ZIX CORPORATION ANNOUCES SALE OFMESSAGE INSPECTOR AND
WEB INSPECTOR PRODUCTS.
Anti-Spam and Web URL Filtering Products Sold to
CyberGuard Corporation
DALLAS, TX (March 14, 2005) -- Zix Corporation (ZixCorp®),
(Nasdaq: ZIXI - News ),
a global provider of secure e-messaging, e-prescribing, and
e-transaction applications and services, today announced
that it has sold its Message Inspector® and Web Inspector® products
to CyberGuard Corporation (Nasdaq: CGFW - News ).
"As we have stated, we continue to focus on our two core
businesses, secure e-messaging and e-prescribing, as well as
on cost management," said Rick Spurr, acting CEO, president
and COO for ZixCorp. "This divestiture is part of our
strategy to be leaders in these two markets. This was an opportune
time to divest Message Inspector and Web Inspector -- they
are healthy products with a solid customer base, but it would
have been difficult over time for us to continue to compete
effectively without significant ongoing investment," Spurr
continued. "We believe this sale will have a positive
impact on our short- and long-term cash position; however,
as you would expect, because both Message Inspector and Web
Inspector products are sold on a perpetual |

license basis, this
transaction will impact our top line revenue in the short term. As
such, we are revising our revenue guidance for Q1 2005 to be between
$3.3 million and $3.5 million. Additionally, our cash position at
the end of Q1 2005 will be in excess of the high end of our previously
announced guidance range, which was $23.5 million," Spurr said.
