ANTs Consolidates Executive Responsibilities with CEO Joseph Kozak.

Moves Forward with Succession Plan, Corporate Governance Best Practices

BURLINGAME, Calif. -- ANTs software inc. (OTCBB:ANTS), a leader in compatible, high-performance SQL database management systems, announced that in a series of planned personnel moves, Mr. Joseph Kozak has taken on sole executive responsibility for ANTs; Mr. Francis Ruotolo has retired as executive chairman and moves into the role of non-executive chairman of the company's board of directors; and Mr. John R. Gaulding, currently a director, moves into the role of lead director. The personnel changes provide Mr. Kozak with responsibility for all aspects of the company's strategy and operations and establish a higher level of independence for the board of directors.

"At ANTs, I have had the pleasure of working with the most intelligent and dedicated employees in my 50 years of management experience," said Mr. Ruotolo. "The ANTs Data Server and the ANTs Compatibility Server are exciting products with the potential to put this company on the map. I am thoroughly impressed and confident in Joe Kozak's ability to take ANTs to the next level. As I approach my 70th birthday, I also look forward to a reduced workload while continuing to contribute in my new role."

"Frank's leadership and vision have helped guide ANTs through challenging times and helped build a strong foundation for growth," said Joseph Kozak, president and CEO. "On behalf of the employees, fellow directors, and shareholders, I would like to thank Frank for nearly seven years of dedicated service. I will continue to enjoy working with him as chairman, and with John Gaulding as lead director."

Mr. Ruotolo's retirement agreement precludes him from being considered an "independent" director. Following best practices in corporate board governance, Mr. Gaulding, an independent director, was appointed lead director on June 26, 2007. In that role, he and Mr. Kozak will work closely to identify strategic areas of opportunity and risk and set the agenda for board activities.
