Autodesk to Acquire Revit Technology Corporation; Acquisition Adds Complementary Technology for Building Industry

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. and WALTHAM, Mass., Feb 21, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Autodesk, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSK), the leading design software and digital content company, today announced its intention to acquire Revit Technology Corporation, a Massachusetts-based developer of parametric building technology for building design, construction, and management, for $133 million cash. The addition of Revit software complements Autodesk’s existing family of building industry applications with a parametric building modeler for customers to design, coordinate, and integrate information about an entire building. The closing of the acquisition is subject to governmental and shareholder approvals.

“The acquisition will extend our reach to new customers while expanding our existing building industry business,” said Carol Bartz, Autodesk chairman and CEO. “Our product line will offer the best drafting and model-based design capabilities on the market, ultimately helping designers, builders, and owners better track and manage their building assets.”  Deal closed April 1, 2001.
