Abstract As GX 339-4 has started to leave the Low/Hard State (ATel #2545), we triggered the 2nd part of our INTEGRAL campaign on GX 339-4 in the declining phase of the hard X-ray band, as well as contemporaneous Swift observations. The source was observed by INTEGRAL for 158 ks between April 15 (01:57 UTC) and 17 (01:04 UTC), while Swift observed it four times 2 ks during that period (program #30943). During the same period, RXTE observed the source two times, 528 and 672 s (program #95409), plus once before (976 s) and once after the INTEGRAL campaign (1744 s), respectively.
