Epicor Software Corporation ("Epicor") (NASDAQ: EPIC), a leading provider of
enterprise business software solutions for the midmarket and divisions of the
Global 1000, today announced that it has received notification from the U.S.
Federal Trade Commission of early termination of the waiting period under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 ("HSR"), as amended,
relating to the proposed acquisition of NSB Retail Systems PLC (London Stock
Exchange: NSB RETAIL) by Epicor acting through its wholly owned subsidiary,
Epicor Retail Solutions, Inc. Completion of the HSR review satisfies a
regulatory review condition to completion of the transaction, which is being
effected by means of a scheme of arrangement under section 425 of the Companies
Act 1985.

Implementation of the proposals for Epicor to acquire NSB remains subject to
Court approval, which is expected to be obtained by February 7, 2008. Subject to
such approval, the effective date of the acquisition is expected to be February
7, 2008.

The Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "Act")
was adopted to provide the U.S. Federal government with the opportunity to
review the potential effects in the United States on competition of certain
mergers, acquisitions or other consolidations that meet the Act's size and other
tests before such transactions are completed.
