The Company and its directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies in respect of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Information regarding the Company’s directors and executive officers is contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and its proxy statement dated April 26, 2005, which are filed with the SEC.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this document regarding the proposed Merger, the expected effects, timing and completion of the proposed transaction and any other statements about SS&C’s future expectations, beliefs, goals, plans or prospects constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact (including statements containing the words “believes,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates” and similar expressions) should also be considered to be forward-looking statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including: the ability to consummate the proposed transaction due to the failure to obtain

stockholder approval, the failure of Parent to consummate the necessary debt financing arrangements set forth in a commitment letter received by Parent or the failure to satisfy other conditions to the closing of the proposed transaction, the ability to recognize the benefits of the transaction, intense competition in SS&C’s industry, changes in government regulation, failure to manage the integration of acquired companies and other risks that are contained in documents and the other factors described in SS&C’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and its most recent quarterly report filed with the SEC. In addition, any forward-looking statements represent SS&C’s estimates only as of today and should not be relied upon as representing SS&C’s estimates as of any subsequent date. SS&C disclaims any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the date of this filing.
