BroadVision, Inc. Announces Extension of Stockholder Voting Period.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- BroadVision, Inc. (Nasdaq:BVSN) announced today that in order to extend the period during which stockholders may submit proxies, the Company has adjourned its special stockholder meeting until October 26, 2005, when the special meeting will reconvene at 10:00 a.m., local time, at BroadVision's offices at 585 Broadway, Redwood City, California. The purpose of the special meeting is to vote upon the approval and adoption of the merger agreement providing for the acquisition of BroadVision by a newly formed portfolio company of Vector Capital, a San Francisco-based private equity firm. If the transaction is approved, BroadVision's stockholders will receive $0.84 per share in cash, and BroadVision will operate going forward as a privately held, independent software vendor. The special meeting has been adjourned and rescheduled to permit further solicitation of proxies in order to establish a quorum and to obtain additional votes in favor of the merger.

The approval and adoption of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of 17,160,069 shares of BroadVision common stock, which represents a majority of the outstanding shares as of the record date for the special meeting. As of October 12, 2005 at 10:00 a.m., BroadVision had received proxies for approximately 10.6 million shares, of which over 92% are in favor of the transaction. BroadVision mailed proxy statements to all stockholders of record on or about September 15, 2005 and encourages stockholders to complete and return the enclosed proxy card prior to the date of the adjourned meeting. BroadVision has engaged Georgeson Shareholder, an international proxy solicitation firm, to assist with the solicitation of proxies.

"We strongly encourage stockholders to carefully consider the proposal described in the proxy statement and to cast their vote on the enclosed proxy card whether or not they plan to attend the special meeting," said Pehong Chen, CEO of BroadVision. "Our board of directors believes that, if this transaction is not approved, shares of BroadVision common stock would likely be worth much less than the $0.84 per share in cash available in this transaction. If stockholders do not return their proxy cards, instruct their brokers how to vote, or vote in person at the special meeting, then the effect will be a vote against the transaction."
