After payment for the deposited shares, Telelogic AB will own approximately 84.6% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Continuus Software Corporation common stock. Telelogic AB also announced today that it will provide a subsequent offering period of five business days for the Continuus Software Corporation tender offer, which begins today at 9:00 a.m. EST and expires at 5:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, December 5, 2000. During this subsequent offering period, shares of Continuus Software Corporation common stock will be accepted and promptly paid for as they are tendered. The same price paid during the initial offering is extended through the subsequent offering period: $3.46 per share, net to the seller in cash. Shares that are tendered during the subsequent offering period may not be withdrawn. Following the subsequent offering period, Telelogic intends to acquire the shares of Continuus Software Corporation that have not been tendered through a merger transaction in which the remaining shareholders of Continuus Software Corporation would receive the same amount of cash per share that they would have received in the offer, unless they perfect dissenters' rights. Therefore, for shareholders who do not perfect dissenters' rights, the only difference between tendering shares and not tendering shares is that shareholders who tender their shares prior to the expiration date of the subsequent offering period will be paid earlier.
