Press Release Summary = The innovative verification company, provider of the JIVARO
model order reduction tool, becomes a member of the Emerging Solutions program,
which offers cutting-edge tools to CADENCE's customers

Press Release Body = GRENOBLE, France, April 2, 2007 - EDXACT SA, today announced it
has joined CADENCE's "Connections" program. This partnership program ensures a tight
integration of third-parties tools within the Cadence design flow, as members are
allowed to jointly analyze, develop and optimize the flow of data among their tools.
It enables customers to benefit from both widely used flows and innovative point
tools.

EDXACT (Voiron, France) is part of a new category of members of the Connection
program, called Emerging Solutions Members, which offer particularly cutting-edge
tools.

EDXACT joined the Connection Partners program in order to integrate its JIVARO® tool
within CADENCE's VIRTUOSO® custom IC design platform. JIVARO is a model reduction
tool that helps IC designers to manage huge parasitic data files obtained from
layout extraction tools. It will be tightly integrated within the VIRTUOSO design
capture and simulation environment, and used as an add-on to the platform's
extraction tools. This helps to prevent netlist handling errors. Designers will be
enabled to seamlessly manage the flow through an enhanced graphic interface called
Salsa.

"We are pleased to participate in a close cooperation with the leading EDA vendor,"
said Mathias Silvant, EDXACT President. "Our mutual customers will benefit from a
validated and optimized design flow and accelerate their time to market."

The JIVARO technology is available on SunOS, HP-UX, and Linux platforms.
