To all eligible EDS employees

Yesterday, our shareholders approved the proposed EDS Stock Option Exchange Program at the annual shareholder meeting. I’m pleased to tell you that you will be eligible to participate in the program when it is rolled out in late August.

This program will allow you to voluntarily exchange outstanding eligible stock options for a lesser number of new stock options. We anticipate the new options will be granted in the first quarter of 2004.

Stock options from PerformanceShare, Global Share grants in 2000 and 2001, EDS Transition Incentive Plan with an exercise price of $33.00 per share or higher, and EDS Incentive Plan grants before 1 October 2002 with an exercise price of $33.00 per share or higher are eligible for the exchange program. In addition, the expiration date of the Global Share stock options granted in 2000 and 2001 that were originally scheduled to expire on 1 August 2003 has been extended to 31 December 2003. This extension will permit those stock option holders to participate in the exchange program.

Certain senior executives, members of the Board of Directors, and former employees are not eligible to participate in the stock option exchange program.

No action is required on your part at this time. Plans call for details of the program and related tender offer materials to be distributed to you the week of 25 August 2003. If you decide to exchange your stock options, you will have approximately one month to make your election.

Sincerely,

Michael E. Paolucci
