Why Is Vector Taking Corel Private?

1    Company needs an equity injection to fund operations and to avoid breaching
     debt covenants

2    Need to refocus product initiatives to reflect geographic and economic
     realities

3    Ability to do add-on M and A as a public company is constrained by lack of
     cash, the illiquidity of Corel's shares and Corel's low equity valuation

4    Employee and management retention has proven difficult as a public company
     with a low stock price



VECTOR CAPITAL                                                                 4

VECTOR CAPITAL                                                                 5
 
 

 
 


With Vector's Active Support, Corel has Tried Everything to Maximize Shareholder
Value

Operational Improvement

o   Expanded sales to new geographies
o   Expanded global sales channels
o   Launched new products
o   Hired new management team
o   Implemented new employee incentive plan
o   Reduced expenses by over $40M in response to the global recession

o   Ran process for sale of significant divisions - approached 28 individual

VECTOR CAPITAL                                                                 6

Corel's Dangerously Low Cash Balance is Not Easily Fixed


1  Covenants on existing debt prohibit raising additional debt even if it were
   available

2  Vector's ability to invest additional cash is constrained as long as Corel
   remains public

3  Raising equity from third parties, if possible, would be highly dilutive tO
   common shareholders

4  No assets can be sold fast enough that are large enough to make a difference

VECTOR CAPITAL                                                                11
 
 

 
 


Corel is Already 'Skimming the Bottom' on Debt Covenants

Analyst ratings:

o S&P cuts Corel rating from B to B- on 10/30/09

o S&P revised outlook on Corel from 'Stable' to 'Negative' on 10/5/09

o Moody's revised outlook on Corel from 'Positive' to 'Stable' on 7/30/09





Corel has already come dangerously close to breaching covenants and will breach
covenants in Q409 absent paydown or other cure


*Historical coverage ratios are derived from publicly available financial
statements and Corel's credit facility, all of which have been filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission

VECTOR CAPITAL                                                                12
 
 

 
 


We Believe Corel is at Serious Risk of Violating Covenants in Q1 2010


o    We believe Corel is at serious risk of violating covenants in Q1 2010,
     even in the best of scenarios. This risk will be exacerbated with any of
     the following:

     -    Continued deterioration in operating performance

     -    Expense associated with pending or future litigation

     -    Company restructuring costs

     -    Transaction costs associated with strategic alternatives review

     -    Necessary increases in capital expenditures

VECTOR CAPITAL                                                                13
 
 

 
 


We Believe a Sale to Vector Capital is Better than Possible Alternatives
Available to Corel

Possible Alternatives             Pros / cons

1 Wait for operating performance  o  Unlikely to work based on management's
  to recover
                                     financial forecast
                                  o  Unacceptable cost of failure


2 Amend debt covenants            o  Expensive to improve covenants
                                  o  No certainty of success
                                  o  Cash balance will remain dangerously low


3 Sale to another party           o  Prior efforts demonstrate lack of serious
                                     interest
                                  o  Current product portfolio is unappealing
                                     to strategics
                                  o  Financial buyers cannot procure debt

>    We are willing to bear the risks facing Corel while offering shareholders
     a fair price and liquidity otherwise not realizable
