Onyx Responds to CDC Statement

BELLEVUE, WA - December 28, 2005 - Onyx® Software Corporation (NASDAQ: ONXS), a worldwide leader in customer management solutions for the enterprise, today announced its response to the statement issued earlier today by CDC Corporation (NASDAQ: CHINA).

Over the past year Onyx has been successfully executing a clear growth strategy, as evidenced by strong double digit growth in license revenue through the first three quarters of 2005, significant improvements in operating results, recent "Buy" ratings announced by both Zacks Investment Research and Roth Capital, and the addition of many new brand name customers. In this context, it is not surprising that CDC expressed an interest in Onyx.

Regarding the unsolicited proposal from CDC, Onyx shall consider this proposal as it would any opportunity that may present itself. Onyx received CDC's unsolicited proposal on Dec. 6, 2005 and a meeting had been scheduled to discuss this proposal. Onyx remains committed to gathering all information necessary in order for Onyx's Board to determine the best interests of Onyx shareholders.

As announced in its third quarter 2005 earnings call, Onyx continues to explore options that include organic growth, partner expansion and acquisitions of other companies that deliver real value to our customers and maximize shareholder value. Onyx management and Board of Directors remain firmly committed to executing the growth strategy we have communicated to our customers, partners, shareholders, and employees.
