</B></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">Atlanta &#150;October 24, 2002 &#150; Clarus Corporation (NASDAQ: CLRS) announced today that its Board of Directors has called a
Special Meeting of Stockholders to be held on December 6, 2002 to approve the sale of substantially all of the revenue generating assets of Clarus&#146; electronic commerce business to Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ: EPIC). A Proxy Statement
describing the proposed actions is expected to be mailed to all stockholders of record as of October 21, 2002 within the next few weeks. A preliminary proxy statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 23, 2002. At the
special meeting, stockholders will also be asked to approve the reimbursement of expenses incurred by Warren B. Kanders for himself, Burtt R. Ehrlich and Nicholas Sokolow in connection with their successful solicitation of proxies for their election
to Clarus&#146; Board of Directors, and to amend Clarus&#146; certificate of incorporation and bylaws to eliminate the staggered terms for directors. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"
COLOR="#000000">On October 17, 2002 Clarus entered into an asset purchase agreement with Epicor to sell substantially all of the revenue generating assets of Clarus&#146; electronic commerce business, representing substantially all of Clarus&#146;
operating assets, for $1 million in cash. The closing of the proposed transaction is subject to certain conditions, including approval by stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of Clarus&#146; common stock. After the closing,
Clarus expects that Stephen P. Jeffrey will no longer serve as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Clarus, but will continue to serve on the company&#146;s Board of Directors. Additionally, Clarus&#146; Board of Directors has appointed Warren B.
Kanders, a current member of the Board, to serve, upon closing the Epicor transaction, as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"
COLOR="#000000">Warren B. Kanders, commenting on the proposed transaction, said &#147;the proposed sale of Clarus&#146; electronic commerce business represents an important step in our efforts to reposition Clarus&#146; business in order to enhance
stockholder value. Following the consummation of the proposed sale, Clarus will seek opportunities to redeploy its assets through an acquisition of, or merger with, an operating business that will serve as a platform company to enhance future
growth.&#148; Clarus has retained Morgan Joseph &amp; Co. Inc., a New York based investment banking firm serving middle market companies, to assist it in implementing this strategy by identifying suitable merger targets or acquisition opportunities.
</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">A conference call to discuss these events is planned for November 14, 2002 at 9:00 AM ET. The call will be hosted by Steve Jeffery and
Warren B. Kanders, member of the Board of Directors. Interested parties can access the audio conference via webcast at </FONT></DIV>
