MLE as a function of a sufficient statistic; invariance

Consider the following statements:

I. If a sufficient statistic tt for θ\theta exists, then the maximum likelihood estimator will be a function of the sufficient statistic tt.

II. If θ^\hat\theta is the maximum likelihood estimator of θ\theta, then θ^1+θ^\dfrac{\hat\theta}{1+\hat\theta} is the maximum likelihood estimator of θ1−θ\dfrac\theta{1-\theta}.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
