Business Editors

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. & SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 11, 2002

Fair, Isaac and Company, Incorporated (NYSE:FIC) and HNC Software Inc. (Nasdaq:HNCS) announced today that they have received a request for additional information from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) relating to the previously announced merger between Fair, Isaac and HNC.

The companies intend to respond promptly to the information request. A "second request" extends the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 during which the DOJ is permitted to review a transaction. While the companies cannot estimate how long it will take to comply with the second request, they continue to anticipate the merger will close in the third calendar quarter of 2002, as announced previously.
