Orem, UT — November 1, 1995 — Novell today announced that E.J. Tim Harris has resigned for medical reasons as the company's senior vice president, human resources and corporate officer. Harris has had worldwide responsibility for Novell's human resources and eleemosynary programs since 1989.

Paul Cook, Novell vice president of international human resources, will assume Harris' responsibilities until a decision is made on his replacement.

"Tim Harris has made enormous contributions to Novell's growth as a market leader and a great place to work," said Robert J. Frankenberg, Novell chairman and CEO. "All of us at Novell recognize his achievements with respect and gratitude, and we wish him a speedy recovery from the medical problems that have caused his resignation."

Harris was vice president for human resources at Excelan prior to its merger with Novell in 1989. He previously held management positions at National Semiconductor Corporation and AT&T.

A decorated Vietnam veteran, Harris has also served on the boards of corporate and non-profit organizations, including IntelliMatch, Inc., Good Samaritan Hospital, San Jose Repertory Theater, Utah International Aerospace Education Foundation, Junior Achievement, and Coalition for Justice ensuring the excellence of the California judicial system. He is a member of the advisory committee to the sheriff of Santa Clara County and, for the past 11 years, has served on the Executive Committee of the State Bar Court of California.

"My life has been enriched by my experiences working with the wonderful and talented employees of Novell worldwide," said Harris. "I thank them for their support and good wishes, and I wish them the best in their future endeavors."
