On the evening of June 15, 2009, Company E, who had previously submitted to the Company a nonbinding proposal for the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of the Company for cash at $1.20 per share (as described in the Preliminary Proxy Statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1, 2009 (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”)), advised the Company’s financial advisor that Company E was withdrawing its proposal and no longer intended to make a definitive acquisition proposal to acquire the Company. The Company promptly advised Micro Focus of this development as required under the Merger Agreement. The Company is continuing to comply with its obligations under the Merger Agreement.
Important Additional Information:
All parties desiring details regarding the transaction are urged to review the definitive agreement, which is available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov as an attachment to the Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed by Borland on June 1, 2009, together with the Amendment filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K. In connection with the proposed transaction, the Company plans to file a Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A with the Securities and Exchange Commission. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE ADVISED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT AND OTHER FILED DOCUMENTS CAREFULLY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION. Shareholders will be able to obtain a free-of-charge copy of the proxy statement (when available) and other relevant documents filed with the SEC from the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Shareholders will also be able to obtain a free-of-charge copy of the proxy statement and other relevant documents (when available) by directing a request by mail or telephone to Borland, 8310 North Capital of Texas Highway, Building 2 Suite 100, Austin, TX 78731, Attention: Investor Relations, Telephone: (512) 340-1364, or from the Company’s website, http://www.borland.com.

Information regarding the Company’s directors and executive officers is contained in the Company’s annual proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 8, 2009 and the Preliminary Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on June 1, 2009.
