Business Editors

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 9, 2000

Calico Commerce (Nasdaq: CLIC), a leading provider of business-to-business electronic commerce software and services, today announced a new organizational structure designed to extend Calico's leadership position in the eBusiness applications marketplace through the establishment of two new operating units. In addition, the company announced the intention of David E. Barrett to resign his position as executive vice president and chief operating officer effective upon successful implementation of the new organization.

As was previously announced, a new Net Markets business unit headed by Alan MacMurray as VP and general manager has been formed to focus on the explosive Net market maker segment. Additionally, the company has formed a new eSales Products Group headed by Tayloe Stansbury, VP of engineering. The two new operating units will report directly to Alan Naumann, president and CEO. &uot;The new organization positions Calico for the future by accelerating product development, improving service to our customers and expanding our market leadership,&uot; said Alan Naumann, president and CEO, Calico Commerce.

Dave Barrett, chief operating officer, has announced his intention to resign from Calico following the successful transition to the new structure. Mr. Barrett decided to depart Calico in order to focus on business interests in the Boston area, his current place of residence, and will remain involved with the company by serving on the Calico Board of Advisors.

&uot;During his two years with Calico, Dave has been an important catalyst to our growth and development as a company. Our quarterly revenues have increased by nearly five-fold, we've scaled our worldwide market reach and established key partnerships and alliances which will help to leverage that momentum further,&uot; said Alan Naumann, president and CEO, Calico Commerce. &uot;Dave has helped to lay down the structure and internal processes in place to enable us to operate as a public company. He has put in place a very strong business and world-class organization. I certainly understand his desire to work closer to his family and look forward to his continued involvement with Calico as a member of our Board of Advisors.&uot;

&uot;From both a company and a personal perspective, the timing is right for this move,&uot; said Dave Barrett. &uot;I fully support the new organization and Alan and I are both committed to making a smooth transition. I leave behind outstanding executive leadership of Sales in the Americas, Eurasia, Marketing, Professional Services, Business Development &Operations. I have tremendous confidence in both the company and the Calico management team.&uot;
