Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

     On April 1, 2005, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Art Technology Group, Inc. (the Company), having the appropriate level of authority, committed the Company to effect further facilities consolidation.

     The company has relocated its San Francisco office and reduced the amount of space that it now occupies in San Francisco. As a result of this action and other minor facilities charges, the Company anticipates that it will incur a restructuring charge in the second quarter of 2005 in the range of $1.5 to $2.0 million. Of this amount, approximately $1.2 million will be non-cash related. The relocation will result in an aggregate net cash savings of approximately $400,000 through the end of 2007. Beginning in the third quarter of 2005, these actions will reduce the Company’s annual operating expenses by approximately $700,000 to $800,000 through the end of 2007.

     The facilities consolidation reflects management’s judgment that the space to be vacated is not needed in order to efficiently run the Company’s operations. These ranges are our management’s best estimates based on currently available information and are subject to change.
