VIEX Urges Support.com Stockholders to Vote for Its Five Nominees on the GOLD Proxy Card, Including the VIEX Nominees Recommended by ISS and Glass Lewis

NEW YORK, June 14, 2016

VIEX encourages its fellow stockholders not to be misled by the Company's recent ploy and attempt at a spin on the recent recommendations – ISS and Glass Lewis both recommend that Support.com stockholders vote on VIEX's GOLD proxy card, and further recommend that stockholders DO NOT VOTE on management's white proxy card. ISS and Glass Lewis have each validated VIEX's belief that change is warranted at Support.com given the abysmal total shareholder returns that have persisted over every relevant measurable period under the current leadership team (which now includes three recent additions who were unilaterally appointed without stockholder input).

In response to both leading independent advisory firms recommending a vote on the GOLD proxy card, Support.com has resorted to further unilateral and reactive changes in the abrupt announcement that Chairman Jim Stephens and director Toni Portmann will no longer be standing for re-election and an attempt to use its reduced slate as an excuse to induce shareholders to vote its proxy card. Make no mistake, only a vote on the GOLD proxy card will allow us to change a majority of the current discredited Board and only an overhaul of the entire Board will allow us to cease the value destructive current strategy.

In encouraging stockholders to vote the GOLD proxy card to elect all five of VIEX's nominees, Eric Singer, founder of VIEX, commented "We are confident that stockholders see through the Board's latest attempt to maintain the Company's current failed strategic direction. Chairman Stephens and Ms. Portmann stepping down still leaves four directors in place who were hand-picked by the same individuals who oversaw the continuous destruction of value at the Company. Management's revised slate still lacks alignment with stockholders and consists of individuals who have remained committed to a plan that is projected to cause the Company to lose up to an additional $14 million between now and the end of 2017." Mr. Singer continued, "Support.com stockholders cannot risk maintaining the current failed strategic direction – the Board must be replaced with directors willing to implement a new plan for the Company. Our five nominees bring complementary skills that together build an optimal Board possessing senior executive and operational expertise, a stockholder mindset, financial acumen and public board experience. We urge our fellow stockholders to vote the GOLD proxy card today to elect our highly qualified nominees who are committed to representing the best interests of all stockholders."

VIEX reminds stockholders of ISS's conclusion that change is warranted and too urgent to be entrusted to the current Board: "The dissidents have not only provided a compelling case that change at the board level is warranted, but have, in making that case, also demonstrated the need may be too urgent to rely on a process controlled by directors who prior to this contest apparently saw little need for change at all."

To VIEX, the announced decision of Chairman Stephens and Ms. Portmann not to stand for re-election represents an attempt by the incumbent directors to control the manner in which the composition of the Board is adjusted – something VIEX believes must be dictated by the stockholders. VIEX remains concerned that it will be more of the same and the destruction of stockholder value will persist until the Board is reconstituted with new leadership willing to take a fresh look at the Company's strategic options.

The market has spoken and now proxy advisory firms are doing the same – the TIME FOR CHANGE IS NOW. Support.com's current failed strategy has proven untenable – vote the GOLD proxy card in support of a professional, experienced and stockholder friendly group that will bring a stockholder's perspective to the boardroom. VIEX cautions the Board against taking any further unilateral and reactive measures prior to the annual meeting on June 24, 2016 that may serve to delay or impede the will of the Company's stockholders.
