SAN JOSE, Calif., May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- SDL, Inc. (Nasdaq: SDLI) held its
annual meeting of stockholders today.  All resolutions under consideration
were passed including the proposal to increase the company's authorized
capital stock to permit consummation of the previously announced two-for-one
stock split.
    The stock split, in the form of a stock dividend, was previously approved
by the Board of Directors but depended upon the company's stockholders
approving an increase in the company's authorized shares of Common Stock.  As
previously announced, the stock split will increase the number of SDL shares
outstanding from approximately 14,650,000 to approximately 29,300,000 shares.
The record date for the stock split is May 14, 1999.  The expected mailing
date of certificates representing the additional shares will be June 2, 1999,
and SDL's Common Stock will begin trading on a post-split basis on June 3,
1999.
