Selectica, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLTC) today announced that trading in its
common stock is expected to resume on the Nasdaq Global Stock Market
following the previously announced exchange of the Company’s outstanding
stock purchase rights for common shares (the "Exchange Shares”). Further
information regarding the resumption of trading of Selectica’s stock can
be found on NASDAQ’s website at http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/Trader.aspx?id=TradeHalts.
Rights held by Versata Enterprises, Inc., Trilogy, Inc. and certain
related persons (collectively, "Versata”), were cancelled December 19,
2008, pursuant to the terms of the Rights Plan. As a result, Versata
became an "Acquiring Person” under the Rights Plan and therefore is not
eligible to receive Exchange Shares. All other stockholders that are not
"Acquiring Persons” are eligible to receive Exchange Shares.
On February 4, Selectica’s stock transfer agent, Wells Fargo Shareowner
Services ("WFSS”), credited 25,373,007 Exchange Shares to the accounts
of Depository Trust Company ("DTC”) participants that certified that
they did not hold Selectica common stock on behalf of an "Acquiring
Person.” WFSS also transferred 669,373 Exchange Shares to directly
registered stockholders that have been identified by Selectica as not
being an "Acquiring Person”. Direct Registration Statements with respect
to these shares will be mailed to stockholders by WFSS.
Also on February 4, WFSS transferred 767,125 Exchange Shares to
Wilmington Trust Company ("WTC”), in its capacity as trustee (the
"Trustee”) for the 2009 Selectica Exchange Trust (the "Trust”), to hold
for the benefit of eligible stockholders whose brokers did not provide
the required certification to DTC by February 3, 2009. Eligible
shareholders of record will receive their Exchange Shares from the Trust
upon written certification to the Trustee that they are not nor are
affiliated with an "Acquiring Person.” The required certification and
instructions are available by contacting Jeanne Oller at WTC at (302)
636-6188 or by visiting the investor relations section of Selectica’s
web site at www.selectica.com.
Based on its most recently available information, Selectica had
approximately 28.7 million shares of common stock outstanding before the
Exchange, including approximately 1.9 million shares beneficially owned
by Versata. Following the Exchange, Selectica has approximately 55.5
million shares of common stock outstanding, including those shares held
by the Trust.
