Under the General Corporation Law of California and the Company's bylaws, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote is required to take any action at the special meeting.

Due to the national day of mourning and the closing of public offices on June 11, 2004, the Company does not expect to receive additional proxies prior to the meeting. However, the Company intends to convene the meeting as scheduled. If a quorum is not present at that time, the meeting will be immediately adjourned to June 22, 2004, at 10:00 a.m. (Pacific Time), at Critical Path's principal offices located at 350 The Embarcadero, San Francisco, California.

Shareholders may vote by completing and returning their proxy card in accordance with the instructions included in their proxy materials, or by attending the special meeting. Shares held in street name should be voted by contacting the shareholder's financial institution in whose name the shares are held. For further assistance, shareholders may also contact Georgeson Shareholder, the Company's solicitation agent, at 800-843-1451.

If the shareholders meeting is adjourned as expected, the Company expects to extend the expiration of the rights offering until July 2, 2004.
