Selectica Announces Process for Completing Transfer of Exchange Shares; Trading Expected to Resume Wednesday,
February 4, 2009

SAN JOSE, CA, January 27, 2009 – Selectica, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLTC) today announced the process for completing the transfer of record ownership of shares of its common stock (the “Exchange Shares”) issued to stockholders in connection with the exchange of each previously outstanding right for one share of its common stock (the “Exchange”). As previously announced, rights held by Versata Enterprises, Inc., Trilogy, Inc. and certain related persons (collectively, “Versata”), were cancelled December 19, 2008, pursuant to the terms of the Selectica’s shareholder rights plan, as amended (the “Rights Plan”). As a result, Versata became an “Acquiring Person” under the Rights Plan and therefore is not eligible to receive Exchange Shares. Also as previously disclosed, the NASDAQ halted trading in the Selectica’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Stock Market on January 5, 2009.

Selectica expects to complete the transfer of Exchange Shares and expects that trading in its common stock will resume on The NASDAQ Global Stock Market on or about February 4, 2009. The transfer will be completed under the procedures developed by Selectica after discussions with, among others, Wells Fargo Shareowner Services (“WFSS”), Selectica’s exchange agent, Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), the depository for stock owned by beneficial owners through brokers, trustees and other nominees that participate in DTC), and Wilmington Trust Company (“WTC”), the trustee appointed by Selectica to facilitate the transfer of Exchange Shares as described below. The transfer procedures are designed to verify the identity of stockholders and ensure that Exchange Shares are not transferred to an Acquiring Person.

Selectica will use different verification procedures for stockholders who hold shares of Selectica in “street name” through a brokerage account, nominee, or trustee that participates in the DTC system (approximately 97.5% of Selectica’s outstanding stock), and for stockholders that hold shares outside of the DTC system. Selectica common stock held outside the DTC system is registered directly in a stockholder’s name with WFSS. Selectica expects that the distribution verification procedures outlined below will be completed by February 3, 2009, and Exchange Shares issued to all stockholders and WTC on February 4, 2009.

Procedures for DTC holders

1.	On January 27, 2009, DTC will electronically notify its participating brokers, who held shares of Selectica common stock at the close of business on January 8, 2009, about the confirmation process.
2.	These DTC participating brokers will be asked to electronically confirm by February 3, 2009, the number of shares of common stock they hold on behalf of clients that are not Acquiring Persons.

3.	On February 4, 2009, WFSS expects to credit Exchange Shares to the accounts of DTC participating brokers that have submitted the electronic confirmation that they do not hold shares on behalf of an Acquiring Person by February 3, 2009.
4.	On February 4, 2009, WFSS expects to transfer Exchange Shares that have not been credited to the accounts of DTC participating brokers, to WTC, as trustee, pending receipt of the required certification by the DTC participating brokers. Selectica expects to disclose instructions for transferring record ownership of those Exchange Shares from the trust to beneficial owners before February 4, 2009.

Procedures for non-DTC holders

1.	Beginning January 28, 2009, stockholders who are directly registered with WFSS will be asked to certify that they are not an Acquiring Person, unless Selectica is able to determine that they are in fact not an Acquiring Person.
2.	On February 4, 2009, WFSS expects to credit Exchange Shares to the accounts of those directly registered stockholders that have been identified by Selectica as not being an Acquiring Person.
3.	On February 4, 2009, WFSS expects to transfer Exchange Shares that have not been credited to the accounts of registered holders, to WTC, as trustee, pending receipt of the required certification by Selectica. Instructions for transferring record ownership of those Exchange Shares from the trust to beneficial owners will be disclosed in the future.
