussed Party B’s ability to finance the transaction, as its Initial Indication included a financing contingency. Party B’s bank indicated it was currently in discussion with several other banks and private equity firms. They asked that Party B’s potential financing sources be granted access to the electronic data room, as well as be supplied with additional information regarding the ICS Business’ first quarter 2011 forecasted financial results. Data room access and the requested financial information were provided to two of Party B’s potential financing sources.

On December 1, 2010, representatives of NeXtAdvisors and our senior management had a conference call with Party B during which Party B indicated that its final bid was $40 million and it would not be offering any additional contingent consideration based on first quarter 2011 financial results of the ICS Business. Our senior management informed Party B that it did not expect to continue negotiations with Party B due to the lower purchase price and remaining financing uncertainties.

On December 7, 2010, our senior management and representatives of NeXtAdvisors held a telephonic meeting with our board to update them as to the status of the efforts undertaken to date in connection with the proposed sale of the ICS Business, as well as a summary of the key points requiring negotiation with the remaining bidders, Party C and TeleTech. Based on an analysis of the terms proposed, our board of directors authorized senior management to execute an exclusivity agreement with TeleTech. However, Party C’s bid continued to include unresolved working capital and escrow issues that, if resolved favorably for the Company, could result in Party C’s bid being more favorable than TeleTech’s. As a result, our board directed senior management and NeXtAdvisors to continue discussions with both bidders regarding working capital and escrow issues in their respective bids prior to executing an exclusivity agreement.

On December 8, 2010, representatives of NeXtAdvisors and senior management had a conference call with TeleTech to discuss the definition of working capital and working capital requirements at closing. During the course of the conference call, the parties reached an agreement on the definition of working capital and the appropriate ratio for making a working capital adjustment to the purchase price.

The following day, TeleTech submitted a further revised non-binding indication of interest relating to the sale of the ICS Business (the “TeleTech Second Revised Indication”). The TeleTech Second Revised Indication updated certain material terms, including the adjustment to the purchase price based on a working capital ratio, and the terms of the escrow, which was set at 5% of the purchase price to be held for a period of six months.

Over the next few days, representatives of NeXtAdvisors and senior management conducted a series of follow-up conference calls with TeleTech and Party C to further refine certain terms, including the adjustment to the purchase price based on the working capital ratio.

During a follow-up conference call with Party C on December 10, 2010, Party C confirmed that the proposed terms set forth in its email dated November 15, 2010 were final. Our senior management notified Party C that, as a result, it would not be pursuing further negotiations with Party C. Senior management also updated our board of directors on the results of its discussions over the preceding three days with TeleTech and Party C.

Also on December 10, 2010, TeleTech submitted a further revised non-binding indication of interest relating to the sale of the ICS Business (the “TeleTech Third Revised Indication”). The TeleTech Third Revised Indication reflected agreements made during conference calls between representatives of Winston & Strawn and Neal, Gerber & Eisenberg LLP, outside counsel to TeleTech (“Neal Gerber”).

On December 13, 2010, eLoyalty executed TeleTech’s Third Revised Indication (the “Executed Indication”), which included an exclusivity agreement pursuant to which eLoyalty agreed to only negotiate with TeleTech regarding the sale of the ICS Business for a period of sixty days. On December 13, 2010, TeleTech and its representatives were granted full access to the electronic data room that contained additional materials and documents relating to the ICS Business.

On December 20, 2010, our board of directors held a special telephonic meeting and determined to designate a special committee in connection with the sale of the ICS Business (the “Special Committee”). Our board determined to designate a special committee because the Series B Stock is entitled to certain rights and preferences upon the sale of the ICS Business, and certain members of the board are holders of Series B Stock or may be deemed affiliates of holders of Series B Stock. The members of the Special Committee, Messrs. Mullen, Kohler, and Staley, are disinterested directors who do not, directly or indirectly, hold any shares of Series B Stock. The Special Committee was designated for the purpose of reviewing and evaluating potential uses of proceeds from the sale of the ICS Business, including potential distributions to stockholders, and making a recommendation to the full board regarding such use of proceeds. The Special Committee held its first meeting on December 23, 2010.

On January 5, 2011, TeleTech delivered to eLoyalty a first draft of the Acquisition Agreement based on the Executed Indication. As TeleTech conducted its due diligence, Winston & Strawn and Neal Gerber began negotiations on the terms of the Acquisition Agreement. On January 13, 2011, our senior management, TeleTech, NeXtAdvisors, Winston & Strawn, and Neal Gerber held a meeting at the offices of Winston & Strawn to discuss Teletech’s initial draft of the Acquisition Agreement. Negotiations over the terms of the Acquisition Agreement focused primarily on the details of the purchase price adjustments, termination fees and expenses, the escrow amount, the scope of the representations and warranties, the indemnification cap, and the indemnification deductible, and continued for the next several weeks, with the parties exchanging multiple drafts of an Acquisition Agreement.

On January 20, 2011, the Special Committee held a meeting in order to analyze the expected net proceeds from the sale of the ICS Business under various assumptions provided by management. The Special Committee also reviewed the Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit cash flow forecast, sales plan, development plan, and other projections provided by management.

On February 11, 2011, TeleTech informed senior management and NeXtAdvisors that TeleTech’s financial due diligence suggested higher projected general and administrative expenses for the ICS Business than those previously estimated. As a result, TeleTech believed that a reduction in the purchase price was warranted. NeXtAdvisors met with TeleTech on February 14, 2011 to discuss a purchase price reduction of approximately $2.15 million. The following day, our senior management, TeleTech, NeXtAdvisors, Winston & Strawn, and Neal Gerber met to continue negotiations over the proposed purchase price reduction and its interplay with the

other open terms of the Acquisition Agreement, including the details of the purchase price adjustments, termination fees and expenses, the escrow amount, the indemnification cap, and the indemnification deductible.

The exclusivity period in the Executed Indication ended on February 11, 2011. As a result, senior management directed NeXtAdvisors to contact bidders that had expressed interest in the ICS Business in order to inform them of the developments with TeleTech and gauge their interest in renewing negotiations. NeXtAdvisors focused in particular on Party C and Party D. NeXtAdvisors provided certain updated financial information for the ICS Business to Party C and Party D and discussed with each of them over the next four days whether their prior bids could be increased. Party D did not express any interest in increasing its original bid range of $31 to $38 million.

On February 16, 2011, NeXtAdvisors and senior management updated our board of directors of the recent developments with TeleTech and discussed the benefits and effects of continuing negotiations with TeleTech or proceeding with discussions with other potential buyers. Our board of directors determined to pursue parallel paths of continuing negotiations TeleTech under the proposed purchase price reduction while continuing to try to make progress with Party C. NeXtAdvisors and senior management continued to discuss terms with Party C following the meeting on February 16, 2011. It was ultimately determined that there was little ability to achieve or confirm a higher bid from Party C than TeleTech’s revised bid. Party C’s proposal also continued to include escrow and working capital requirements that were significantly less favorable to the Company than TeleTech’s proposed terms.

Effective February 18, 2011, the Company and TeleTech executed an amendment to the Executed Indication, which reflected a revised purchase price of $40.85 million, extended of the exclusivity period until February 28, 2011, and contained various other terms negotiated at the February 15, 2011 meeting. On February 23, 2011, Neal Gerber delivered a revised draft of the Acquisition Agreement in order to reflect the recent negotiations.

Between February 14, 2011 and February 25, 2011, the Special Committee held four additional meetings in order to review and assess whether a distribution of net proceeds from the sale of the ICS Business was appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Also during this time, the Special Committee engaged in discussions with our two largest holders of Series B Stock, TCV and Sutter Hill Ventures (“SHV”), in order to discuss the proposed transaction in light of the provisions of the Series B Designations. See “SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT—Series B Stock Ownership Information.”

On February 28, 2011, our board of directors conducted a special meeting for the purpose of reviewing the terms of the proposed Acquisition Agreement. Also in attendance were representatives of NeXtAdvisors and Winston & Strawn. At this meeting, representatives of Winston & Strawn reviewed the material terms of the Acquisition Agreement and ancillary agreements, the current drafts of which had been previously circulated to and reviewed by all of the directors. Representatives of NeXtAdvisors reviewed with the board NeXtAdvisors’ financial analyses of the proposed transaction and indicated that, under the current terms, NeXtAdvisors would be in a position to issue a fairness opinion.

At the meeting on February 28, 2011, the Special Committee also provided its current recommendation to the board that, based on an analysis of expected net proceeds under various assumptions and a review of projections for the Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit, an immediate distribution to stockholders of net proceeds from the sale of the ICS Business would not be advisable and in the best interests of the Company. The Special Committee also updated the board on its discussions with TCV and SHV. SHV appeared willing to execute a voting agreement as requested by TeleTech. On the other hand, TCV indicated that it would not execute a voting agreement unless an agreement or resolution was reached on the timing and manner of cash distributions to be made to the holders of Series B Stock following the sale of the ICS Business.

TeleTech required voting agreements representing approximately 50% of the outstanding voting power to be executed in connection with the Acquisition Agreement. Between March 2, 2011 and March 10, 2011, the Company entered into confidentiality agreements with certain significant stockholders, and senior management discussed the proposed sale of the ICS Business with such stockholders. These stockholders, together with the Company’s directors and executive officers, agreed to execute voting agreements binding them to vote in favor of the sale of the ICS Business at the Annual Meeting.

Between March 1, 2011 and March 10, 2011, the Company’s senior management, TeleTech, Neal Gerber, and Winston & Strawn continued to work toward finalizing the Acquisition Agreement. The parties primarily discussed disclosure schedules, working capital mechanics, and issues regarding transferred employees and accounting systems. Neal Gerber delivered a revised draft of the Acquisition Agreement on March 11, 2011.

On March 11, 2011, our board of directors conducted a special meeting for the purpose of updating its prior discussion on the proposed Acquisition Agreement. Also in attendance were representatives of NeXtAdvisors, Winston & Strawn, and Potter Anderson & Corroon LLP, special Delaware counsel for the Company (“Potter Anderson”). At this meeting, representatives of NeXtAdvisors reviewed with the board NeXtAdvisors’ financial analyses of the proposed transaction and presented the board with its oral opinion that the consideration to be received by eLoyalty was fair, from a financial point of view, to eLoyalty. Representatives of Winston & Strawn reviewed and discussed the directors’ fiduciary duties in approving the sale transaction and provided an update on the principal terms of the Acquisition Agreement. Winston & Strawn also discussed with the board certain factors in favor of the sale of the ICS Business, as well as certain risks and potentially negative factors.

Representatives of Winston & Strawn and Potter Anderson discussed with our board of directors the impact that a sale of the ICS Business would have on the rights of the holders of Series B Stock, including the position expressed by TCV, both directly and through its outside legal counsel, that a cash payment equal to the amount of the liquidation preference is due to the holders of Series B Stock immediately upon the closing of the proposed sale. Counsel advised our board that the Series B Designations do not specify the time period or manner in which the liquidation preference is to be paid to the holders of Series B Stock following the sale of the ICS Business. Counsel also advised that, prior to any distribution being made, the Series B Designations should be amended to clarify, among other things, whether a partial payment would reduce the liquidation preference and to specify the effect of a full payment of the liquidation preference on the future dividend and priority rights of the Series B Stock. Further, counsel discussed with the board that a payment of all or any portion of the liquidation preference requires a determination that the Company has funds available for distribution under state law and that a distribution is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders as a whole.

After deliberating, our board of directors determined that the Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of eLoyalty stockholders, and voted unanimously (with one abstention) to approve them. Our board also voted unanimously (with one abstention) to designate the Special Committee as a standing committee of the board for the purposes of, among other things, assessing from time to time whether eLoyalty has available funds for a full or partial distribution of the liquidation preference to the holders of Series B Stock and continuing to engage in related discussions and negotiations with the holders of Series B Stock. Mr. Feinberg abstained from voting on both items after noting the lack of resolution with the holders of Series B Stock with respect to the payment of the liquidation preference. Later that day, NeXtAdvisors delivered the written fairness opinion attached hereto as Annex C.

Following the March 11, 2011 board meeting, Winston & Strawn, on behalf of eLoyalty, conducted telephonic discussions and negotiations with Neal Gerber, on behalf of TeleTech, in order to finalize the Acquisition Agreement and the related ancillary agreements. Between March 12, 2011 and March 17, 2011, TeleTech worked with certain employees of the ICS Business to finalize the terms of employment agreements with TeleTech, which will become effective upon the closing of the sale of the ICS Business.

On March 17, 2011, eLoyalty and TeleTech executed the Acquisition Agreement and ancillary agreements. On March 17, 2011, eLoyalty issued a press release announcing the sale of the ICS Business to TeleTech.

Reasons for the Sale of the ICS Business

Our board of directors recommends approving the sale of the ICS Business because we believe that separating the ICS Business from our Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit will enhance our potential to maximize value for our stockholders. We believe that focusing on our Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit will permit greater management focus on what we believe to be our greatest opportunity for growth and long-term stockholder value. Operating the businesses separately will better position each business to realize its full potential without any restrictions from the other.

In evaluating the Acquisition Agreement and the other transactions contemplated thereby, including the sale of the ICS Business, and recommending that our stockholders approve the sale of the ICS Business and approve the Acquisition Agreement in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware law, our board of directors consulted with our senior management, outside legal counsel, and financial advisors. Our board of directors also consulted with outside legal counsel regarding the board’s fiduciary duties, legal due diligence matters, and the terms of the Acquisition Agreement and related agreements. Based on these consultations, and the factors and the opinion of NeXtAdvisors discussed below and, in the case of the opinion, attached as Annex C, our board of directors concluded that the sale of the ICS Business was in the best interests of our stockholders and recommended that our stockholders adopt the Acquisition Agreement and approve the sale of the ICS Business.

The factors that our board of directors considered in reaching its determination included, but were not limited to, the following:

•

the amount of cash consideration to be received by us pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement;

•

financial information concerning the ICS Business and our Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit, as well as current industry, economic, and market conditions relating to the ICS Business and our Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit;

•

the possibility that the short- and long-term prospects of the ICS Business would continue to decline while the Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit would continue to grow;

•

the need for long-term capital investment in both the ICS Business and our Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit;

•

the facts that the ICS Business and our Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit are two distinct segments without significant operating synergies and that the continued operation of the two businesses together may hinder their respective short- and long-term growth prospects;

•

the possibility that the Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit’s current and prospective customers, employees, and business partners may prefer to work with us as a “pure play” technology solution company;

•

our belief that we could create a more focused brand, business model, and investment opportunity with our Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit as a stand-alone business;

•

the increased focus our management could place on our growing Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit following the sale of the ICS Business;

•

the fact that the ICS Business is almost entirely dependent on its relationship with Cisco Systems, Inc. and has demonstrated an overreliance on consulting services;

•

the extensive process we conducted with respect to the sale of the ICS Business, which covered a period of more than nine months and involved discussions with multiple parties to determine their interest in purchasing the ICS Business, none of which led to acquisition proposals that were as favorable to us as TeleTech’s proposal;

•

the financial projections for the ICS Business set forth under “Projected Financial Information” on page 28;

•

the financial presentation of our financial advisor, NeXtAdvisors, including its oral opinion delivered to our board of directors on March 11, 2011, and subsequently confirmed in writing on March 11, 2011 (the full text of which is attached as Annex C to this proxy statement) as to the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date of the opinion, to us of the consideration to be received by us in the sale of the ICS Business, as more fully described below under the caption “The Sale of the ICS Business—Opinion of NeXtAdvisors”;

•

the business reputation, management, and financial resources of TeleTech, which our board of directors believed supported the conclusion that a transaction with TeleTech could be completed relatively quickly and efficiently;

•

the fact that the sale of the ICS Business would enable us to benefit from our existing net operating loss carryforward;

•

the fact that the Acquisition Agreement affords our board of directors flexibility to consider, evaluate, and accept superior proposals and alternative transactions in the period after signing and prior to the approval of the sale of the ICS Business by our stockholders under certain circumstances set forth in the Acquisition Agreement;

•

the reasonable likelihood of the consummation of the sale of the ICS Business in light of the relatively limited conditions to TeleTech’s obligations to consummate the sale of the ICS Business, including the fact that the consummation of the sale of the ICS Business is not contingent on TeleTech’s ability to secure financing commitments; and

•

the alternatives available if we were not to sell the ICS Business to TeleTech, including independent pursuit of growth of the ICS Business, all of which involve meaningful risks and uncertainties and none of which, in the view of our board of directors, were as favorable to us and our stockholders as, nor more favorable to us and our stockholders than, the sale of the ICS Business.

Our board of directors also identified and considered a number of uncertainties, risks, and potentially negative factors in its deliberations concerning the sale of the ICS Business, including:

•

the possibility that the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement, including the sale of the ICS Business, might not be consummated, and the facts that if the sale of the ICS Business is not consummated, (i) our directors, executive officers, and other employees will have expended extensive time and effort and will have experienced significant distractions from their work during the pendency of the transaction, (ii) we will have incurred significant transaction costs, and (iii) the potential negative market perception of our continuing business could potentially result in a loss of customers, business partners, and employees, any of which may have a material and adverse effect on our stock price and results of operations;

•

the effect of the public announcement of the sale of the ICS Business and the Acquisition Agreement, including effects on our sales and customer relationships, operating results, stock price, and our ability to attract and retain key management and sales and marketing personnel;

•

the resultant loss of revenue and gross profit from the ICS Business and the fact that our stockholders will not participate in any future profit or growth of the ICS Business;

•

the fact that, after the sale of the ICS Business, we will be entirely dependent on the performance of our Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit, which has not been profitable to date;

•

the fact that the sale of the ICS Business is considered a “liquidation” under the terms of the Series B Designations and, as a result, would give rise to certain rights and preferences to the holders of Series B Stock;

•

the restrictions on the conduct of the ICS Business prior to completion of the sale of the ICS Business, requiring us to conduct the ICS Business only in the ordinary course, subject to specific limitations or TeleTech’s consent, which may delay or prevent us from undertaking business opportunities that may arise pending completion of the sale of the ICS Business;

•

the restrictions on the Company’s ability to solicit or engage in discussions or negotiations with a third party regarding alternative transactions, and the requirement that we pay TeleTech a termination fee and/or termination expenses in certain cases in the event of a termination of the Acquisition Agreement;

•

the risk we will not be able to satisfy some or all of the conditions to TeleTech’s obligations to consummate the sale of the ICS Business;

•

the risk that we could be exposed to future indemnification payments for a breach or violation of the representations and warranties or covenants contained in the Acquisition Agreement;

•

the risk that unforeseen liabilities and expenses may be incurred that may limit the ultimate amount of net proceeds from the sale of the ICS Business;

•

the significant costs involved in consummating the sale of the ICS Business, including financial advisory fees, legal, accounting, and other costs, which we estimate to be approximately $2.0 million; and

•

the interests that our executive officers and directors may have with respect to the sale of the ICS Business in addition to their interests as stockholders of our company.

After careful and due consideration, our board of directors concluded that overall, the risks, uncertainties, restrictions, and potentially negative factors associated with the sale of the ICS Business were outweighed by the potential benefits of the sale of the ICS Business, and that many of these risks could be managed or mitigated prior to the consummation of the sale of the ICS Business or were unlikely to have a material adverse effect on our Company.

The foregoing information and factors considered by our board of directors are not intended to be exhaustive but are believed to include all of the material factors considered by our board of directors. In view of the variety of factors and the amount of information considered, our board of directors did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it considered in approving the sale of the ICS Business and the Acquisition Agreement. In addition, individual members of our board of directors may have given different weights to different factors. Our board of directors considered all of these factors as a whole, and overall considered them to be favorable to and to support its determination.

Projected Financial Information

eLoyalty does not as a matter of course make public projections as to future performance or earnings due to the unpredictability of the underlying assumptions and estimates. However, certain non-public prospective financial information about the ICS Business was prepared by our senior management and made available to NeXtAdvisors, our board of directors, TeleTech, and other third-party bidders in connection with their consideration and evaluation of the proposed transaction.

We have included the material portion of the projections regarding the ICS Business in the table below to give our stockholders access to certain non-public information considered by NeXtAdvisors, our board of directors and TeleTech for purposes of considering and evaluating the proposed sale of the ICS Business. We have included in this proxy statement projections for the 2011 fiscal year, which were made available to NeXtAdvisors in February 2011 for purposes of preparing its financial analyses. Sets of projections for the fourth quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2011 were made available to NeXtAdvisors, TeleTech, and other third-party bidders during our negotiations for the sale of the ICS Business, but we do not believe that such projections are material for purposes of this proxy statement due to the fact that actual results for such periods are currently available or will be available prior to the date of the Annual Meeting.

As of the date of this proxy statement, we were not aware of anything that would materially change our projections for the 2011 fiscal year, but actual results might differ materially. The inclusion of this forecast

should not be regarded as an indication that NeXtAdvisors, our board of directors, TeleTech, or any other recipient of the information considered, or now considers, it to be a reliable prediction of future results. You should not place undue reliance on the projected financial information set forth below. No one has made or makes any representation to any stockholder regarding this projected financial information.

Estimate of certain eLoyalty company-wide G&A expenses attributable to the ICS Business, including expenses related to staffing, facilities, insurance, accounting systems, and tax support.

We have advised recipients of our projected financial information that the information upon which it was based is subjective in many respects. The projected financial information reflects numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, market, and financial conditions, and other matters, all of which are difficult to predict and beyond our control. The projected financial information also reflects estimates and assumptions related to our business that are inherently subject to significant economic and competitive uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. In addition, we believe that projecting financial performance for the ICS Business is inherently difficult due to the nature of its revenue, particularly in the product resale portion of the ICS Business. As a result, the projected results might not be realized and actual results might be significantly better or worse than projected. The projected financial information was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or toward complying with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the published guidelines of the SEC regarding projections or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. The projected financial information included herein has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, our management, and none of TeleTech, our board of directors, or NeXtAdvisors was involved in the preparation of the projected financial information or has any responsibility for the projected financial information.

The projected financial information has been prepared on a basis substantially consistent with the accounting principles used in our historical financial statements. For the foregoing reasons, as well as the basis and assumptions on which the projected financial information was compiled, the inclusion of the projected financial information in this proxy statement should not be regarded as an indication that such projected financial information will be an accurate prediction of future events, and this information should not be relied on as such. Except as required by applicable securities laws, eLoyalty does not intend to update or otherwise revise the projected financial information to reflect circumstances existing after the date when made or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even in the event that any or all of the assumptions are shown to be incorrect.

Opinion of NeXtAdvisors

Opinion

On March 11, 2011, at a meeting of our board of directors held to evaluate the transaction, NeXtAdvisors, a unit of North Point Advisors LLC, a member of FINRA¹, our financial advisor, delivered to our board an oral opinion, confirmed by delivery of a written opinion, dated March 11, 2011, to the effect that, based upon and subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the opinion, as of the date of the opinion, the consideration to be received by eLoyalty in the sale of the ICS Business is fair from a financial point of view to eLoyalty.

The full text of the NeXtAdvisors opinion describes the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken by NeXtAdvisors. This opinion is attached as Annex C to this proxy statement and is incorporated into this proxy statement by reference. We encourage our stockholders to read this opinion carefully in its entirety.

The opinion (i) does not address the merits of the underlying business decision to enter into the proposed transaction versus any alternative strategy or transaction; (ii) does not address any transaction related to the proposed transaction; (iii) is not a recommendation as to how our board of directors or any stockholder should vote or act with respect to any matters relating to the proposed transaction, or whether to proceed with the proposed transaction or any related transaction; and (iv) does not indicate that the consideration received is the best possibly attainable under any circumstances. Instead, the opinion merely states whether the consideration in the proposed transaction is within a range suggested by certain financial analyses discussed with and approved in advance by eLoyalty, which analyses did not include the Excluded Analyses (as defined below), among others. The decision as to whether to proceed with the proposed transaction or any related transaction may depend on an assessment of factors unrelated to the financial analyses on which the opinion is based. In rendering the opinion, NeXtAdvisors expressed no opinion with respect to the amount or nature of any compensation to any of our officers, directors, or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the consideration to be received by eLoyalty in the proposed transaction, or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation. The opinion should not be construed as creating any fiduciary duty on the part of NeXtAdvisors to any party.

In connection with the opinion, NeXtAdvisors made such reviews, analyses, and inquiries as it deemed necessary and appropriate under the circumstances. NeXtAdvisors also took into account its assessment of general economic, market, and financial conditions, as well as its experience in securities and business valuation, in general, and with respect to similar transactions, in particular. NeXtAdvisors’ procedures, investigations, and financial analysis with respect to the preparation of its opinion included, but were not limited to, the items summarized below.

NeXtAdvisors, among other things:

•

Reviewed certain internal financial information and other data relating to the ICS Business and its financial prospects that were provided to NeXtAdvisors by the management of eLoyalty, including financial forecasts and estimates prepared by the management of eLoyalty;

•

Discussed certain short and long-term challenges that management of eLoyalty believes confront eLoyalty if eLoyalty were to retain the ICS Business, including without limitation the question of customer concentration;

•

Reviewed information obtained during discussions with members of the management and our board of directors concerning certain aspects of the proposed transaction and the business and financial prospects of the ICS Business;

¹	North Point Advisors, LLC is a securities broker/dealer registered with FINRA and the Securities and Exchange Commission and has registered offices in California and Illinois. North Point conducts business out of its Illinois office under the name NeXtAdvisors.

•

Performed certain valuation and comparative analyses using generally accepted valuation and analytical techniques including a discounted cash flow analysis, an analysis of selected public companies that NeXtAdvisors deemed relevant, and an analysis of selected transactions that NeXtAdvisors deemed relevant;

•

Compared the financial terms of the proposed transaction with publicly-available financial terms of certain other transactions that NeXtAdvisors’ believed to be generally relevant;

•

Reviewed a draft of the Acquisition Agreement dated March 10, 2011;

•

Discussed the information referred to above and the background and other elements of the proposed transaction with the management of eLoyalty; and

•

Conducted such other analyses and considered such other factors as NeXtAdvisors deemed appropriate.

In performing its analyses and rendering the opinion with respect to the proposed transaction, NeXtAdvisors, with our consent:

•

Relied upon the accuracy, completeness, and fair presentation of all information, data, advice, opinions, and representations obtained from public sources or provided to it from private sources, including our management, and did not independently verify such information;

•

Relied upon the fact that our board of directors and the Company have been advised by counsel as to all legal matters with respect to the proposed transaction, including whether all procedures required by law to be taken in connection with the proposed transaction have been duly, validly, and timely taken;

•

Assumed that any estimates, evaluations, forecasts, and projections furnished to NeXtAdvisors were reasonably prepared and based upon the best currently available information and good faith judgment of the person furnishing the same;

•

Assumed that information supplied and representations made by our management are substantially accurate regarding the Company and the proposed transaction;

•

Assumed that the representations and warranties made in the Acquisition Agreement are substantially accurate;

•

Assumed that the final versions of all documents reviewed by NeXtAdvisors in draft form conform in all material respects to the drafts reviewed;

•

Assumed that there has been no material change in the assets, financial condition, business, or prospects of the ICS Business since the date of the most recent financial statements and other information made available to NeXtAdvisors;

•

Assumed that all of the conditions required to implement the proposed transaction will be satisfied and that the proposed transaction will be completed in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement without any amendments thereto or any waivers of any material terms or conditions thereof; and

•

Assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the proposed transaction will be obtained without any adverse effect on eLoyalty.

To the extent that any of the foregoing assumptions or any of the facts on which the opinion is based prove to be untrue in any material respect, the opinion cannot and should not be relied upon. Furthermore, in NeXtAdvisors’ analysis and in connection with the preparation of the opinion, NeXtAdvisors has made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the proposed transaction.

NeXtAdvisors prepared the opinion effective as of its date. This opinion is necessarily based upon market, economic, financial and other conditions as they existed and could be evaluated as of that date, and NeXtAdvisors disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting the opinion which may come or be brought to the attention of NeXtAdvisors after the date of the opinion.

NeXtAdvisors did not evaluate our solvency or conduct an independent appraisal or physical inspection of any specific assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise), nor was NeXtAdvisors furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals.

NeXtAdvisors did not express any opinion as to the market price or value of the Common Stock after announcement of the proposed transaction. The opinion should not be construed as a valuation opinion, a credit rating, a solvency opinion, or an analysis of our credit worthiness, and does not address the legal, tax or accounting consequences of the proposed transaction on eLoyalty or the holders of its securities. NeXtAdvisors has not made, and assumes no responsibility to make, any representation, or render any opinion, as to any legal matter.

Furthermore, NeXtAdvisors, with eLoyalty’s consent, (i) did not review or perform any analyses with respect to any business of eLoyalty other than the ICS Business, and (ii) did not review or perform any analyses relating to the historical trading prices of the Common Stock, including without limitation any comparison of the consideration to be received by eLoyalty in the proposed transaction, on the one hand, to such historical trading prices and the value of our other businesses, on the other (the excluded analyses described in clauses (i) and (ii) are referred to together herein as the “Excluded Analyses”).

The opinion was furnished for the use and benefit of our board of directors in connection with its evaluation of the transaction. In addition, our board of directors has not asked NeXtAdvisors to address, and its opinion did not address, the fairness to, or any other consideration of, the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of eLoyalty. The opinion has been approved by the Opinion Review Committee of NeXtAdvisors.

Financial Analyses

The following is a summary of the material analyses that NeXtAdvisors prepared in connection with its opinion. This summary includes information presented in tabular format. In order to understand fully the financial analyses used by NeXtAdvisors, these tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses.

In performing its financial analyses, NeXtAdvisors noted the following:

•

The ICS Business, including its revenue and EBITDA, is almost entirely dependent on its relationship with Cisco Systems, Inc.;

•

Client losses occurred in the first and second quarters of 2010; and

•

The ICS Business’ EBITDA is dependent on an estimated Corporate G&A expense allocation of $1.5 million in 2010, calculated by management. Financial forecasts incorporate this estimate, with a 3% per year inflation assumption beginning in 2011. NeXtAdvisors did not separately assess the validity of this allocation.

The summary set forth below does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by NeXtAdvisors in arriving at its opinion. The fact that any specific analysis has been referred to in the summary below or in this proxy statement is not meant to indicate that such analysis was given more weight than any other analysis. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances; therefore, such an opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. No company, business or transaction used in such analyses as a comparison is identical to the ICS Business or the proposed sale of the ICS Business, nor is an evaluation of such analyses entirely mathematical. In arriving at its opinion, NeXtAdvisors did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor considered by it, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. Accordingly, NeXtAdvisors believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and of the factors considered by it, without considering all factors and analyses, would, in the view of NeXtAdvisors, create an incomplete and misleading view of the analyses underlying NeXtAdvisors’ opinion.

Selected Comparable Public Company Analysis

Based on public and other available information, NeXtAdvisors calculated the multiples of enterprise value (EV) to 2010 calendar year EBITDA for selected communication services companies. As the ICS Business’ 2010 calendar year EBITDA also represents its last twelve months’ (LTM) EBITDA, NeXtAdvisors considered the corresponding period for the selected companies. For the purposes of its analysis, NeXtAdvisors defined enterprise value as equity value plus any debt, preferred stock, and minority interest less cash and cash equivalents; NeXtAdvisors defined EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted for one-time expenses and non-cash charges including stock-based compensation expense. Companies were selected, among other reasons, because they share similar business characteristics with the ICS Business based on operational characteristics and financial metrics. However, none of the companies selected is identical or directly comparable to the ICS Business. The 2010 revenue of each of the selected companies exceeds that of the ICS Business, and none of the selected companies is almost entirely dependent on any single vendor or provider as is the case for the ICS Business. Accordingly, NeXtAdvisors made judgments and assumptions concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the selected companies and other factors that could affect the public trading value of the selected companies. The companies selected include:

•

Black Box Corporation

•

Cbeyond, Inc.

•

Hickory Tech Corporation

The following table sets forth the multiples indicated by this analysis, as compared to the purchase price multiple of 5.7x 2010 EBITDA:

Selected M&A Transactions Analysis

NeXtAdvisors selected the three transactions listed below based on having a similar operational characteristics and financial metrics to the ICS Business as well as having publicly available information. Using this information, NeXtAdvisors calculated the multiples of enterprise value to LTM EBITDA. Given the lack of recent comparably sized transactions with public information, NeXtAdvisors included the $3.2 billion sale of Dimension Data Holdings plc to Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corporation. Due to the size and global diversity of the Dimension Data business ($4.2 billion in LTM revenue at time of the acquisition), NeXtAdvisors applied a 50% discount to the multiple paid by Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corporation. It should also be noted that at the time of the Enventis Telecom acquisition, Black Box Corporation, Cbeyond, Inc. and Hickory Tech Corporation were trading at an median of 12.1x LTM EBITDA. At the time of the Berbee Information Networks Corporation acquisition, the group was trading at a median of 9.8x LTM EBITDA. As of market close on March 10, 2011, the day before NeXtAdvisors issued its opinion, this group was trading at 5.5x LTM EBITDA.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

NeXtAdvisors performed a discounted cash flow analysis of the ICS Business based upon estimates provided by management, including forward looking estimates relating to standalone costs for the ICS Business (including, without limitation, annual estimated corporate costs of operating the ICS Business as a stand-alone company of approximately $1.55 million in 2011 and inflating at 3% per year thereafter). For the second, third, and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2011 and for fiscal years 2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively, after-tax unlevered free cash flow estimates for the ICS Business of $0.9, $1.4, $1.8, $14.1, $10.8, and $14.4 million, were utilized. For purposes of the analysis, NeXtAdvisors assumed a 35% standalone corporate tax rate. NeXtAdvisors calculated an implied range of terminal values for the ICS Business using a range of exit multiples of EBITDA from 4.0x to 7.0x. The unlevered free cash flows were then discounted to present values using a range of discount rates from 40.0% to 50.0%, which were derived based on substantial risks in the ICS Business. Most notably, there are significant risks associated with the ICS Business’ almost entire dependence on Cisco Systems, Inc. as a result of, among other things, the ICS Business’ reliance on Cisco’s technology, product positioning, pricing, and discounting strategies. This was highlighted in the first and second quarters of 2010, when the ICS Business lost two clients as a result of acquisition-related and corporate level decisions to switch from Cisco to other competitors’ platforms. An additional factor considered in determining the discount rate range is the inherent difficulty projecting financial performance, particularly the product resale portion of the ICS Business. This issue has been experienced in recent quarter performance and near-term forecast revisions, which have seen significant positive and negative deviations from original forecasts. The discounted cash flow analysis indicated the following approximate enterprise value reference ranges for the ICS Business, as compared to the purchase price of $40.85 million:


($ Millions)	Low		High
Discounted Cash Flow	$	37.4	$	60.8

Engagement of NeXtAdvisors

NeXtAdvisors is a strategic advisory firm and is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and private placements. With more than 20 years of experience, the principals of NeXtAdvisors have collectively completed more than 280 transactions totaling over $41 billion in value across a diverse industry spectrum. The amount of consideration to be paid to eLoyalty was determined by negotiation between eLoyalty and TeleTech, not by recommendation of NeXtAdvisors. Our board of directors retained NeXtAdvisors to render the opinion because of its substantial experience in transactions similar to the proposed transaction, its knowledge of the ICS Business, and the terms under which NeXtAdvisors proposed to undertake the engagement.

NeXtAdvisors was retained by means of an engagement letter dated June 8, 2010 (as amended as of February 24, 2011). We have agreed to pay NeXtAdvisors an aggregate fee of 1.5% of the aggregate transaction consideration, which is contingent on the completion of the transaction. In addition, we agreed to pay NeXtAdvisors an initial retainer fee of $25,000 and an opinion fee of $250,000 upon delivery of its fairness opinion, neither of which is contingent upon consummation of the proposed transaction. The initial retainer fee and opinion fee are both fully creditable against the aggregate fee above. eLoyalty also agreed to reimburse NeXtAdvisors for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and to indemnify NeXtAdvisors against certain

liabilities arising from its engagement. Other than this engagement, during the prior two years, NeXtAdvisors has not had any material relationship with any party to the proposed transaction for which compensation has been received or is intended to be received, nor is any such material relationship or related compensation contemplated.

Governmental and Regulatory Approvals

Certain U.S. Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of certain United States income tax consequences to the Company and our stockholders on the sale of the ICS Business. The summary regarding the United States federal income tax consequences is based on the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the regulations promulgated thereunder, and existing interpretations thereof as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect.

No ruling has been sought, and no opinion of counsel has been received, as to the tax treatment of the sale of the ICS Business to us or our stockholders, and the discussion herein is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority or any court of competent jurisdiction.

Unless otherwise stated herein, this discussion does not address state, local, non-U.S., or non-income tax consequences to us or our stockholders. The discussion also does not address different tax consequences that may result with respect to future transactions or distributions by the Company. Stockholders should consult with their own tax advisors if they want to better understand the tax consequences of the sale of the ICS Business.

Stockholders

The sale of the ICS Business should not result in any current United States federal income tax consequences to our stockholders.

eLoyalty

General

We expect to recognize a gain for United States federal income tax purposes on the sale of the ICS Business. However, based on the results of an analysis that we have undertaken with the assistance of our tax advisors, we expect that for United States federal income tax purposes all or substantially all of the taxable gain resulting from the sale of the ICS Business will be offset by available net operating losses. Depending upon several factors, the current use of net operating losses to offset the gain on the sale of the ICS Business may result in the Company incurring more United States federal income taxes in subsequent years than we would have incurred if we had not sold the ICS Business.

Alternative Minimum Tax

Because of the rules in the Code regarding the use of net operating losses, we expect that the sale of the ICS Business will result in the Company incurring some United States federal alternative minimum tax in the year of the sale.

State and Local Income Taxes

Because of different state rules on the use of net operating losses, we expect that the sale of the ICS Business will result in the Company incurring state and local income taxes in the year of the sale.

Effects on eLoyalty if the Sale of the ICS Business is Completed

If the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business is approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting and the sale of the ICS Business is completed, we will sell the ICS Business to TeleTech and continue to operate our Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit, which will be our only remaining business, and we will remain a public company.

Post-Closing Business and Proceeds from the Sale of the ICS Business

After giving effect to our payment of estimated transaction fees and expenses and before giving effect to purchase price adjustments set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, we estimate that the net cash proceeds from our sale of the ICS Business will be approximately $38.9 million. The purchase price adjustments set forth in the Acquisition Agreement will cause the actual amount of net cash proceeds to vary from this estimate. The purchase price adjustments will require that we transfer cash with the ICS Business at closing representing certain net managed services amounts (generally, unearned revenue less prepaid expenses), which amounts were equal to approximately $11.7 million as of January 1, 2011.

Upon the closing of the sale of the ICS Business, our board of directors and management will focus their attention on our Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit, which will be our only remaining business. We intend to analyze possibilities for enhancing our Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit that may have been less available to us, due to resource issues or otherwise, when we operated both the ICS Business and the Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit.

Our goals following the conclusion of the sale of the ICS Business will be to continue to grow and diversify revenue in our Behavioral Analytics™ Service business and improve gross margin. To achieve growth, we plan to implement distribution strategies that may include expanding our U.S. direct sales capabilities, studying international expansion possibilities, and considering strategic partnerships. We also intend to implement certain product strategies that may include deploying distinct new applications, such as customer attrition, back office, and fraud prevention.

Upon the closing of the sale of the ICS Business, we will face a number of risks and uncertainties. The ICS Business has historically accounted for a substantial portion of our revenues. Without that source of revenue, there will be additional pressure on our Behavioral Analytics™ Service business to grow revenues and achieve profitability. Our Behavioral Analytics™ Service business has never been profitable and we cannot provide you any assurance regarding when or if the Behavioral Analytics™ Service business will achieve profitability. After the closing of the sale of the ICS Business, we will be a small public company with a substantial cash balance. This may make us an attractive takeover target and we may be subject to unsolicited bids, which could become distracting to management and may ultimately not be in the best interests of our stockholders.

The closing of the sale of the ICS Business will constitute a “liquidation” under the terms of the Series B Designations. As a result, the holders of Series B Stock will be entitled to receive a liquidation preference of approximately $19.4 million before any dividends or distributions could be made to the holders of Common Stock. We currently expect to pay approximately $1.3 million of the liquidation preference, which amount represents dividends in arrears, immediately following the closing. TCV, the holder of a majority of the outstanding Series B Stock, has expressed its position, both directly and through outside legal counsel, that a cash payment equal to the full amount of the liquidation preference is due to the holders of Series B Stock immediately upon the closing of the proposed sale of the ICS Business. SHV, which through its affiliates holds approximately 38% of the outstanding Series B Stock, has informed us that it does not agree with TCV’s position. Based on the advice of our legal counsel, we do not believe that the Series B Designations specify the

time period or manner in which the liquidation preference is to be paid to the holders of Series B Stock following the sale of the ICS Business. We believe that a payment of all or any portion of the liquidation preference requires a determination that the Company has funds available for distribution under state law and that a distribution is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders as a whole. We also believe that, prior to any distribution being made, the Series B Designations should be amended to clarify, among other things, whether a partial payment would reduce the liquidation preference and to specify the effect of a full payment of the liquidation preference on the future dividend and priority rights of the Series B Stock. An amendment to these provisions of the Series B Designations would require the consent of a majority of the outstanding Series B Stock.

In December 2010, our board of directors formed a Special Committee to review and evaluate the potential uses of proceeds from the proposed sale of the ICS Business and engage in discussions with the holders of Series B Stock. Our board of directors determined to designate the Special Committee because certain members of the board are holders of Series B Stock or may be deemed affiliates of holders of Series B Stock. The members of the Special Committee, Messrs. Mullen, Kohler, and Staley, are disinterested directors who do not, directly or indirectly, hold any shares of Series B Stock. The Special Committee has initially recommended to the board that, based on an analysis of expected net proceeds under various assumptions and a review of Behavioral Analytics™ projections, an immediate distribution to stockholders with net proceeds from the sale of the ICS Business would not be advisable and in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders as a whole. Following this recommendation, our board determined to designate the Special Committee as a standing committee for the purposes of, among other things, assessing from time to time whether eLoyalty has available funds for a full or partial distribution of the liquidation preference to the holders of Series B Stock and continuing to engage in related discussions and negotiations with the holders of Series B Stock.

Through the Special Committee, we are continuing to discuss with TCV and other holders of Series B Stock the timing and manner of any distributions to the holders of Series B Stock following the closing of the proposed sale. No assurance may be given that we will reach a mutually agreeable resolution of these matters prior to closing. On April 26, 2011, we entered into an agreement with TCV providing that, subject to certain conditions, we and TCV will submit to a final and binding arbitration in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware no later than 45 days following the closing of the sale of the ICS Business in the event that the parties have not reached a resolution prior to such time. During the pendency of any arbitration, we agreed to maintain cash and cash equivalents in an amount sufficient to pay in full the liquidation preference on the Series B Stock. While we believe that our disagreement with TCV’s position has a substantial legal basis, we are unable to predict the outcome of any arbitration proceedings that may be instituted following the closing of the proposed sale and do not provide any assurances in this regard. The outcome of any arbitration proceedings may have a material adverse effect on our remaining business.

Effects on eLoyalty if the Sale of the ICS Business is Not Completed

If the sale of the ICS Business is not completed as currently contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement, we would continue to conduct our business as currently conducted and would evaluate all available strategic alternatives. If the Acquisition Agreement is terminated under certain specified circumstances, we might be required to pay TeleTech a termination fee of $1.5 million and/or reimburse TeleTech for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in an amount not to exceed $500,000.

No Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights

Stockholders who do not approve the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business may vote against the proposal, but under the General Corporation Law of the state of Delaware, appraisal and dissenters’ rights are not provided to stockholders in connection with this action.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Sale of the ICS Business

In considering the recommendation of our board of directors with respect to the Acquisition Agreement, our stockholders should be aware that our directors and executive officers have interests in the sale of the ICS Business that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally. Our board of directors was aware of these interests and considered them in adopting the Acquisition Agreement and approving the sale of the ICS Business and recommending that our stockholders approve the sale of the ICS Business.

Employment Agreement with Mr. Pollema

The sale of the ICS Business constitutes a change of control under the terms of the current employment agreement with Steven C. Pollema, our Vice President, Integrated Contact Solutions Business Unit. Mr. Pollema’s employment agreement provides that a failure by eLoyalty to assign his agreement in connection with a change of control would give rise to the right of Mr. Pollema to terminate his agreement for “good reason” and receive severance as described under the terms of his agreement. Mr. Pollema has executed a termination letter with respect to his existing employment agreement with eLoyalty and entered into a new employment agreement with TeleTech, each of which is contingent upon the closing of the sale of the ICS Business. Under the terms of Mr. Pollema’s new employment agreement with TeleTech, Mr. Pollema will be entitled to receive from TeleTech a minimum base salary, an annual bonus incentive, restricted stock units, severance compensation for certain termination events, and other customary benefits for an agreement of this type.

Performance Unit Awards held by Mr. Pollema

In November 2009, Mr. Pollema was awarded 15,000 performance units under our 1999 Stock Incentive Plan. The sale of the ICS Business constitutes an acceleration event for these performance units that may require a payment to Mr. Pollema. The value of the aggregate incentive pool, of which Mr. Pollema is entitled to approximately 17%, is equal to 15% of the amount by which the net purchase price (as defined under the program) for the ICS Business exceeds $36 million. The actual amount of the incentive pool will be determined by the Compensation Committee of the board (the “Compensation Committee”) following completion of the sale under the terms of the program. Any distribution approved by the Compensation Committee will be settled in shares of Common Stock, with the number of shares being determined by dividing the ultimate value of the incentive pool, if any, by the 10-day average closing price of the Common Stock as of the distribution date.

Employment Agreement with Mr. Conway

The sale of the ICS Business constitutes a change of control under the terms of the employment agreement with Kelly Conway, our President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Conway’s employment agreement provides that, upon a change of control, the vesting of his restricted stock awards and stock option grants shall be accelerated for a period of three years following the change of control. If the sale of the ICS Business closes as proposed, Mr. Conway would be entitled to vesting of 476,278 shares of Common Stock and 31,250 options. The sale of the ICS Business would also constitute “good reason” under the terms of the employment agreement, which would allow Mr. Conway to terminate his employment and receive severance.

On April 26, 2011, we entered into an amended employment agreement with Mr. Conway that includes a waiver of certain rights that would otherwise arise upon the closing of the proposed sale of the ICS Business. Specifically, Mr. Conway agreed to waive his “good reason” severance rights and the accelerated vesting with respect to 265,028 shares of restricted stock. In view of the reduction in the size and scope of the Company’s operations following the sale of the ICS Business, the amended employment agreement includes a reduction in Mr. Conway’s contractual base salary from $480,000 to $300,000 and a reduction in his target bonus amount from 110% of base salary to a fixed amount of $300,000. The amended employment agreement also provides for changes in Mr. Conway’s cash severance and death/disability benefits from formula amounts to fixed amounts of $1,200,000 and $800,000, respectively. Finally, in consideration of these changes and in recognition of Mr. Conway’s significant efforts in connection with the proposed sale transaction, the amended employment

agreement provides for a transaction bonus, payable to Mr. Conway upon the closing of the proposed sale, equal to $90,000 in cash and 50,000 options to purchase our common stock. Mr. Conway’s amended employment agreement will not become effective unless the sale of the ICS Business closes as currently proposed.

Series B Stock Liquidation Preference

Mr. Tench Coxe, Chairman of our board of directors, is managing director of the general partner of Sutter Hill Ventures, which together with its affiliates currently holds approximately 37% of our outstanding Series B Stock. Mr. Coxe may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of such Series B Stock under the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain of our other directors hold shares of Series B Stock in amounts representing less than 1% of the total outstanding Series B Stock. The closing of the sale of the ICS Business will constitute a “liquidation” under the terms of the Series B Designations. As a result, the holders of Series B Stock will be entitled to receive a liquidation preference of approximately $19.4 million before any dividends or distributions could be made to the holders of Common Stock. Of this amount, we currently expect to pay approximately $1.3 million, representing dividends in arrears, immediately following the closing. In addition, our board of directors has designated a Special Committee for the purposes of, among other things, assessing from time to time whether eLoyalty has available funds for a full or partial distribution of the remaining liquidation preference to the holders of Series B Stock, and continuing to engage in related discussions and negotiations with TCV, the holder of a majority of the outstanding Series B Stock, and the other holders of Series B Stock. See “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Post-Closing Business and Proceeds from the Sale of the ICS Business.”

Voting Agreement

Our directors, executive officers, and certain stockholders have entered into voting agreements with TeleTech, dated as of March 17, 2011, the forms of which are attached hereto as Annex B. See “PROPOSAL #1: PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS—Terms of the Voting Agreements.”

Terms of the Acquisition Agreement

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Acquisition Agreement. This summary does not purport to describe all the terms of the Acquisition Agreement and is qualified by reference to the complete Acquisition Agreement, which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A and which we incorporate into this proxy statement by reference. We urge you to read the Acquisition Agreement carefully and in its entirety because it, and not the summary set forth in this proxy statement, is the legal document that governs the sale of the ICS Business.

The terms of the Acquisition Agreement (such as the representations and warranties) are intended to govern the contractual rights and relationships, and allocate risks, between the parties in relation to the sale of the ICS Business. The Acquisition Agreement contains representations and warranties that we, on the one hand, and TeleTech, on the other hand, made to each other as of specific dates. The representations and warranties were negotiated between the parties with the principal purpose of setting forth their respective rights with respect to their obligations to consummate the sale of the ICS Business, as well as their indemnity rights, and may be subject to important limitations and qualifications as set forth therein, including a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable under federal securities laws. In addition, certain representations and warranties relate to information that is not known currently by either party and have been negotiated such that the risk that such representations or warranties are ultimately shown to not be true is allocated between the parties.

In addition, such representations and warranties are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules that we provided TeleTech in connection with signing the Acquisition Agreement. While we do not believe that the disclosure schedules contain information which has not been previously publicly disclosed and that the securities laws require to be publicly disclosed, the disclosure schedules do contain information that

modifies, qualifies, and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the attached Acquisition Agreement. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts because they are modified by the underlying disclosure schedules. These disclosure schedules contain certain information that has been included in our prior public disclosures, as well as additional non-public information. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may have changed since the date of the Acquisition Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in our public disclosures.

General; Purchase Price

Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, upon the closing of the sale of the ICS Business, TeleTech will make a cash payment of $40,850,000 to the Company, subject to the adjustments described below. Of the total purchase price, $1,500,000 will be funded into an escrow account to satisfy our obligations, if any, under any indemnity claims that may be made by TeleTech.

The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on a managed services amount (generally, unearned revenue less prepaid expenses) as of the closing date, which we will be required to transfer with the ICS Business. The purchase price will also be adjusted to the extent the ICS Business’s working capital ratio (generally, the ratio of current assets, excluding prepaid cost deferrals, to current liabilities, excluding unearned revenue) is greater or less than 1.21 as of the closing date. The purchase price will initially be adjusted at closing based upon the financial statements of the ICS Business as of the last day of the prior fiscal month. The purchase price will be further adjusted within 60 days of the closing date to reflect any increases or decreases of the Managed Service amount or working capital ratio based on the financial statements of the ICS Business as of the closing date. If we dispute TeleTech’s calculations within 20 days of our receipt of such calculations, and any such dispute cannot be resolved within 10 days, then the disputed calculations will be submitted to an independent accounting firm for final determination.

Scope of Purchased Assets, Excluded Assets, Assumed Liabilities, and Excluded Liabilities

The assets we propose to sell to TeleTech consist of substantially all of the assets of the ICS Business, including, without limitation, the following assets (to the extent they are necessary for or primarily used in the ICS Business): all accounts receivable; all pre-paid cost deferrals relating to the ICS Business; certain assumed real property leases; certain equipment (leased and owned); certain assumed contracts; all rights to causes of action, lawsuits and similar claims (except to the extent they relate to excluded assets or retained liabilities) relating to the ICS Business; intellectual property (including the registered trademark / trade name “eLoyalty”); all books and records; all goodwill relating to the ICS Business; certain licenses and permits; cash and cash equivalents in an amount equal to the amount of the working capital and managed services adjustments described above; insurance proceeds relating to any purchased assets (to the extent the corresponding liability is an assumed liability); and all equity interests in eLoyalty International Limited (our wholly-owned Irish subsidiary, referred to in this proxy statement as the “Irish Sub”).

Certain of our assets are specifically excluded from the purchased assets pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, including the following assets: intercompany accounts receivable; assets used in connection with the continuing business (provided that such assets are not necessary for or primarily related to the ICS Business); assets relating to our benefit plans; assets primarily related to retained liabilities; intellectual property unrelated to the ICS Business; certain real property interests; equity interests in all of our subsidiaries other than the Irish Sub; certain licenses and permits; insurance policies (other than proceeds thereunder relating to purchased assets); and certain marketing materials.

Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, TeleTech will assume certain liabilities relating to the ICS Business, including the following liabilities: obligations under the executory portion of assumed contracts; certain liabilities relating to transferred employees; certain obligations associated with unearned revenue relating to assumed contracts; certain employment and payroll taxes relating to transferred employees; certain taxes related to

the Irish Sub; certain real and personal property taxes relating to the purchased assets; and certain environmental liabilities relating to the assumed real property leases. TeleTech will not assume the following retained liabilities: any liability relating to the excluded assets; certain liabilities related to benefit plans; our liabilities arising under the Acquisition Agreement; all indebtedness for borrowed money; environmental liabilities not related to assumed real property leases; certain liabilities related to current and former employees; certain taxes; accounts payable relating to contracts that are not assumed by TeleTech; and liabilities related to indebtedness.

Closing

Closing of the sale of the ICS Business under the Acquisition Agreement will occur on the date that is the Company’s first month-end for accounting purposes following the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, including the adoption and approval of the sale of the ICS Business and the Acquisition Agreement by the holders of a majority of shares of eLoyalty Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, or at such other time as we and TeleTech may agree upon in writing.

•

economic effects or changes that are generally applicable to the industries or markets in which the ICS Business operates (except to the extent such effect or change disproportionately affects the ICS Business);

•

general changes in the United States or world financial markets or general economic conditions (except to the extent such change disproportionately affects the ICS Business);

•

If any material adverse effect, circumstance, change, violation, or other matter relating to the financial condition or results of operations of the ICS Business taken as a whole, in the aggregate with all other such effects, circumstances, changes, violations, or other matters, could not reasonably be expected to result in (i) losses or liability to TeleTech of $750,000 or more in the aggregate within 12 months after the closing date or (ii) EBITDA, as defined in the Acquisition Agreement, for any twelve month period ending at the end of a calendar quarter during 2011 equaling no more than 92.5% of EBITDA for the corresponding twelve month

period ended at the end of the corresponding calendar quarter during 2010, then such effect, circumstance, change, violation, or other matter will not be deemed a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however that if the results in (i) or (ii) could be reasonably expected, then such effect, circumstance, change, violation, or other matter will be deemed a Material Adverse Effect.

The Acquisition Agreement also contains a number of customary representations and warranties applicable to TeleTech, subject in some cases to customary qualifications, relating to, among other things, the following:

•

TeleTech’s corporate organization, valid existence and good standing, and other corporate matters;

•

Solicitation of Other Offers and Restrictions on Solicitations of Other Offers

The Acquisition Agreement provides that, until the closing of the sale of the ICS Business or the earlier termination of the Acquisition Agreement, we will not (nor will we authorize or permit any of our representatives, affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, or advisors to):

•

directly or indirectly solicit, initiate, or encourage the submission of any Acquisition Proposal (as defined below);

•

enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, or any other similar agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (each, a “Third Party Acquisition Agreement”); or

•

directly or indirectly participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any non-public information with respect to, or knowingly take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal.

Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth above, until receipt of the requisite stockholder approval of the Acquisition Agreement, we may, in response to an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal that does not result in a breach of the restrictions set forth above, (i) furnish information to the person making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to a customary confidentiality and standstill agreement not less restrictive than the confidentiality agreement between us and TeleTech related to the sale of the ICS Business and (ii) participate in discussions or negotiations with such person regarding any Acquisition Proposal, if our board (a) believes in good faith the Acquisition Proposal to be bona fide, (b) determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and a qualified financial advisor) that the unsolicited Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal (as defined below), (d) determines that the failure to take any of the above actions would not be consistent with its fiduciary duties to our stockholders, and (d) provides to TeleTech, within 48 hours of receiving an Acquisition Proposal, the materials terms thereof along with the identify of the person making it. We must keep TeleTech reasonably informed of the status of any such Acquisition Proposal.

Neither our board nor any committee thereof will withdraw or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to TeleTech, its recommendation that our stockholders approve the Acquisition Agreement or approve or recommend or propose publicly to approve or recommend to our stockholders, or otherwise permit or cause the Company to accept or enter into, an Acquisition Proposal (any such action, an “Adverse Recommendation Change”). In addition, the Company will not approve, recommend, publicly propose or enter into any Third Party Acquisition Agreement, nor, with certain exceptions, release any third party from, or waive any provisions of, any confidentiality and standstill agreement to which the Company is a party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if our board, prior to receipt of the requisite stockholder approval of the Acquisition Agreement, (i) receives an Acquisition Proposal that does not result in a breach of the Acquisition Agreement and that it determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and a qualified financial advisor) constitutes a Superior Proposal, and (ii) determines in good faith (after consultation with

outside legal counsel) that failure to take any of the following actions would not be consistent with its fiduciary duties to our stockholders, then the board may (a) make an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or (b) cause the Company to enter into a Third Party Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, but only if we have concurrently with entering into such Third Party Acquisition Agreement terminated this Acquisition Agreement pursuant to its terms.

If our board determines to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change or to authorize the Company to enter into a Third Party Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, we must provide written notice to TeleTech thereof, along with a copy of the Superior Proposal, at least five days prior to such Adverse Recommendation Change or Third Party Acquisition Agreement becoming effective; provided that any material amendment to the terms of such Superior Proposal after the initial notice will require us to provide a new notice to TeleTech and restart the five day period referred to above. In determining whether to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change or to cause the Company to enter into a Third Party Acquisition Agreement in response to a Superior Proposal, our board will negotiate in good faith with TeleTech (to the extent TeleTech desires to negotiate) with respect to any offer from TeleTech and take into account in good faith any changes to the terms of this Acquisition Agreement proposed by TeleTech (in response to an Adverse Recommendation Notice or otherwise) in determining whether such Acquisition Proposal still constitutes a Superior Proposal.

The term “Acquisition Proposal” means any written inquiry, proposal, or offer relating to a possible (i) amalgamation, merger, consolidation, tender offer, or similar transaction involving the ICS Business or the Company, other than an amalgamation, merger, consolidation, or similar transaction involving the Company but not involving the purchased assets or assets to which TeleTech receives benefit under the Transition Services Agreement; (ii) sale, lease, or other disposition, directly or indirectly (including by way of merger, consolidation, share, or unit exchange or otherwise) of any of the purchased assets or assets to which TeleTech receives benefit under the Transition Services Agreement, other than the sale, lease, or other disposition of the purchased assets used, consumed, replaced, or sold in the ordinary course of business; (iii) issuance, sale, or other disposition of (including by way of merger, consolidation, share, or unit exchange or otherwise) our securities (or options, rights, or warrants to purchase or securities convertible into, such securities) other than option grants to our employees in the ordinary course of business or any issuance, sale, or other disposition that will close after the sale of the ICS Business to TeleTech and which will not preclude the consummation of such sale; (iv) liquidation, dissolution, recapitalization, or other similar type of transaction with respect to the Company other than any of the purchased assets or assets to which TeleTech receives benefit under the Transition Services Agreement or any such transaction that will close after the sale of the ICS Business to TeleTech and which will not preclude the consummation of such sale; (v) transaction which is similar in form, substance, or purpose to any of the foregoing transactions; or (vi) public announcement of an agreement, proposal, plan, or intent to do any of the foregoing; provided, however, that the term “Acquisition Proposal” does not include (a) the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement or (b) any transaction not involving the purchased assets or assets to which TeleTech receives benefit under the Transition Services Agreement.

The term “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide Acquisition Proposal, including any Acquisition Proposal relating solely to the ICS Business, made by a third party (i) on terms which our board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and qualified financial advisors, to be more favorable from a financial point of view to our stockholders than the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement, taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal, and the Acquisition Agreement (including any proposal by TeleTech to amend the terms of the Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby), (ii) that is not subject to a financing condition (and if financing is required, such financing is then fully committed to the third party), (iii) that includes termination rights of the third party on terms no less favorable to the Company than the terms set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, and (iv) that, in the good faith, reasonable judgment of our board is reasonably capable of being completed, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal, and other aspects of such proposal, without unreasonable delay, all from a third party capable of performing such terms.

Stockholder Approval

We agreed to hold a stockholders’ meeting as soon as reasonably practicable following the execution of the Acquisition Agreement and the mailing of the related proxy statement for the purpose of voting on the approval of the sale of the ICS Business. Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, our board will use its reasonable, good faith efforts to obtain the approval of our stockholders of the sale of the ICS Business.

Other Covenants and Agreements

The Acquisition Agreement contains certain other customary covenants and agreements relating to, among other things:

•

the providing of notice information with respect to any matter arising after the execution of the Acquisition Agreement which, if existing or occurring prior to such execution, would have been required to be disclosed under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement;

•

the filing of this proxy statement with the SEC (and cooperation in response to any comments from the SEC with respect to such statement);

•

TeleTech’s access to our properties, management, books, and records in respect of the ICS Business;

•

the parties’ retention of business records relating to periods prior to the closing date for a period of six years after the execution of the Acquisition Agreement;

•

the giving of all required notices to third parties and governmental authorities, and the use of commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all licenses and permits, consents, waivers, approvals, authorizations, declarations, and filings that are required to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement;

•

cooperation in good faith prior to the closing to amend and update certain exhibits to the Acquisition Agreement.

Employee Matters

On the closing date, TeleTech will make offers of employment to certain of our employees identified by them and listed on the confidential disclosure schedule to the Acquisition Agreement. Any such employee who accepts TeleTech’s offer of employment and commences employment with TeleTech shall be referred to, individually, as a “Transferred Employee” and, collectively, as the “Transferred Employees.” Following the closing date, TeleTech will provide (i) to each Transferred Employee compensation at least equal to that provided by us to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the closing date and (ii) to Transferred

Employees generally, employee benefits comparable, in the aggregate, to those provided by TeleTech to similarly situated employees of TeleTech. In addition, TeleTech has agreed, with certain exceptions, to take the following actions with respect to Transferred Employees: (a) waive any limitations regarding pre-existing conditions and eligibility waiting periods under any TeleTech benefit plans; (b) provide each Transferred Employee, to the extent commercially practicable, with credit for any payments toward out of pocket limits and deductibles paid prior to the closing date in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any TeleTech benefit plan; and (c) for eligibility and vesting purposes (but not benefit accruals) treat all service by the Transferred Employees with the Company before the closing date as service with TeleTech.

Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, we will remain responsible for the payment of all wages and other remuneration due to our employees with respect to their services as our employees prior to the closing date. TeleTech will not assume any obligations to any of our current or former employees, including but not limited to any obligations, commitments, or liabilities related to employment, compensation, severance, and benefits incurred on or prior to the closing date, except for certain non-benefit related liabilities reflected on the ICS Business’s closing date balance sheet. We will hold TeleTech harmless from and against all direct and indirect costs, expenses, and liabilities of any sort arising from or relating to any claims by or on behalf of our employees with respect to liabilities under our benefit plans, severance pay, or termination pay, liabilities relating to consultation requirements with any works council or union, and transfers or undertakings in the applicable foreign jurisdiction, and similar obligations relating to the termination of such employees’ employment with the Company. In addition, we agreed to terminate, waive, and release any rights or remedies that we may have with respect to the solicitation of employment or employment by TeleTech of any Transferred Employee, including any claims or rights we may have against TeleTech or any Transferred Employee under any non-hire, non-solicitation, non-competition, confidentiality, or employment agreement or any cause of action based on similar rights arising by contract, at common law, or by statute or regulation. In addition, we and TeleTech agreed to comply (and to cooperate in good faith to the extent necessary to permit each party to comply) with certain applicable federal, state, local, and foreign laws, rules and regulations regarding the transfer of employees.

Termination of the Acquisition Agreement

The Acquisition Agreement may only be terminated:

•

by mutual written consent of us and TeleTech;

•

by either us or TeleTech, if:

•

the closing shall not have occurred on or before July 3, 2011, provided that such right to terminate is not available to any party whose failure to perform any of its obligations under the Acquisition Agreement resulted in the failure of the closing to be so consummated by such date; or

•

any final, nonappealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction is issued which precludes the consummation of the closing or the transaction contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement or the Related Agreements (by injunction or otherwise), provided that such right to terminate is not available to a party if the issuance of such order was primarily due to the failure of such party to perform any of its obligations under the Acquisition Agreement;

•

by TeleTech, if:

•

the requisite stockholder approval is not obtained within 90 days after execution of the Acquisition Agreement by the parties;

•

an Adverse Recommendation Change occurs;

•

we willfully and materially breach the terms of the Acquisition Agreement dealing with third-party Acquisition Proposals in any respect adverse to TeleTech;

•

we intentionally or recklessly breach any representation or warranty, covenant, or agreement contained in the Acquisition Agreement, and such breach, individually or in combination with any other breach, would cause any of the conditions to TeleTech’s obligation to complete the sale of the ICS Business not to be satisfied; or

•

in the course of us providing TeleTech information with respect to any matter arising after the execution of the Acquisition Agreement, any such information, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ICS Business; and

•

by us, if:

•

we enter into a Third Party Acquisition Agreement providing for a Superior Proposal, provided that we may only exercise this termination right if we have complied with certain relevant obligations under the Acquisition Agreement; or

•

TeleTech breaches any representation or warranty, covenant, or agreement contained in the Acquisition Agreement, and such breach, individually or in combination with any other such breach, would cause any of the conditions to our obligation to complete the sale of the ICS Business not to be satisfied.

Termination Fees

We must pay to TeleTech a fee equal to (i) $1,500,000 plus (ii) all of TeleTech’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including all attorneys’ fees, financial advisors’ fees, accountants’ fees, and filing fees (the “Termination Expenses”), up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $500,000, in the following circumstances:

•

TeleTech terminates the Acquisition Agreement on the basis of an Adverse Recommendation Change;

•

TeleTech terminates the Acquisition Agreement on the basis of a willful and material breach by us of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement dealing with third-party Acquisition Proposals in any respect adverse to TeleTech; or

•

we terminate the Acquisition Agreement on the basis of our entry into a Third Party Acquisition Agreement providing for a Superior Proposal.

If TeleTech terminates the Acquisition Agreement on the basis that (i) the requisite stockholder approval is not obtained within 90 days after execution of the Acquisition Agreement by the parties or (ii) we intentionally or recklessly breach any representation or warranty, covenant, or agreement contained in the Acquisition Agreement, and such breach, individually or in combination with any other breach, would cause any of the conditions to TeleTech’s obligation to complete the sale of the ICS Business not to be satisfied, then we will pay TeleTech a fee equal to the Termination Expenses.

Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation

In connection with the sale of the ICS Business, we have agreed that, for a period of five years after the closing date of the sale of the ICS Business, we will not and will cause our subsidiaries not to own an interest in, operate, join, control, advise, work for, consult to, have a financial interest that provides any control of, or participate in any person producing, designing, providing, soliciting orders for, selling, distributing, consulting to, or marketing or remarketing products or services competitive with or in substantially the same line of business as the ICS Business, or any part thereof, as of the closing date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither we nor our

affiliates are prohibited from (i) maintaining and/or undertaking passive investments in less than 5% of the outstanding stock of any publicly-traded corporation or (ii) engaging in the business operated by the Company and its subsidiaries as of the closing date (but immediately after giving effect to the sale of the ICS Business), and any other business incidental or relating thereto, including, among other things, (a) the provision of solutions to improve the reliability of call recording, (b) the process of employing human behavioral modeling to analyze and improve customer solutions and help optimize the performance of call center agents, (c) the process of employing human behavioral modeling and analytics in the areas of Fraud Analytics, Collections Analytics, Back Office Analytics, Predictive Modeling, Email Analytics, and Student Analytics, (d) the implementation and hosting of related hardware and software, and (e) the provision of related training and add-on consulting services.

In addition, we have agreed that, for a period of three years after the closing date of the sale of the ICS Business, we will not and will cause our subsidiaries not to take any action, formal or informal, direct or indirect, to induce any employee of TeleTech (or of any of its respective affiliates) to terminate his or her employment with TeleTech (or of any of its respective affiliates), or attempt to interfere with the relationship or prospective relationship between TeleTech (or of any of its respective affiliates) and any creditor, licensee, customer, prospective customer, employee, or other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we shall not be restricted from making general solicitations of employment (including the use of general advertisements and recruiting agencies) not specifically directed at the employees of TeleTech (or of any of its respective affiliates) and hiring any person (i) who responds thereto, or (ii) whose employment has been previously terminated by TeleTech (or of any of its respective affiliates).

Indemnification

Subject to the certain limitations set forth below, we must indemnify and hold harmless TeleTech and its managers, members, officers, and employees (in their capacity as such), and its and their affiliates and agents, against and in respect of any and all losses incurred directly or indirectly, in connection with, arising from or as a result of (i) any material breach of any of the covenants made in the Acquisition Agreement by us or any of our affiliates, (ii) any breach of any of the representations and warranties made in the Acquisition Agreement by us, (iii) the ownership, use, or possession of the excluded assets, (iv) the retained liabilities, (v) the ownership and operation of the continuing business following the closing of the sale of the ICS Business, or (vi) any fraud, intentional misrepresentation or criminal acts committed by or on behalf of us or any of our affiliates on or prior to the closing date of the sale of the ICS Business. In general, we are not obligated to make TeleTech whole for any losses suffered as a result of any breach of our representations or warranties or a material breach of our notification covenant until TeleTech suffers losses in excess of $200,000, at which point we are obligated to indemnify the indemnified party to the full extent of all losses, subject to limitations set forth below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we are obligated to indemnify TeleTech for all losses with respect to claims based upon breaches of representations and warranties relating to (a) authorization, valid execution and delivery, and enforceability of the Acquisition Agreement, (b) conflicts or violations under charter documents, contracts and instruments of law, (c) title and condition of the purchased assets, (d) taxes, and (e) brokers’ or finders’ fees. Our liability for any claim for indemnification brought by TeleTech based upon a breach of a representation or warranty or a material breach of our notification covenant is limited to $2,000,000, except for indemnification claims based on fraud or any breach of a representation or warranty made in connection with breaches of the representations and warranties relating to (1) authorization, valid execution and delivery, and enforceability of the Acquisition Agreement, (2) conflicts or violations under charter documents, contracts and instruments of law, (3) title and condition of the purchased assets, (4) taxes, and (5) brokers’ or finders’ fees, for which there is no limit.

Subject to the certain limitations set forth below, TeleTech must indemnify and hold harmless us and our directors, stockholders, officers and employees (in their capacity as such), and their affiliates and agents against and in respect of any and all losses incurred directly or indirectly in connection with, arising from or as a result of (i) any material breach of any of the covenants made in the Acquisition Agreement by TeleTech or any of its respective affiliates, (ii) any breach of any of the representations or warranties made in the Acquisition Agreement by TeleTech, (iii) the assumed liabilities, (iv) the ownership and operation of the ICS Business

following the closing of the sale of the ICS Business (other than in respect of the retained liabilities), or (v) any fraud, intentional misrepresentation or criminal acts committed by or on behalf of TeleTech or any of its affiliates on or prior to the closing date of the sale of the ICS Business. TeleTech is generally not obligated to make us whole for any losses suffered as a result of any breach of its representations or warranties until we suffer losses in excess of $200,000, at which point TeleTech is obligated to indemnify us to the full extent of all losses, subject to limitations set forth below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TeleTech is obligated to indemnify us for all losses with respect to claims based upon breaches of representations and warranties relating to (a) authorization, valid execution and delivery, and enforceability of the Acquisition Agreement, (b) conflicts or violations under charter documents, contracts and instruments of law, (c) governmental consents, permits, approvals and filings required in connection with the sale of the ICS Business, and (d) brokers’ or finders’ fees. TeleTech’s liability for any claim for indemnification brought by us based upon a breach of a representation or warranty is limited to $2,000,000, except for indemnification claims based on fraud or any breach of a representation or warranty made in connection with breaches of the representations and warranties relating to (1) authorization, valid execution and delivery, and enforceability of the Acquisition Agreement, (2) conflicts or violations under charter documents, contracts and instruments of law, (3) governmental consents, permits, approvals and filings required in connection with the sale of the ICS Business, and (4) brokers’ or finders’ fees.

Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, we and TeleTech will each pay or cause to be paid fifty percent (50%) of all transfer, documentary, sales, use, value-added, property, gross receipts, stamp, registration or other similar taxes incurred in connection with the transfer and sale of the purchased assets. In addition, we will pay TeleTech an amount equal to all taxes with respect to the Irish Sub that have accrued but were not paid before the closing date to the extent such taxes were not included as a liability on the ICS Business’s balance sheet. TeleTech will pay all post-closing period taxes applicable to the ICS Business or the purchased assets and all assumed taxes.

We will prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all tax returns related to the Irish Sub, the ICS Business, and the purchased assets for all pre-closing tax periods. TeleTech will prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all tax returns related to the Irish Sub, the ICS Business, and the purchased assets for all post-closing tax periods.

We will receive the sole benefit of all refunds for taxes with respect to which the liabilities are either retained by us or assumed by TeleTech, including all refunds related to the Irish Sub for pre-closing tax periods. All refunds for post-closing tax periods applicable to the ICS Business or the purchased assets will be for the sole benefit of TeleTech. All refunds for transfer taxes will be for the equal benefit of the parties.

Expenses

Except as otherwise set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, each party will pay all costs and expenses incident to its negotiation and preparation of the Acquisition Agreement and to its performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained therein on its part to be performed or complied with, including the fees, expenses and disbursements of its counsel and accountants.

Amendment and Waiver

The Acquisition Agreement may be amended or waived if such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by us and TeleTech, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under the Acquisition Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof.

Terms of Other Agreements

Terms of the Voting Agreements

In connection with the Acquisition Agreement, the Company’s directors, executive officers and certain stockholders, who, as of the Record Date, collectively had voting power over approximately 48.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of eLoyalty Stock, entered into voting agreements with TeleTech. Under the terms of the voting agreements, each stockholder has irrevocably appointed TeleTech’s secretary as proxy for such stockholder to vote his, her, or its shares, including any shares acquired after the date of the agreement, (i) for the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business, the Name Change Charter Amendment, and the other transactions contemplated by, and in each case pursuant to, the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, and (ii) against any proposal regarding any Acquisition Proposal (as defined above). The proxy automatically terminates upon termination of the Acquisition Agreement or upon any material amendment or modification of the Acquisition Agreement that adversely affects the consideration payable to us.

Under the terms of the voting agreement that TeleTech entered into with our directors and executive officers, SHV and certain affiliates of SHV (the “Insider Stockholders”), who, as of the Record Date, collectively had voting power over approximately 33% of the issued and outstanding shares of eLoyalty Stock, the Insider Stockholders have also agreed that, subject to certain exceptions, they will not transfer any shares prior to the closing date of the proposed sale.

Schleider, Peninsula Master Fund, Ltd. and Alydar Partners, LLC (the “Non-Insider Stockholders”), who, as of the Record Date, collectively had voting power over approximately 15% of the issued and outstanding shares of eLoyalty Stock, provide that, subject to certain exceptions, the Non-Insider Stockholders will not transfer any shares for at least ten business days following the date of the agreements.

Recommendation of Our Board of Directors

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR”

PROPOSAL #1, THE PROPOSAL TO SELL THE ICS BUSINESS.

eLOYALTY CORPORATION

SELECTED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information sets forth the pro forma consolidated results of operations of the Company for fiscal years ended 2010, 2009, and 2008, which ended January 1, 2011, December 26, 2009, and December 27, 2008, respectively, and the pro forma balance sheets of the Company as of January 1, 2011 and December 26, 2009.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations have been derived from the Company’s historical consolidated financial information and give effect to the proposed sale of all of the assets and assumption of certain liabilities of the Company’s ICS Business, in exchange for approximately $40.85 million in cash, subject to adjustment, as if such sale had occurred on the first day of fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, which began on December 27, 2009, December 28, 2008, and December 30, 2007, respectively. In addition, the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheets have been derived from the Company’s historical consolidated financial information and give effect to the proposed sale of the ICS Business as if it had occurred on each of the balance sheet dates.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations are based on the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes and do not reflect any adjustments for non-recurring items or changes in operating strategies arising as a result of the transaction. These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements include no assumptions regarding the use of proceeds (other than to pay transaction related expenses), which are presented as additional cash on the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, the actual effect of the transaction, due to this and other factors, could differ from the pro forma adjustments presented herein. However, management believes that the assumptions used and the adjustments made are reasonable under the circumstances and given the information available.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results or the financial position that would have been achieved had the transaction been consummated as of the dates indicated or of the results that may be obtained in the future. These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2011 filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on March 17, 2011. The historical financial information included in Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K is also attached hereto as Annex D.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information gives effect to the proposed sale of all of the assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of the Company’s ICS Business by TeleTech in exchange for $40.85 million in cash, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Acquisition Agreement. The Company expects to account for the disposition as a discontinued operation in its consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets, if stockholder approval of the transaction is obtained.

During the periods presented, the ICS Business operated as an operating segment within the Company. As such, the Company did not maintain separate, stand-alone financial statements for the ICS Business. Accordingly, the financial information of the ICS Business has been prepared from the Company’s historical accounting records and does not purport to reflect a balance sheet and statement of operations that would have resulted if the ICS Business had been a separate, stand-alone company.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the years ended January 1, 2011, December 26, 2009, and December 27, 2008 have been derived from the Company’s historical consolidated financial information and give effect to the proposed sale as if it had occurred on December 27, 2009, December 28, 2008, and December 30, 2007, respectively. In addition, the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2011 and December 26, 2009 have been derived from the Company’s historical consolidated financial information and give effect to the proposed sale of the ICS Business as if it had occurred on each of the balance sheet dates.

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results or the financial position that would have been achieved had the transaction been consummated as of the dates indicated or of the results that may be obtained in the future. These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2011. The historical financial information included in Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K is also attached hereto as Annex D.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Pro Forma Adjustments

Pro forma adjustments reflect those adjustments which are directly attributable to the transaction and include the following (amounts in thousands):

Represents the purchase price of $40,850 less estimated direct transaction costs of $1,945. Also reflects the adjustment to proceeds for Managed Services and Working Capital Adjustments defined in Acquisition Agreement. The Managed Services adjustment reflects the net difference between total unearned revenue and associated prepaid/deferred costs. Managed Services adjustments of ($11,728) and ($6,970) were included in Cash and Cash equivalents in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Managed Services adjustments are based upon the net difference between total unearned revenue and associated prepaid/deferred costs as of each balance sheet date. The actual Managed Services adjustment will be determined as of the closing date and, therefore, may differ materially from the amounts presented. The Working Capital adjustment reflects the adjustment (up or down) that will be made to the proceeds based on the difference between (i) the ratio between current assets, excluding current prepaid/deferred costs, and current liabilities, excluding current unearned revenue, as of the closing date and (ii) 1.21. Working Capital adjustments of $2,872 and ($117) were included in Cash and Cash equivalents in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Eliminates the assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed by TeleTech in connection with the disposition of the ICS Business.

Represents the estimated gain on sale of net assets before federal, state, and foreign taxes.

Eliminates the financial results of operations of the ICS Business, as adjusted for removal of revenue and direct costs of traditional CRM Consulting Services, includes facility costs associated with the office in Austin, Texas, which is primarily used by the ICS Business, and includes corporate and administrative costs that have been attributed to the ICS Business.

Pro Forma Services Revenue

Pro Forma services revenue, after the sale of the ICS Business, includes consulting services and subscription services from our Behavioral Analytics™ Service, as well as legacy revenue. Legacy revenue consists of (i) traditional CRM consulting services, which historically has been included in our ICS business segment, and (ii) marketing managed services, which historically has been included in our Behavioral Analytics™ Service business segment. Pro Forma services revenues are broken down as follows:


	For the Fiscal Years Ended

Behavioral Analytics™ Consulting Services revenue	$	584	$	711	$	1,498

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE INTEGRATED CONTACT SOLUTIONS BUSINESS UNIT OF eLOYALTY CORPORATION

The following unaudited financial statements, for fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, which ended January 1, 2011, December 26, 2009, and December 27, 2008, respectively, were prepared to present, pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the assets to be acquired, the liabilities to be assumed, and the related revenues and direct expenses of the ICS Business.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the ICS Business exclude certain liabilities of the ICS Business (as not all liabilities are to be assumed) and exclude traditional CRM consulting revenue and direct expenses previously included in the Company’s segment reporting for the ICS Business. In addition, allocated facility costs associated with our office in Austin, Texas, which is primarily utilized by the ICS Business, and corporate and administrative costs that have been attributed to the ICS Business, are included in these unaudited financial statements.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared from the Company’s historical accounting records and do not purport to reflect the revenues and direct expenses that would have resulted if the ICS Business had been a separate, stand-alone business during the periods presented. It is not practicable for management to reasonably estimate expenses that would have resulted if the ICS Business had operated as an unaffiliated, independent business. Since only certain assets are to be acquired and certain liabilities are to be assumed, a balance sheet and statement of stockholders’ equity are not applicable.

As an operating segment of eLoyalty, the ICS Business is dependent upon eLoyalty for all of its working capital and financing requirements.

The unaudited financial statements of the ICS Business should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements, including notes thereto, in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2011.

INTEGRATED CONTACT SOLUTIONS BUSINESS UNIT OF eLOYALTY CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in millions, except share and per share data)

Note One—Description of Business

The ICS Business is engaged in the business of monitoring and supporting contact centers and related business applications, providing consulting and system integration services related to Cisco Voice over Internet Protocol solutions (including related hardware and software product resales), and providing operational consulting services to enhance customer services business performance through improved process efficiencies, redesign of call flows, and improved contact center operations.

Note Two—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Fiscal Year-End

The fiscal year-end dates presented for fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008 are January 1, 2011, December 26, 2009, and December 27, 2008, respectively. Fiscal year 2010 consisted of fifty-three weeks instead of fifty-two weeks, which did not have a material impact on the ICS Business’s financial position or results of operations.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements, for the fiscal years ended January 1, 2011, December 26, 2009, and December 27, 2008, were prepared to present, pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the assets to be acquired, the liabilities to be assumed, and the related revenues and direct expenses of the ICS Business.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared from the Company’s historical accounting and do not purport to reflect the revenues and direct expenses that would have resulted if the ICS Business had been a separate, stand-alone business during the periods presented. It is not practicable for management to reasonably estimate expenses that would have resulted if the ICS Business had operated as an unaffiliated, independent business. Since only certain assets are to be acquired and certain liabilities are to be assumed, a balance sheet and statement of stockholders’ equity are not applicable.

As an operating segment of eLoyalty, the ICS Business is dependent upon eLoyalty for all of its working capital and financing requirements.

The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those amounts.

Revenue Recognition

Integrated Contact Solutions Business Unit

Managed services revenue included in the ICS Business consists of fees generated from the Company’s contact center support and monitoring services. Support and monitoring services are generally contracted for a fixed fee, and the revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Support fees that are contracted on a time-and-materials basis are recognized as the services are performed for the client.

For fixed fee Managed services contracts, where the ICS Business provides support for third-party software and hardware, revenue is recorded at the gross amount of the sale. If the contract does not meet the requirements for gross reporting, then Managed services revenue is recorded at the net amount of the sale.

Consulting services revenue included in the ICS Business consists of the modeling, planning, configuring, or integrating of an Internet Protocol network solution within the ICS Business’s clients’ contact center environments. These services are provided to the client on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee basis. For the integration of a system, the ICS Business recognizes revenue as the services are performed, with performance generally assessed on the ratio of hours incurred to date compared to the total estimated hours over the entire term of the contract. For all other consulting services, the ICS Business recognizes revenue as the services are performed for the client.

Revenue from the sale of Product, which is generated from the resale of third-party software and hardware by the ICS Business, is generally recorded at the gross amount of the sale.

Within the Integrated Contact Solutions Service Line, Consulting services, Managed services, and the resale of Product may be sold and delivered together. In arrangements that include the resale of software, vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) must be determined for each of the individual elements. If VSOE does not exist for the allocation of revenue to the various elements of the arrangement, then all revenue from the arrangement is deferred until all elements of the arrangement without VSOE have been delivered to the client. Upon the delivery of the element without VSOE, revenue is allocated to this element based on the total value of the arrangement less the VSOE amounts established for the other elements. If the remaining undelivered elements are post-contract support (“PCS”) or other deliverables with similar attribution periods, then the arrangement revenue is recognized ratably over the remaining service period.

Multiple-element arrangements are segmented into separate earning processes when the elements have objective and reliable evidence of fair value and have value to the customer on a stand-alone basis. Revenue related to contracts with multiple elements is allocated based on the fair value of the element and is recognized in accordance with the ICS Business’s revenue recognition policy for each type of element, as described above. If the fair value for any undelivered element cannot be established, then revenue is deferred until all elements have been delivered to the client. If PCS or similar services are the only remaining activity without established fair value, then the revenue for the entire arrangement is recognized ratably over the service period.

Reimbursed expenses revenue includes billable costs related to travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred while performing services for the ICS Business’s clients. The cost of third-party product and support may be included within this category if the transaction does not satisfy the requirements for gross reporting. An equivalent amount of reimbursable expenses is included in Cost of revenue.

Payments received for Managed services contracts in excess of the amount of revenue recognized for these contracts are recorded as unearned revenue until revenue recognition criteria are met.

Cost of Revenue before Reimbursed Expenses, Exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization

Cost of services primarily consists of labor costs including salaries, fringe benefits, and incentive compensation of the ICS Business delivery personnel and Selling, general and administrative personnel working

on direct, revenue-generating activities and third-party pass-through costs related to the Company’s Managed services. Cost of services also includes employee costs for travel expenses, training, laptop computer leases, and other expenses of a non-billable nature. Cost of services excludes depreciation and amortization.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, incentive compensation, commissions, and employee benefits for business development, account management, solution development/support, marketing and administrative costs of the ICS Business. Corporate administrative costs directly attributable to the ICS Business, as well as allocated facility costs associated with the Austin location, primarily used by the ICS Business, are also included in the these costs. The personnel costs included here are net of any labor costs directly related to the generation of revenue, which are represented in Cost of services.

The selling, general and administrative expenses are not necessarily indicative of the expenses that would have been incurred had the ICS Business operated as a separate stand-alone business during the periods presented. It is not practical for management to reasonably estimate the expenses that would have been incurred by the ICS Business had it operated as a separate stand alone business.

Unearned Revenue

Current unearned revenue was $16.3 million and $10.0 million as of January 1, 2011 and December 26, 2009, respectively. Current unearned revenue reflects prepayment by the ICS Business’s clients in advance of the ICS Business’s recognition of this revenue. Payments are generally received in advance from clients that are utilizing the ICS Business’s Managed services. Current unearned revenue will be recognized within the next 12 months.

Long-term unearned revenue was $11.2 million and $5.7 million as of January 1, 2011 and December 26, 2009, respectively. Long-term unearned revenue reflects prepayment by the ICS Business’s clients in advance of the ICS Business’s recognition of this revenue. Payments are generally received in advance from clients that are utilizing the ICS Business’s Managed services. Long-term unearned revenue reflects revenue that will be recognized beyond the next 12 months.

Equipment and Leasehold Improvements

Computers, software, furniture, and equipment are carried at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life or the lease term. The useful life for computers and software is three years. For enterprise software applications where a longer useful life is deemed appropriate, five years is used. For furniture and equipment, a useful life of five years is used. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or disposed of are eliminated from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in the statements of operations. The carrying value of equipment and leasehold improvements is periodically reviewed to assess recoverability based on future undiscounted cash flows. An impairment loss, if any, would be measured as the excess of the carrying value over the fair value.

The ICS Business accounts for software developed for internal use in accordance with the guidance provided under ASC Topic 350, which addresses accounting for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use. As such, costs incurred that relate to the planning and post-implementation phases of development are expensed. Costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized and amortized over the asset’s estimated useful life, which is generally three to five years.

The ICS Business leases certain equipment using both capital leases and operating leases. Assets leased under capital leases are recorded at the present value of future lease payments and depreciated on a straight line basis. All capital leases are for terms of either 30 or 36 months.

Equipment and leasehold improvements consist of the following:


	As of
	January 1, 2011			December 26, 2009
Computers and software	$	4.9		$	5.1
Furniture and equipment		0.3			0.3
Leasehold improvements		0.2			0.2

Equipment and leasehold improvements, gross		5.4			5.6
Accumulated depreciation and amortization		(3.9	)		(4.9	)

Equipment and leasehold improvements, net	$	1.5		$	0.7

Depreciation expense was $0.8 million, $0.5 million, and $0.5 million, for fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Assets acquired under capital leases were $0.0 million, $0.1 million, and $0.2 million in fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Depreciation expense on capital lease assets was $0.1 million, $0.1 million, and $0.0 million in fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment using a two-step test approach. In the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, then goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is performed. The second step is performed if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill must be determined and compared to the carrying value of the goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then an impairment loss equal to the difference will be recorded.

There has been no impairment identified as a result of the annual review of goodwill as of January 1, 2011 and December 26, 2009. The carrying value of goodwill was $1.7 million as of January 1, 2011 and December 26, 2009, respectively.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets reflect costs related to trademark applications. Trademark applications are amortized over 120 months. The original cost of intangible assets as of January 1, 2011 was $0.1 million. The ICS Business did not have any intangible assets as of December 26, 2009. Accumulated amortization of intangible assets as of January 1, 2011 was four thousand dollars. No accumulated amortization of intangible assets existed at December 26, 2009. Amortization expense of intangible assets is currently anticipated to be eight thousand dollars in fiscal year 2011 and annually thereafter.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. Determining fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires certain assumptions. Stock-based compensation totaled $0.9 million, $1.5 million, and $4.9 million for the years ended January 1, 2011, December 26, 2010, and December 27, 2008, respectively. The table below provides a breakdown of stock-based compensation between direct cost categories:


	For the Fiscal Year
	2010		2009		2008
Stock-based compensation
Cost of services	$	31	$	270	$	1,472
Selling, general and administrative		786		1,254		3,413
Severance and related costs		57		—		—

Total	$	874	$	1,524	$	4,885

Unbilled revenue represents fees, project-related expenses, materials, and subcontractor costs performed in advance of billings in accordance with contract terms. Unbilled revenue at January 1, 2011 and December 26, 2009 consists of amounts due from clients and is anticipated to be collected within normal terms. The ICS Business maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its clients to make required payments and clients indicating their intention to dispute their obligation to pay for contractual services provided by us. If the financial condition of our clients were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Note Four—Current Prepaid Expenses

Current prepaid expenses were $9.4 million and $5.0 million as of January 1, 2011 and December 26, 2009, respectively. Current prepaid expenses primarily consist of third-party support costs related to our ICS Business’s Managed services. These costs are recognized over the contract terms of the respective agreements, which are generally one to five years. Costs included in current prepaid expenses will be recognized within the next 12 months. Current prepaid expenses consisted of the following:


	As of
	January 1, 2011		December 26, 2009

During fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, the ICS Business recognized pre-tax charges of $0.7 million, $0.4 million, and $0.1 million, respectively. For fiscal year 2010, the ICS Business recorded $0.7 million of expense related to severance and related costs for the elimination of 37 positions. The $0.4 million of expense recorded in fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to the elimination of 15 positions, and $0.1 million of expense recorded in fiscal year 2008 related to severance and related costs for the elimination of four positions.

During fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, the ICS Business made cash payments of $0.7 million, $0.4 million, and $0.1 million, respectively, related to cost-reduction actions, which were primarily severance and related costs. The ICS Business expects substantially all remaining severance payments to be paid out by the first quarter of 2011 pursuant to agreements entered into with affected employees.

PROPOSAL #2: THE NAME CHANGE CHARTER AMENDMENT

Purpose of Name Change Charter Amendment

Stockholders will also consider at the Annual Meeting a proposal to amend the Charter to change our name to Mattersight Corporation upon the closing of the sale of the ICS Business. We are selling the rights to use the registered trademark “eLoyalty” to TeleTech. Therefore, after the closing of the sale of the ICS Business, we will be unable to continue using the name “eLoyalty,” subject to limited exceptions, without TeleTech’s consent. Furthermore, we believe that the name “Mattersight Corporation” more closely aligns our public identity with our Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit, which will be our only remaining business and the sole focus of our board of directors and management. If our stockholders approve the sale of the ICS Business but do not approve the Name Change Charter Amendment, we will pursue other legal means of changing our name, including pursuant to a reverse merger into a subsidiary of the Company. However, effecting the name change through a reverse merger may be more expensive and may divert management’s attention from the operation of our business because a reverse merger may require consents of third parties under some of our existing commercial agreements and other contracts.

Effect of Name Change Charter Amendment

If the Name Change Charter Amendment is approved by the stockholders and becomes effective, the rights of stockholders holding certificated shares under currently outstanding stock certificates and the number of shares represented by those certificates will remain unchanged. The name change will not affect the validity or transferability of any currently outstanding stock certificates that bear the name “eLoyalty Corporation,” nor will it be necessary for stockholders with certificated shares to surrender or exchange any stock certificates they currently hold as a result of the name change. Uncertificated shares currently held in direct registration accounts and any new stock certificates that are issued after the name change becomes effective will bear the name “Mattersight Corporation.”

Nasdaq Symbol

The Company’s Common Stock is currently listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “ELOY.” If the stockholders approve the Name Change Charter Amendment, we expect that the trading symbol for our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Market will be changed to “MATR”; an application to reserve this ticker symbol has been submitted to Nasdaq. We also expect that a new CUSIP number will be assigned to the Common Stock following the name change.

No Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights

You will not experience any change in your rights as a stockholder as a result of the Name Change Charter Amendment. None of Delaware law, the Charter, or our bylaws provides for appraisal or other similar rights for dissenting stockholders in connection with the Name Change Charter Amendment, and we do not intend to independently provide stockholders with any such right. Accordingly, you will have no right to dissent and obtain payment for your shares in connection with the Name Change Charter Amendment.

Vote Required to Approve the Name Change Charter Amendment

The approval of holders of a majority of the shares of eLoyalty Stock outstanding as of the Record Date will be required for approval of the proposal. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” will not be counted as having been voted on the proposal, and therefore will have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” the proposal.

Recommendation of Our Board of Directors

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL #2, THE NAME CHANGE CHARTER AMENDMENT.

PROPOSAL #3: PROPOSAL TO ADJOURN THE ANNUAL MEETING

The Annual Meeting may be adjourned or postponed for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies to approve the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business and the Name Change Charter Amendment. Any adjournment may be made without notice, other than by an announcement made at the Annual Meeting of the time, date and place of the adjourned meeting. Approval of the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies to approve the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business and the Name Change Charter Amendment requires, assuming a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of shares of eLoyalty Stock outstanding and entitled to vote and present at the Annual Meeting. If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting may adjourn the meeting until a quorum shall be present. Any signed proxies received by us in which no voting instructions are provided on this matter will be voted “FOR” the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies to approve the Proposal to Sell the ICS Business and the Name Change Charter Amendment. In addition, when any meeting is convened, the presiding officer, if directed by our board of directors, may adjourn the meeting if (i) no quorum is present for the transaction of business or (ii) our board of directors determines that adjournment is necessary or appropriate to enable the stockholders to consider fully information which our board of directors determines has not been made sufficiently or timely available to stockholders or otherwise to exercise effectively their voting rights. Any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies will allow our stockholders who have already sent in their proxies to revoke them at any time prior to their use at the Annual Meeting as adjourned or postponed.

No Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights

You will not experience any change in your rights as a stockholder as a result of the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting. None of Delaware law, the Charter, or our bylaws provides for appraisal or other similar rights for dissenting stockholders in connection with the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting, and we do not intend to independently provide stockholders with any such right. Accordingly, you will have no right to dissent and obtain payment for your shares in connection with the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting.

Vote Required to Approve the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting

Approval of the Proposal to Adjourn the Annual Meeting will require the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of shares of eLoyalty Stock outstanding and entitled to vote and present at the Annual Meeting.

Recommendation of Our Board of Directors

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL #3, THE NAME CHANGE CHARTER AMENDMENT.

PROPOSAL #4: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our board of directors is divided into three classes of directors, each of which is elected for a three-year term. Only one class of directors stands for election at each annual meeting of eLoyalty’s stockholders. At this year’s Annual Meeting, the Class III directors stand for election. Three directors, Kelly D. Conway, David B. Mullen, and Michael J. Murray, have been nominated by the independent members of our board of directors to stand at the Annual Meeting for election to a three-year term expiring at the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders, for the reasons described below. If for any reason any of these nominees becomes unable or is unwilling to serve at the time of the meeting, then the persons named as proxies in the enclosed proxy card will have discretionary authority to vote for a substitute nominee selected by the independent members of our board of directors. It is not anticipated that any of the nominees will be unavailable for election.

Vote Required for the Election of Directors

The nominees for director will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. This means that the nominees for the three director seats who receive the most affirmative votes of shares outstanding and entitled to vote as of the Record Date and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be elected to serve as directors.

Recommendation of Our Board of Directors

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL #4, THE ELECTION OF KELLY D. CONWAY, DAVID B. MULLEN, AND MICHAEL J. MURRAY.

Our board of directors reviews the Company’s corporate strategy, financial objectives, and operating plans, and is responsible for overseeing risk management and internal compliance.

Board Independence

In accordance with the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”), each board of directors must have a majority of independent directors. As such, with respect to each director, our board of directors has made a determination as to whether or not the director qualifies as independent. Under our independence determination procedure, no director may qualify as independent unless our board of directors affirmatively determines that (1) the director meets NASDAQ’s independence standards, and (2) based on a review of all of the facts and circumstances of each non-management director’s relationship with eLoyalty, there is no business, commercial, or personal relationship that would impact the performance by the director of his board duties.

Our board of directors has determined that six of our seven directors—Messrs. Coxe, Feinberg, Kohler, Mullen, Murray, and Staley—are independent. Mr. Conway is not independent because he is eLoyalty’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

Board Leadership Structure

Our board of directors is led by an independent Chairman, Mr. Coxe. Our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Conway, is the only member of our board of directors who is not an independent director. eLoyalty believes that this is the most appropriate structure for the Company in light of the differences between the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the Company and for the day-to-day leadership and performance of the Company, whereas the Chairman provides guidance to the Chief Executive Officer. Furthermore, this structure enhances the accountability of the Chief Executive Officer to our board of directors and strengthens our board’s independence from management. We have had this leadership structure since our inception.

Board Oversight of Risk

Our executive management team is responsible for its day-to-day risk management activities. Our board of directors oversees these risk management activities, delegating its authority in this regard to the Audit Committee of the board (the “Audit Committee”). The Audit Committee is responsible for discussing with executive management policies with respect to financial risk and enterprise risk management. The Audit Committee also oversees the Company’s corporate compliance programs, including Section 404 compliance. In addition to the Audit Committee’s risk management oversight, our board of directors regularly engages in discussions of the most significant risks that the Company is facing and how these risks are being managed.

The Company’s Associate General Counsel and Corporate Secretary reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer rather than the Chief Financial Officer, thereby providing him with additional visibility to the Company’s

risk profile. Our board of directors believes that the Audit Committee’s risk oversight function, together with the efforts of the full board and the Chief Executive Officer in this regard, enables our board of directors to effectively oversee eLoyalty’s risk management activities.

Board Meetings and Attendance

Our board of directors held six meetings during the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011. During this period, each of the incumbent directors attended 85% or more of the aggregate number of board meetings and of the board committees on which he served. Our board of directors met in executive session four times in 2010. eLoyalty does not have a specific policy regarding board members’ attendance at its annual stockholders’ meetings. The 2010 Annual Meeting was attended by Mr. Conway.

Selection of Director Nominees

Responsibility. Our board of directors does not have a nominating or similar committee, although it has adopted a standing resolution, which provides that all nominees for membership on the board must be selected, or recommended to the full board for selection, by the Nominating Directors in accordance with the rules of NASDAQ. Under this standing resolution, the Nominating Directors are responsible for: (i) reviewing and, as applicable, recommending to the full board, possible candidates for membership on the board of directors, and assisting in attracting qualified candidates to fill vacant or newly created directorships; (ii) reviewing and recommending to the full board a slate of directors to be proposed for election at the annual stockholders’ meeting and included in the proxy statement for such meeting, as well as reviewing and recommending to the full board any directors to fill vacancies that may exist on the board of directors; and (iii) reviewing the function and composition of the committees of the board and recommending to the full board qualified persons for membership on such committees. The affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Nominating Directors is required to approve any action that may or must be taken by the Nominating Directors. The Nominating Directors have the ability to retain, at eLoyalty’s expense, special legal, accounting, or other consultants or experts they deem necessary in the performance of their duties under the standing resolution. Our board of directors believes that, in light of the independent directors’ responsibility for eLoyalty’s nominating processes under this resolution, it is unnecessary to have a separate nominating or similar committee of the board. The Nominating Directors have not held meetings separate from the board in their capacities as such. Our board of directors’ standing resolution is available on our website, at www.eLoyalty.com. A copy of the standing resolution may also be obtained by sending a written request to the Corporate Secretary at eLoyalty Corporation, 150 Field Drive, Suite 250, Lake Forest, Illinois 60045.

Stockholder Nominees. The Nominating Directors will consider properly submitted stockholder nominations for candidates for membership on our board of directors as described below under “Identifying and Evaluating Nominees for Directors.” Any stockholder nominations proposed for consideration by the Nominating Directors should include the nominee’s name and qualification for board membership. In addition, they must be submitted within the timeframe and to the address specified under “Submission of Stockholder Proposals for 2012” on page 114.

Identifying and Evaluating Nominees for Directors. In discharging its responsibilities to nominate candidates for election to our board of directors, the Nominating Directors have not specified any minimum qualifications for serving on the board nor do they operate under a formal diversity policy. However, the Nominating Directors endeavor to identify, evaluate, and approve candidates with a diversity of business experience and personal skills in technology, finance, marketing, financial reporting, and other areas that may be expected to contribute to an effective board. The Nominating Directors seek to assure that our board of directors is composed of individuals who have experience relevant to the needs of eLoyalty and who have the highest professional and personal ethics, consistent with our values and standards. Candidates should be committed to enhancing stockholder value and should have sufficient time to carry out their duties and to provide insight and practical wisdom based on experience. Each director must represent the interests of all stockholders.

The Nominating Directors utilize a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for director. Candidates may come to the attention of the Nominating Directors through current board members, professional search firms (which may receive a fee), stockholders, or other persons. These candidates are evaluated at regular or special meetings of our board of directors, and may be considered at any point during the year. As described above, the Nominating Directors will consider properly submitted stockholder nominations for candidates for the board on the same basis as director-nominated candidates. All properly submitted recommendations will be aggregated and considered by the Nominating Directors.

Board Committee Structure and Responsibilities

Our board of directors has two standing committees to assist it in the discharge of its responsibilities: an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee. In addition, our board of directors formed a Special Committee in December 2010 in connection with the Sale of the ICS Business. Each of these committees is described below.

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of our public accountants (including resolution of disagreements between management and the public accountants regarding financial reporting) subject, if applicable, to stockholder ratification of the public accountants’ appointment, for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review, or attest services for us. The Audit Committee approves all audit engagement fees and terms and all non-audit engagements with the public accountants as required by applicable law and the requirements of NASDAQ. In connection with its duties, the Audit Committee regularly meets privately with our independent public accountants. The Audit Committee has adopted a policy for the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints or concerns regarding accounting-related matters. See “Communications with the Board” on page 81. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter, the current version of which was adopted by our board of directors in March 2004. The Audit Committee reviews and reassesses the adequacy of this Charter annually. The Audit Committee Charter is available on our website, at www.eLoyalty.com. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter may also be obtained by sending a written request to the Corporate Secretary at eLoyalty Corporation, 150 Field Drive, Suite 250, Lake Forest, Illinois 60045.

The Audit Committee, which met eight times during fiscal 2010, currently has four members: Mr. Staley, as Chairman, and Messrs. Murray, Mullen, and Kohler. Our board of directors has determined that each of Messrs. Kohler, Mullen, and Staley qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert”, as that term is defined in the SEC rules adopted pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and that Mr. Murray meets the financial literacy requirements of NASDAQ.

A report of the Audit Committee appears later in this proxy statement on page 110.

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee, which met four times during fiscal 2010, currently has three members: Mr. Coxe, as Chairman, and Messrs. Feinberg and Kohler. The Compensation Committee administers the eLoyalty Corporation 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1999 Plan”) and the eLoyalty Corporation 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2000 Plan”), reviews and acts with respect to stock incentive and other employee benefit plans, approves or makes recommendations to our board of directors with respect to the salary and annual incentive compensation of, and stock awards for, our executive officers, and assesses the risk associated with our material incentive compensation programs. In administering the 1999 Plan and the 2000 Plan, the Compensation Committee may delegate certain of its duties to one or more of our officers as permitted by law and to the extent otherwise consistent with the terms of the 1999 Plan or 2000 Plan, as the case may be. The Compensation Committee has not engaged a compensation consultant. Compensation for senior executives is determined by the Compensation Committee after analyzing the Company’s performance and the applicable executive, based on recommendations of our management. The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter, which was adopted by our board of directors in February 2011. The Compensation Committee will review and reassess the adequacy of this Charter annually. The Compensation Committee Charter is

available on our website, at www.eLoyalty.com. A copy of the Compensation Committee Charter may also be obtained by sending a written request to the Corporate Secretary at eLoyalty Corporation, 150 Field Drive, Suite 250, Lake Forest, Illinois 60045.

A report of the Compensation Committee appears later in this proxy statement on page 90.

Special Committee. In December 2010, our board of directors formed a Special Committee to review and evaluate the potential uses of proceeds from the proposed sale of the ICS Business and engage in discussions with the holders of Series B Stock. Our board of directors determined to designate the Special Committee because certain members of the board are holders of Series B Stock or may be deemed affiliates of holders of Series B Stock. The members of the Special Committee, Messrs. Mullen, Kohler, and Staley, with Mr. Mullen serving as Chairman, are disinterested directors who do not, directly or indirectly, hold any shares of Series B Stock. Our board of directors has determined to designate the Special Committee as a standing committee for the purposes of, among other things, assessing from time to time whether we have available funds for a full or partial distribution of the liquidation preference to the holders of Series B Stock and continuing to engage in related discussions and negotiations with the holders of Series B Stock.

Communications with the Board

Anyone who has a concern about our conduct, or about our accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters, may communicate that concern directly to our board of directors, the Audit Committee, or the directors who are not employees of eLoyalty or any of its subsidiaries (“Non-Employee Directors”). All concerns related to audit or accounting matters will be forwarded to the Audit Committee Chair for his review, as well as to eLoyalty’s Corporate Secretary and Chief Financial Officer (unless the report alleges that person’s involvement). After the Audit Committee Chair’s initial review and a summary of the matter is prepared, the concern will be forwarded to the remaining Audit Committee members. All other concerns will be forwarded upon receipt to the appropriate directors for their review, as well as to eLoyalty’s Corporate Secretary and Chief Financial Officer (unless the report alleges that person’s involvement in the matter).

All reported concerns will be simultaneously reviewed and addressed by eLoyalty’s Corporate Secretary or her designee. The status of all outstanding concerns addressed to our board of directors, the Non-Employee Directors, or the Audit Committee will be reported to the board on a quarterly basis. The board or the Audit Committee may direct special treatment, including the retention of outside advisors or counsel, for any concern reported to them. eLoyalty’s corporate policies prohibit retaliatory action against any employee who raises concerns or questions in good faith about these matters.

Stockholders wishing to communicate with our board of directors, any individual director, the Non-Employee Directors, or the Audit Committee may do so by writing to eLoyalty’s Corporate Secretary at 150 Field Drive, Suite 250, Lake Forest, Illinois 60045. The Corporate Secretary will forward any communications as directed by the stockholder. eLoyalty maintains a separate, internal system for the receipt of communications from employees.

Code of Ethics

eLoyalty has adopted a Code of Ethical Business Conduct, which sets the standard for ethics and compliance for all of its employees, including officers and directors. The Code of Ethical Business Conduct is available on eLoyalty’s website, at www.eLoyalty.com. A copy of the Code of Ethical Business Conduct may also be obtained by sending a written request to the Corporate Secretary at eLoyalty Corporation, 150 Field Drive, Suite 250, Lake Forest, Illinois 60045.

Transactions with Related Persons

eLoyalty’s Code of Ethical Business Conduct requires that all business transactions be at arms’ length, negotiated in good faith, and based on merit alone. All of eLoyalty’s employees have a responsibility and duty of loyalty to eLoyalty and all business decisions are to be made in the best interests of eLoyalty, which means putting eLoyalty’s interests first. If a situation arises that would constitute a related-party transaction under SEC rules, then the independent directors will review the propriety of, and approve or disapprove, such transaction.

There were no transactions, relationships, or arrangements proposed during 2010 that would constitute related-person transactions under item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires eLoyalty’s directors and executive officers, as well as any persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our Common Stock, to file with the SEC initial reports and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of such stock. Persons subject to Section 16 are required by SEC regulations to furnish eLoyalty with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file.

Based on its review of copies of such reports filed through or furnished to eLoyalty and on written representations from certain reporting persons that no other reports were required, eLoyalty believes that all required Section 16(a) reports filed during or for fiscal 2010 with respect to persons who were subject to Section 16(a) reporting obligations during such period were filed on a timely basis.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Meeting Attendance Fees

As agreed to by the Compensation Committee at its February 2009 meeting, during eLoyalty’s fiscal year ended January 1, 2011, Non-Employee Directors each received $750 for their attendance at each meeting of the board, $1,000 per Audit Committee meeting attended, and $250 for each Compensation Committee meeting attended (each of which was held in tandem with a meeting of the board). If any Compensation Committee meetings had been held apart from a board meeting, then each Compensation Committee member would have received $500 per meeting attended; there were no separate Compensation Committee meetings in 2010. The members of the Special Committee each received $750 for each meeting of the Special Committee held in 2010. eLoyalty also reimburses directors for any travel-related expenses incurred in attending meetings of the board and its committees; however, eLoyalty has adopted the practice of holding its board meetings by video conference, thereby minimizing the need to reimburse for these expenses.

Initial Grant and Annual Grants

In addition to meeting attendance fees, Non-Employee Directors are eligible to receive automatic grants of stock options under the 1999 Plan, which provides for each Non-Employee Director to receive: (i) an option to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock upon commencement of service as a director (an “Initial Grant”); and (ii) an option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock on the day after each annual meeting of stockholders during which such service continues (an “Annual Grant”). Stock options granted to Non-Employee Directors have an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the grant date and a maximum term of ten years. Each Initial Grant vests ratably over a period of 48 months from the end of the month following the grant date. Each Annual Grant vests ratably over a period of 48 months, commencing with a vesting of 25% of such Annual Grant on May 31^st of the year following the grant date and 6.25% of such Annual Grant on each quarterly vesting date thereafter.

In addition, at its February 2009 meeting, as ratified by unanimous written consent, our board of directors agreed that each Non-Employee Director would receive a one-time option to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock under the 1999 Plan. These stock options had an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the grant date, which was February 18, 2009, and a maximum term of ten years, pursuant to the 1999 Plan. Vesting is scheduled to occur ratably over a period of 16 quarters, with the first quarterly vesting having occurred on February 28, 2009.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

Common Stock Ownership Information

To eLoyalty’s knowledge, the following table sets forth information regarding beneficial ownership of Common Stock (as beneficial ownership is determined for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) as of February 28, 2011, except as otherwise indicated, by: (i) each person or group that beneficially owns more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; (ii) each of the four named executive officers of eLoyalty named in the Summary Compensation Table appearing later in this proxy statement; (iii) each of the directors, including the director nominees, of eLoyalty; and (iv) all current named executive officers and directors of eLoyalty as a group.

COMPENSATION AND RISK

In early 2011, we conducted a risk assessment of our compensation policies and practices for all employees, including non-executive officers. We reviewed our employee compensation plans and programs, and noted numerous design elements that manage and mitigate risk without diminishing the incentive nature of the compensation, including: a balanced mix between cash and equity and between annual and longer-term incentives; and the use of discretionary and qualitative factors in the granting of individual incentive- and commission-based awards.

We also reviewed our compensation programs for certain design features that may have the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking, including: highly leveraged payout curves; unreasonable thresholds; awards with unlimited upside and no downside risk; and steep payout cliffs at certain performance levels that may encourage short-term business decisions to meet payout thresholds. We concluded that our compensation programs do not include such design features. Finally, we analyzed our overall enterprise risks and whether our compensation programs have the potential to impact individual behavior in a manner that could exacerbate these enterprise risks. We concluded that our compensation programs are structured in a way that does not exacerbate enterprise risk. Based on our review, we believe that our employee compensation policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

The Compensation Committee currently consists of Mr. Coxe, as Chairman, and Messrs. Feinberg and Kohler. None of Messrs. Coxe, Feinberg, or Kohler is a current or former officer or employee of eLoyalty and none has any relationship requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act, as amended. During the last fiscal year, no executive officer of eLoyalty served on the board of directors or compensation committee of any other company whose executive officers served as a director or member of the Compensation Committee.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Executive Summary

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis provides information regarding the fiscal 2010 compensation program for our named executive officers, specifically, our principal executive officer, our principal financial officer, and the executive officers who were our next most highly compensated executives as of the end of fiscal 2010 (collectively, the “Named Executive Officers”). These individuals were:

•

Kelly D. Conway, President and Chief Executive Officer;

•

William B. Noon, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer;

•

Steven C. Pollema, Vice President, Integrated Contact Solutions Business Unit; and

•

Christine R. Carsen, Vice President, Associate General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary.

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the material elements of our executive compensation program during fiscal 2010. It also provides an overview of our executive compensation objectives and challenges, as well as our principal compensation policies and practices. Finally, it analyzes how and why the Compensation Committee arrived at its specific compensation decisions for our Named Executive Officers, including the key factors considered by the Compensation Committee in setting their compensation.

Our compensation philosophy has been focused on supporting and enabling the Company’s transformation from a consulting services company to an analytics and managed services company. The Company has kept cash compensation (base salaries plus bonuses) relatively low compared to market cash compensation to conserve cash, and has granted restricted stock awards to incent management to build a high-growth, high-recurring-revenue business. This approach has enabled eLoyalty to develop and expand its two primary service lines: the Behavioral Analytics™ Service and Integrated Contact Solutions (“ICS”), which have grown their combined revenues from $17 million in 2004 to $77 million in 2010.

The Compensation Committee oversees our executive compensation program, approving or presenting recommendations to our board of directors with respect to the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. In addition, the Compensation Committee administers our stock-based incentive plans and establishes and reviews general policies relating to compensation and benefits of all our employees. None of the directors that serve on the Compensation Committee are officers or employees of eLoyalty.

Compensation Program

Overview. The principal framework for the compensation of our Named Executive Officers and other eligible employees is the eLoyalty Vice President and Executive Compensation Program (the “Compensation Program”). The objective of the Compensation Program is to support and enable the Company’s transformation from a consulting services company to an analytics and managed services company. In order to support this objective, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves all elements of compensation for each Named Executive Officer, taking into account recommendations from eLoyalty’s Chief Executive Officer (for compensation other than his own), as well as competitive market guidance provided at the request of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee uses a combination of structured compensation frameworks and subjective business judgment to determine actual salaries, bonuses, and restricted stock awards. In general, the total compensation awarded to eLoyalty’s executives is designed to be equitable and market competitive. eLoyalty broadly defines its competitive market for executive talent and investment capital to be the technology, software, managed services, and business consulting industries. In determining executive compensation, eLoyalty does not perform formal benchmarking, but rather continuously calibrates the Compensation Program based on its senior-level recruiting activity and a general understanding of compensation practices within the competitive market.

Executive Compensation Decision-Making Process

Determining Compensation for the Chief Executive Officer. In 2010, Mr. Conway’s compensation package consisted of a $425,000 annual base salary, an earned annual incentive of $448,688 (paid in the form of restricted stock), and a restricted stock grant of 200,000 shares of Common Stock. Mr. Conway’s annual salary and cash bonus are established under the terms of his employment agreement with the Company. As of February 28, 2011, Mr. Conway owned approximately 1,200,830 million shares of Common Stock. On an annual basis, Mr. Conway has been awarded significant restricted stock grants rather than additional cash compensation because the Compensation Committee believes that increasing Mr. Conway’s level of stock ownership aligns his interests with those of our stockholders.

Determining Compensation for the Other Named Executive Officers

Approach. The Named Executive Officers comprise the Company’s leadership team. The Compensation Program for the Named Executive Officers is designed to motivate individual performance, as members of the leadership team, to drive the Company’s overall success and long-term stockholder value. As a result, the Named Executive Officers are incentivized to perform in respect of objectives both within and outside of the officer’s primary area of responsibility. In addition, the total compensation awarded to the Company’s executives is designed to be internally equitable and market competitive.

Discretion and Judgment of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee determines the compensation for the Named Executive Officers. Each year, the Compensation Committee reviews the performance of each Named Executive Officer against his or her established goals to determine if changes in the officer’s compensation are appropriate based on the considerations described below. Mr. Conway does not participate in the Compensation Committee’s deliberations or decisions with regard to his own compensation. At the Compensation Committee’s request, Mr. Conway provides input regarding the performance and appropriate compensation of the other Named Executive Officers. The Compensation Committee gives considerable weight to Mr. Conway’s evaluation of the other Named Executive Officers because of his direct knowledge of each Named Executive Officer’s performance and contributions.

The Role of Stockholder Say-on-Pay Votes

In this Proxy Statement, we are providing our stockholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on our executive Compensation Program. Proposals 6 and 7 below provide information regarding the proposals for the stockholder votes on our Named Executive Officer compensation program in 2011 and on the frequency with which this advisory vote should be conducted in future years. Although the stockholder vote is non-binding, the Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for Named Executive Officers.

Elements of Compensation

The Compensation Program consists of three principal elements of compensation, listed below:

•

long-term equity incentive awards in the form of restricted stock grants;

•

annual performance-based cash incentive awards (bonuses); and

•

base salary.

In addition, certain Named Executive Officers are entitled to post-termination severance and acceleration of vesting of stock options and shares of restricted stock upon a termination and/or a change of control (as described below in “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” on page 104). Our other benefits consist of life and health insurance and a qualified 401(k) savings plan.

The Company continuously calibrates the Compensation Program based on senior-level recruiting activity and a general understanding of compensation practices within the competitive market. More specifically, Mr. Conway uses his experience in the industry and his general understanding of industry compensation trends and practices to inform his subjective recommendation for target bonus and restricted stock award amounts for the other Named Executive Officers. Similarly, the members of our Compensation Committee bring their collective experience within the industry and on other boards of directors and committees to bear in setting compensation levels for our Named Executive Officers.

Long-Term Equity Incentives

Overview. The goal of our long-term, equity-based incentive awards is to retain key executives, attract new executives, and align the interests of Named Executive Officers with stockholders. As described below, the ICS Incentive Program serves as the long-term incentive component of the compensation of ICS Business employees.

Restricted Stock Grants. The Company believes restricted stock grants incentivize its executives’ performance and further align their interests with those of stockholders because the value of restricted stock grants increases or decreases with the Company’s stock price. In addition, the grant date value of a restricted stock award is greater than the grant date value of a stock option, based on generally-accepted equity award valuation models. As a result, the Company is able to grant restrictive stock awards of fewer shares to deliver the same grant date value than it would if it were to grant stock options to its executives, which in turn reduces the dilutive effects of long-term equity awards on the Company’s stock.

Purpose of Long Vesting Periods. The annual restricted stock awards granted to the Company’s Named Executive Officers have a four year vesting period because the Company believes that long vesting periods encourage its executives to focus on the Company’s long-term business objectives and long-term stock price performance. In addition, these long vesting periods are a significant factor in retaining executives thereby providing consistency in Company leadership. In the past, the annual restricted stock awards vested 25% one year after the grant date, with the remainder vesting on an equal quarterly basis thereafter for 16 quarters. However, for the last two years, the annual restricted stock awards have vested on an equal quarterly basis over a four year period, commencing with the quarterly vesting occurring at the end of May. This change in the vesting schedule was designed to give participants a more immediate benefit at a time when base salary levels were reduced across the Company. The Compensation Committee has discretion to grant awards with different vesting schedules for new hires or in other cases, as may be recommended by management.

2010 and 2011 Equity Grants. In 2010, we granted restricted stock awards to the Named Executive Officers, as follows: 200,000 shares to Mr. Conway; 15,000 shares to Mr. Noon; and 10,000 shares to Ms. Carsen. In addition, at the February 2011 meeting of the Compensation Committee, the following restricted stock awards were approved: 200,000 shares to Mr. Conway; 30,000 shares to Mr. Noon; and 15,000 shares to Ms. Carsen. Mr. Pollema did not receive a grant of shares in 2010 or 2011 due to his participation in the ICS Incentive Program. The Compensation Committee and Mr. Conway (other than with respect to his own award) approved the stock award levels for each Named Executive Officer, based upon a subjective assessment that such levels were consistent with industry practice, reflected the experience and responsibility levels of the officers and were sufficient to retain the officers. The grants awarded to the Named Executive Officers are subject to vesting in equal quarterly increments over a four-year period, commencing on May 31^st of the year in which the grants were approved.

ICS Incentive Program. In November 2009, we launched a long-term incentive program for the ICS Business (the “ICS Incentive Program”), under the terms of which performance unit awards would be granted to certain employees of the business unit, including Mr. Pollema. The performance units were awarded under the 1999 Plan.

Under the terms of the ICS Incentive Program, Mr. Pollema received an initial award of 15,000 performance units, which amount was established and approved by the Compensation Committee in its discretion. Each

performance unit has an initial projected value of $73.85, assuming achievement of a projected level of value of the ICS Business above a baseline value of $36 million that was established by the Compensation Committee. The amount earned, if any, for each vested performance unit will vary based on (i) the ultimate value of the ICS Business relative to the baseline value of $36 million and (ii) the number of other participants receiving similar performance units (because a fraction of the total increase in ICS Business value will make up a pool that is divided among all participants based on the relative size of awards). The performance period for the award began on October 1, 2009, and ends on December 29, 2012. On the last day of the performance period, the performance units granted will become fully vested. In the event of a sale of the ICS Business, a sale of the Company, a spin-off of the ICS Business, or a termination of Mr. Pollema’s employment due to death or Disability (as defined under the ICS Incentive Program) (each, an “Acceleration Event”), such vesting will be accelerated, as follows: (a) 50% of the performance units granted will be deemed to have vested as of the date of the Acceleration Event and (b) 50% of the performance units will be deemed to have vested ratably on a daily basis from the grant date over a period ending on December 31, 2010, up to the date of the Acceleration Event. Any performance units remaining unvested as of the date of the Acceleration Event will be forfeited. Mr. Pollema must remain continuously employed until the earlier of an Acceleration Event or December 29, 2012 in order to receive payment. If Mr. Pollema’s employment terminates for any reason (other than due to death or Disability) prior to the earlier of an Acceleration Event or December 29, 2012, then the performance units will be forfeited and he will not be entitled to any payment for the performance units. However, if Mr. Pollema is terminated without Cause (as defined in the 1999 Plan) during the six-month period (1) ending on December 29, 2012 or (2) prior to the occurrence of an Acceleration Event other than his termination due to death or Disability, Mr. Pollema will be deemed to have remained employed up to the end of such six-month period, and the percentage of performance units deemed to have vested shall be calculated as of the effective date of Mr. Pollema’s termination.

On the date determined by the Compensation Committee for the settlement of performance units following the earlier of an Acceleration Event or December 29, 2012 (the “Distribution Date”), Mr. Pollema will earn and be paid the aggregate value (calculated as described above) of his vested performance units, which will be settled in shares of Common Stock, with the number of shares to be calculated using the average closing price of Common Stock during the 10 trading days prior to the Distribution Date.

Cash Compensation

Overview. eLoyalty believes that base salaries should be based on the competitive marketplace for the specific responsibilities of the position as well as the experience, knowledge, and demonstrated performance of the individual. From time to time, in the discretion of the Compensation Committee and based on the recommendations of Mr. Conway (except with respect to his own base salary), merit-based salary increases are approved.

Base Salaries. In 2010, the Compensation Committee determined, in its subjective judgment and based on their demonstrated performance in the preceding year, that Mr. Noon’s salary should be increased from $190,000 to $200,000, and that Ms. Carsen’s salary should be increased from $170,000 to $175,000. The base salaries of Mr. Conway and Mr. Pollema remained unchanged at $425,000 and $300,000, respectively.

Bonuses. The amount of individual annual cash-based incentives awarded to all participants in the Compensation Program is based on two factors: (i) the target bonus amount of each participant, as established in his or her employment agreement or as otherwise established by the Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Compensation Committee; and (ii) individual performance levels for the relevant fiscal year as measured against assigned performance goals (detailed below).

In establishing individual target bonus amounts, the Compensation Committee has focused bonuses on rewarding and retaining Named Executive Officers and other vice presidents who are considered most essential to growing our Behavioral Analytics™ Service and Integrated Contact Solutions service lines.

Mr. Conway is assigned four performance goals and each other executive is assigned two or three performance goals, all of which are derived from the Company’s annual goals for the relevant year. The Company’s annual goals are established by Mr. Conway and our board of directors (see table below for 2010 annual goals). The goals assigned to each individual are those that the Compensation Committee has determined the individual plays an integral role in the Company’s achieving.

2010 Annual Goals. Each quarter in fiscal 2010, the Compensation Committee, with input requested and received from Mr. Conway, evaluated eLoyalty’s performance against the Company’s 2010 annual goals. At its February 2011 meeting, the Compensation Committee reviewed eLoyalty’s performance against the 2010 annual goals and determined that eLoyalty had attained its goals, as and to the extent described in the table below.


Performance Measure	Description	Comment	% Attainment Determined by the Compensation Committee
Company Profit and Loss Performance (“Company P&L”)	Actual adjusted earnings for the Company versus the adjusted earnings plan of $2.0 million	Adjusted earnings were ($2.4 million);	0%

Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit Profit and Loss Performance (“BA P&L”)	Actual business unit margin for the Behavioral Analytics™ Service business unit versus the business unit margin plan of ($2.1 million)	Behavioral Analytics™ Service business unit margin was ($2.4 million)	75%

Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit Bookings (“BA Bookings”)	Actual bookings of the business unit versus the business unit’s bookings plan of $40 million	Actual bookings were $50 million	100%

Behavioral Analytics™ Service Product Development (“BA Development”)	Development of new functionality (subjective measure)	Developed significant new functionality, including First Call Resolution, Desktop Analytics, and Fraud Analytics	100%

Cash Management (“Cash Flow”)	Actual ending cash balance and days sales outstanding (“DSO”) versus plan of $26.6 million/40 day DSO	Ending cash balance was $23.3 million and ending DSO was 33 days	80%

ICS Business Unit Profit and Loss Performance (“ICS P&L”)	Actual business unit margin for the ICS Business versus the business unit margin plan of $12.5 million	ICS Business unit margin was $8.7 million	0%

ICS Business Unit Momentum (“ICS Momentum”)	Increasing sales bookings for 2011 revenue for the ICS Business (subjective measure)	Backlog in 2010 grew 80%	100%

Compliance	Timely and accurate financial and securities reporting and filing (subjective measure)	Financial and securities reporting and filing met or exceeded expectations	100%

Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit Contracts and Intellectual Property Management (“BA Contracts and IP”)	Timely contracting and robust intellectual property reviews (subjective measure)	Contracting for the Behavioral Analytics™ Service business unit and intellectual property reviews met or exceeded expectations.	100%

As indicated above, the performance measures of BA Development, ICS Momentum, Compliance, and BA Contracts and IP were each subjective in nature and not subject to quantification.

Based on its evaluation of the Company’s attainment of each of its 2010 goals, as and to the extent indicated above, the Compensation Committee approved payment of bonuses to certain participants in the Compensation Program. The actual amount of each individual’s annual bonus was determined by (i) assigning a percentage of each individual’s target bonus amount to each of the assigned performance goals, to derive a dollar amount associated with 100% achievement of the goal, (ii) multiplying the dollar amount associated with each performance goal by the appropriate percentage as indicated in the table above, to derive the actual bonus associated with such performance goal, and (iii) calculating the total bonus by adding together each of the amounts derived pursuant to the preceding clause.

Individual Annual Bonuses

(1) Target Bonus Amount of Named Executive Officers. The target bonus amount for each of the Named Executive Officers in 2010 was as follows: $583,000 for Mr. Conway; $80,000 for Mr. Noon; $325,000 for Mr. Pollema, and $65,000 for Ms. Carsen. The Compensation Committee and Mr. Conway approved the bonus targets for Mr. Noon and Ms. Carsen, based upon a subjective assessment that such levels were consistent with industry practice, reflected the experience and responsibility levels of the officers, and were sufficient to retain the officers. The bonus target levels for Mr. Conway and Mr. Pollema were contained in their respective employment contracts, which were similarly negotiated and set based on the aforementioned subjective assessments.

(2) Calculation of Individual Annual Bonuses. Using the formula indicated above, the Compensation Committee calculated and approved individual annual bonuses as follows:


	Target Bonus		Goal 1			Goal 2			Goal 3			Goal 4			Total
Kelly D. Conway		$583,000		BA Bookings			BA Development			Company P&L			BA P&L

Bonus Amount				$26,000			$19,500			$19,500						$65,000

In consideration of Mr. Noon’s extraordinary performance in connection with the sale of the ICS Business, Mr. Conway agreed to allocate $25,000 of his potential bonus to Mr. Noon. Accordingly, final bonus amounts approved by the Compensation Committee were $448,688 for Mr. Conway and $66,600 for Mr. Noon.

**	The Compensation Committee exercised its discretion not to award Mr. Pollema a bonus in light of the pending sale of the ICS Business.

In order to conserve cash, the bonuses awarded to the Named Executive Officers will be paid in restricted stock, which will vest on February 28, 2012. The number of shares for each bonus was calculated using the closing stock price on February 16, 2011, the date of the award.

Stock Incentive Plans

We administer two stock incentive plans, the 1999 Plan and the 2000 Plan, pursuant to which we grant equity-based awards such as restricted stock.

1999 Plan. Effective June 22, 1999, we adopted the 1999 Plan, which was amended and restated most recently as of May 15, 2008. The 1999 Plan will automatically terminate on May 15, 2018. The 1999 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, which may, in certain circumstances, delegate certain of its duties to one or more of the Named Executive Officers, but the full board retains the right to administer the 1999 Plan in all respects. The Compensation Committee has the power to interpret the 1999 Plan and to adopt rules for the administration, interpretation, and application of the plan according to its terms. Each year, on the first day of our fiscal year, the number of shares available to be issued under the 1999 Plan (other than with respect to incentive stock options) automatically increases by 5% of the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of that date. As of January 1, 2011, there were 992,468 shares available for issuance or delivery under the 1999 Plan.

The principal purpose of the 1999 Plan is to attract, motivate, reward, and retain selected employees, consultants, agents, and directors through the granting of stock-based compensation awards. Employees and directors are eligible to be granted awards under the 1999 Plan. The Compensation Committee determines who will receive awards under the 1999 Plan, as well as the form of the awards, the number of shares underlying the awards, and the terms and conditions of the awards consistent with the terms of the 1999 Plan. The 1999 Plan provides for a variety of awards, including non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, and other stock-based awards. The specific terms of the awards are included in the individual award agreements.

2000 Plan. The 2000 Plan, which is similar to the 1999 Plan, was adopted May 12, 2000 and was amended and restated as of September 24, 2001. The 2000 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, but the full board retains the right to administer the 2000 Plan in all respects. The 2000 Plan will automatically terminate on September 23, 2011. The maximum percentage of shares with respect to which awards may be granted under the 2000 Plan to officers and to other Section 16 employees is 20% of the total number of shares available for awards under the 2000 Plan, as adjusted. As of January 1, 2011, there were 81,366 shares available for issuance or delivery under the 2000 Plan.

The 2000 Plan allows for awards to eligible employees, consultants, and independent contractors, including only non-qualified stock options and stock awards (both restricted stock and fully-vested bonus stock). Non-Employee Directors are not eligible for awards under the 2000 Plan. Options and stock awards may be subject to performance measures and vesting requirements. The terms of the awards, including rights upon termination of employment, are included in individual award agreements.

Change in Control and Severance Benefits

We provide the opportunity for our Named Executive Officers to be protected under the severance and, for certain Named Executive Officers, change of control provisions, contained in their employment agreements. We provide this opportunity to attract and retain an appropriate caliber of talent for the position and ensure that these executives are not influenced by their personal situation and are able to be objective in evaluating a potential change in control transaction, should one arise. Our severance and change of control provisions are summarized in “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control” on page 104.

Pension Benefits

We do not sponsor any qualified or non-qualified defined benefit plans.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation

We do not maintain any non-qualified defined contribution or deferred compensation plans.

(1)	For a description of the employment agreements entered into between eLoyalty and each of the current Named Executive Officers, see “Employment Agreements” on page 100.

(2)	Effective February 12, 2009, Mr. Noon was named as the Company’s Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

(3)	Effective February 12, 2009, Ms. Carsen was named as the Company’s Corporate Secretary (in addition to her position of Vice President, Associate General Counsel, and Chief Privacy Officer).

(4)

In connection with the salary replacement program during 2008, the then-current named executive officers were granted part of their salary in the form of shares of Common Stock; for 2008, the salary column includes the value of shares granted to the relevant named executive officers in lieu of salary through the end of that year. As reported above, 2010 and 2009 base salaries accounted for approximately 19% and 26%, respectively, of total compensation for Mr. Conway, and 65% and 29%, respectively on average for the other Named Executive Officers.

(5)

Amounts of bonuses for 2009 have been re-characterized as non-equity incentive plan compensation because, as with 2010 annual incentives, determination of awards was based on attainment of pre-established goals in a more formulaic way than in years prior to 2009. Mr. Noon received a discretionary bonus of $25,000 in 2010 in consideration of his extraordinary performance in connection with the sale of the ICS Business.

(6)

Reflects the grant date fair value of the stock awards granted to Named Executive Officers in each applicable year, which was computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718. In 2009, for Mr. Pollema this amount includes a grant date fair value of $1,107,692 for his award of performance units under the ICS Incentive Program. The target value of Mr. Pollema’s award is $1,107,692. The actual value of each vested performance unit will vary based on (i) the ultimate value of the ICS Business relative to the baseline value and (ii) the number of other participants receiving similar performance units (because a fraction of the total increase in ICS Business value will fund an incentive pool that is divided among all participants based on the relative number of the performance units held by each participant at the end of the performance period). There is no specified maximum value. The assumptions used with respect to the valuation of stock grants are set forth in eLoyalty’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011 under “eLoyalty Corporation Consolidated Financial Statements—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note Fourteen—Stock-Based Compensation.” The amounts reported for 2008 have been restated to reflect the grant date fair value for the respective years, in accordance with SEC rules.

(7)

Reflects the grant date fair value of the options granted during 2008 to the applicable executives, which was computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718. The assumptions used with respect to the valuation of option grants are set forth in eLoyalty’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011 under “eLoyalty Corporation Consolidated Financial Statements—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note Fourteen—Stock-Based Compensation.” These amounts have been restated to reflect the grant date fair value for the respective years, in accordance with SEC rules.

(8)	In 2010, employer contributions to an eLoyalty qualified defined contribution plan were suspended.

Employment Agreements

The Named Executive Officers, Messrs. Conway, Noon, and Pollema, and Ms. Carsen, have employment agreements with us. The material terms of such agreements are summarized in the following paragraphs.

Employment Agreement with Mr. Conway

Under his employment agreement, Mr. Conway’s annual base salary is set at $480,000, subject to annual review and discretionary adjustment. As discussed previously, Mr. Conway’s annual base salary was reduced to $425,000 by the Compensation Committee, effective April 2009, and was not increased in 2010. In addition to base salary, he is eligible to participate in our other compensation programs, including annual bonus, equity incentive awards, and other employee benefit programs. Mr. Conway’s agreement does not specify a term of employment and states that he is an employee at will. His employment agreement provides that we may terminate his employment at any time, with or without Cause (as defined in the agreement), and that Mr. Conway may terminate his employment with or without Good Reason (as defined in the agreement).

The sale of the ICS Business constitutes a change of control under the terms of Mr. Conway’s employment agreement. Mr. Conway’s employment agreement provides that, upon a Change in Control, the vesting of his restricted stock awards and stock option grants shall be accelerated for a period of three years following the Change in Control. If the sale of the ICS Business closes as proposed, Mr. Conway would be entitled to vesting of 476,278 shares of Common Stock and 31,250 options. The sale of the ICS Business would also constitute “Good Reason” under the terms of the employment agreement, which would allow Mr. Conway to terminate his employment and receive severance.

On April 26, 2011, we entered into an amended employment agreement under which Mr. Conway agreed to waive his “Good Reason” severance rights and the accelerated vesting with respect to 265,028 shares of restricted stock. In view of the reduction in the size and scope of the Company’s operations following the sale of the ICS Business, the amended employment agreement includes a reduction in Mr. Conway’s contractual base salary from $480,000 to $300,000 and a reduction in his target bonus amount from 110% of base salary to a fixed amount of $300,000. The amended employment agreement also provides for changes in Mr. Conway’s cash severance and death/disability benefits from formula amounts to fixed amounts of $1,200,000 and $800,000, respectively. Finally, in consideration of these changes and in recognition of Mr. Conway’s significant efforts in connection with the proposed sale transaction, the amended employment agreement provides for a transaction bonus, payable to Mr. Conway upon the closing of the proposed sale, equal to $90,000 in cash and 50,000 options to purchase our common stock. Mr. Conway’s amended employment agreement will not become effective unless the sale of the ICS Business closes as currently proposed.

The current terms of Mr. Conway’s termination by us without Cause, by Mr. Conway for Good Reason, in connection with a Change in Control, or upon Mr. Conway’s death or Disability (as defined in the agreement) are described in “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control” beginning on page 104.

Employment Agreements with Other Named Executive Officers

In addition to the employment agreement with Mr. Conway, we have employment agreements with Messrs Noon and Pollema and Ms. Carsen. These employment agreements generally provide for a base salary and eligibility to receive an annual performance bonus. The agreement of Mr. Pollema establishes a target amount for the annual performance bonus and also provides for grants of equity in the form of options or restricted shares. The actual amount of the bonus is generally discretionary and is determined based upon his performance and eLoyalty’s performance against established annual goals. All of the agreements with Named Executive Officers include certain customary non-competition, non-solicitation, and proprietary information and invention provisions.

The employment agreement with Mr. Pollema provides that his employment may be terminated, with or without Cause (as defined in the agreement), by Mr. Pollema or by us. Mr. Pollema may also terminate his employment for Good Reason (as defined in the agreement). If we terminate Mr. Pollema’s employment for Cause or he resigns without Good Reason, he is entitled to no further compensation or benefits other than those earned through the effective date of termination.

100

The employment agreements with Mr. Noon and Ms. Carsen provide that they may be terminated, with or without reason at any time, by the executive or us. If we terminate the executive’s employment for Serious Misconduct (as defined in the agreement) or the executive resigns for any reason, the executive is entitled to no further compensation or benefits other than those earned through the effective date of termination.

The terms of the termination events detailed above for each executive are described in “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control” beginning on page 104.

2010 Grants of Plan-Based Awards⁽¹⁾

(1)

All grants were approved by the Compensation Committee. Restricted stock includes a feature whereby we may withhold shares from vesting of the award, as applicable (which is generally treated as a sale of those shares back to eLoyalty at fair market value) to satisfy tax withholding obligations related to the grantee. Restricted stock grants generally vest in 16 equal quarterly increments equal to 6.25% of the shares of restricted stock granted. In the event dividends are paid to owners of Common Stock, dividends would be paid on the restricted shares, in the same amount and at the same time as paid to other owners of Common Stock.

(2)	This represents the potential amounts payable under our 2010 annual incentive program. No set threshold amounts are specified under the 2010 annual incentive program.

Mr. Pollema was awarded 15,000 performance units under the ICS Incentive Program, which equates to 12,616 shares of Common Stock based on a share price of $6.40 on December 31, 2010. The target value of Mr. Pollema’s award as of the grant date was $1,107,692 and as of December 31, 2010 was $80,741, in each case based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of such date. The actual value of each vested performance unit will vary based on (i) the ultimate value of the ICS Business relative to the baseline value of $36 million and (ii) the number of other participants receiving similar performance units (because a fraction of the total increase in ICS Business value will fund an incentive pool that is divided among all participants based on the relative number of the performance units held by each participant at the end of the performance period). There is no specified maximum value.

2010 Options Exercised and Stock Vested

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

We are not obligated to make any cash payments to our Named Executive Officers if we terminate their employment for Cause (with respect to Messrs. Conway and Pollema) or Serious Misconduct (with respect to Mr. Noon and Ms. Carsen) or if the executive resigns other than for Good Reason (with respect to Messrs. Conway and Pollema only). In connection with a termination of the employment of either Mr. Conway or Mr. Pollema by us without Cause or a termination for Good Reason by Mr. Conway or Mr. Pollema, no payments are due unless the executive executes a general release. The agreements of Mr. Noon and Ms. Carsen do not require execution of a general release.

Relevant Definitions

The following terms, which are relevant to this discussion, are defined in the Named Executive Officers’ employment agreements as follows:

Cause. A termination for “Cause” occurs if eLoyalty terminates Mr. Conway’s or Mr. Pollema’s employment for any of the following reasons:

(i)

conviction, including a plea of guilty or no contest, of any felony or any crime involving moral turpitude or dishonesty;

(ii)

fraud upon eLoyalty (or an affiliate), embezzlement, or misappropriation of corporate funds;

(iii)

willful acts of dishonesty materially harmful to eLoyalty;

(iv)

activities materially harmful to eLoyalty’s reputation;

(v)

executive’s willful misconduct, willful refusal to perform his or her duties, or substantial willful disregard of his or her duties; or

(vi)

material breach of the employment agreement or any other agreement with or policy of eLoyalty, causing material harm to eLoyalty, or breach of any statutory duty or common law duty owed to eLoyalty.

Serious Misconduct. A termination for “Serious Misconduct” occurs if eLoyalty terminates Mr. Noon’s or Ms. Carsen’s employment for any of the following reasons:

(i)

fraud, embezzlement, or misappropriation of corporate funds;

(ii)

other acts of dishonesty, conviction of a felony, or other crime involving moral turpitude;

(iii)

activities materially harmful to eLoyalty’s reputation;

(iv)

willful refusal to perform or substantial disregard of the executive’s assigned duties (including, but not limited to, refusal to travel or work requested hours);

(v)

any significant violation of any statutory or common law duty of loyalty to eLoyalty; or

(vi)

any material breach or violation by the executive of any provision of the agreement or any policy of eLoyalty that eLoyalty may have in effect from time to time.

Good Reason. Under the employment agreements for Messrs. Conway and Pollema, an executive generally may terminate his employment for “Good Reason” if any of the following conditions occur:

(i)

the executive’s base salary is reduced below the amount set forth in his or her agreement, unless the salaries of the three most highly paid executives (excluding the executive) are reduced proportionately;

(ii)

the executive’s target bonus is reduced, unless the target bonuses of the three most highly paid executives (excluding the executive) are reduced proportionately;

(iii)

the executive is involuntarily relocated to any location outside of the metropolitan area in which his or her primary office is located;

104

(iv)

a significant diminution in the executive’s position (including offices, titles, and reporting relationships), authority, duties, or responsibilities;

(v)

eLoyalty materially breaches the terms of the agreement; or

(vi)

eLoyalty fails to assign the agreement to a successor upon a Change in Control.

Mr. Conway’s agreement provides that the failure of our board of directors to nominate Mr. Conway as a director constitutes Good Reason. His agreement also provides that a Change in Control, in and of itself, will not constitute Good Reason unless it results in a significant diminution of his position as described in clause (iv) above.

Mr. Pollema’s agreement provides that the definition of Good Reason does not include the diminution of responsibilities if such diminution of responsibilities is in the ordinary course of either: (i) eLoyalty becoming, pursuant to a Change in Control, part of a larger organization in which the executive directly reports to the chief executive officer of such organization; or (ii) eLoyalty becoming, pursuant to a Change in Control, either a subsidiary or equivalent separate functional business unit of a larger business organization. The definition of Good Reason in Mr. Conway’s agreement does not include such diminution of responsibilities only if he is appointed to serve as a Chief Executive Officer of the larger organization with all such accompanying authority, duties, and responsibilities.

Change in Control. Under the employment agreements for Messrs. Conway and Pollema, a “Change in Control” means:

(i)

the acquisition by any individual, entity, or group of beneficial ownership of 25% or more of eLoyalty’s outstanding Common Stock or voting securities;

(ii)

a change in the identity of a majority of the members of our board of directors from those who constituted the board at the time eLoyalty was spun off from TSC (the “Incumbent Board”), counting any new director whose election was approved by a majority of the members of the Incumbent Board as a member of the Incumbent Board;

(iii)

the consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation involving eLoyalty or a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of eLoyalty’s assets, other than in a transaction following which the beneficial owners of more than 60% of the outstanding Common Stock and voting securities prior to the transaction beneficially own 60% or more of the outstanding Common Stock and voting securities of the surviving or acquiring entity, in substantially the same relative proportion before and after the transaction; or

(iv)

the consummation of a plan of complete dissolution or liquidation of eLoyalty.

For each of the employment agreements, the definition of Change in Control derives from the 1999 Plan.

Disability. Under the employment agreements for each of the Named Executive Officers other than Mr. Conway, “Disability” has the meaning provided under the terms of the Company’s then-current long-term disability program. Under the employment agreements for Mr. Conway and, if no such long-term disability program is then in effect, Mr. Pollema, “Disability” means a permanent disability rendering the executive unable to perform his or her duties for 90 consecutive days or 180 days in any 12-month period, as determined by an independent physician appointed by our board of directors.

Non-Competition

For a period of one year following a termination for any reason, the executive cannot, for himself or an agent, partner, or employee of any person, firm, or corporation:

(i)

with respect to Mr. Conway, engage in the practice of providing consulting or related services for any eLoyalty client or prospect to or for whom the executive directly or indirectly performed or provided

105

consulting or related services, or with whom the executive had personal contact, or prospect to whom the executive submitted (or assisted or participated in any way in the submission of) a proposal, during the executive’s prior two years of employment with eLoyalty;

(ii)

with respect to Mr. Pollema, perform services of the type performed by the executive during his employment with eLoyalty or any services substantially similar thereto for any eLoyalty client or prospective client to or for whom the executive directly or indirectly performed services, or prospect to whom the executive submitted (or assisted or participated in any way in the submission of) a proposal, during the executive’s prior two years of employment with eLoyalty; and

(iii)

with respect to Mr. Noon and Ms. Carsen, perform services of the type performed by the executive during his or her employment with eLoyalty or any services substantially similar thereto in any country in which eLoyalty has performed services or sold products during the preceding three years, for any eLoyalty client for whom the executive performed services, or prospective eLoyalty client to whom the executive submitted (or assisted in the submission of) a proposal during the executive’s prior year of employment with eLoyalty.

Non-Solicitation

For a period of one year following a termination for any reason, the executive cannot:

(i)

with respect to Messrs. Conway and Pollema, directly or indirectly hire, solicit, encourage, or otherwise induce or assist in the inducement away from eLoyalty any customer, client, contractor, consultant, or other person or party with whom eLoyalty has a contractual relationship, any eLoyalty client or any eLoyalty employee;

(ii)

(9)

Solely for purposes of calculating the amounts in the table: The bonuses for 2010 were calculated as an average of the stock bonus and the target bonus. The bonuses for 2009 were calculated as an average of the cash bonus and the target bonus. The bonuses for 2008 were calculated as an average of the amount equal to the dollar equivalent of restricted shares of Common Stock granted in 2008 and the target bonus. Bonuses paid to the current Named Executive Officers are reflected in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the “2010 Summary Compensation Table” on page 99.

These calculations are no guarantee of what the amounts would be under any other circumstances. Any of the amounts set forth above may vary, depending on the performance of eLoyalty and the executive as well as several other circumstances.

The terms of the employment agreements of Messrs. Conway and Pollema require that these bonuses are paid within seven days after termination.

(10)	For purposes of this table, shares of restricted stock were valued at the closing price on December 31, 2010 of $6.40 for Common Stock.

(11)	Messrs. Conway and Pollema have options that would vest under the circumstances provided for in the table. For purposes of these calculations, however, the options are not included because they had exercise prices above eLoyalty’s closing stock price of $6.40 on December 31, 2010.

108

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

For fiscal year 2010 and 2009, fees for services provided by Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) were as described below. The Audit Committee has concluded that the provision of the services rendered by Grant Thornton with respect to the fees described below was compatible with maintaining Grant Thornton’s independence.

Audit Fees

Total audit fees paid to Grant Thornton for the 2010 and 2009 fiscal years were $403,000 and $411,000, respectively. Of the total audit fees paid in fiscal year 2010, $393,000 was for professional services rendered for the audits of the consolidated financial statements of eLoyalty and internal controls of eLoyalty and $10,000 was for statutory audit work for eLoyalty affiliates in non-U.S. jurisdictions.

Audit-Related Fees

No audit-related fees were paid to Grant Thornton for fiscal year 2010. For fiscal year 2009, Grant Thornton was paid $3,000 in audit-related fees for accounting consultations.

Tax Fees

For fiscal year 2010, Grant Thornton was paid $123,000 in tax fees. No tax fees were paid to Grant Thornton for fiscal year 2009.

All Other Fees

No fees other than those described above were paid to Grant Thornton for fiscal years 2010 or 2009.

Pre-Approval Policy

The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services provided to eLoyalty by Grant Thornton. Pre-approval generally is provided at a regular meeting of the Audit Committee, covers a period of at least two years, and is, at a minimum, reviewed annually. Any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services covered and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent auditors and management periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by Grant Thornton in accordance with this pre-approval and the fees for the services performed to-date. The Audit Committee, or its Chairman, may also pre-approve other particular services on a case-by-case basis. All services provided to eLoyalty by Grant Thornton during 2010 and 2009 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with this policy. Specifically, the Audit Committee pre-approved Grant Thornton’s provision of audit services for 2010 and 2009. In addition, at the October 2009 meeting, the Audit Committee pre-approved Grant Thornton’s provision of domestic tax services for 2010 through 2012.

109

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with eLoyalty’s management and Grant Thornton the audited financial statements of eLoyalty contained in eLoyalty’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011. The Audit Committee also has discussed with Grant Thornton the matters required to be discussed pursuant to SAS No. 61 (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards, Communication with Audit Committees), as amended by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T.

The Audit Committee has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from Grant Thornton required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and has discussed with Grant Thornton its independence.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the board that the audited financial statements be included in eLoyalty’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2011.

PROPOSAL #5: RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Grant Thornton acted as independent public accountants for eLoyalty for 2010. The Audit Committee appointed Grant Thornton as independent public accountants for eLoyalty to audit eLoyalty’s consolidated financial statements for 2011.

eLoyalty has been advised that representatives of Grant Thornton will be at the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Vote Required for Ratification of Independent Public Accountants

The ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton as our independent public accountants will require the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of shares of eLoyalty Stock outstanding and entitled to vote and present at the Annual Meeting.

Recommendation of Our Board of Directors

THE AUDIT COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL #5, THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF GRANT THORNTON AS eLOYALTY’s INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS.

111

PROPOSAL #6: SAY ON PAY PROPOSAL

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, enacted on July 21, 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) requires that we, as a public company, include in this proxy statement a non-binding, advisory stockholder vote regarding the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, the compensation tables, and related tables and disclosures provided herein (commonly referred to as “Say on Pay”). Therefore, pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking our stockholders to vote on the following advisory resolution:

RESOLVED, that the stockholders of eLoyalty Corporation approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, as described in the Compensation and Analysis section, the compensation tables, and the related tables and disclosures provided in this proxy statement (the “Say on Pay Proposal”).

As discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, the compensation tables, and related tables and disclosures provided herein, the objective of our Compensation Program is to support and enable the Company’s transformation from a consulting services company to an analytics and managed services company. Our Compensation Program is designed such that cash compensation is relatively low compared to the market in order to conserve cash; rather, we emphasize restricted stock awards in order to incentivize its executives’ performance and further align their interests with those of our stockholders. In general, the total compensation awarded to our executives is designed to be internally equitable and market competitive.

Your vote on the Say on Pay Proposal is advisory, and therefore is not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee, or the board of directors. The vote will not be construed to create or imply any change to the fiduciary duties of the Company or the board of directors, or to create or imply any additional fiduciary duties for the Company or the board. Nonetheless, because the board of directors and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders, they will carefully consider the outcome of the vote when evaluating any future actions with respect to the compensation of our Named Executive Officers.

Vote Required to Approve the Say on Pay Proposal

Approval of the Say on Pay Proposal will require the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of shares of eLoyalty Stock outstanding and entitled to vote and present at the Annual Meeting.

Recommendation of Our Board of Directors

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS STRONGLY SUPPORTS THE COMPANY’S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM AND RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL #6, THE SAY ON PAY PROPOSAL.

112

PROPOSAL #7: FREQUENCY VOTE ON SAY ON PAY

The Dodd-Frank Act and Section 14A of the Exchange Act also require that we, as a public company, include in this proxy statement a non-binding, advisory stockholder vote regarding the frequency with which our stockholders will have a future advisory vote with respect to the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, as provided in the Say on Pay Proposal described above. Companies must give stockholders the choice regarding the frequency on which they will cast their advisory vote regarding the Say on Pay proposal, whether it be every year, every two years, or every three years (commonly referred to as “Frequency Vote on Say on Pay”). Stockholders may also abstain from making a choice.

We are asking our stockholders to vote on whether a non-binding, advisory vote of the stockholders of eLoyalty Corporation with respect to the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement, shall be held at an annual meeting of stockholders every year, every two years, or every three years.

Our board of directors recommends that our stockholders cast their advisory vote on the Say on Pay proposal every three years, as this frequency would result in the Company obtaining stockholders’ valuable feedback regarding executive compensation, while at the same time recognizing the Company’s emphasis on long-term incentive compensation. As disclosed in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis, our executive compensation program is structured simply, with only three primary components: long-term equity incentives; base salary; and annual performance-based cash incentives. This structure has been maintained by the Company over the past several years, which has lead to a stable compensation program, with minimal adjustments required on an annual basis. Furthermore, our compensation program emphasizes long-term equity incentives, which vest over a period of four years. This long vesting period is intended to incentivize our executives to enhance the long-term performance of the Company as well as long-term stockholder value. Thus, a vote every three years is consistent with our executive compensation philosophy and approach and will allow us to ensure that any changes to our compensation program are responsive to stockholders and in the Company’s best interest.

Stockholders will be able to specify one of four choices for this proposal on the proxy card: one year, two years, three years or abstain. The frequency alternative that receives the most votes will be the choice of stockholders. Stockholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the board’s recommendation. As with your vote on the Say on Pay Proposal above, your Frequency Vote on Say on Pay is advisory, and therefore is not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee, or our board of directors. The vote will not be construed to create or imply any change to the fiduciary duties of the Company or our board of directors, or to create or imply any additional fiduciary duties for the Company or our board. Nonetheless, because our board of directors and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders, they will carefully consider the outcome of the vote and may ultimately decide that it is in the best interests of our stockholders to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the option approved by our stockholders.

Vote Required for the Frequency Vote on Say on Pay

The Frequency Vote on Say on Pay will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. This means that the frequency that receives the most affirmative votes of shares outstanding and entitled to vote as of the Record Date and present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be the choice of stockholders.

Recommendation of Our Board of Directors

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE “3 YEAR” FREQUENCY ALTERNATIVE FOR THE ADVISORY SAY ON PAY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

113

OTHER BUSINESS

Our board of directors does not know of any further business to be presented at the Annual Meeting. However, should any other matters arise that are properly presented and require a vote of eLoyalty stockholders, the persons named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card intend to vote on those matters in accordance with their judgment as to the best interests of eLoyalty.

SUBMISSION OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2012

Deadline for Inclusion in Proxy Statement

Any stockholder proposal to be considered by eLoyalty for inclusion in the Proxy Statement and form of proxy for next year’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received by eLoyalty’s Corporate Secretary at its principal executive offices, 150 Field Drive, Suite 250, Lake Forest, Illinois 60045, no later than December 30, 2011, and must otherwise satisfy the requirements of applicable SEC rules.

Deadline for Notice of Other Stockholder Proposals/Director Nominations

Stockholder proposals that are not intended for inclusion in a proxy statement for an annual meeting, but that stockholders intend to introduce at an annual meeting, as well as proposed stockholder nominations for the election of directors at an annual meeting, must each comply with the advance notice procedures set forth in eLoyalty’s By-Laws in order to be brought properly before that annual stockholders’ meeting. In addition, with respect to any such stockholder proposals, eLoyalty may utilize discretionary authority conferred by proxy in voting thereon if, among other matters, the stockholder proponent does not give timely notice of the matter to eLoyalty in accordance with such By-Law procedures. In general, written notice of such a stockholder proposal or a director nomination must be delivered to eLoyalty’s Corporate Secretary not less than 75 days or more than 100 days prior to the anniversary date of the preceding annual meeting of stockholders. With regard to next year’s annual meeting of stockholders, the written notice must be received no earlier than February 9, 2012 and no later than March 5, 2012.

In addition to timing requirements, the advance notice provisions of the By-Laws contain informational content requirements that must also be met. A copy of the By-Law provisions governing these timing procedures and content requirements may be obtained by writing to the Corporate Secretary of eLoyalty at the address specified on the first page of this proxy statement.

If the presiding officer at the annual meeting of stockholders determines that business, or a nomination, was not brought before the meeting in accordance with the By-Law provisions, then such business will not be transacted or such defective nomination will not be accepted.

114

WHERE YOU CAN OBTAIN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by eLoyalty. In addition to soliciting proxies through the mail, certain employees of eLoyalty may solicit proxies in person, by facsimile, or by telephone, without additional compensation. As is customary, eLoyalty will, upon request, reimburse brokers, banks, custodians, and other nominee holders of record for their out-of-pocket expenses of forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners of eLoyalty shares.

The SEC’s rules permit eLoyalty to deliver a single set of proxy materials to one address shared by two or more of its stockholders. This delivery method is referred to as “householding” and can result in significant cost savings. To take advantage of this opportunity, eLoyalty may deliver only one set of proxy materials to multiple stockholders who share an address. eLoyalty agrees to deliver promptly, upon request, a separate copy of the proxy materials to any stockholder at the shared address to which a single copy of these documents was delivered. If you prefer to receive separate copies of the proxy materials, or if you currently are a stockholder who shares an address with another stockholder and would like to receive only one copy of future proxy materials for your household, please contact Christine R. Carsen, Vice President, Associate General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary, eLoyalty Corporation, 150 Field Drive, Suite 250, Lake Forest, Illinois 60045 or call 847-582-7000.

Your vote is important. Please submit your proxy with voting instructions by telephone or through the Internet by following the instructions provided as soon as possible or complete the enclosed proxy card with your voting instructions and mail it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.

By Order of the Board of Directors,

/s/ Christine R. Carsen

Christine R. Carsen, Vice President, Associate

General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary

We will furnish without charge to each person whose proxy is solicited upon the written request of such person a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2011, including the financial statements and financial statement schedules (upon request, exhibits thereto will be furnished subject to payment of a specified fee). Requests for copies of such report should be directed to Christine R. Carsen, Vice President, Associate General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary, eLoyalty Corporation, 150 Field Drive, Suite 250, Lake Forest, Illinois 60045.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.11(a), at any time after the date of this Acquisition Agreement and prior to the receipt of the Seller Stockholder Approval, Seller may, in response to an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal which did not result from a breach of Section 6.11(a), (i) furnish information with respect to Seller and its Affiliates to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives pursuant to a customary confidentiality and standstill agreement not less restrictive of the other party than the Confidentiality Agreement, except that such confidentiality and standstill agreement between Seller and such Person shall not contain any provisions that would prevent Seller from complying with its obligations to provide the required disclosure to Buyer pursuant to this Section 6.11 and (ii) participate in discussions or negotiations with such Person and its Representatives regarding any Acquisition Proposal, if the Seller Board (A) believes in good faith the Acquisition Proposal to be bona fide, (B) determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and a qualified financial advisor) that the unsolicited Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, (C) determines that the failure to take any of the above actions would not be consistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Seller under applicable Law and (D) complies in all material respects with the requirements set forth in Section 6.11(e); provided, however, that Seller shall promptly provide to Buyer any material non-public information concerning Seller or any of its Affiliates that is provided to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal or its Representatives which was not previously provided to Buyer. Upon execution of this Acquisition Agreement, Seller, its Representatives, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person previously conducted with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, and will request, to the extent permitted under the applicable confidentiality agreement, the prompt return or destruction of any confidential information previously furnished to such Persons that has not been previously returned to Seller. Seller shall ensure that its Representatives are aware of the provisions of this Section 6.11, and any violation of the restrictions contained in this Section 6.11 by the Seller Board (including any committee thereof) or its Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.11 by Seller.

(c) (i) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 6.11(c), (A) the Seller Board and any committee thereof shall not (1) withdraw or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Buyer, its Seller Board Recommendation (the “Seller Withdrawal Recommendation”) or (2) approve or recommend or propose publicly to approve or recommend to the holders of Seller Common Stock and Seller Series B Stock, or otherwise permit or cause Seller to accept or enter into, an Acquisition Proposal (any action described in this clause (A) being referred to as a “Seller Adverse Recommendation Change”), (B) neither Seller nor any of its subsidiaries shall approve, recommend, publicly propose or enter into any Third Party Acquisition Agreement, (C) neither Seller nor any of its subsidiaries shall release any third party from, or waive any provisions of, any confidentiality and standstill agreement to which Seller is a party except to the extent the Seller Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that the failure to so waive the applicable provisions of a confidentiality or standstill agreement would not be consistent with the Seller Board’s fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Seller under applicable Law, and (D) neither the Seller Board nor any committee thereof shall agree or resolve to take any actions set forth in clause (A), (B) or (C) of this sentence. (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Seller Stockholder Approval, subject to Section 6.11(d), if the Seller Board (A) receives an Acquisition Proposal that has not resulted from a breach of Seller’s obligations under this Section 6.11 and that it determines in good faith

A-46

(after consultation with outside legal counsel and a qualified financial advisor) constitutes a Superior Proposal, and (B) determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that failure to take any of the following actions would not be consistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Seller under applicable Law, then the Seller Board may (x) make a Seller Adverse Recommendation Change and/or (y) cause Seller to enter into a Third Party Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, but only if Seller shall have concurrently with entering into such Third Party Acquisition Agreement terminated this Acquisition Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(viii).

(d) If the Seller Board determines to effect a Seller Adverse Recommendation Change as provided in Section 6.11(c)(ii)(B)(x) or to authorize Seller to enter into a Third Party Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal as provided in Section 6.11(c)(ii)(B)(y), such Seller Adverse Recommendation Change or Third Party Acquisition Agreement (as applicable) may only become effective after the end of the fifth (5th) day following Buyer’s receipt of written notice from Seller (a “Seller Adverse Recommendation Notice”) advising Buyer that the Seller Board intends to effect such Seller Adverse Recommendation Change, or to authorize Seller to enter into such Third Party Acquisition Agreement, which notice shall contain a copy of the Superior Proposal to which such Seller Adverse Recommendation Change or Third Party Acquisition Agreement relates; provided that any material amendment to the terms of such Superior Proposal after the initial Seller Adverse Recommendation Notice shall require a new Seller Adverse Recommendation Notice and restart the five (5) day period referred to above. In determining whether to effect a Seller Adverse Recommendation Change or to cause the Seller to enter into a Third Party Acquisition Agreement in response to a Superior Proposal, in each case, as provided in Section 6.11(c), the Seller Board shall negotiate in good faith with Buyer and its Representatives (to the extent Buyer desires to negotiate) with respect to any offer from Buyer and take into account in good faith any changes to the terms of this Acquisition Agreement proposed by Buyer (in response to a Seller Adverse Recommendation Notice or otherwise) in determining whether such Acquisition Proposal still constitutes a Superior Proposal.

(e) Seller shall, within 48 hours of receipt of an Acquisition Proposal, advise Buyer orally and in writing of such Acquisition Proposal, and the identity of the Person making any such Acquisition Proposal and the material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal. Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed of the status (including any change to the terms thereof) of any such Acquisition Proposal.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 6.11 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit Seller from (i) taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that any such disclosure other than (x) a “stop-look-and-listen” communication to the stockholders of Seller pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communications to the stockholders of Seller), (y) an express rejection of any applicable Acquisition Proposal or (z) an express reaffirmation of the Seller Board Recommendation to the stockholders of Seller to vote in favor of a resolution approving the transactions contemplated herein, shall be deemed to be a Seller Adverse Recommendation Change or (ii) making any disclosure to Seller’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Seller Board after consultation with outside counsel, failure to so disclose would be inconsistent with applicable Law; provided, however, that in no event shall Seller or the Seller Board or any committee thereof take, agree or resolve to take any action prohibited by Section 6.11(c). Seller shall not submit to the vote of its stockholders any Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal prior to the termination of this Acquisition Agreement.

(g) For purposes of this Acquisition Agreement:

(i) “Acquisition Proposal” means any written inquiry, proposal or offer relating to a possible (A) amalgamation, merger, consolidation, tender offer or similar transaction involving the ICS Business or Seller, other than an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving Seller but not involving the Purchased Assets or Assets to which Buyer receives benefit under the Transition Services Agreement; (B) sale, lease or other disposition, directly or indirectly (including by way of merger, consolidation, share or unit exchange or otherwise) of any of the Purchased Assets or Assets of which Buyer receives benefit under the Transition Services Agreement, other than the sale, lease or other disposition of the Purchased Assets used, consumed, replaced or sold in the Ordinary

A-47

Course; (C) issuance, sale or other disposition of (including by way of merger, consolidation, share or unit exchange or otherwise) Seller’s securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase or securities convertible into, such securities) other than option grants to employees of Seller in the Ordinary Course of the ICS Business or any issuance, sale or other disposition that will close after the Closing Date and shall not preclude the consummation of the Closing; (D) liquidation, dissolution, recapitalization or other similar type of transaction with respect to Seller other than any of the Purchased Assets or Assets of which Buyer receives benefit under the Transition Services Agreement or any such transaction that will close after the Closing Date and shall not preclude the consummation of the Closing; (E) transaction which is similar in form, substance or purpose to any of the foregoing transactions; or (F) public announcement of an agreement, proposal, plan or intent to do any of the foregoing; provided, however, that the term “Acquisition Proposal” will not include (X) the transactions contemplated hereby or (Y) any transaction not involving the Purchased Assets or Assets to which Buyer receives benefit under the Transition Services Agreement.

(ii) “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide Acquisition Proposal, including any Acquisition Proposal relating solely to the ICS Business Segment, made by a third party (A) on terms which the Seller Board determines in good faith, after consultation with Seller’s outside legal counsel and qualified financial advisors, to be more favorable from a financial point of view to the holders of Seller Common Stock and Seller Series B Stock than the transactions contemplated by this Acquisition Agreement, taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal, and this Acquisition Agreement (including any proposal by Buyer to amend the terms of this Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Acquisition Agreement), (B) that is not subject to a financing condition (and if financing is required, such financing is then fully committed to the third party), (C) that includes termination rights of the third party on terms no less favorable to Seller than the terms set forth in this Acquisition Agreement, and (D) that, in the good faith, reasonable judgment of the Seller Board is reasonably capable of being completed, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such proposal, without unreasonable delay, all from a third party capable of performing such terms; provided that the Seller Board shall not so determine that any such proposal is a Superior Proposal prior to complying in all material respects with Section 6.11(e) with respect to such proposal.

6.12 Delivery of Monthly Financials. Until the Closing Date, Seller shall, as promptly as practicable but in no event later than twenty (20) days after the end of each calendar month, prepare and deliver to Buyer (a) an accounts receivable aging report of Seller (in respect of the ICS Business) as of the end of such calendar month, (b) an unaudited income statement of Seller (in respect of the ICS Business) for such calendar month and (c) a list of each Seller transaction (in respect of the ICS Business) with a value of $20,000 that occurred during such month.

6.13 Non-Compete and Non-Solicit Provisions.

(a) For a period of five (5) years from and after the Closing Date, Seller shall not and will cause its Subsidiaries not to own an interest in, operate, join, control, advise, work for, consult to, have a financial interest which provides any control of, or participate in any Person producing, designing, providing, soliciting orders for, selling, distributing, consulting to, or marketing or remarketing products or services competitive with or in substantially the same line of business as the ICS Business, or any part thereof, as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the foregoing will not restrict or prohibit Seller or any of its Affiliates from (i) maintaining and/or undertaking passive investments in less than 5% of the outstanding stock of any publicly-traded corporation or (ii) engaging in the Continuing Business.

(b) For a period of three (3) years from and after the Closing Date, Seller shall not and will cause its Subsidiaries not to take any action, formal or informal, direct or indirect, to (A) induce any employee of Buyer or Parent (or of any of their respective Affiliates) to terminate his or her employment with Buyer or Parent (or of any of their respective Affiliates), or attempt to interfere with the relationship or prospective relationship between Buyer or Parent (or of any of their respective Affiliates) and any creditor, licensee, customer, prospective customer, employee or other party; provided, however, that Seller shall not be

A-48

restricted from making general solicitations of employment (including the use of general advertisements and recruiting agencies) not specifically directed at the employees of Buyer or Parent (or of any of their respective Affiliates) and hiring any person (a) who responds thereto, or (b) whose employment has been previously terminated by Buyer or Parent (or of any of their respective Affiliates).

(c) Seller acknowledges that the periods of restriction, the geographical areas of restriction and the restraints imposed by the provisions of Sections 6.13(a) and (b) and Section 6.8(c) are fair and reasonably required for the protection of Buyer. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of Section 6.13(a) or (b) or Section 6.8(c) is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability will have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Acquisition Agreement will be enforceable against Seller as so modified. Each Party hereto agrees that any violation of the covenants contained in Section 6.13(a) or (b) or Section 6.8(c) is likely to cause irreparable damage to Buyer; therefore, in addition to any other remedies the Buyer may have under this Acquisition Agreement or otherwise, the Buyer will be entitled to seek an injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction restraining Seller from violating the covenant or any of its Affiliates from committing or continuing any violation of Section 6.13(a), or (b) or Section 6.8(c), and Seller shall not contest such injunctive relief on the basis that there is an adequate remedy at law for any such violation or threatened violation of this Section 6.13 or Section 6.8(c).

(d) For a period of three (3) years from and after the Closing Date, Parent shall not and will cause its Subsidiaries not to take any action, formal or informal, direct or indirect, to (A) induce any employee of Seller (or of any of its Affiliates) to terminate his or her employment with Seller (or of any of its Affiliates), or attempt to interfere with the relationship or prospective relationship between Seller (or of any its Affiliates) and any creditor, licensee, customer, prospective customer, employee or other party; provided, however, that Parent shall not be restricted from making general solicitations of employment (including the use of general advertisements and recruiting agencies) not specifically directed at the employees of Seller (or of any of its Affiliates) and hiring any person (a) who responds thereto, or (b) whose employment has been previously terminated by Seller (or of any of its Affiliates).

(e) Parent acknowledges that the periods of restriction and the restraints imposed by the provisions of Section 6.13(d) are fair and reasonably required for the protection of Seller. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of Section 6.13(d) is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability will have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Acquisition Agreement will be enforceable against Parent as so modified. Each Party hereto agrees that any violation of the covenants contained in Section 6.13(d) is likely to cause irreparable damage to Seller; therefore, in addition to any other remedies Seller may have under this Acquisition Agreement or otherwise, Seller will be entitled to seek an injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction restraining Parent from violating the covenant or any of its Affiliates from committing or continuing any violation of Section 6.13(d), and Parent shall not contest such injunctive relief on the basis that there is an adequate remedy at law for any such violation or threatened violation of Section 6.13(d).

6.14 Licenses and Permits; Buyout and Accounting Process & System Assistance.

(a) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with and assist Buyer and its Affiliates (i) in transferring all transferrable Licenses and Permits to Buyer or its designated Affiliate to the extent such Licenses and Permits are not necessary or desirable for Seller after the Closing, (ii) in obtaining for Buyer of its designated Affiliate, on a post-Closing basis, those Licenses and Permits as may be necessary to operate and conduct the ICS Business as now conducted or to occupy any premises in which the ICS

A-49

Business is operated or conducted, (iii) in negotiating in good faith with the applicable third parties buyout agreements, early termination agreements or similar agreements with respect to the Covered Equipment and the Covered Leases, and (iv) in negotiating in good faith with the applicable third parties agreements regarding Buyer’s use after the Closing of IP Licenses comparable to the IP Licenses of Seller (in respect of the ICS Business) for Third Party Software listed on Exhibit 6.14, including with respect to the aggregate number of users authorized pursuant to each such license.

(b) Each of Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith with one another to cause the creation and verify the operation of a stand-alone accounting process and system to separately record and report on financial information with respect to the ICS Business in a manner allowing Buyer to comply with all applicable requirements (including reporting requirements) of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as the case may be, in respect of the ICS Business (such accounting process and system, the “ICS Business Accounting and Process System”).

6.15 Notification. From and after the date of this Acquisition Agreement through the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Acquisition Agreement in accordance with Section 10.2, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing as soon as Seller becomes aware of any of the following:

(a) the hiring, termination, dismissal or resignation of any senior executive of Seller involved in the ICS Business;

(b) any dispute with any material supplier or customer of Seller (in respect of the ICS Business) arising after the date of this Acquisition Agreement; and

(c) any written notice received by Seller that a material supplier or customer of Seller (in respect of the ICS Business) intends to change the existing business relationship or the terms and conditions under which it currently sells to or buys from Seller (in respect of the ICS Business).

6.16 Prior Month End Statement. No later than 14 Business Days following the Prior Month End, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer the Prior Month End Balance Sheet, together with a statement (the “PME Statement”), which shall: (A) set forth (1) the Managed Services Transfer Amount, (2) the Estimated Working Capital, (3) the Estimated Target Working Capital, and (4) the determination of the Estimated Excess Amount or the Estimated Deficiency Amount, as the case may be, each prepared from Seller’s books and records in respect of the ICS Business Segment and in accordance with Seller’s historical accounting principles, methods, practices and categories (and, in the case of the Prior Month End Balance Sheet, prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied); and (B) reflect no write-up of any individual Asset of the ICS Business which was included in the ICS Business Balance Sheet and is included in the Prior Month End Balance Sheet to a value greater than its value on the ICS Business Balance Sheet. Seller shall make all of its work papers and other reasonably relevant documents in connection with the preparation of the Prior Month End Balance Sheet and the PME Statement available to Buyer and shall make the persons in charge of the preparation of the Prior Month End Balance Sheet and PME Statement available for reasonable inquiry by Buyer.

6.17 Voting Agreements. Seller represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that, as of the date of this Agreement, Seller has obtained executed Voting Agreements, each in substantially the form attached as Exhibit C-1 or Exhibit C-2 hereto, as the case may be, from Approving Stockholders providing for irrevocable voting proxies for an aggregate of not less than 48% of the outstanding voting power of Seller in favor of the Seller Stockholder Approval at the Seller Stockholder Meeting. Seller further represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that such Voting Agreements or new or additional Voting Agreements, each in substantially the form attached as Exhibit C-1 or Exhibit C-2 hereto, as the case may be, shall be in full force and effect such that irrevocable voting proxies for an aggregate of not less than 48% of the outstanding voting power of Seller shall be voting in favor of the Seller Stockholder Approval at the Seller Stockholder Meeting. Seller shall provide Buyer with duly executed copies of any new or additional Voting Agreements entered into after the date hereof and any other information that Buyer may reasonably request to confirm Seller’s compliance with the agreements contained in this Section 6.17.

The obligation of Seller to proceed with the Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction, on or prior to the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions precedent, any of which may be waived in whole or in part by Seller:

8.1 Accuracy of Representations and Warranties. Each of the representations and warranties made by each of Buyer and Parent in this Acquisition Agreement shall be true and correct in all respects (if and to the extent modified by the term “material,” “in all material respects,” “material adverse effect” or any other similar qualification based upon materiality) or in all material respects (if and to the extent not modified by any such qualification) on and as of the Closing Date as though such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (other than those made as of a specified date earlier than the Closing Date in which case each such representation or warranty shall have been so true and correct on and as of such earlier date); provided, however, that this Section 8.1 shall not prohibit or modify Seller’s post-Closing right to be indemnified by Buyer and Parent, and Buyer’s and Parent’s post-Closing obligation to indemnify Seller, pursuant to Section 9.2(b) for breaches of representations or warranties as of the execution of this Acquisition Agreement or as of the Closing Date.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE IX, and notwithstanding the closing conditions set forth in Section 7.1, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its managers, members, officers and employees (in their capacity as such), and its and their Affiliates and agents (in all, the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”) against and in respect of any and all Losses incurred directly or indirectly, in connection with, arising from or as a result of:

(a) any material breach of any of the covenants made in this Acquisition Agreement by Seller or any of its Affiliates;

(b) any breach of any of the representations and warranties made in this Acquisition Agreement by Seller;

(d) the Retained Liabilities;

(e) the ownership and operation of the Continuing Business following the Closing; or

(f) any fraud, intentional misrepresentation or criminal acts committed by or on behalf of Seller or any of its Affiliates on or prior to the Closing Date.

9.2 Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE IX, Buyer and Parent shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its and directors, shareholders, officers and employees (in their capacity as such), and their Affiliates and agents against and in respect of any and all Losses incurred directly or indirectly in connection with, arising from or as a result of:

(a) any material breach of any of the covenants made in this Acquisition Agreement by Buyer, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates;

(b) any breach of any of the representations or warranties made in this Acquisition Agreement by Buyer or Parent;

(d) the ownership and operation of the ICS Business following the Closing (other than in respect of the Retained Liabilities); or

(e) any fraud, intentional misrepresentation or criminal acts committed by or on behalf of Buyer or any of its Affiliates on or prior to the Closing Date.

9.3 Notice and Payment of Losses. Upon obtaining actual knowledge of any Loss, any Person entitled to indemnification under Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the Party liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) specifying the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount, to the extent known, of the claim asserted and any other relevant information in the possession of the Indemnified Party (such written notice being hereinafter referred to as a “Notice of Claim”). If

A-53

the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim of indemnification, it shall notify the Indemnified Party thereof within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice of Claim. If the dispute has not been resolved within thirty (30) days after the parties first meet to attempt such resolution, either party may initiate litigation in accordance with this Acquisition Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party does not dispute the Indemnified Party’s claim of indemnification, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of any valid claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Indemnified Party’s Notice of Claim. For the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date (such date, the “Escrow Expiration Date”), any indemnification obligation of Seller pursuant to this ARTICLE IX shall be satisfied first from the Escrow Fund and, if the Escrow Fund is insufficient or has been fully distributed, by Seller. After the Escrow Expiration Date, any indemnification obligation of Seller pursuant to this Article IX shall be satisfied by Seller.

9.4 Defense of Third Party Claims. If an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder because of a claim asserted by any claimant (other than an Indemnified Party hereunder) (“Third Person”), the Indemnified Party shall give a Notice of Claim to the Indemnifying Party promptly after such assertion is actually known to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, and using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of the claim alleged by such Third Person (a “Third Person Claim”) at its sole cost and expense; provided, that the Indemnifying Party notified the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Person Claim; and provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to the matter or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be withheld or delayed unreasonably). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of Seller or Buyer (in either case, in respect of the ICS Business), or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. After receiving notice of the Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may thereafter participate in (but not control) the defense of any such Third Person Claim with its own counsel at its own expense, unless separate representation is necessary to avoid a conflict of interest, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall assume the reasonable fees and expenses of such representation. For the avoidance of doubt, a claim or challenge asserted by a Governmental Authority, including the IRS, against an Indemnified Party shall be considered a Third Person Claim hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Person Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its option, to assume and control defense of the matter, and the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such defense. If the Indemnifying Party does not offer reasonable assurances to the Indemnified Party as to the Indemnifying Party’s financial capacity to satisfy any final judgment or settlement, following a request from the Indemnified Party for such assurances, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its option, to assume and control defense of the matter on the same basis as the immediately preceding sentence. The failure of the Indemnifying Party to respond in writing to the Notice of Claim within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof shall be deemed an election not to defend the same. If the Indemnifying Party does not so elect to indemnify and assume the defense of any such Third Person Claim, (a) the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim, in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such claim, after giving written notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and (b) the Indemnifying Party may participate in (but not control) the defense of such action, with its own counsel at its own expense.

(a) This Acquisition Agreement may only be terminated

(i) by mutual written consent of Seller and Buyer;

(ii) by Seller or Buyer, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before July 3, 2011; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Acquisition Agreement under this Section 10.2(a)(ii) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to perform any of its obligations under this Acquisition Agreement resulted in the failure of the Closing to be consummated by such date;

(iii) by Seller or Buyer, upon the issuance of any final, nonappealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction precluding the consummation of the Closing or the transaction contemplated by this Acquisition Agreement or the Related Agreements (by injunction or otherwise), provided that the right to terminate this Acquisition Agreement under this Section 10.2(a)(iii) shall not be available to a Party if the issuance of such final, nonappealable order was primarily due to the failure of such Party to perform any of its obligations under this Acquisition Agreement;

(iv) by Buyer if Seller Stockholder Approval is not obtained within 90 days of execution of this Acquisition Agreement by the Parties;

(v) by Buyer, if a Seller Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred;

(vi) by Buyer, if Seller shall have willfully and materially breached the terms of Section 6.11 of this Acquisition Agreement in any respect adverse to Buyer;

(vii) by Buyer, if Seller has intentionally or recklessly breached any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Acquisition Agreement, and such breach, individually or in combination with any other breach, would cause any of the conditions in ARTICLE VII not to be satisfied;

(viii) by Seller, if Seller enters into a Third Party Acquisition Agreement providing for a Superior Proposal, in accordance with Section 6.11(c), provided, however, that Seller may only exercise this termination right if Seller has complied with its obligations under Section 6.11, including, without limitation, Section 6.11(d), and provided, further, that such termination shall not be effective unless concurrently therewith Seller fulfills its obligations under Section 10.2(c);

(ix) by Seller, if Buyer is in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Acquisition Agreement, and such breach, individually or in combination with any other such breach, would cause any of the conditions in ARTICLE VIII not to be satisfied; or

(x) by Buyer, in accordance with Section 6.2.

(b) If this Acquisition Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 10.2(a), written notice of such termination shall be given to the other Party or Parties, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Acquisition Agreement shall forthwith become null and void (other than Section 6.8, this ARTICLE X and the Confidentiality Agreement in accordance with its terms, all of which shall survive termination of this Acquisition Agreement at any time) and there shall be no liability as a result thereof on the part of any Party hereto or their respective Affiliates, except (i) any liability of Seller as provided in Section 10.2(c), and (ii) any liability of any Party for fraud, bad faith or any breach of this Acquisition Agreement.

(c) (i) If this Acquisition Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(v), (vi), or (viii), then Seller shall, on the date of such termination, pay Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer a fee equal to the sum of:

(A) $1,500,000 (the “Termination Fee”), and

(B) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, actually documented and incurred or payable by or on behalf of Buyer in connection with or in anticipation of the transactions contemplated by this

A-57

Acquisition Agreement and the Related Agreements (whether before or after the date of this Acquisition Agreement), including all attorney’s fees, financial advisor’s fees, accountants’ fees and filing fees up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $500,000 (“Termination Expenses”).

(ii) If this Acquisition Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(iv) or Section 10.2(a)(vii), then Seller shall, on the date of such termination, pay Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer a fee equal to the Termination Expenses.

(d) Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that the payment of the Termination Fee and/or Termination Expenses as contemplated by Section 10.2(c) is reasonable and not excessive in light of the nature of the transactions contemplated by this Acquisition Agreement. If Buyer has the right to receive the Termination Fee and/or Termination Expenses pursuant to Section 10.2(c), such Termination Fee and/or Termination Expenses shall be Buyer’s exclusive remedy for any breach by Seller other than for fraud or bad faith. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 10.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and that, without these agreements, Buyer would not enter into this Acquisition Agreement. If Seller fails promptly to pay the Termination Fee and/or Termination Expenses and, in order to obtain such payment(s), Buyer commences a suit that results in a judgment against Seller for the Termination Fee or Termination Expenses, Seller shall pay to Buyer its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such suit.

10.3 Entire Agreement. This Acquisition Agreement and the Schedules and Exhibits hereto embody the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter. The Parties hereto agree to execute such additional transfer agreements as may be required by local law applicable to Seller; provided, however, that in the event of any conflicting provisions, the provisions of this Acquisition Agreement shall prevail.

10.4 Guaranty. Parent irrevocably guarantees each obligation of Buyer, and the full and timely performance by Buyer of its obligations under the provisions of this Acquisition Agreement. This is a guarantee of payment and performance, and not of collection, and Parent acknowledges and agrees that this guarantee is full and unconditional, and, subject to applicable law, no release or extinguishment of Buyer’s liabilities and obligations (other than in accordance with the terms of this Acquisition Agreement) will affect the continuing validity and enforceability of this guarantee. Parent hereby waives, for the benefit of Seller, (a) any right to require Seller as a condition of payment or performance of Parent to proceed against Buyer or pursue any other remedies whatsoever and (b) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law that limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, except to the extent that any such defense is available to Buyer under this Acquisition Agreement or an Related Agreement. Parent understands that Seller is relying on this guarantee in entering into this Acquisition Agreement.

10.5 Severability. If any provision of this Acquisition Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of any Party hereto under this Acquisition Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable, (b) this Acquisition Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, and (c) the remaining provisions of this Acquisition Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom.

10.6 Assignment; Binding Agreement. This Acquisition Agreement and various rights and obligations arising hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Acquisition Agreement nor any of the rights, interests, or obligations hereunder shall be transferred, delegated, or assigned by the Parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other

A-58

Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), except that Buyer shall have the right to transfer and assign its rights hereunder to any entity which is controlled by Buyer or by the Affiliates of Buyer. No such assignment shall relieve Buyer of any Liability or obligation hereunder.

10.7 Counterparts. This Acquisition Agreement may be executed simultaneously in multiple counterparts, and in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10.8 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided below or elsewhere herein, each Party hereto will pay all costs and expenses incident to its negotiation and preparation of this Acquisition Agreement and to its performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein on its part to be performed or complied with, including the fees, expenses and disbursements of its counsel and accountants.

Board of Directors

eLoyalty Corporation

150 Field Drive

Suite 250

Lake Forest, IL 60045

To the Members of the Board of Directors:

eLoyalty Corporation (the “Company”) has engaged NeXtAdvisors, a unit of North Point Advisors LLC, a member of FINRA¹ (“NeXtAdvisors”, “we” or “us”), to serve as an independent financial advisor to the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) of the Company and to provide an opinion (the “Opinion”) as of the date hereof as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the Company of the Consideration (as herein defined) to be received by the Company in the contemplated transaction described below (the “Proposed Transaction”). Any conclusion that the Consideration to be received by the Company is fair, from a financial point of view, would be based on whether the consideration in the Proposed Transaction is within a range suggested by certain financial analyses discussed with and approved in advance by the Company.

Description of the Proposed Transaction

The Proposed Transaction is the proposed sale of the Integrated Contact Solutions business (“ICS”) of the Company to TeleTech Holdings, Inc. (“TeleTech”), pursuant to an Acquisition Agreement (the “Agreement”), draft dated March 10, 2011, by and between the Company and TeleTech. The Agreement provides, among other things, for the sale of the assets that comprise ICS to TeleTech pursuant to the Agreement for consideration consisting of a cash payment to the Company of $40,850,000 and the assumption of certain liabilities of ICS. The cash payment shall be adjusted for (i) a working capital amount and (ii) a managed services transfer amount (such payment, as so reduced, the “Consideration”), and subject to an escrow for potential indemnification obligations. We understand the terms and conditions of the Proposed Transaction are fully set forth in the Agreement.

Scope of Analysis

This Opinion (i) does not address the merits of the underlying business decision to enter into the Proposed Transaction versus any alternative strategy or transaction; (ii) does not address any transaction related to the Proposed Transaction; (iii) is not a recommendation as to how the board of directors or any stockholder should vote or act with respect to any matters relating to the Proposed Transaction, or whether to proceed with the Proposed Transaction or any related transaction; and (iv) does not indicate that the consideration received is the

best possibly attainable under any circumstances. Instead, this Opinion merely states whether the consideration in the Proposed Transaction is within a range suggested by certain financial analyses discussed with and approved in advance by the Company, which analyses did not include the Excluded Analyses (as defined below), among others. The decision as to whether to proceed with the Proposed Transaction or any related transaction may depend on an assessment of factors unrelated to the financial analyses on which this Opinion is based. In rendering this Opinion, NeXtAdvisors is not expressing any opinion with respect to the amount or nature of any compensation to any of the Company’s officers, directors, or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the Consideration to be received by the Company in the Proposed Transaction, or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation. This Opinion should not be construed as creating any fiduciary duty on the part of NeXtAdvisors to any party.

In connection with this Opinion, NeXtAdvisors has made such reviews, analyses and inquiries as it has deemed necessary and appropriate under the circumstances. NeXtAdvisors also took into account its assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions, as well as its experience in securities and business valuation, in general, and with respect to similar transactions, in particular. NeXtAdvisors’ procedures, investigations, and financial analysis with respect to the preparation of its Opinion included, but were not limited to, the items summarized below.

NeXtAdvisors, in arriving at its opinion, has, among other things:

Reviewed certain internal financial information and other data relating to ICS and its financial prospects that were provided to us by the management of the Company, including financial forecasts and estimates prepared by the management of the Company;

Discussed certain short and long-term challenges that management of the Company believes confront the Company if the Company were to retain ICS, including without limitation the question of customer concentration;

Reviewed information obtained during discussions with members of the management and the board of directors of the Company concerning certain aspects of the Proposed Transaction and the business and financial prospects of ICS;

Compared the financial terms of the Proposed Transaction with publicly-available financial terms of certain other transactions that we believe to be generally relevant;

Reviewed a draft of the Agreement dated March 10, 2011;

Discussed the information referred to above and the background and other elements of the Proposed Transaction with the management of the Company; and

Conducted such other analyses and considered such other factors as NeXtAdvisors deemed appropriate.

Assumptions, Qualifications and Limiting Conditions

In performing its analyses and rendering this Opinion with respect to the Proposed Transaction, NeXtAdvisors, with the Company’s consent:

1.	Relied upon the accuracy, completeness, and fair presentation of all information, data, advice, opinions and representations obtained from public sources or provided to it from private sources, including Company management, and did not independently verify such information;

C-2

LOGO

Relied upon the fact that the Board of Directors and the Company have been advised by counsel as to all legal matters with respect to the Proposed Transaction, including whether all procedures required by law to be taken in connection with the Proposed Transaction have been duly, validly and timely taken;

3.	Assumed that any estimates, evaluations, forecasts and projections furnished to NeXtAdvisors were reasonably prepared and based upon the best currently available information and good faith judgment of the person furnishing the same;

4.	Assumed that information supplied and representations made by Company management are substantially accurate regarding the Company and the Proposed Transaction;

5.	Assumed that the representations and warranties made in the Agreement are substantially accurate;

6.	Assumed that the final versions of all documents reviewed by NeXtAdvisors in draft form conform in all material respects to the drafts reviewed;

7.	Assumed that there has been no material change in the assets, financial condition, business, or prospects of ICS since the date of the most recent financial statements and other information made available to NeXtAdvisors;

8.	Assumed that all of the conditions required to implement the Proposed Transaction will be satisfied and that the Proposed Transaction will be completed in accordance with the Agreement without any amendments thereto or any waivers of any material terms or conditions thereof; and

9.	Assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Proposed Transaction will be obtained without any adverse effect on the Company.

To the extent that any of the foregoing assumptions or any of the facts on which this Opinion is based prove to be untrue in any material respect, this Opinion cannot and should not be relied upon. Furthermore, in NeXtAdvisors’ analysis and in connection with the preparation of this Opinion, NeXtAdvisors has made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the Proposed Transaction.

NeXtAdvisors has prepared this Opinion effective as of the date hereof. This Opinion is necessarily based upon market, economic, financial and other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated as of the date hereof, and NeXtAdvisors disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting this Opinion which may come or be brought to the attention of NeXtAdvisors after the date hereof.

NeXtAdvisors did not evaluate the Company’s solvency or conduct an independent appraisal or physical inspection of any specific assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise), nor have we been furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals.

NeXtAdvisors is not expressing any opinion as to the market price or value of the common stock of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) after announcement of the Proposed Transaction. This Opinion should not be construed as a valuation opinion, a credit rating, a solvency opinion, or an analysis of the Company’s credit worthiness, and does not address the legal, tax or accounting consequences of the Proposed Transaction on the Company or the holders of its securities. NeXtAdvisors has not made, and assumes no responsibility to make, any representation, or render any opinion, as to any legal matter.

Furthermore, NeXtAdvisors, with the Company’s consent, (i) did not review or perform any analyses with respect to any business of the Company other than ICS, and (ii) did not review or perform any analyses relating to the historical trading prices of the Company Common Stock, including without limitation any comparison of the Consideration to be received by the Company in the Proposed Transaction, on the one hand, to such historical

C-3

LOGO

trading prices and the value of the Company’s other businesses, on the other (the excluded analyses described in clauses (i) and (ii) are referred to together herein as the “Excluded Analyses”).

This Opinion is furnished for the use and benefit of the Board of Directors in connection with its consideration of the Proposed Transaction and is not intended to, and does not, confer any rights or remedies upon any other person, and is not intended to be used, and may not be used, by any other person or for any other purpose, without NeXtAdvisors’ express consent. In addition, the board of directors has not asked NeXtAdvisors to address, and its Opinion did not address, the fairness to, or any other consideration of, the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of the Company. Neither this Opinion nor the services provided by NeXtAdvisors in connection herewith may be publicly disclosed or referenced in any manner, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of NeXtAdvisors, which will not be unreasonably withheld, except that this Opinion may be disclosed in any proxy statement furnished to the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Proposed Transaction provided that this Opinion is quoted in full in such proxy statement.

This Opinion is solely that of NeXtAdvisors, and NeXtAdvisors’ liability in connection with this letter shall be limited in accordance with the terms set forth in the engagement letter between NeXtAdvisors and the Company dated June 8, 2010, as amended as of February 24, 2011 (as so amended, the “Engagement Letter”). This letter is confidential, and its use and disclosure is strictly limited in accordance with the terms set forth in the Engagement Letter.

Disclosure of Prior Relationships

NeXtAdvisors has acted as financial advisor to the Board of Directors and will receive a fee for its services. A portion of NeXtAdvisors’ fee is contingent upon whether or not the Proposed Transaction is successfully consummated, but NeXtAdvisors will not receive any other significant payment or compensation contingent upon whether or not the Proposed Transaction is successfully consummated. Pursuant to the terms of the Engagement Letter, a portion of NeXtAdvisors’ fee is payable upon NeXtAdvisors’ stating to the Board of Directors that it is prepared to deliver its Opinion. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify NeXtAdvisors against certain liabilities arising from its engagement. Other than this engagement, during the two years preceding the date of this Opinion, NeXtAdvisors has not had any material relationship with any party to the Proposed Transaction for which compensation has been received or is intended to be received, nor is any such material relationship or related compensation mutually understood to be contemplated.

Conclusion

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, NeXtAdvisors is of the opinion that as of the date hereof the Consideration to be received by the Company in the Proposed Transaction is fair from a financial point of view to the Company.

This Opinion has been approved by the Opinion Review Committee of NeXtAdvisors.

Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders

eLoyalty Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of eLoyalty Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of January 1, 2011 and December 26, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ (deficit) equity and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 1, 2011. Our audits of the basic financial statements included the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Schedule II- Valuation and Qualifying Accounts. We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 1, 2011 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 1, 2011 and December 26, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 1, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 1, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data)

Note One—Description of Business

eLoyalty helps its clients achieve breakthrough results with revolutionary analytics and advanced technologies that drive continuous business improvement. With a long track record of delivering proven solutions for many of the Fortune 1000 companies, the Company’s offerings include the Behavioral Analytics™ Service, Integrated Contact Solutions, and Consulting Services, aligned to enable focused business transformation.

The Company has been focused on growing and developing its business through two primary Business Units: the Behavioral Analytics™ Service and Integrated Contact Solutions. Through its Business Units, the Company generates three types of revenue: (1) Managed services revenue, which is recurring, annuity revenue from long-term (generally one- to five-year) contracts; (2) Consulting services revenue, which is generally project-based and sold on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee basis; and (3) Product revenue, which is generated through the resale of third-party software and hardware. The chart below shows the relationship between these Business Units and the types of revenue generated from each.


Business Unit	Managed Services Revenue	Consulting Services Revenue	Product Revenue
Behavioral Analytics™ Service	Subscription and amortized deployment revenue; marketing application hosting and email fulfillment revenue	Follow-on consulting revenue	None
Integrated Contact Solutions	Contact center monitoring and support revenue; remote application support revenue	System integration revenue for the Integrated Contact Solutions Service Line; consulting revenue for the traditional CRM Service Line	Hardware and software resale revenue, primarily from Cisco’s products

On March 17, 2011, the Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement providing for the sale of all its assets used in the Integrated Contact Solutions Business Unit to a subsidiary of TeleTech Holdings, Inc. (“TeleTech”). Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, TeleTech will pay to the Company $40.85 million in cash at closing, subject to adjustment, and assume certain liabilities of the Integrated Contact Solutions Business Unit. The purchase price adjustments are related to working capital and prepaid managed services contracts.

The Company expects the sale of the Integrated Contact Solutions Business Unit to close in the second quarter of 2011. However, the closing of the transaction is subject to various conditions, including approval by the Company’s stockholders, the receipt of required third-party consents and approvals, and other closing conditions customary for transactions of this type. No assurances can be given that the transaction will be consummated on the terms contemplated or at all. If the transaction is consummated as proposed, then the Company will continue to operate its Behavioral Analytics™ Business Unit and will change its corporate name to Mattersight Corporation.

Note Two—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Fiscal Year-End

The fiscal year-end dates presented for fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008 are January 1, 2011, December 26, 2009, and December 27, 2008, respectively. Fiscal year 2010 consisted of fifty-three weeks instead of fifty-two weeks, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of eLoyalty and all of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those amounts.

Reclassifications and Revisions

Certain data center expenses that have been previously reported as Selling, general and administrative have been reclassified as Cost of services within the Company’s Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit. The Company believes this revised classification provided a clearer understanding of its key profit/loss drivers. As a result, the Company reclassified $2.1 million and $2.0 million for fiscal years 2009 and 2008, respectively, from Selling, general and administrative to Cost of services. These changes did not have an impact on net loss.

Revenue Recognition

Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit

Behavioral Analytics™ Service Line

Managed services revenue included in the Behavioral Analytics™ Service Line consists of planning, deployment, training, and subscription fees. Planning, deployment, and training fees, which are considered to be installation fees related to long-term subscription contracts, are deferred until an installation is complete and are then recognized over the term of the applicable subscription contract. The terms of these subscription contracts generally range from three to five years. Installation costs incurred are deferred up to an amount not to exceed the amount of deferred installation revenue and additional amounts that are recoverable based on the contractual arrangement. These costs are included in Prepaid expenses and Other long-term assets. Such costs are amortized over the term of the subscription contract. Costs in excess of the foregoing revenue amount are expensed in the period incurred.

The amount of revenue generated from Behavioral Analytics™ Service subscription fees is based on a number of factors, such as the number of agents accessing the Behavioral Analytics™ System and/or the number of hours of calls analyzed during the relevant month of the term of the subscription contract. This revenue is recognized as the service is performed for the client.

Consulting services revenue included in the Behavioral Analytics™ Service Line primarily consists of fees charged to the Company’s clients to provide post-deployment follow-on consulting services, which

D-8

eLOYALTY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

generally consist of custom data analysis, the implementation of enhancements, and training. These follow-on consulting services are generally performed for the Company’s clients on a fixed-fee basis. Revenue is recognized as the services are performed, with performance generally assessed on the ratio of actual hours incurred to date compared to the total estimated hours over the entire term of the contract.

Marketing Managed Services Line

Marketing Managed Services revenue is derived from marketing application hosting and email fulfillment. Revenue related to hosting services is generally in the form of fixed monthly fees received from the Company’s clients and is recognized as the services are performed for each client. Any related setup fee would be recognized over the contract period of the hosting arrangement. Revenue related to email fulfillment services is recognized as the services are provided to the client, based on the number of emails distributed for the client.

Integrated Contact Solutions Business Unit

Integrated Contact Solutions Service Line

Managed services revenue included in the Integrated Contact Solutions Service Line consists of fees generated from the Company’s contact center support and monitoring services. Support and monitoring services are generally contracted for a fixed fee, and the revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Support fees that are contracted on a time-and-materials basis are recognized as the services are performed for the client.

For fixed fee Managed services contracts, where the Company provides support for third-party software and hardware, revenue is recorded at the gross amount of the sale. If the contract does not meet the requirements for gross reporting, then Managed services revenue is recorded at the net amount of the sale.

Consulting services revenue included in the Integrated Contact Solutions Service Line consists of the modeling, planning, configuring, or integrating of an Internet Protocol (“IP”) network solution within the Company’s clients’ contact center environments. These services are provided to the client on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee basis. For the integration of a system, the Company recognizes revenue as the services are performed, with performance generally assessed on the ratio of hours incurred to date compared to the total estimated hours over the entire term of the contract. For all other consulting services, the Company recognizes revenue as the services are performed for the client.

Revenue from the sale of Product, which is generated primarily from the resale of third-party software and hardware by the Company, is generally recorded at the gross amount of the sale.

A large portion of our Integrated Contact Solutions Service Line is related to being a Cisco reseller. If we become unable to continue as a Cisco reseller, there could be a material impact to our financial results.

D-9

eLOYALTY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Traditional CRM Service Line

Consulting services revenue included in the Company’s traditional CRM Service Line consists of fees generated from the Company’s operational consulting and systems integration services or from building systems for the Company’s clients. These services are provided to the Company’s clients on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee basis. For the integration or building of a system, the Company recognizes revenue as the services are performed, with performance generally assessed on the ratio of hours incurred to date compared to the total estimated hours over the entire term of the contract. For all other consulting services, the Company recognizes revenue as the services are performed for the client.

Managed services revenue included in the traditional CRM Service Line consists of fees generated from the Company’s remote application support. Contracts for remote application support can be based on a fixed-fee or time-and-materials basis. For fixed-fee support, revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period. For time-and-material contracts, revenue is recognized as the services are provided to the client.

Multiple-element arrangements are segmented into separate earning processes when the elements have objective and reliable evidence of fair value and have value to the customer on a stand-alone basis. Revenue related to contracts with multiple elements is allocated based on the fair value of the element and is recognized in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy for each type of element, as described above. If the fair value for any undelivered element cannot be established, then revenue is deferred until all elements have been delivered to the client. If PCS or similar services are the only remaining activity without established fair value, then the revenue for the entire arrangement is recognized ratably over the service period.

Reimbursed expenses revenue includes billable costs related to travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred while performing services for the Company’s clients. The cost of third-party product and support may be included within this category if the transaction does not satisfy the requirements for gross reporting. An equivalent amount of reimbursable expenses is included in Cost of revenue.

Payments received for Managed services contracts in excess of the amount of revenue recognized for these contracts are recorded as unearned revenue until revenue recognition criteria are met.

Cost of Revenue before Reimbursed Expenses, Exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization

Cost of services primarily consists of labor costs including salaries, fringe benefits, and incentive compensation of the Company’s delivery personnel and Selling, general and administrative personnel working on direct, revenue-generating activities and third-party pass-through costs related to the Company’s Managed services. Cost of services also includes employee costs for travel expenses, training, laptop computer leases, and other expenses of a non-billable nature. Cost of services excludes depreciation and amortization.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, incentive compensation, commissions, and employee benefits for business development, account management, solution development/support, marketing and administrative personnel, as well as facilities costs, a provision for uncollectible amounts, and costs for the Company’s technology infrastructure and applications. The personnel costs included here are net of any labor costs directly related to the generation of revenue, which are represented in Cost of services.

Loss Per Common Share

The Company calculates loss per common share in accordance with the guidance provided under Earnings per Share. The per common share basic net loss available to common stockholders has been computed by

D-10

eLOYALTY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for each period presented by the weighted average shares outstanding. The per common share diluted loss available to common stockholders has been computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, which is primarily related to Series B Stock, using the “treasury stock” method. In periods in which there was a loss, the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents is not included in the diluted loss per share calculation as it was antidilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of current assets and liabilities approximated their fair values as of January 1, 2011 and December 26, 2009. Fair value is an exit price and establishes a three-tier valuation hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The first tier, Level 1, uses quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 uses inputs, other than quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets, which are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 uses unobservable inputs in which there are little or no market data, and requires the entity to develop its own assumptions. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments readily convertible into known amounts of cash (with original purchased maturities of three months or less) to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash principally represents cash as security for the Company’s line of credit and letters of credit issued to support the Company’s capital lease obligations.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and receivables. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash consist of money market funds and deposits with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, such deposits may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit. The Company’s receivables are derived from revenue earned from clients located primarily in the U.S. and are denominated in U.S. dollars. For fiscal year 2010, there were no clients that accounted for 10% or more of total revenue. For fiscal year 2009, one client, Sears Holdings Management Corporation, accounted for 15% of total revenue. For fiscal year 2008, one client, United HealthCare Services, Inc., accounted for 17% of total revenue. As of January 1, 2011, one client, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, accounted for 13%, of total gross accounts receivable. As of December 26, 2009, two clients accounted for 10% or more of total net receivables: United Rentals, Inc. accounted for 13% and Blue Shield of California accounted for 12%.

Equipment and Leasehold Improvements

D-11

eLOYALTY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

years is used. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or disposed of are eliminated from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in the statements of operations. The carrying value of equipment and leasehold improvements is periodically reviewed to assess recoverability based on future undiscounted cash flows. An impairment loss, if any, would be measured as the excess of the carrying value over the fair value.

The Company accounts for software developed for internal use in accordance with the guidance provided under ASC Topic 350, which addresses accounting for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use. As such, costs incurred that relate to the planning and post-implementation phases of development are expensed. Costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized and amortized over the asset’s estimated useful life, which is generally three to five years.

The Company leases certain equipment using both capital leases and operating leases. Assets leased under capital leases are recorded at the present value of future lease payments and depreciated on a straight line basis. All capital leases are for terms of either thirty or thirty-six months.

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment using a two-step test approach. In the first step, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared with its carrying value. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, then goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is performed. The second step is performed if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill must be determined and compared to the carrying value of the goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then an impairment loss equal to the difference will be recorded.

A detailed determination of the fair value of a reporting unit may be carried forward from one year to the next if specific criteria have been met.

There has been no impairment identified as a result of the annual review of goodwill as of January 1, 2011 and the detailed determination of fair value as of December 26, 2009. The carrying value of goodwill was $2.6 million as of January 1, 2011 and as of December 26, 2009. The Company may incur an impairment of goodwill if its financial results are negatively impacted by current economic conditions and the Company continues to incur losses or its stock price declines.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets reflect costs related to patent and trademark applications, Marketing Managed Services customer relationships acquired in 2004, and the 2003 purchase of a license for certain intellectual property. Patent and trademark applications are amortized over 120 months. The other intangible assets are fully amortized. The original cost of intangible assets as of January 1, 2011 and December 26, 2009 was $2.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Accumulated amortization of intangible assets as of January 1, 2011 and December 26, 2009 was $2.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Currently, amortization expense of intangible assets is expected to be $0.1 million for fiscal year 2011 and $0.1 million annually thereafter.

Other Long-Term Assets

Other long-term assets primarily consist of deferred costs related to the Company’s Behavioral Analytics™ Service-related Managed services and third-party support costs related to the Company’s Integrated Contact Solutions Managed services. These costs are recognized over the terms of the respective agreements, generally one to five years. Costs included in long-term assets will be recognized over the remaining term of the agreements beyond the first twelve months.

D-12

eLOYALTY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Income Taxes

The Company uses an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided when tax laws and financial accounting standards differ with respect to the amount of income for the year, the basis of assets and liabilities and for tax loss carryforwards. The Company does not provide U.S. deferred income taxes on earnings of U.S. or foreign subsidiaries, which are expected to be indefinitely reinvested.

The Company has recorded income tax valuation allowances on its net deferred tax assets to account for the unpredictability surrounding the timing of realization of the Company’s U.S. and non-U.S. net deferred tax assets due to uncertain economic conditions. The valuation allowances may be reversed at a point in time when management determines realization of these tax assets has become more likely than not, based on a return to predictable levels of profitability.

The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Significant judgment is used to determine the likelihood of the benefit. There is additional guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements.

Stockholders’ (Deficit) Equity

Stockholders’ (deficit) equity includes common stock issued, additional paid-in capital, accumulated deficit, treasury stock, and accumulated other comprehensive loss. The 3.5 million shares of Series B Stock are not classified as permanent equity or a liability in the accompanying balance sheets. These shares of Series B Stock are conditionally redeemable and do not meet the definition of a mandatorily redeemable financial instrument. Holders of Series B Stock have the ability to initiate a redemption upon the occurrence of certain events that are considered outside the Company’s control.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currencies for the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are their local currencies. All assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars at end of period exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of stockholders’ (deficit) equity and comprehensive income (loss). Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Foreign currency net losses were $0.1 million for fiscal year 2010, $0 for fiscal year 2009, and $0.4 million for fiscal year 2008. These foreign currency transactions from subsidiaries are included in interest and other income within the consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. Determining fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires certain assumptions. The Company uses historical information as the primary basis for the selection of expected life, expected volatility, expected dividend yield assumptions, and anticipated forfeiture rates. The risk-free interest rate is selected based on the yields from U.S. Treasury Strips with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the options being valued.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (ASC Topic 605)—Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. This guidance modifies the fair value requirements of ASC subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition-Multiple Element Arrangements, by allowing the use of the “best estimate of selling price” in addition to VSOE and vendor objective evidence (now referred to as TPE, standing for third-party evidence) for determining the selling price of a deliverable. A vendor is now required to use its best estimate of the selling price when VSOE or TPE of the selling price cannot be determined. In addition, the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration is no longer permitted.

In October 2009, the FASB also issued ASU No. 2009-14, Software (ASC Topic 985)—Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. This guidance modifies the scope of ASC subtopic 965-605, Software-Revenue Recognition, to exclude from its requirements (a) non-software components of tangible products and (b) software components of tangible products that are sold, licensed, or leased with tangible products when the software components and non-software components of the tangible product function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality.

ASU No. 2009-13 and ASU No. 2009-14 also require expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures and are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company has elected to adopt these updates effective for its fiscal year beginning January 2, 2011 and apply them prospectively from that date for new or materially modified arrangements. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, which provides new guidance related to the disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value classifications and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to the Level 3 fair value classification. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are typically measured using Level 1 inputs. The new guidance also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. In addition, the new guidance amends guidance on employers’ disclosures about post-retirement benefit plan assets to require that disclosures be provided by classes of assets instead of by major categories of assets. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to the guidance on Subsequent Events, ASU No. 2010-09, which removed the requirement for an SEC registrant to disclose the date through which subsequent events are evaluated. It did not change the accounting for or disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. This amendment was effective upon issuance. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-09 had no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (ASC 350), When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts ASU No. 2010-28, which modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. ASU No. 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-28 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

During 2010, the FASB issued several ASUs, ASU No. 2010-01 through ASU No. 2010-29, and during 2009, ASU No. 2009-02 through ASU No. 2009-17. Except for ASUs No. 2009-13, 2009-14, 2010-06, 2010-09 and 2010-28 the ASUs entail technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance related to specialized industries and therefore have minimal, if any, impact on the Company.

Note Three—Severance and Related Costs

Severance costs are comprised primarily of contractual salary and related fringe benefits over the severance payment period. Facility costs include losses on contractual lease commitments, net of estimated sublease recoveries, and impairment of leasehold improvements, and certain office assets.

During fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, the Company recognized pre-tax charges (including adjustments) of $1.2 million, $1.3 million, and $1.6 million, respectively. For fiscal year 2010, the Company recorded $1.2 million of expense related to severance and related costs for the elimination of sixty-three positions. The $1.3 million of expense recorded in fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to $1.2 million of restructuring actions taken in 2009 for the elimination of thirty-four positions and $0.1 million for an adjustment to sublease recoveries. The $1.6 million of expense recorded in fiscal year 2008 was primarily due to $1.1 million of restructuring actions taken in 2008 for the elimination of thirty positions and $0.5 million for the reduction of leased office space.

During fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, the Company made cash payments of $1.2 million, $1.5 million, and $1.9 million, respectively, related to cost-reduction actions. During fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008 cash payments were primarily related to severance and related costs, office space reductions, and office closures. The Company expects substantially all remaining severance payments to be paid out by the first quarter of 2011 pursuant to agreements entered into with affected employees.

The severance and related costs and their utilization for the fiscal years ended 2008, and 2009, and 2010 are as follows:

As of January 1, 2011, the $0.3 million that remained reserved relates to severance payments and facility lease payments, net of estimated sublease recoveries, and these lease payments will be paid pursuant to contractual lease terms through February 2015. The $0.3 million balance is apportioned among “Accrued Compensation and Related Costs”, “Other current liabilities”, and “Other long-term liabilities.” As of December 26, 2009, the $0.3 million that remained reserved relates to facility lease payments, net of estimated sublease recoveries, and these lease payments will be paid pursuant to contractual lease terms through February 2015. The $0.3 million balance is apportioned between “Other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities.”

The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Significant judgment is used to determine the likelihood of the benefit. There is also guidance on derecognition, classification, interest, and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods, and income tax disclosures.

A reconciliation of the gross amounts of unrecognized tax benefits at the beginning and end of the year are as follows:


	For the Fiscal Years Ended
	2010		2009		2008
Balance at beginning of year	$	12.8	$	12.8	$	12.8

Additions based on tax positions related to the current year		—		—		—

Reductions for tax positions as a result of lapse of statute		—		—		—
Settlements		—		—		—

Balance at end of year	$	12.8	$	12.8	$	12.8

Due to the Company’s worldwide net operating loss carryforward position, these unrecognized tax benefits will not impact the Company’s effective tax rate, if recognized. Any change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months is not expected to result in a significant impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

Due to the Company’s worldwide net operating loss carryforward position, accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as of January 1, 2011 are not material. Interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions are recorded as part of income tax expense.

The statutes of limitation for the Company’s income tax returns after 2001 remain open for examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). In addition, the net operating loss carryforward can be examined by the

D-18

eLOYALTY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

IRS for a period of three years after filing the tax return for the year the loss is used. The Company is currently under audit by the IRS for fiscal years 2008 and 2009. While the Company cannot predict the timing or ultimate outcome of the audit, the Company’s management believes the ultimate disposition will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.

Foreign and U.S. state jurisdictions have statutes of limitations generally ranging from 3 to 5 years. The state impact of any federal changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification to the states. The Company and its subsidiaries may have various state and foreign income tax returns for immaterial jurisdictions in the process of examination throughout the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities were comprised of the following:


	As of

Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carryforwards	$	64.9		$	58.9

Deferred income taxes are not provided on certain undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are expected to be permanently reinvested in those companies. These earnings aggregated to an immaterial amount at each of January 1, 2011 and December 26, 2009.

During fiscal year 2002, the Company established a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets for the U.S. This is in addition to the valuation allowance established in 2001 for non-U.S. deferred tax assets. The Company continues to provide a valuation allowance on significantly all domestic and foreign deferred tax assets as the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets in these jurisdictions will not be realized. As of January 1, 2011, net deferred tax assets of $62.7 million were fully offset by a valuation allowance. The Company’s U.S. Federal net operating losses (“NOLs”) of $214.3 million and U.S. State NOLs of $95.3 million expire beginning in 2022 and 2011, respectively. The Company’s non-U.S. NOLs of $1.4 million are subject to various expiration dates beginning in 2011. The Company also carries $0.5 million in Research and Development credit carryforwards that expire beginning in 2021.

The Company’s ability to utilize its NOLs could become subject to significant limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code if the Company were to undergo an ownership change. An ownership change would occur if the stockholders who own or have owned, directly or indirectly, 5% or more of the Company’s Common Stock or are otherwise treated as 5% stockholders under Section 382 and the regulations promulgated

D-19

eLOYALTY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

thereunder increase their aggregate percentage ownership of the Company’s stock by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest percentage of the stock owned by these stockholders at any time during the testing period, which is generally the three-year period preceding the potential ownership change. In the event of an ownership change, Section 382 imposes an annual limitation on the amount of taxable income a corporation may offset with NOL carryforwards. Any unused annual limitation may be carried over to later years until the applicable expiration date for the respective NOL carryforwards. The Company has undergone a Section 382 analysis and does not believe there is a limitation on the use of NOL’s under Section 382. If a change in ownership is deemed to have occurred during the past three years, then it may be possible that the Company’s NOL carryforward could be subject to limitation under Section 382 for tax return purposes. However, since its NOL carryforward is fully reserved with a valuation allowance, there would be no impact for financial statement purposes from a Section 382 limitation.

The Company was spun off from TSC into a separate, publicly-traded company on February 15, 2000. Pursuant to the Tax Sharing and Disaffiliation Agreement between TSC and the Company, TSC was liable to the Company for any income tax benefits realized by TSC related to the exercise of the Company stock options by TSC employees. With respect to the realizability of these tax benefits, the Company was dependent on TSC’s ability to realize the benefits. No benefits were realized by TSC, and accordingly, the Company did not recognize any of these benefits. On May 1, 2009, TSC filed a Certificate of Dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and TSC stockholders approved the announced Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution of TSC on April 27, 2009. Therefore, no tax benefits are expected to be realized in the future.

Note Eight—Other Long-Term Assets

Other long-term assets were $10.7 million as of January 1, 2011 and $8.2 million as of December 26, 2009. Other long-term assets primarily consist of third-party support costs related to the Company’s Integrated Contact Solutions Managed services and deferred costs related to the Behavioral Analytics™ Service. These costs are recognized over the terms of the respective agreements, generally one to five years. Costs included in long-term assets will be recognized over the remaining term of the agreements beyond the first twelve months. Other long-term assets consisted of the following:

Note Eleven—Line of Credit

The Company maintains a Loan Agreement with the Bank, which expires on December 31, 2011. The Facility, which is $5.0 million as of January 1, 2011, requires the Company to maintain a minimum cash and cash equivalent balance within a secured account at the Bank. The balance in the secured account cannot be less than the outstanding balance drawn on the Facility line of credit and letter of credit obligations under the Facility. Available credit under the Facility has been reduced by $2.5 million related to letters of credit issued under the Facility to support the Company’s capital lease obligations. As a result, $2.5 million remains available under the Facility as of January 1, 2011. Loans under the Facility bear interest at the Bank’s prime rate or, at the Company’s election, an alternate rate of LIBOR (London InterBank Offering Rate) plus 0.75%. The Company did not have any borrowings or interest expense under the Facility during fiscal years 2010 or 2009.

allows employees to contribute up to 30% of their eligible compensation and up to 100% of their bonus compensation, subject to IRS statutory limits. In order to conserve cash given the then-current macro-economic uncertainties, eLoyalty suspended the employer matching contributions for both U.S. and non-U.S. plans, fully for fiscal year 2010, and partially for fiscal years 2009 and 2008. For fiscal years ended 2009 and 2008, a partial year employer match contribution of $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, was expensed. The Company funds non-U.S. contributory plans as required by statutory regulations. Amounts funded by the Company were immaterial for non-U.S. plans for the periods presented.

Note Thirteen—Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and Capital Stock

The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of (i) 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and (ii) 40,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. The Company has designated 5,000,000 shares of its preferred stock as its redeemable Series B Stock, of which 3,549,078 and 3,616,169 shares were issued and outstanding as of January 1, 2011 and December 26, 2009, respectively.

On September 12, 2008, eLoyalty completed a Rights Offering, which raised $14.8 million, net of expenses. Under the terms of the Rights Offering, persons who owned shares of the Company’s Common Stock or Series B Stock as of the close of business on August 13, 2008 (the record date for the Rights Offering) received the right to purchase 0.19756 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. These subscription rights expired on September 12, 2008. Pursuant to the terms of the Rights Offering, the Company issued 2,645,395 shares of the Company Common Stock at $5.67 per share.

In December 2006, the Company completed an $18.0 million Rights Offering. Under terms of the Rights Offering, persons who owned shares of the Company’s Common Stock or Series B Stock as of the close of business on November 20, 2006 (the record date for the Rights Offering) received the right to purchase 0.0910 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. These subscription rights expired on December 15, 2006. Pursuant to the terms of the Rights Offering, the Company issued 1,001,342 shares of the Company Common Stock at $17.97 per share.

In December 2001, at the time of issuance of the Series B Stock, a beneficial conversion adjustment was calculated (since the fair market value of a share of Common Stock at the time exceeded the purchase price of a share of Series B Stock) aggregating $4.0 million. The Series B Stock was recorded at the date of issuance net of issuance costs and the beneficial conversion adjustment. The discount attributable to the issuance costs was fully accreted on the date of issuance by charging additional paid-in capital and increasing the recorded amount of Series B Stock. The Series B Stock was accreted to its full redemption value of $23.3 million on a straight line basis from the date of issuance to June 19, 2002 by charging additional paid-in capital $0.7 million per month and increasing the recorded amount of Series B Stock by a like amount.

The Series B Stock accrues dividends at a rate of 7% per annum, is entitled to a preference upon liquidation, and is convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, and similar actions. The Series B Stock generally votes on a one-for-one basis with the Common Stock, subject to adjustment for certain actions and specified matters as to which the Series B Stock is entitled to a separate class vote.

On March 17, 2000, the Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan (the “Rights Plan”). The Rights Plan was intended to assure fair and equal treatment for all of the Company’s stockholders in the event of a hostile takeover attempt.

eLOYALTY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Under the terms of the Rights Plan, each share of the Company’s Common Stock had associated with it ten rights (“Rights”). Each Right entitled the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a share of Series A junior participating preferred stock, without par value, at an exercise price of $160 (subject to adjustment). The Rights became exercisable under certain circumstances: 10 days after the first public announcement that any person (an “acquiring person”) acquired 15% or more of the Company’s Common Stock or the announcement that any person commenced a tender offer for 15% or more of the Company’s Common Stock. On September 24, 2001, the Company amended the Rights Plan in connection with the private placement described above. The amendment provided, among other things, that (i) Technology Crossover Ventures and certain related parties would not have become an “acquiring person” for purposes of the Rights Plan so long as they did not own more than 35% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (determined after giving effect to the conversion of the new Series B Stock), and (ii) Sutter Hill and certain related parties would not have become an “acquiring person” for purposes of the Rights Plan so long as they did not own more than 20% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (determined after giving effect to the conversion of the Series B Stock). On December 27, 2007, the Company amended the Rights Plan to provide that Tench Coxe and various related entities affiliated with Sutter Hill Ventures would not become an “acquiring person” for purposes of the Rights Plan so long as they did not own more than 25% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (determined after giving effect to the conversion of the held Series B Stock). On September 19, 2008, the Company entered into a third amendment to provide that Tench Coxe and various related entities affiliated with Sutter Hill Ventures would not become an “acquiring person” for purposes of the Rights Plan so long as they did not own more than 30% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, including shares of the Company’s Series B Stock.

In general, the Company could have redeemed the Rights in whole, at a price of $0.01 per Right after any person acquired 15% or more of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company’s Board of Directors chose not to renew the Rights Plan and the Rights expired on March 17, 2010.

Note Fourteen—Stock-Based Compensation

The Company issues stock awards under two stock incentive plans: the eLoyalty Corporation 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1999 Plan”) and the eLoyalty Corporation 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2000 Plan”). Under the 1999 Plan and the 2000 Plan, awards of restricted stock or bonus (installment) stock, salary replacement, stock options, stock appreciation rights, and performance shares may be granted to directors, officers, employees, consultants, independent contractors, and agents of the Company and its subsidiaries. Awards granted under the 1999 Plan and 2000 Plan are made at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”). If shares or options awarded under the 1999 Plan and the 2000 Plan are not issued due to cancellation of unvested or unexercised options or shares, then those options or shares again become available for issuance under the plans. Under the 1999 Plan, on the first day of each fiscal year, the aggregate number of shares available for issuance under the 1999 Plan is automatically increased by an amount equal to 5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock that are outstanding. Under the 2000 Plan, the Company originally reserved 280,000 shares of the Company Common Stock for issuance. At the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the 1999 Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the 1999 Plan by 1,500,000. As of January 1, 2011, there were a total of 1,073,834 shares available for future grants under the 1999 Plan, the 2000 Plan, and from treasury stock.

Stock-based compensation expense was $5.3 million, $6.5 million, and $14.8 million for fiscal years ended 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. The Company recognizes stock compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company has established its forfeiture rate based on historical experience. The Company does not recognize the windfall tax benefit related to the excess tax deduction because the Company currently does not anticipate realizing the tax savings associated with this deduction. The amount of this excess tax deduction was $0 for each of fiscal years ended January 1, 2011 and December 26, 2009.

Restricted Stock

Restricted stock awards are shares of eLoyalty Common Stock granted to an individual. During the restriction period, the holder of granted restricted stock receives all of the benefits of ownership (right to dividends, voting rights, etc.), other than the right to sell or otherwise transfer any interest in the stock. Installment stock awards are grants to an individual of a contractual right to receive future shares of eLoyalty Common Stock in specified amounts on specified vesting dates, subject to the individual remaining an eLoyalty employee on the specified vesting dates.

Restricted and installment stock award activity was as follows for the years ended December 27, 2008, December 26, 2009, and January 1, 2011:

Stock options are granted with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company Common Stock on the date of grant, and have a maximum term of 10 years. The stock option terms are set by the Compensation Committee and generally become exercisable over a period of four years. The vesting can begin in equal monthly or quarterly increments over the vesting period. The Company recognized compensation expense related to option awards of $1.2 million, $1.2 million, and $1.0 million for the fiscal years ended 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

As of January 1, 2011, there remains $1.0 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years. The fair value for options granted during fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, was estimated on the date of grant using a Black Scholes option-pricing model. The Company used the following assumptions:

	For the Fiscal Years Ended
	2010			2009			2008
Risk-free interest rates		1.8	%		1.8	%		2.6	%
Expected dividend yield		—			—			—
Expected volatility		68	%		67	%		59	%
Expected lives		6.0 years			6.0 years			6.0 years

Historical Company information is the primary basis for the selection of expected life, expected volatility, and expected dividend yield assumptions. The risk-free interest rate is selected based on the yields from U.S. Treasury Strips with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the options being valued.

Salary Replacement Program

On January 8, 2009, eLoyalty approved the termination of the Salary Replacement Program. Effective February 1, 2009, the Company’s executive officers and other affected employees received their full salaries in cash. The Company no longer reduces cash salaries for periodic grants of unrestricted eLoyalty Common Stock.

The Salary Replacement Program was approved by the Board of Directors in November 2006. Under the program, executives and Vice Presidents exchanged a percentage of their salary for grants of shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The program had an effective date of December 1, 2006 and initially was authorized by the Board of Directors through December 31, 2007. In October 2007, the Board of Directors approved a modification and extended the plan through December 31, 2008. In addition, the program was expanded to include employees at the Senior Principal and Director levels who were based in North America. The salary reduction percentages ranged from 10% to 30%, dependent on salary levels of the impacted executives, Vice Presidents, Senior Principals, and Directors. The percentage of salary paid in stock increased for some of the more highly compensated executives and Vice Presidents. In February 2008, the Board of Directors modified the program and further reduced cash salaries at the executive and Vice President level by 7.5% of gross salary in exchange for an additional 12.5% of salary in the form of additional shares. The salary reduction percentages ranged from 10% to 37.5%, depending on salary levels of the affected executives, Vice Presidents, Senior Principals, and Directors. Subject to quarterly Compensation Committee approval, the Company would issue common stock at fair market value commensurate with the terms of the program. Under the Salary Replacement Program, a total of 736,481 and 131,143 shares were granted during fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Other Stock Compensation

ICS Performance Unit Awards

On November 3, 2009, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of 65,000 performance unit awards to certain employees of the Integrated Contact Solutions Business Unit and on May 5, 2010, the grant of an additional 22,000 performance unit awards was approved. The performance period for the awards began on October 1, 2009 and ends on December 29, 2012. On the last day of the performance period, the performance units granted will become fully vested. Certain events, such as the sale of the Integrated Contact Solutions Business Unit, accelerate the vesting of the performance units. The amount earned, if any, for each vested

D-27

eLOYALTY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

performance unit will vary based on (1) the ultimate value of the Integrated Contact Solutions Business Unit relative to the baseline value and (2) the number of participants receiving performance units (because a fraction of the total increase in Integrated Contact Solutions Business Unit value will fund an incentive pool that is divided among all participants based on the relative number of the performance units held by each participant at the end of the performance period). If the sale of the Integrated Contact Solutions Business Unit closes as proposed, the Company estimates that the amount of the incentive pool under this program would be approximately $0.4 million due to the calculation of the value of the Integrated Contact Solutions Business Unit under the terms of the program relative to a baseline value. The actual amount of the incentive pool will be determined by the Compensation Committee, under the terms of the program, following completion of the sale. Any distribution approved by the Compensation Committee will be settled in shares of eLoyalty Common Stock with the number of shares being determined by dividing the ultimate value of the incentive pool, if any by the 10-day average share price of eLoyalty Common Stock as of the distribution date.

During fiscal years 2010 and 2009, the Company expensed $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for this program. As of January 1, 2011, there is not any unrecognized compensation expense related to the ICS performance units. There are an estimated 66,943 shares of eLoyalty Common Stock potentially issuable with this program as of January 1, 2011.

Director Fees, Commissions, and Bonuses

During fiscal year 2008, the Company granted 394,200 shares to pay director fees, commissions, and bonuses with stock. Beginning in 2009, the Company paid director fees, commissions, and bonuses in cash.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Plan, eligible employees are permitted to purchase shares of eLoyalty Common Stock at below-market prices. The purchase period opens on the first day and ends on the last business day of each calendar quarter. eLoyalty had previously frozen the Plan effective March 31, 2002. During the first half of fiscal year 2007, eLoyalty’s Board of Directors and stockholders approved a proposal to increase the number of shares available under the Plan to 500,000 and subsequently reinstated the Plan effective July 1, 2007.

A total of 39,048 shares and 45,259 shares were issued under the Plan during fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company recorded $0.1 million of expense for the Plan during each of fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008.

Note Sixteen—Segments

Since 2008, the Company has operated in two business segments, the Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit and Integrated Contact Solutions Business Unit. These segments are consistent with the Company’s management of the business and reflect its internal financial reporting structure and operating focus.

The Behavioral Analytics™ Service Business Unit focuses on solutions that improve the reliability of call recording and applies human behavioral modeling to analyze and improve customer interactions and help optimize the performance of call center agents. The Behavioral Analytics™ Service is primarily a managed hosted solution and is delivered as a subscription service. Revenue from follow-on consulting services, deployments, and subscription services as well as marketing application hosting, and email fulfillment services are included in this Business Unit.

The Integrated Contact Solutions Business Unit focuses on helping clients realize the benefits of transitioning their contact centers to a single network infrastructure from the traditional two-network (voice network and separate data network) model. Revenue from Consulting services, Managed services, Product resale, traditional CRM consulting services, and remote application support services are included in this Business Unit.

Management believes that Segment Operating Income/(Loss) Before Stock-Based Compensation, Severance and Related Costs, and Depreciation and Amortization is an appropriate measure of evaluating the operational performance of the Company’s segments. However, this measure should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, income from operations or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with General Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not allocate severance and related costs, depreciation and amortization or other items below the Operating Income/(Loss) level to its business segments. Also, the Company does not track or review asset information, other than capital investments, by reportable segments.

Note Seventeen—Fair Value Measurements

The Company reports certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is an exit price and establishes a three-tier valuation hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The first tier, Level 1, uses quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 uses inputs, other than quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets, which are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 uses unobservable inputs in which there are little or no market data, and requires the entity to develop its own assumptions. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of January 1, 2011 and December 26, 2009:


	Fair Value Measurements at January 1, 2011 Using

During fiscal year 2009, the Company sold its equity securities in a publicly-traded company for $0.3 million. These marketable securities were classified as available for sale and were included in Other current assets on the Company’s balance sheet. Unrealized holding gains and losses were excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income until realized.

Note Eighteen—Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of current assets and liabilities approximated their fair values as of January 1, 2011 and December 26, 2009. The Company considers all highly liquid investments readily convertible into known amounts of cash (with purchased maturities of three months or less) to be cash equivalents.

Note Nineteen—Leases

Capital Leases

The Company acquired $1.4 million and $0.9 million of computer equipment and leasehold improvements using capital leases during fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively. These assets were related primarily to investments in the Company’s Behavioral Analytics^TM Service Line. In 2009 and prior years, the Company was required to issue an irrevocable letter of credit for a portion of the lease amount as additional consideration for the duration of the executed lease agreement. In 2010, newly executed leases do not require an irrevocable letter of credit. There was $1.6 million and $1.4 million of depreciation on capital leases during 2010 and 2009, respectively. All capital leases are for a term of either thirty or thirty-six months. The Company expects capital lease investments to increase between $3.5 million to $4.5 million for fiscal year 2011.

The following is a schedule, by year, of future minimum lease payments under capital leases, together with the present value of the net minimum lease payments as of January 1, 2011:

Operating Leases

The Company leases various office facilities under leases expiring at various dates through February 28, 2015. Additionally, the Company leases various property and office equipment under operating leases, generally under 3 year terms, expiring at various dates. Rental expense for all operating leases approximated $1.6 million, $1.6 million, and $1.9 million, for fiscal years ended 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. These amounts exclude rental payments related to office space reductions, which were $0.1 million, $0.1 million, and $0.1 million in fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008 respectively.

Future minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases with terms in excess of one year are as follows:

Note Twenty—Litigation and Other Contingencies

The Company, from time to time, has been subject to legal claims arising in connection with its business. While the results of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, there are no asserted claims against the Company that, in the opinion of management, if adversely decided, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company is a party to various agreements, including substantially all major services agreements and intellectual property licensing agreements, under which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, indemnification against third-party claims of infringement of intellectual property rights with respect to software and other deliverables provided by the Company in the course of the Company’s engagements. These obligations may be subject to various limitations on the remedies available to the other party, including, without limitation, limits on the amounts recoverable and the time during which claims may be made and may be supported by indemnities given to the Company by applicable third parties. Payment by the Company under these indemnification clauses is generally subject to the other party making a claim that is subject to challenge by the Company and dispute resolution procedures specified in the particular agreement. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to pay any claim for indemnification under its agreements and management is not aware of future indemnification payments that it would be obligated to make.

Under its By-Laws, subject to certain exceptions, the Company has agreed to indemnify its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at its request in such capacity or in certain related capacities. The Company has separate indemnification agreements with each of its directors and officers that requires it, subject to certain exceptions, to indemnify them to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by its By-Laws and the Delaware General Corporation Law. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has a director and officer liability insurance policy that limits its exposure and

enables it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. As a result of its insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. The Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of January 1, 2011.
