Exhibit No. 99 Citrix Purchases Additional Technologies New Technologies to Enhance Citrix Thin-Client/Server Products and Advance Strategy for Enterprise Application Deployment FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- January 12, 1998 -- Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS) today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire certain software technologies and assets of Insignia Solutions (Nasdaq:INSGY), including Macintosh and UNIX ICA(R)-based clients, X.11 driver technology, Keoke technology, and all modifications and technology enhancements to WinFrame(R) thin-client/server software marketed under Insignia's NTRIGUE brand name, as well as transfer engineering resources necessary for ongoing product development. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to close later this month. Today's announcement advances Citrix's strategy for delivering universal access to Windows-based applications-- regardless of client hardware, operating platform or network connection. The acquisition of Insignia's technologies will provide a basis for further expanding Citrix's own ICA-based client offerings to include additional, non-Intel device platforms such as Macintosh computers and UNIX workstations. "The technologies we will be purchasing will provide a basis for enhancing the capabilities of our thin-client/server software products, making it easier for customers to extend the reach of Windows-based applications to any type of client device," said Roger W. Roberts, President and CEO of Citrix. "This is an important milestone for our cross-platform client strategy, and it further strengthens our ability to enhance key thin-client/server technologies, such as our ICA protocol." The aggregate purchase price is approximately U.S. $17.5 million and the acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase. A substantial portion of the purchase price is expected to be allocated to purchased in-process research and development for which the company expects to incur a one-time charge to its operations, amounting to approximately U.S. $16 million, in the quarter ending March 31, 1998. Pricing, packaging and availability of new products and enhancements based upon former Insignia technologies will be announced at a later date. Approximately one-half of the Insignia development team will join Citrix at the company's new research and development center in High Wycombe, England. Citrix intends to provide Insignia NTRIGUE customers a migration path to its current WinFrame software as well as its thin-client/server software for the Windows NT Server 4.0 environment, currently code-named "pICAsso."
