As previously announced, concurrently with the exchange offer Unisys is privately offering New Secured Notes (the “Concurrent Notes Offering”) to eligible holders of the 2015 Notes and the 2016 Notes.

The Company and its representatives continue to be in discussions with representatives of holders of Senior Notes regarding the proposed transaction.

Senior Notes tendered in the exchange offer and subscriptions submitted in the Concurrent Notes Offering may not be withdrawn. As of the close of business on June 12, 2009, the Company was advised by the exchange agent for the exchange offer and the Concurrent Notes Offering that approximately $35.7 million, $33.5 million, $0.6 million and $3.4 million in aggregate principal amount of 2010 Notes, 2012 Notes, 2015 Notes and 2016 Notes, respectively, had been tendered and not validly withdrawn.

The complete terms and conditions of the exchange offer and the Concurrent Notes Offering are, except as modified by this press release, set forth solely in the confidential offering circular dated April 30, 2009 (as it may be supplemented and amended from time to time, the “Offering Circular”) and the accompanying letter of transmittal and subscription agreement (as it may be supplemented and amended from time to time, the “Letter of Transmittal” and, together with the Offering Circular, the “Offering Documents”). Offering Documents have been distributed only to holders of Senior Notes who completed a form confirming that they are within the category of eligible holders for this private offer. The exchange offer and the Concurrent Notes Offering are made only by, and pursuant to, the terms set forth in the Offering Circular, and the information in this press release is qualified by reference to the Offering Documents. Subject to applicable law, Unisys may amend, extend or terminate the exchange offer and the Concurrent Notes Offering.

The exchange offer and the Concurrent Notes Offering are being made, and the New Secured Notes are being offered and issued within the United States only to “qualified institutional buyers” pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States to non-U.S. investors.
