After exceeding its revenue goals for 1999, SuSE Linux AG
restructured and appointed new members to its U.S. management team
to respond to and encourage the increased demand for SuSE Linux
products and services in North America.

“The new management team indicates SuSE’s strategic focus on
marketing communication and support in U.S. software sales and
services and is in keeping with the recent expansion of the SuSE
board of directors (13 Jan ’00). The U.S. management team now
includes Dirk Hohndel, Chief Technology Officer (worldwide); Stefan
Wintermeyer, Director of Worldwide Support; Chris N. Simmons, VP,
Marketing and Sales; and Jan Fuxell, Director of U.S.
Operations.”

“This team was selected specifically to ensure our continued
success in the USA,” said Roland Dyroff, CEO of SuSE Linux AG.
“Their mission is to continue to demonstrate our presence and
technical superiority in this critical market.”
