Viador Privatization Update

Sunnyvale, Calif., March 12, 2003. The Special Shareholder Meeting for the Viador Go Private Transaction will be at Viador Headquarters on Monday March 17th, 2003, at 11AM. Proxy Statements were mailed starting February 14th, 2003. I have heard of two cases where the shareholder did not receive the Proxy, and where a brokerage house held the shares for the shareholder. I have followed up and ensured that all documents were mailed correctly up to the distribution point for brokers, specifically Shareholder Services. After that, it is out of Vidor's hands. So if you still do not have the Proxy materials, contact your broker as quickly as possible. If you receive your proxy at the very last minute and still wish to vote, please sign and fax to Viador, c/o Paul Vilandré, at 408-735 8926, and then mail the Proxy as directed.

Some have questioned what happens after the Shareholder Vote. Assuming Viador receives shareholder approval, what happens next is outlined on page 4 and page 69 of the Proxy Statement. (1) If you have shares held directly in your name, you will be contacted directly by our Disbursement Trustee, US Stock Transfer Corporation within five days, with instructions on receiving payment, returning share certificates, or lost share certificate handling. You will be required to return your instructions to US Stock Transfer, who will then forward payment. (2) If you have shares held by your broker, the DTC (Depository Trust Company) acts as holding company for most broker houses and US Stock sends DTC moneys for redemption via your broker for your Viador Shares.
