In addition, in light of market activity and additional strategic options that have recently presented themselves to Finjan, the Board has elected to engage an investment bank to assist the Company in exploring these strategic options.

No decision has been made as to whether the Company will engage in a transaction or transactions and there can be no assurance that the review of strategic business options will result in any transaction, or the terms or timing of any potential transaction. Finjan has retained Atlas Technology Group, LLC as its investment banker for this process.
