Hello,

Beberapa waktu lalu sempat ramai di milist opensuse mengenai penawaran
akuisisi saham Novell oleh Elliott Associates.
Banyak pihak yang takut kalau Novell beralih pemegang saham akan
berakibat kepada pengembangan openSUSE.
Barusan saya dapat email resmi dari Novell, kalau Novell menolak
penawaran tersebut.

salam,

Dear Valued Partner,

As you may know, on March 2nd, Elliott Associates, L.P. announced an
unsolicited, conditional proposal to acquire Novell. Today we issued a
press release
http://app.mktg.novell.com/e/er.aspx?s=1163&lid=2155&elq=8f603af15370460f88f2e4428934f5aa
announcing that our Board of Directors has concluded, after careful
consideration, including a review of the proposal with its independent
financial and legal advisors, that Elliott's proposal is inadequate and
that it undervalues the Company's franchise and growth prospects.

Additionally, we announced that our Board has authorized a thorough review
of various alternatives to enhance stockholder value.

Our relationship with you is extremely important to all of us at Novell,
and I want to assure you that you can remain confident that we are
committed to serving you as we always have. I also want to reaffirm to you
that it remains business as usual at Novell, and we do not intend for
there to be any changes in our relationship with you. Please do not
hesitate to contact me or other members of our team at any time; we always
strive to be available to provide you the best solutions for your needs.

On behalf of the Board and management team, I thank you for your ongoing
commitment to Novell.

Sincerely,

Ron Hovsepian
President and CEO
