Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "our," "us" and
"Corel" refer to Corel Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Corel
Corporation Limited, Corel International Corp., Corel, Inc. and Corel
Corporation (U.S.A.).
COREL
We were incorporated as Corel Systems Corporation under the Canada Business
Corporations Act by Articles of Incorporation dated May 29, 1985. Corel's
principal executive offices are located at 1600 Carling Avenue, Ottawa, Ontario,
Canada K1Z 8R7 and its telephone number is (613)-728-8200. Our corporate name
was changed to Corel Corporation in May 1992. Corel develops, manufactures,
licenses, sells and supports a wide range of software products including
graphics, business productivity, consumer and video applications. Corel products
are available for users of most PCs, including International Business Machines
Corporation ("IBM(R)") and IBM-compatible PCs, Apple Computer Inc.'s ("Apple")
Macintosh(R) ("Mac"), UNIX-based and Linux-based systems. Corel's business
strategy emphasizes the development of a broad line of PC software application
products for business and personal use, marketed through multiple channels of
distribution.
RISK FACTORS
Please carefully consider the specific factors set forth below as well as the
other information contained in, or incorporated by reference into, this
prospectus before purchasing shares of our common stock. This prospectus
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our
actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the
forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include,
but are not limited to, those discussed below.
Our success depends on the success of a few product lines.
The success of our two most prominent product lines are critical to the success
of our business. The two product lines are CorelDRAW and Corel WordPerfect
Suite. Through the first six months of our 1999 fiscal year, these product
lines accounted for 95% of our revenue. The inability to complete timely
enhancements to our products and to effectively market our products could have a
material adverse affect on our business, results of operations and financial
conditions.
2
<PAGE>
We may not be profitable in the face of rapidly changing technology.
Rapid technological developments, evolving consumer demands and frequent new
product introductions and enhancements characterize the market for business
applications and graphics software. These market characteristics are exacerbated
by the emerging nature of the market and the fact that our competitors hold a
significant portion of the market share in the business applications market. Our
future success will be dependent upon the timely completion and introduction of
new or enhanced products incorporating such emerging technologies at competitive
price and performance levels. The pace of change is accelerated due to the
Internet, corporate intranets and the acceptance of new operating systems such
as Linux. In addition, the widespread adoption of developing systems and
applications for such emerging technologies could require significant resources
and could adversely affect our results of operations and financial conditions.
Our success depends on key personnel.
Our future success is substantially dependent on our executive officers and key
technical and marketing personnel. Our future success depends on our continuing
ability to retain and attract highly qualified technical and managerial
personnel. As of May 31, 1999, we had 1,456 full-time employees and we
anticipate that the number of employees will increase significantly during the
next 12 months. Wages for managerial and technical employees are increasing and
are expected to continue to increase in the foreseeable future due to the
competitive nature of the current employment market, particularly in Canada. We
may be unable to retain key technical and managerial personnel or attract and
retain additional highly qualified technical and managerial personnel in the
future. We have experienced difficulty from time to time attracting the
personnel necessary to support the growth of our business, and we may experience
similar difficulty in the future. Inability to attract and retain the technical
and managerial personnel necessary to support the growth of our business could
have an adverse affect on our business.
We experience fluctuations in our operating results.
We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, significant
fluctuations in operating results due to a variety of factors.
Factors that may cause fluctuations in operating results in the future
include, but are not limited to,
. market acceptance of our products or those of our competitors;
. the timing of introductions of new products and new versions of
existing products;
. expenses relating to the development and promotion of such new products
and new version introductions;
. product returns and reserves; changes in pricing policies by us or our
competitors;
. projected and actual changes in platforms and technologies;
. the accuracy of forecasts of, and fluctuations in, consumer demand;
. the rate of growth of the consumer software market;
. fluctuations in foreign exchange rates;
. the timing of orders or order cancellation from major customers;
. changes or disruptions in the consumer software distribution channels;
. the successful acquisition and integration of new businesses, products
and technologies;
3
<PAGE>
. the timing of any write-offs in connection with such acquisitions; and
. economic conditions, both generally and within our industry.
We may also be required to pay fees in advance or to guarantee royalties,
which may be substantial, or to obtain software licenses from third parties. As
a result of these and other factors, our operating results in any given period
are inherently difficult to predict. Any significant shortfall in revenues and
earnings from the levels expected by securities analysts and stockholders could
result in a substantial decline in the trading price of our common stock.
Competition within distribution channels may adversely affect our business.
We compete with other software vendors for access to distribution channels,
retail shelf space and the attention of customers at the retail level and in
corporate accounts. Other competitors with greater market share and
significantly greater financial resources may command the attention of the
retail accounts, the corporate market and original equipment manufacturers. In
order to compete for distribution channel space we must offer compelling reasons
to distribute our products. We attempt to achieve this through offering a
superior product at a reasonable price that offers compatibility with
competitive products. We must also use innovative marketing ideas in order to
compel the distributor to carry our products. Inability to maintain distribution
channel space could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
We depend on a limited number of distributors and retailers for a substantial
amount of revenues.
The distribution of our products is carried out primarily through distributors,
certain of which are material to our competitive position. The distribution
channels through which software products for desktop computers are sold have
been characterized by rapid change, including consolidations and financial
difficulties of certain distributors and retailers, the emergence of new
retailers such as general mass merchandisers and superstores, and the desire of
large customers such as retail chains and corporate users to purchase directly
from software developers. The loss of, or a significant reduction in sales
volumes attributable to any of our principal distributors or the insolvency or
business failure of any such distributor could have a material adverse effect on
our business and results of operations and financial condition.
Our marketplace is intensely competitive and rapidly changing and we may not be
able to compete successfully in the future.
Our industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid technological change.
Many of our current and potential competitors have larger technical staffs, more
established and larger marketing and sales organizations, and significantly
greater financial resources. The rapid pace of technological change constantly
creates new opportunities for existing and new competitors and can quickly
render existing technologies less valuable. As the market for our products
continues to develop, additional competitors may enter the market and
competition may intensify. Inability to compete in the following factors could
have a material adverse affect on our business; product performance, product
features, ease of use, reliability, hardware and competitor compatibility, brand
name recognition, product reputation, pricing, levels of advertising,
availability and quality of customer support, and timeliness of product
upgrades.
Our dependence on third party developers could have a material adverse affect on
our business.
We compete with other software companies in our efforts to acquire software
technology developed by third parties. As we continue to introduce new products
that incorporate new technologies, we may be required to license additional
technology from others. We cannot assure you that this third party technology
license will continue to be commercially available to us on reasonable terms, if
at all. Additionally, we cannot assure you that third parties from which we
license our technology will be able to defend their proprietary rights
successfully against claims of infringement. Any failure to obtain any of these
technology licenses could result in delays and reductions in the introduction of
new features and functions. With limited technical resources available and the
need for timely
4
<PAGE>
product enhancements, the use of third party developers is critical to our
product release schedules. Inability to secure third party developers could have
a material adverse affect on our business.
We face risks associated with our international operations.
A part of our strategy is to increase our presence in international markets. We
may experience difficulty in managing international operations as a result of
competition, local laws and regulations, distance and language and cultural
differences. There are also certain risks inherent in doing business
internationally including:
. cultural and business practice differences;
. fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
. political;
. legal and economic stability;
. seasonal reductions in business activity in certain other parts of the
world; and
. potentially adverse tax consequences.
We may not be profitable in the face of constant pricing pressures.
Pricing pressures continually intensify in our market and we believe that price
competition, with its attendant reduced profit margins, may become a more
significant factor in the future. Corporate licensing, discount pricing for
large volume distributors and retailers, product bundling promotions,
competitive upgrade programs and end-user-mail-in rebates are forms of price
competition that are prevalent today. The inability to effectively market our
products and obtain the optimum price points could have a material adverse
affect on our business.
Our common stock price is highly volatile and is subject to wide fluctuations.
The market price of our common stock is highly volatile and could be
subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as actual or
anticipated variations in our operating results, announcements of technological
innovations, new products or services introduced by us or our competitors,
changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, conditions and trends in
the software market, general market conditions and other factors.
Year 2000 issues could affect our business.
There are three major risks for the Company from Year 2000 issues. Year
2000 compliance problems with Corel's products could have a material adverse
effect on sales and operations. Significant Year 2000 compliance problems with
internal systems could seriously affect the Company's ability to carry out its
operations. Corel also depends heavily on third parties for raw materials,
transportation utilities, and other key services. Interruption of supplier
operations due to Year 2000 issues could seriously disrupt the Company's
operations. In addition, if Corel's current or future customers do not achieve
Year 2000 compliance or if they divert expenditures previously reserved for
business software to address their year 2000 compliance problems, Corel's
business, results of operations, or financial condition could be materially
adversely affected.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the
selling stockholders.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
We are registering the shares of common stock pursuant to the Agreement for
Purchase and Sale of Assets dated April 16, 1999 by and among IA Users Club,
Inc., Jeff Bianco, Corel Corporation and Corel Corporation Limited (the
"Agreement").
5
<PAGE>
IA Users Club, Inc., of which Jeff Bianco is the sole shareholder, is a provider
of digital graphics to software publishers and hardware manufacturers. On April
16, 1999, pursuant to the Agreement, Corel Corporation and Corel Corporation
Limited acquired the digital graphics content of IA Users Club, Inc., along with
other intangible assets. As part of the purchase price, Corel issued 1,000,000
Common Shares to IA Users Club, Inc., who at closing, directed Corel to deliver
such shares to Jeff Bianco, Michael Walker, the sole owners of equity interests
in IA Users Club, Inc., and Corum Group, which assisted IA Users Club, Inc., in
connection with the transaction (collectively, the "selling stockholders") in
the amounts set out below. Such direction was made to accommodate certain of IA
Users Club, Inc.'s internal arrangements related to the purchase price. If the
average closing sales price per share of the Common Shares as traded on The
Nasdaq Stock Market - National Market for the seven trading days preceding
September 30, 1999 is less than US$6.30 then Corel is obligated to pay the
selling shareholders, before October 30, 1999, in US dollars, the difference
between the average trading price and US$6.30 multiplied by the number of
original Common Shares held by the selling shareholders on September 30, 1999.
The selling stockholders may from time to time offer and sell any or all of
their shares pursuant to this prospectus. Because the selling stockholders are
not obligated to sell shares of common stock, and because selling stockholders
may also acquire publicly traded shares of our common stock, we cannot estimate
how many shares of common stock each selling stockholder will beneficially own
after this offering.

DILUTION
The dilutive effect of the shares have already been calculated in the results
of operations and earnings per share figure recorded in our quarterly report on
Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 1999.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We have filed a Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a
part pursuant to registration rights we granted to the selling stockholders
pursuant to the Agreement.
To Corel's knowledge, no selling stockholder has entered into any
agreement, arrangement or understanding with any particular broker or market
maker with respect to the shares of common stock offered hereby, nor does Corel
know the identity of the brokers or market makers that will participate in the
sale of the shares. As used in this prospectus, the term "selling stockholders"
includes donees and pledgees selling shares received from a named selling
stockholder after the date of this prospectus.
Who May Sell; How Much; Applicable Restrictions. The selling stockholders
may from time to time offer the shares of common stock through brokers, dealers
or agents who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or
commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of the shares of
common stock for whom they may act as agent. In effecting sales, broker-dealers
that are engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-
dealers to participate. The selling stockholders and any such brokers, dealers
or agents who participate in the distribution of the shares of common stock may
be deemed to be "underwriters," and any profits on the sale of the shares of
common stock by them and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by
any such brokers, dealers or agents might be deemed to be underwriting discounts
and commissions under the Securities Act. To the extent the selling
stockholders may be deemed to be underwriters, the selling stockholders may be
subject to certain statutory liabilities of, including but not limited to,
Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange
Act. To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or
understandings between any selling stockholders and any broker, dealer, agent or
underwriter regarding the sale of the shares of common stock by the selling
stockholders.
Manner of Sales and Applicable Restrictions. The selling stockholders will
act independently of Corel in making decisions with respect to the timing,
manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made over The Nasdaq
6
<PAGE>
Stock Market or otherwise, at then prevailing market prices, at prices related
to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The shares of common stock
may be sold according to one or more of the following methods:
(a) a block trade in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to
sell the shares of common stock as agent but may position and resell a
portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
(b) purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker
or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;
(c) an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the Nasdaq rules;
(d) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker
solicits purchasers;
(e) privately negotiated transactions.
Certain persons participating in this offering may engage in transactions
that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our common stock,
including the entry of stabilizing bids or syndicate covering transactions or
the imposition of penalty bids. The selling stockholders and any other person
participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder including, without
limitation, Regulation M (which regulation may limit the timing of purchases and
sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders and any
other such person). The anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act may
apply to sales of shares of common stock in the market and to the activities of
the selling stockholders and their affiliates. Furthermore, Regulation M of the
Exchange Act may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution
of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect
to the particular shares of common stock being distributed for a period of up to
five business days prior to the commencement of such distribution. All of the
foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the
ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with
respect to the shares of common stock.
Rules 101 and 102 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, among other
things, generally prohibit certain participants in a distribution from bidding
for or purchasing for an account in which the participant has a beneficial
interest, any of the securities that are the subject of the distribution. Rule
104 of Regulation M governs bids and purchases made to stabilize the price of a
security in connection with a distribution of the security.
Hedging and Other Certain Transactions with Broker-Dealers. In connection
with distributions of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling
stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers. In
connection with such transactions, broker-dealers may engage in short sales of
the shares of common stock registered hereunder in the course of hedging the
positions they assume with selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may
also sell shares of common stock short and redeliver the shares of common stock
to close out such short positions. The selling stockholders may also enter into
option or other transactions with broker-dealers which require the delivery to
the broker-dealer of the shares of common stock registered hereunder, which the
broker-dealer may resell or otherwise transfer pursuant to this prospectus.
Selling stockholders may also loan or pledge the shares of common stock
registered hereunder to a broker-dealer and the broker-dealer may sell the
shares of common stock so loaned or, upon a default, the broker-dealer may
effect sales of the pledged shares of common stock pursuant to this prospectus.
Expenses Associated With Registration. We have agreed to pay the expenses of
registering the shares of common stock under the Securities Act, including
registration and filing fees, printing expenses, administrative expenses and
certain legal and accounting fees. Each of the selling stockholders will bear
its pro rata share of all discounts, commissions or other amounts payable to
underwriters, dealers or agents as well as fees and disbursements for legal
counsel retained by any such selling stockholder.
Indemnification. Under the terms of the Agreement, we have agreed to
indemnify each of the parties to the agreements and certain other persons
against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of the shares of
common stock, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

<PAGE>
Prospectus Updates; Suspension of this Offering. At any time a particular
offer of the shares of common stock is made, a revised prospectus or prospectus
supplement, if required, will be distributed. Such prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment will be filed with the SEC to reflect the disclosure of
required additional information with respect to the distribution of the shares
of common stock. Under the terms of the Agreement, upon the occurrence of any
event known to our executive officers as a result of which this prospectus is
known by our executive officers to include an untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the
circumstances then existing, the parties have each agreed not to trade shares of
common stock from the time the selling stockholder receives notice from Corel of
such an event until such party receives a prospectus supplement or amendment.
Upon the occurrence of such an event, a prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment, if required, will be distributed to the parties.
