Corel's Chief Financial Officer To Leave Company Next Year: Executive Vice

President Of Finance Michael
O'Reilly To Help Manage Transition

Business Editors

OTTAWA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 15, 1999--COREL(NASDAQ:CORL)
(TSE:COR.)

Corel Corporation (NASDAQ: CORL, TSE: COR) President and chief
executive officer Dr. Michael Cowpland announced today that he has
reluctantly accepted a notice of resignation from Michael O'Reilly,
the Company's executive vice president of finance and chief financial
officer.
"Michael O'Reilly has done an outstanding job at managing Corel's
finances and overseeing the streamlining of the Company that put us
back on a profitable track," said Dr. Cowpland. "Michael's positive
impact has been felt throughout Corel and he will be sorely missed."
Mr. O'Reilly will remain with Corel as it searches for a suitable
replacement. Until a replacement is found, Mr. O'Reilly will continue
to direct Corel's financial operations, including the delivery of
Corel's financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and year end
1999.
"It is highly gratifying for me to be able to leave Corel on such
solid footing with new opportunities ahead," said Mr. O'Reilly. "I
will be staying on to ensure a smooth transition to the incoming CFO."
Mr. O'Reilly has not announced his future intentions. Mr.
O'Reilly joined Corel in 1997 after a 21-year career with KPMG, one of
the world's largest international accounting and consulting firms
where he was a senior Tax Partner. Mr. O'Reilly was integral to the
restructuring of Corel and the return to profitability in fiscal Q4
1998 and the recent back-to-back profitable quarters in fiscal Q2 and
Q3 that exceeded analysts' estimates.
