Corel Corporation (NASDAQ:CREL; TSX:CRE) today announced that the directors mandated by its Board of Directors to act as the Board with respect to all matters related to a possible transaction with Vector Capital, the general partner of Corel Holdings, L.P. (“CHLP”) will cause Corel to file its initial solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 today with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as well as with the Canadian Securities Administrators in connection with its evaluation of the unsolicited tender offer commenced by CHLP on October 28, 2009 (the “Offer”).

As will be stated in the Schedule 14D-9, the Board is unable to take a position with respect to the Offer at the present time because they have not had the opportunity to complete their evaluation of the increase in the Offer price per common share that Vector advised them of late last night. The Board intends to complete their evaluation of the revised Offer with their financial and legal advisors and will in the near future, on behalf of Corel: (i) recommend acceptance or rejection of the Offer; (ii) express no opinion and remain neutral toward the Offer; or (iii) state that it is unable to take a position with respect to the Offer.

Shareholders are urged to review Corel’s Schedule 14D-9, which is being filed today with the SEC and contains additional information, including information concerning the background of the offer and this recommendation. The Schedule 14D-9 will be available on Corel’s website, http://investor.corel.com or on the website maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov, and the website maintained by the Canadian Securities Administrators at www.sedar.com. Shareholders may also obtain copies of the Schedule 14D-9, without charge, upon request to Catherine Hughes, 613-728-0826 x1659, or catherine.hughes@corel.com.

The directors mandated to act as the Board with respect to this matter are Daniel T. Ciporin, Steven Cohen and Barry A. Tissenbaum. The Board has retained Genuity Capital Markets as its financial advisor and Bennett Jones LLP and Kaye Scholer LLP as its legal advisors. Corel has retained Woodside Counsel, P.C. as a legal advisor.
