SCO Expands Scope of its Agreement With Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP And Provides 4th Quarter Financial Guidance

SCO Expands Agreement With Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP and Identifies New Copyright Issues

LINDON, Utah, Nov 18, 2003 -- The SCO Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: SCOX), the owner of the UNIX® operating system, today announced it has expanded the scope of its agreement with its law firm, Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP for the protection of and defense against unauthorized use and exploitation of SCO's intellectual property.

As part of the expanded scope, the firm has been engaged to support SCO regarding issues relating to copyrighted UNIX code incorporated into Linux without authorization or appropriate copyright notices. Code that has been identified includes Unix System V code as well as copyrighted code included in the 1994 settlement between Unix Systems Laboratories, Inc. and Berkeley Software Design, Inc. SCO acquired this code and associated copyrights in 1995 from Novell.

In connection with SCO's $50,000,000 private placement of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock completed on October 16, 2003, SCO has agreed to pay Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP and other law firms representing SCO, $1,000,000 in cash and issue 400,000 shares of SCO's common stock. As a result of the issuance of this consideration, SCO anticipates recording a charge to earnings of approximately $8,956,000 in its fourth quarter that ended October 31, 2003. This $8,956,000 charge to earnings is comprised of non-cash expense of $7,956,000 related to the issuance of the 400,000 shares of common stock and $1,000,000 in cash expense.

Additionally, SCO anticipates recording a non-cash charge for the beneficial conversion feature related to the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of approximately $8,741,000 in the fourth quarter that ended October 31, 2003. The beneficial conversion feature represents the intrinsic value of the difference in the Series A conversion price of $16.93 per share and the closing market price of SCO's common stock on October 16, 2003 of $19.89 per share. In addition to the stated dividend rate, dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will accrue on the difference between the stated dividend rate and 12% per annum. These dividends will reduce earnings available to common stockholders if or when incurred.

In line with its previous guidance, SCO expects revenue for its fourth quarter ended October 31, 2003 to be in the range of $22,000,000 to $25,000,000. SCO will discuss its full results of operations for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended October 31, 2003, in a conference call on December 8, 2003.

"We look forward to continuing our work with SCO to protect the Company's important and valuable intellectual property rights," said David Boies, Managing Partner, Boies, Schiller & Flexner, LLP.

"During the past seven months, our company, along with Boies, Schiller & Flexner, has uncovered a number of substantial software code issues as they pertain to our UNIX intellectual property and Linux," said Darl McBride, President and CEO, The SCO Group, Inc. "By far the most important asset of this company is our ownership of the UNIX operating system and today we are investing in the protection and future of UNIX. Boies, Schiller & Flexner is now moving beyond the contract issues we have with IBM. The firm will be enforcing and defending SCO's intellectual property rights, including the protection of our UNIX System V source code and our copyrights that were reaffirmed as a result of the BSDI settlement agreement."
