Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

Effective April 17, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed Martin O’Malley to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. O’Malley has also been appointed to be a member of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee is now comprised of Kevin C. Eichler, Mr. O’Malley, Manuel Diaz, and James Thanos. Mr. Eichler is Chairman of the Audit Committee. Each member of the Audit Committee meets applicable qualification requirements and is independent as defined by the rules and regulations applicable to audit committee membership.

On April 24, 2006, Mr. Claude Leglise informed the Company’s Board of Directors that he will not stand for re-election to the Board of Directors at the Company’s upcoming 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 23, 2006. Mr. Leglise informed the Company that after serving five years on the Board of Directors, he intends to focus on venture capital investing activities with private companies in China in his role as a Managing Director of WI Harper, a venture capital firm, which will prevent him from having the time necessary to continue serving as a member of the SupportSoft Board. Mr. Leglise intends to continue to serve on the Board as well as the Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board until SupportSoft’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
