TI ceased manufacturing and supporting its process systems products (including the D/3 distributed control system, S/3 supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system and Real-Time Business Control (RTBC) products) in December 1994, when it sold its process systems business, which was based in Hunt Valley, Maryland,  (the “Business”) to GSE Process Solutions (GSE Systems Inc.)  (“GSE”)(1). In connection with GSE’s Year 2000 Compliance Program, GSE has identified that older versions of its products, including products of the Business as conducted by TI, will require modification to work properly through and after the Year 2000.  GSE offers Year 2000 evaluation services to its customers having older systems to determine the scope of work required to correct any problems. GSE has sold a portion of its assets relating to the S/3 SCADA product and other products to Valmet Automation (USA), Inc. (“Valmet”)(2).

Users of process systems products should thoroughly examine them in their environment and take action to remedy any Year 2000 issues. The failure to address these issues could result in system malfunction or failure.

TI also encourages users to consult GSE (internet: http://www.gses.com ; telephone: (410) 772-3500; email: info@gses.com ) or Valmet (internet: http://www.valmet.com ; telephone: (770) 446-7818) for information on these products as well as products sold after the December 1994 divestiture. 

NOTES:
(1) The sale of U.S. assets of the business to GSE closed in 1994. The sale of foreign assets of the business to GSE closed at various times in 1995. 

(2) TI bases its statements concerning GSE activities, including its Year 2000 program, on information from GSE. TI has not undertaken to verify, and assumes no liability for, the accuracy or completeness of this information or the website of GSE or Valmet.
