*"Update on the Developer Tools Group Divestiture*

"Borland announced on February 8, 2006 the intention to divest its
Integrated Developer Environment (IDE) product lines. Nigel Brown,
previously vice president of Borland EMEA, has been appointed general
manager of Borland's internally formed Developer Tools Group. This group now
consists of approximately 180 Borland employees, with sales, marketing and
product teams working independently within the Company. The divesture
process is proceeding according to schedule and attracting a strong number
of qualified bidders. Borland is working to have a buyer identified within
the next several months.

. . .
"Borland will reduce its workforce by approximately 300 employees, or about
20 percent of its regular full-time staff. *The majority of staff reductions
will come from the re-scoping of Borland's international operations*.
 . . .
"The majority of Borland's planned workforce reductions are part of a plan
to re-scope its international operations, which currently serves 29
countries. Going forward, Borland will focus on enhancing its existing
direct sales model in major IT markets, supporting customers in secondary
markets through a mix of direct, partner and channel relationships. Borland
expects to complete this reduction in workforce by the end of July 2006.
