    Additional Company News
    - In 2009 Jive continued its rapid momentum, increasing full year revenue
      85% over 2008. That momentum is continuing in 2010, with strong demand
      for Jive's Social Business Software solutions across all markets. As a
      result, Jive is accelerating hiring and beginning the build-out of an
      additional floor of the iconic Federal Reserve building in downtown
      Portland that serves as the company's global headquarters. This
      expansion will also provide additional customer and partner meeting
      facilities.

    - Jive has fully integrated the acquisition of Boulder, CO-based Filtrbox
      into the company and is recruiting additional talent to accelerate the
      development of solutions that leverage the Filtrbox technology. To
      accommodate this growth, Jive has signed a lease for a significantly
      larger office in Boulder's Pearl Street District. This will also enable
      Jive to tap into the burgeoning technology talent market in Boulder for
      other positions in the company.

    - Jive recently announced that JiveWorld, the SBS industry's largest
      community conference, will be held September 14-16, 2010 in San
      Francisco. Based on last year's sold out program and participant
      feedback, JiveWorld10 will feature a longer program and greater
      capacity to accommodate the growing Jive community.
