Selectica Receives Nasdaq Letter of Reprimand

Selectica, Inc. (Nasdaq:SLTC), a leading provider of enterprise contract lifecycle management and sales configuration solutions, today announced that it received a letter of reprimand from the Listing Qualifications Staff of the NASDAQ Stock Market for non-compliance with the independent audit, nominating and compensation committee requirements set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605 and failure to notify Nasdaq of non-compliance with the listing rules, as required by Listing Rule 5625. The Staff notified the company that it has completed its review and deemed it appropriate to close the matter, based in part upon the prompt corrective actions taken by the company after discovering the compliance issues.

On July 9, 2009 Selectica announced in its Form 10-K that in early 2009, Selectica’s Board of Directors reviewed its governance policies and practices, including the roles and compensation of Mr. Thanos and Ms. Zawatski. The Board concluded that their responsibilities as Co-Chairs of the Board had evolved to the point that collectively they were acting in the capacity of Chief Executive Officer, and were no longer independent directors within the meaning of applicable rules of The Nasdaq Global Market. As a result, Mr. Thanos and Ms. Zawatski immediately resigned from the audit, compensation and nominating committees of the Board.

The Listing Qualifications Department determined that the failures did not appear to have been deliberate and that there is no pattern of non-compliance. The Listing Qualifications Department concluded that the Company inadvertently violated the Marketplace Rules.
