Caldera to Change Name to The SCO Group

Caldera to change its name to SCO, reemphasizing its dedication to Linux, SCO OpenServer and SCO UnixWare products, and capturing brand recognition of the SCO name

LINDON, Utah—Aug. 26, 2002— Caldera International, Inc. (Nasdaq: CALD) today announced it will change its name to The SCO Group (SCO) upon shareholder approval. The new name draws upon the company’s significant brand recognition in its SCO OpenServer and SCO UnixWare product lines. In addition, the renaming enables solution providers to use the strength of the SCO brand when selling Linux solutions, including SCO’s Linux based product powered by UnitedLinux to be released later this year.

“The name change to SCO from Caldera builds on a strong market position which we will extend as we reinvent the SCO brand,” said Darl McBride, president and CEO, SCO. “For more than two decades, the SCO name has been synonymous with reliability, stability and cost efficiency. Now, the coexistence and collaboration of UNIX and Linux systems from a single source offers our customers and channel partners a powerful choice of solutions, backed by a name that powers millions of servers around the world – SCO.”

The SCO name change carries over to current Caldera branded solutions:

SCO OpenServer will retain its name. In addition, it is anticipated that the company will adopt SCOX as the new trading symbol for its common stock. The company will provide a press release with respect to the effective date of this change.
