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.
