5 EX-99 2 PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE COMPANY JULY 19, 1999 1 Exhibit 99 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Gary Rhea Chief Financial Officer Versant Corporation (510) 789-1500 grhea@versant.com VERSANT COMMON STOCK TO BE LISTED ON NASDAQ SMALLCAP MARKET FREMONT, CALIF., JULY 19, 1999 - Versant Corporation announced today that its common stock will be listed on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market via an exception from the net tangible assets requirement. Versant failed to meet the net tangible asset requirement as of March 31, 1999 and has been granted a temporary exception from this standard subject to Versant meeting certain conditions. The exception will expire on August 16, 1999. Versant's recently announced equity infusion of $6.3 million should facilitate the satisfaction of these conditions. In the event Versant is deemed to have met the terms of the exception, it will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Although Versant believes that it will satisfy these conditions, there can be no assurance that it has done so until requisite SEC reports are filed and are deemed acceptable by Nasdaq. For the duration of the exception, the Versant's Nasdaq symbol will be VSNTC. Versant will request a review of the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel decision to delist it from the Nasdaq National Market.
