nuBridges Founder Gifts $2.5 Million to Clemson University for Computing Research

ATLANTA, GA, Aug 27 (MARKET WIRE) --
nuBridges, Inc., the secure eBusiness authority, announced today that the
C. Tycho Howle family has made a gift of $2.5 million to Clemson
University for the establishment of two endowed chairs that will benefit
computing research. C. Tycho Howle is founder, chairman and CEO of
nuBridges, a leading provider of software and managed services for data
protection and secure digital information exchange.

"This truly generous contribution from the Howle family exemplifies the
long-time leader Tycho Howle has been within the Clemson community," said
President James F. Barker. "It is the ultimate gift that embodies what we
are about at Clemson. We are extremely grateful."

"My life's work has been the application of computer technology to help
make companies more efficient and more responsive," said Howle. "As
computer technology continues to advance, I like the notion of smart
people continuing to apply those advances to take on difficult and
challenging societal needs. My career and accomplishments are all due to
the great education I received. My life would have been entirely
different had I not had the benefit of my Clemson education."

The Clemson gift is the latest in more than 450 grants the C. Tycho and
Marie Howle Foundation has awarded since the mid-1990s, when Tycho and his
wife Marie decided to set aside a portion of their income each year to
establish a foundation for charitable causes. The family has been a
generous supporter of education, healthcare, the homeless, youth and the
arts. More than 60 percent of the family's gifts are to organizations
serving the Atlanta area, including highly respected organizations such as
Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, the Alzheimer's Association Georgia
Chapter, Atlanta Union Mission and the Atlanta Symphony.

"As we strategize our contributions, we like to think of approaches that
motivate others to give too," said Howle. "On several occasions we have
spearheaded matching-funds programs where we match contributions that
others give, and thus make their contributions go farther. It's rewarding
to see our grants cause a multiplier effect that increases the impact on
the important missions of the organizations we support."

Gene Hayes, president of the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Foundation,
has worked with Tycho and Marie Howle for nearly a decade to help raise
money for a constantly growing number of children that Children's serves.

"Tycho is a leader by example, always doing first before reaching out to
his friends, business relationships and the wider community," said Hayes.
"He is not only generous, but also highly engaged with the mission of our
not-for-profit organization. By asking questions to achieve a deeper level
of personal understanding, he constantly elevates our collective thinking,
which drives a higher vision of the possibilities we can achieve at
Children's. When Tycho and Marie established a challenge grant in 2001 to
encourage five-figure individual donations, none of us realized how
successful the program would be and how quickly. Today, due in great part
to Tycho's innovation, we now have more than 350 donors making annual
donations to Children's of more than $10,000 each."

The Howle's have also worked closely with the Alzheimer's Association
Georgia Chapter through its annual J. Paul Austin Invitational Golf
Tournament. According to Sam Austin, president of the tournament and past
state chair of the Alzheimer's Association Georgia Chapter, the Howle
family has been instrumental in raising money for the organization.

"Tycho and Marie's support of the J. Paul Austin Invitational Golf
Tournament serves as a tremendous catalyst to jump start the event each
year and is instrumental in helping us reach our goals for the Alzheimer's
Association," said Austin. "With their unwavering support, we've raised
more than $2 million over the past 14 years. Their contribution is nothing
short of a lifesaver year after year."

Tycho Howle received his B.S. in physics and an M.S. in systems
engineering, a degree program previously in the electrical and computer
engineering department, from Clemson University in 1971. He also holds an
M.B.A. from the Harvard Business School. A native of Lancaster, S.C., he
and Marie, reside in Atlanta and have two daughters, Meredith Russell and
Dana Sample, all of whom are actively involved with the C. Tycho and Marie
Howle Foundation.
