                                  INTRODUCTION
 
    This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxies are being furnished to
stockholders of Communication Intelligence Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of
Directors for the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held at the
Hotel Sofitel, 223 Twin Dolphin Drive, Redwood Shores, California 94065, on June
1, 1998, at 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time, and any and all adjournments thereof (the
"Annual Meeting").
 
    At the Annual Meeting, stockholders of the Company as of the close of
business on April 8, 1998 (the "Record Date") will be asked to consider and vote
upon the following: (i) the election of seven directors to serve until their
respective successors are duly elected and qualified (Proposal 1); (ii) an
amendment to the Company's Certificate of Designations relating to its first
series of 5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred
Stock") to cause the dividend and liquidation rights with respect thereto to be
PARI PASSU with the Company's Series B 5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
(the "Series B Preferred Stock") (Proposal 2); (iii) an amendment to the
Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the
number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock (Proposal 3); and (iv)
the ratification of the appointment of Price Waterhouse LLP as the Company's
independent accountants for the year ending December 31, 1998 (Proposal 4). This
Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxies, together with a copy of the
Company's Annual Report to Stockholders, are first being mailed or delivered to
stockholders of the Company on or about April       , 1998.
 
    Representatives of Price Waterhouse LLP are expected to be present at the
Annual Meeting and will be given the opportunity to address the stockholders if
they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
 
    WHETHER OR NOT YOU ATTEND THE ANNUAL MEETING, YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT.
ACCORDINGLY, YOU ARE ASKED TO SIGN AND RETURN EACH APPLICABLE PROXY, REGARDLESS
OF THE NUMBER OF SHARES YOU OWN. IF YOU OWN MORE THAN ONE CLASS OF STOCK, PLEASE
COMPLETE A PROXY FOR EACH SUCH CLASS. SHARES CAN BE VOTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING
ONLY IF THE HOLDER IS REPRESENTED BY PROXY OR IS PRESENT.
 
                               VOTING SECURITIES
 
    As of April 8, 1998 (the "Record Date"), the Company had outstanding
48,544,491 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common
Stock"), 295,533 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 240,000 shares of Series
B Preferred Stock. Each holder of outstanding shares of Common Stock, Series A
Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock as of the Record Date is entitled to
one vote per share on all matters to come before the Annual Meeting. Holders of
outstanding shares of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series B
Preferred Stock as of the Record Date (collectively, the "Shares") will vote as
one class on the proposals presented at the Annual Meeting. In addition, holders
of outstanding shares of Common Stock will vote separately as a class on
Proposal 3. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record
Date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting.
<PAGE>
    Approval of Proposal 1 to elect seven directors requires the affirmative
vote of a plurality of the Shares represented in person or by proxy at the
Annual Meeting. Approval of Proposal 2 to amend the Company's Certificate of
Designations and Proposal 3 to amend the Company's Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation requires, in each case, the affirmative vote of
holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares. Approval of Proposal 2 to amend
the Company's Certificate of Designations also requires the affirmative vote of
holders of seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock (which the Company obtained in November of 1997). Approval of
Proposal 3 to amend the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation also requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock. Proposal 4 to ratify the appointment of
Price Waterhouse LLP as the Company's independent accountants for the year
ending December 31, 1998 requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority
of the Shares represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting.
 
    Each enclosed proxy provides that a stockholder who holds shares of a class
of the Company's capital stock as of the Record Date may specify that his or her
shares of that class be voted "for," "against" or "abstain" from voting with
respect to each of the proposals presented at the Annual Meeting. (A separate
proxy is included for each class of stock.) If an enclosed proxy is properly
executed, duly returned to the Company in time for the Annual Meeting and not
revoked, your shares will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained
thereon. Where a signed proxy is returned and no specific instructions are
indicated, your shares represented thereby will be voted FOR each of the
proposals.
 
    Proxies marked as abstaining will be treated as present for the purpose of
determining whether there is a quorum for the Annual Meeting, but will not be
counted as voting in respect of any matter as to which abstinence is indicated.
Thus, an abstaining vote in the election of directors will have no legal effect
on the outcome, however, an abstention as to any other matter will have the same
legal effect as a vote against such matter. Proxies returned by brokers as
"non-votes" on behalf of shares held in street name because discretion has been
withheld as to one or more matters on the agenda for the Annual Meeting will not
be treated as present for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum for
the Annual Meeting unless the broker is given discretion to vote on at least one
matter on the agenda.
 
    Any stockholder who executes and returns a proxy may revoke it in writing at
any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by: (i) filing with the
Secretary of the Company, at the above address, written notice of such
revocation bearing a later date than the proxy or a subsequent proxy relating to
the same shares; or (ii) attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person
(although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute
revocation of a proxy).
 
    Each enclosed proxy gives discretionary authority to the persons named
therein with respect to any amendments or modifications of the Company proposals
and any other matters which may be proposed properly at the Annual Meeting. As
of the date hereof, the Company is not aware of any such amendment or
modification or other matter to be presented for action at the Annual Meeting.
However, if any other matter properly comes before the Annual Meeting, the
proxies solicited hereby will be exercised in accordance with the reasonable
judgment of the proxyholders named therein.

                 COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTION COMMITTEE REPORT
 
    The Compensation Committee and Stock Option Committee have provided the
following Report.
 
    COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES.  The Committees' compensation
philosophy is based upon the belief that the success of the Company results from
the coordinated efforts of all employees working as a team to achieve objectives
of providing superior products and services to the Company's customers and
maximizing the Company's value for the benefit of its stockholders.
 
    The Company's compensation programs are designed to attract, retain and
reward personnel whose individual and team performance contributes significantly
to the short and long-term objectives of the Company. The Company's executive
compensation programs are guided by the following principles, which may also be
considered in making compensation decisions for employees:
 
    - To ensure competitiveness, the Company monitors industry standards and
      considers this information when it makes compensation decisions.
 
    - The compensation of executive officers is affected by individual, team and
      overall Company performance. Overall Company performance is based upon
      achievement of strategic and operating goals. Such factors include
      revenues generated, technology validations, timely product introductions,
      capturing market share and preservation of and increases in stockholder
      value. Individual and team performance is considered to the extent of
      whether departmental goals are achieved within the time and budget
      constraints of Company operating plans. Additionally, individual
      performance is measured, in part, against the extent to which an
      individual executive officer is able to foster team spirit and loyalty and
      minimize employee turnover.
 
    METHODS OF COMPENSATION.  The key elements of the Company's executive
compensation program consist primarily of base salary and stock options. Base
salary for the Company's executive officers is generally determined by
performance, the combined base salary and annual bonus for competitive positions
in the industry and general market and Company conditions. Currently, the
Company does not have an annual bonus plan. The Committees believe that the use
of stock options as a means of compensation provide an incentive for executives
and align their interests with those of the stockholders. All employees are
eligible to receive stock options under the Company's stock option plans.
Options are granted by the Company's Stock Option Committee upon recommendations
by management.
 
    PRESIDENT'S COMPENSATION.  Mr. Guido DiGregorio, the President of the
Company, was appointed by the Board of Directors in November 1997. The
President's compensation was determined after consideration of the same
principles and factors used in the determination of compensation for the other
executive officers of the Company. Mr. DiGregorio currently receives an annual
salary of $180,000. In November 1997, Mr. DiGregorio received options to
purchase 600,000 shares of Common Stock at the exercise price of $1.59 per share
in connection with his appointment. The Company does not currently have an
employment agreement with Mr. DiGregorio.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
 
    In November 1997, Philip S. Sassower, who serves as a member of the
Company's Compensation and Stock Option Committees, was appointed as the

<PAGE>
expenses from the Company in 1997 for his consulting services. See "Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions." No other executive officer is a member
of the Compensation or Stock Option Committees.
 
COMPENSATION AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
 
    The Company does not currently have a written employment agreement with
James Dao. However, on August 1, 1988, the Company's Board of Directors passed a
resolution approving a payment to Mr. Dao upon on his termination by the Board
of Directors (the "Termination Payment"), the majority of the members of which
was to change after August 2, 1988. The Termination Payment shall be equal to
299% of the average of his annual salary for the five taxable years ending prior
to such termination. The Termination Payment is to be made in an undetermined
number of equal monthly installments.
 
                               PERFORMANCE GRAPH
 
    The Securities and Exchange Commission requires the Company to include in
this Proxy Statement a graph comparing the Company's cumulative five-year return

                 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
    PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS.  In January 1997, CIC Standby Ventures, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership ("Standby Ventures") of which Mr. Philip Sassower,
the Company's Co-Chief Executive Officer, is the general partner, exercised in
full the following warrants: (i) warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of Common
Stock with an exercise price of $0.50 per share (the "Note Warrants"); and (ii)
warrants to purchase 1,563,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of
$1.00 per share (the "Bridge Warrants"). The Note Warrants and the Bridge
Warrants were issued by the Company in 1994 and 1995, respectively, pursuant to
financings provided to the Company by Standby Ventures and its sole general
partner (Mr. Philip Sassower). Pursuant to such warrant exercises, Standby
Ventures received an aggregate of 2,759,000 shares of Common Stock under the
cashless exercise provisions contained in the warrants. Philip Sassower,
Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Company's Board of the Directors, is
the sole general partner of Standby Ventures. As of April 8, 1998, Standby
Ventures beneficially owned approximately 18.5% of the Company's outstanding
Common Stock.
 
    DIRECTORS, DIRECTOR NOMINEES AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.  In January 1996, the
Company retained Mr. Philip Sassower, a member of the Board of Directors, as a
financial consultant for financial and investor relations matters. Pursuant to
such consulting arrangement, Mr. Sassower was paid an aggregate of $100,000 in
1996 by the Company. In 1997, Mr. Sassower became Chairman of the Company's
Executive Committee and Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company and increased
his time commitments to the Company. To compensate Mr. Sassower for his
additional time commitments and to reimburse him for certain office expenses,
the Company increased the consulting fees to be paid to Mr. Sassower for 1997 to
$150,000.
 
    In November 1997, Mr. Sassower and the Philip S. Sassower 1996 Charitable
Remainder Annuity Trust purchased an aggregate of 24,070 and 16,000 shares of
Series B Preferred Stock, respectively, pursuant to the Company's private
placement, for an aggregate purchase price of $601,750 and $400,000,
respectively.
 
    In April 1994, the Company loaned $210,000 to Mr. James Dao, the Company's
Chairman of the Board and Co-Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to a promissory
note due April 1, 1996 which bore interest at the highest marginal rate
applicable to the Company's borrowing or the highest rate allowable by law,
whichever is lower. In 1996, the due date of the promissory note was extended to
April 1, 1998. As of March 25, 1998, the promissory note bore interest at 10%
per annum and the outstanding principal and accrued interest due on the
promissory note was $270,000. The promissory note is secured by 103,450 shares
of Common Stock owned by Mr. Dao.
 
    Jess Ravich, a director nominee, is the Chairman of the Board and CEO of
Libra Investments, Inc. ("Libra"). Libra has acted as the Company's placement
agent for the private placement of 450,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in
December 1996 and, in connection therewith, the Company paid Libra an aggregate
of $675,000 in commissions and issued to Libra (or its designees) five-year
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 337,500 shares of Common Stock (subject to
adjustments), with an exercise price of $2.50 per share. The Ravich Revocable
Trust of 1989 was one of Libra's designees in the December 1996 private
placement, and received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 154,750 shares of
Common Stock (subject to adjustments) out of the total number of warrants issued
to Libra. Libra also acted as the Company's placement agent for the private
placements of 5.5 million shares of Common Stock (at a price of $2.00 per share)
in November 1995 and 600,000 shares of Common Stock (at a price of $4.50 per

private placements, the Company paid Libra an aggregate of $610,000 in
commissions and issued to Libra (or its designees) five-year warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 267,500 shares of Common Stock (subject to
adjustments). The Ravich Revocable Trust of 1989 was Libra's designee in the
June 1996 private placement, and received warrants to purchase an aggregate of

of warrants issued to Libra. Mr Ravich is the Chairman, CEO and majority
shareholder of

                                   PROPOSAL 2
             AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS
 
    In December 1996, the Company consummated a private placement of 450,000
shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of
$11,250,000. The Certificate of Designations in respect to the Series A
Preferred Stock provides that the Series A Preferred Stock has priority in the
payment of dividends and liquidation rights to any other class of the Company's
capital stock. In November 1997, the Company consummated a private placement of
240,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of
$6,000,000. In connection with the November 1997 private placement, the Company
and the purchasers of the Series B Preferred Stock (the "Purchasers") agreed
that the Company would use reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary approvals
for the Series B Preferred Stock to be PARI PASSU in dividend and liquidation
rights with the Series A Preferred Stock. At the time of the private placement
of Series B Preferred Stock, the Company received the written consent of all the
then current holders of Series A Preferred Stock to amend the Certificate of
Designations for the Series A Preferred Stock to provide for such PARI PASSU
rights. In order to effectuate this amendment, Delaware law also requires that
the Company obtain the approval of holders of a majority of the outstanding
Shares. Accordingly, stockholders are being asked to approve the following
resolution amending the Company's Certificate of Designations relating to its
Series A Preferred Stock:
 
    RESOLVED, an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Designations for 5%
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, substantially in the form annexed hereto
as Exhibit A, be, and hereby is, approved.
 
    This amendment will result in dividend rights and rights upon liquidation,
dissolution and winding up of the Series A Preferred Stock being PARI PASSU with
the Series B Preferred Stock and will allow the two classes of Preferred Stock
to be on the same footing with respect to such rights. This amendment will have
no affect on any rights of the holders of the Common Stock.
 
REQUIRED AFFIRMATIVE VOTE
 
    Approval of the proposed amendment to the Company's Certificate of
Designations requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding Shares.
 
    THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE
AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO ITS SERIES A
PREFERRED STOCK.

                                   PROPOSAL 3
                     AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S AMENDED AND
                     RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
 
    The Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation currently
authorizes the issuance of 80 million shares of Common Stock and 10 million
shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"),
including 600,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 340,000 shares of
Series B Preferred Stock. As of April 8, 1998, approximately 48,544,491 shares
of Common Stock were issued and outstanding, 295,533 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding, and 240,000 shares of Series B
Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding. In addition, approximately
8,512,356 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustments) were issuable upon the
exercise in full of outstanding options and warrants, approximately 8,795,625
shares of Common Stock were issuable upon the assumed conversion of all of the
295,533 shares of Series A Preferred Stock currently outstanding, based on a
conversion price of $0.84 per share, and approximately 5,145,798 shares of
Common Stock were issuable upon the assumed conversion of all of the 240,000
shares of Series B Preferred Stock, based on a conversion price of $1.166 per
share.
 
    Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into by the Company in
connection with the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company is
required to pay to each then outstanding holder a default payment in an amount
equal to 3% of the liquidation preference for the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock (which is $25 per share) which they hold for any part of each 30-day
period in which, among other things, the Company does not have a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock available to effect conversion of the Series A
Preferred Stock. The Company currently estimates that it has approximately,
31,455,509 shares of Common Stock available for issuance upon the conversion of
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and
exercise of outstanding options and warrants. If all such convertible securities
were converted or exercised as of the Record Date, the Company would be required
to issue approximately 22,453,779 shares of Common Stock. THERE ARE NO
LIMITATIONS ON THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK THE COMPANY MAY BE REQUIRED
TO ISSUE IN CONNECTION WITH THE CONVERSION OF THE SERIES A AND SERIES B
PREFERRED STOCK. If the conversion prices of the Series A and Series B Preferred
Stock is substantially lower than estimated hereby (due to a drop in the market
price of the Common Stock), the Company may not have enough shares to meet its
conversion obligations, and could be obligated to make the aforementioned
default payments.
 
    Approval of this Proposal will increase the number of authorized shares of
the Company's Common Stock from 80,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares. THE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS CONSIDERED AND UNANIMOUSLY CONCLUDED THAT THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION WAS
ADVISABLE AND RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THIS PROPOSAL. Stockholders
are being asked to approve the following resolution amending the Company's
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation:
 
    RESOLVED, that Article Fourth, paragraph (a) of the Company's Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, shall be amended and restated in its
entirety as follows:
 
        "FOURTH: (a) The total number of shares of stock which the Corporation
    shall have authority to issue is 110,000,000 of which 100,000,000 shares
    shall be Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 10,000,000 shares
    shall be Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share."
 
The remainder of Article Fourth shall remain unchanged.
 
    The Board of Directors considers the proposed increase in the number of
authorized shares to be desirable because it will provide the Company with the
authority to issue additional shares of Common Stock in connection with, and in
furtherance of, the following: (a) satisfying its obligations with respect to
the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of outstanding shares
of Series A and Series B Preferred Stock and the exercise of other convertible
securities, (b) raising additional funds when necessary and (c) other general
corporate purposes (whether in the nature of stock dividends and splits,
acquisitions, employee benefits or other corporate purposes). If this proposal
is approved, it will allow the
 
                                       18
<PAGE>
Board to issue shares of Common Stock from time to time for such purposes and
consideration as the Board may approve without the expense and delay which would
arise if stockholder approval was needed to increase the number of shares of
Common Stock available for issuance. At present, if all convertible securities
were exercised or converted into Common Stock, the Company estimates that it
would have only approximately 9,001,730 authorized shares available for
issuance.
 
    The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock may have a dilutive effect
on earnings per share and on the equity of the present holders of the Company's
capital stock and their voting rights. Holders of Common Stock are not entitled
to any preemptive rights. The increased availability for issuance of shares of
Common Stock also could enable the Board of Directors to render more difficult
or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger,
tender offer or other business combination directed at the Company. For example,
the issuance of shares of Common Stock in a public or private sale, merger or
similar transaction would increase the number of the Company's outstanding
shares, thereby diluting the interest of a party attempting to obtain control of
the Company. The Company is not aware of any attempt, whether formal or
informal, to acquire a controlling interest in the Company. The Board of
Directors has no present intention of issuing additional shares as an
anti-takeover device.
 
REQUIRED AFFIRMATIVE VOTE
 
    Approval of the proposed amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding Shares and the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, voting separately as a
class.
 
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE
AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
INCREASING THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY.

                                   PROPOSAL 4
                     APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
    Since August 1996, Price Waterhouse LLP has served as the Company's
independent accountants. In 1996, the Company appointed Price Waterhouse LLP to
re-audit the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1995
for the reasons set forth below and to audit the Company's 1996 financial
statements. In 1997, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board
of Directors appointed Price Waterhouse LLP as its independent accountants for
the year ending December 31, 1998. Stockholders are being asked to ratify this
action by the Board. Representatives of Price Waterhouse LLP are expected to be
present at the Annual Meeting and will be given the opportunity to make
statements if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate
questions.
 
    Certain information related to the resignation of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP in
1996 and the appointment of Price Waterhouse LLP in 1996 is set forth below.
 
    RESIGNATION OF PEAT MARWICK LLP.  On August 2, 1996, the Company received a
letter from KPMG Peat Marwick LLP ("Peat Marwick") stating that it was resigning
as the independent auditors for the Company. Peat Marwick advised the Company
that it was resigning as the Company's independent auditors following
discussions between Peat Marwick and the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission regarding the independence of Peat Marwick in light of consulting
services provided to the Company at that time by KPMG BayMark Capital LLC.
 
    In connection with the Company's audit for the year ended December 31, 1995,
and during the subsequent periods through August 2, 1996, there were no
disagreements with Peat Marwick on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosures or auditing scope or procedures,
which disagreements, if not resolved to Peat Marwick's satisfaction, would have
caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject
matter of the disagreement.
 
    The audit report of Peat Marwick on the consolidated financial statements of
the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 1995 did not contain any
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to
uncertainty with respect to its audit scope or accounting principles.
 
    APPOINTMENT OF PRICE WATERHOUSE LLP.  On August 14, 1996, the Company
appointed Price Waterhouse LLP as its independent accountants. The retention of
Price Waterhouse LLP was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.
During the two years ended December 31, 1995, and during subsequent periods,
neither the Company nor any person on its behalf consulted with Price Waterhouse
LLP regarding the application of accounting principles to any transaction or the
type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial
statements related thereto.
 
    The audit of Price Waterhouse LLP of the Company's 1995 consolidated
financial statements did not result in any changes to such financial statements,
and the related audit report of Price Waterhouse LLP did not contain any adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to
uncertainty with respect to its audit scope or accounting principles.
 
REQUIRED AFFIRMATIVE VOTE
 
    Ratification of the appointment of Price Waterhouse LLP as the Company's
independent accountants for the year ending December 31, 1998 requires the
affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares represented in person or by proxy
at the Annual Meeting.
 
    THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE
RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF PRICE WATERHOUSE LLP AS THE COMPANY'S
INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1998.

                         PROPOSALS OF SECURITY HOLDERS
 
    A stockholder proposal requested to be presented at the Company's next
Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received by the Company at its principal
executive offices, 275 Shoreline Drive, Suite 500, Redwood Shores, California
94065, no later than December 21, 1998. The Board of Directors will review any
stockholder proposal received in accordance herewith and will determine whether
such proposal is appropriate and satisfies the applicable requirements for
inclusion in the Company's proxy statement for its next Annual Meeting of
Stockholders.
 
                            SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
 
    The Company will bear the cost of the Annual Meeting and the solicitation of
proxies related thereto, including the costs relating to printing and mailing
the proxy materials. The Company has retained Skinner & Co., a firm specializing
in the solicitation of proxies, to assist the Company in the solicitation of
proxies at a fee estimated to be approximately $8,000 in the aggregate,
including expenses. Directors, officers and employees of the Company may make
additional solicitations in person or by telephone in respect to the Meeting
without additional expenses to the Company.
 
                                 OTHER MATTERS
 
    The Board of Directors knows of no other matter which may be presented for
action at the Annual Meeting. However, if any other matter properly comes before
the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with
their judgment in respect to any such matter.
 
    Copies of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, its Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q, including any amendments thereto, and the notice of annual meeting of
stockholders, proxy statement and proxies, are available upon written request,
without cost, from the Company's principle executive offices at 275 Shoreline
Drive, Suite 500, Redwood Shores, California 94065 (Attention: Corporate
Secretary), Telephone (650) 802-7888.
 
    Stockholders are urged to complete, sign, date and return the each enclosed
applicable proxy (or proxies) promptly in the envelope provided, regardless of
whether or not you expect to attend the Annual Meeting. The prompt return of
such proxy or proxies, as the case may be, will assist the Company in preparing
for the Annual Meeting. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

    3. The Certificate of Designations is hereby amended as follows:
 
        The first sentence of Section 1(a) of the Certificate of Designations
    shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
 
           "(a) CUMULATIVE. The holders of the Preferred Shares shall be
       entitled to receive out of any assets legally available therefor
       cumulative dividends at the rate of $1.25 per share per annum compounded
       semi-annually when payable (whether or not declared), payable on the
       Conversion Commencement Date (as defined below) and semi-annually every
       six (6) months thereafter (each a "Dividend Payment Date"), when and as
       declared by the Board of Directors, in preference and priority to any
       payment of any dividend on the Common Stock (as defined below) or any
       other class or series of stock of the Corporation other than shares of
       the Corporation's Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
       designated by that certain Certificate of Designations filed with the
       Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on November 25, 1997 ("Series
       B Preferred")."
 
        Section 1(b) of the Certificate of Designations shall be amended and
    restated in its entirety as follows:
 
           "(b) CASH OR PIK. Any dividend payable on the outstanding Preferred
       Shares may be paid, at the option of the Corporation, either (i) in cash
       or (ii) in additional Preferred Shares (with each new Preferred Share
       valued at $25 per share); PROVIDED, however, that if the Corporation
       shall fail to pay any dividend on a Dividend Payment Date, the amount of
       such dividend shall be added to the Liquidation Preference (as defined
       below) for such Preferred Shares, and FURTHER PROVIDED that if any

       receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any assets of the
       Corporation to the holders of any other class or series of shares other
       than the Series B Preferred (which shall be on a PARI PASSU basis with
       the Preferred Shares), the amount of $25 per share plus any accrued but
       unpaid dividends (with dividends deemed accrued on a per diem basis

certified have been duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section
