INTRODUCTION
 
This Amendment No. 10 (this “Amendment”) to the Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 13e-3 thereunder by Corel Holdings, L.P., Vector Capital Partners II International, Ltd., Amish Mehta and Alexander Slusky (collectively, the “Filing Persons”).
 
This Amendment amends and supplements the Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement initially filed under cover of Schedule TO on October 28, 2009 (as amended and/or supplemented, the “Transaction Statement”) by Corel Holdings, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership (the “Purchaser”).  The Transaction Statement relates to the offer by the Purchaser to purchase all outstanding common shares, no par value (the “Shares”), of Corel Corporation, a Canadian corporation (the “Company”), not owned by Purchaser and its affiliates, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended and Restated Offer to Purchase, dated November 16, 2009.
 
This Amendment relates to the consolidation (the “Consolidation”) contemplated by the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed on December 29, 2009.  The Consolidation is the second and final step in the Purchaser’s acquisition of the Company.
 
On January 26, 2010, at the special meeting of shareholders of the Company, the shareholders approved the special resolution authorizing the Consolidation.  At the effective time of the Consolidation, Shares were consolidated on the basis of every 871,589 Shares into one (1) new Share (“New Common Share”).  Fractional New Common Shares were not issued.  Shareholders who did not hold sufficient Shares to qualify for the issuance of New Common Shares pursuant to the Consolidation are entitled to receive cash consideration equal to the consideration paid under the tender offer, or U.S. $4.00, in respect of each pre-Consolidation Share held in lieu of any fractional shares otherwise issuable as a result of the Consolidation.  As a result of the Consolidation, the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser.
 
The Company’s Shares will be delisted from the NASDAQ stock market and the Toronto Stock Exchange promptly following the Consolidation, and thereafter the Company will cease to be a reporting issuer under Canadian law and its reporting obligations under U.S. securities laws will be suspended.
 
On January 26, 2010, the Company and Vector Capital Partners II International, Ltd. entered into mutual releases with each of Dan Ciporin, Steven Cohen and Barry Tissenbaum (collectively, the “Designated Directors”) pursuant to which each of the Company and Vector Capital Partners II International, Ltd. released the Designated Directors from any and all claims they may have against the Designated Directors arising from their service as directors (excluding, in the case of Barry Tissenbaum, claims relating to services performed after the date of the release), and the Designated Directors released the Company and Vector Capital Partners II International, Ltd. from any claims they may have arising from their service as directors other than the compensation they were otherwise entitled to as directors of the Company (excluding, in the case of Barry Tissenbaum, claims relating to services performed after the date of the release).  Also on January 26, 2010, each of the directors of the Company entered into mutual releases among and between such directors pursuant to which each such director released the other directors from any and all claims they may have arising from their service as directors.

OTTAWA, Canada, January 26, 2010 -- Corel Corporation (NASDAQ:CREL; TSX:CRE, “Corel”) announced today that the shareholders of Corel approved its previously announced stock consolidation. The consolidation represented the second and final step in the acquisition of Corel by Corel Holdings, L.P., a limited partnership controlled by an affiliate of Vector Capital. Following approval of the Consolidation, Corel filed articles of amendment to effect the consolidation with the result that Corel is now wholly-owned by Corel Holdings, L.P. and its affiliates.

Shareholders other than Corel Holdings, L.P. and its affiliates will receive cash consideration of U.S.$4.00 in respect of each pre-consolidation share held by such holder.

Corel’s common shares will be delisted from the NASDAQ stock market and the Toronto Stock Exchange promptly following the consolidation, and thereafter Corel will cease to be a reporting issuer under Canadian law and its reporting obligations under U.S. securities laws will be suspended.

Further information about the consolidation and how shareholders may receive the cash consideration for their pre-consolidation shares is available in Corel’s proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Canadian securities regulatory authorities on December 29, 2009.
