COREL PRESS RELEASE

For Immediate Release

Corel and Inprise/Borland terminate proposed merger agreement

Ottawa, Canada - May 16, 2000 - Corel Corporation (NASDAQ: CORL, TSE: COR) today announced that its merger agreement with Inprise/Borland has been terminated by mutual agreement of the two companies without payment of any termination fees. The reciprocal stock option agreements have also been terminated. In anticipation of the merger agreement, Corel and Inprise/Borland entered into a confidentiality agreement that included a standard three-year standstill covenant. That agreement remains in effect.

Because of significant changes since the merger was agreed to more than three months ago, Corel has concluded that it is in its best interest to terminate the agreement at this time. Corel and Inprise/Borland are parting on amicable terms and will continue to pursue opportunities for ongoing partnerships.

"Although we are disappointed the merger didn't proceed as planned, it hasn't changed our strategic focus," said Dr. Michael Cowpland, president and chief executive officer of Corel Corporation. "Together with our industry partners, we will continue to deliver open-standard, cross-compatible, multiple platform solutions that will increasingly leverage the power of the Web."

Corel disclosed in its most recent quarterly filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission its then current expectations for its financial results and its cash position for the following two quarters in the event the merger did not occur, other sources of financing were not secured, and/or its results of operations did not improve. With the termination of the merger agreement, Corel is now able to fully evaluate offers of alternative financing it has recently received. Corel is also completing plans to re-align its cost structure to support current revenue expectations and its long-term strategic goals. With this plan, Corel expects to achieve cost-savings of approximately US $40 million on an annualized basis.

Officials from Corel will hold a teleconference today at 10:30 a.m. (EST) to provide further information to media, industry and financial analysts on this recent development and Corel's plans to address its financial position.
