ANGOSS REPORTS BOARD AND MANAGEMENT CHANGES

TORONTO, Dec. 21 /CNW/ - Angoss Software Corporation (Angoss) (TSX-V: ANC) today announced important changes with respect to its Board of Directors and senior management team.

Effective immediately Martin Galligan joins the Angoss board.  Martin is an accomplished executive with a successful career in the information and communications industry stretching over twenty-five years.  His experience encompasses sales and marketing responsibilities at all levels for a major information and communications technology firm, as well as the provision of consulting services focused on market growth initiatives.

Eric Apps is stepping down as President and CEO of Angoss.  Under the twelve years of Eric's leadership, Angoss has become a recognized leader with respect to predictive analytics software and solutions.  Predictive analytics is an area of growing interest and excitement to more and more business and industry sectors.  The great strength of Angoss in this field lies in its people and the knowledge they possess.

The Board of Directors has appointed Martin Galligan President and CEO of Angoss.  Angoss is currently settling the terms of employment with Mr. Galligan which are subject to definitive documentation.  It is anticipated that Mr. Galligan will have the right to invest $185,000 in the Company pursuant to a private placement, and to receive shares of the Company in satisfaction of a signing bonus, all of which are on terms and conditions to be determined and are subject to regulatory approval.  Martin will bring to the role his experience in building and managing growing sales organizations, and is expected to execute an aggressive but focused marketing and sales plan.

Change and transition are always challenging.  The Board of Directors, recognizing both the difficulty and the necessity of these changes, is enthusiastic about the opportunities that await Angoss.
