ii 3 To the Holders of Common Stock of AMDAHL CORPORATION: INTRODUCTION The following information amends and supplements the Offer to Purchase dated August 5, 1997 (the "Offer to Purchase") of Fujitsu International, Inc. (the "Purchaser"), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Fujitsu Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of Japan (the "Parent"). Pursuant to this Supplement, the Purchaser is now offering to purchase any and all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $.05 per share (the "Shares"), of Amdahl Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at a price of $12.40 per Share, net to the seller in cash (the "Offer Price"), without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, as amended and supplemented by this Supplement, and in the revised Letter of Transmittal (which together, as amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute the "Offer"). EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS SUPPLEMENT, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS PREVIOUSLY SET FORTH IN THE OFFER TO PURCHASE REMAIN APPLICABLE IN ALL RESPECTS TO THE OFFER, AND THIS SUPPLEMENT SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE OFFER TO PURCHASE. UNLESS THE CONTEXT REQUIRES OTHERWISE, TERMS NOT DEFINED HEREIN HAVE THE MEANINGS ASCRIBED TO THEM IN THE OFFER TO PURCHASE. Procedures for tendering Shares are set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase and this Supplement. Tendering stockholders may use either the original (blue) Letter of Transmittal and the original (grey) Notice of Guaranteed Delivery previously circulated with the Offer to Purchase, or the revised (yellow) Letter of Transmittal and the revised (beige) Notice of Guaranteed Delivery circulated with this Supplement. While the original (blue) Letter of Transmittal refers only to the Offer to Purchase dated August 5, 1997, stockholders using such document to tender their Shares will nevertheless receive $12.40 net per Share for each Share validly tendered and not properly withdrawn and accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, subject to the conditions of the Offer. References made herein to the Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery shall include references to both the original and revised versions of such documents as circulated with the Offer to Purchase and this Supplement, respectively. SHARES PREVIOUSLY VALIDLY TENDERED AND NOT PROPERLY WITHDRAWN CONSTITUTE VALID TENDERS FOR PURPOSES OF THE OFFER. STOCKHOLDERS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO TAKE ANY FURTHER ACTION WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SHARES IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE INCREASED OFFER PRICE OF $12.40 NET PER SHARE IF SHARES ARE ACCEPTED FOR PAYMENT AND PAID FOR BY THE PURCHASER PURSUANT TO THE OFFER, EXCEPT AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY THE GUARANTEED DELIVERY PROCEDURE IF SUCH PROCEDURE WAS UTILIZED. SEE SECTION 3 OF THIS SUPPLEMENT. SEE SECTION 4 OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE FOR THE PROCEDURES FOR WITHDRAWING SHARES TENDERED PURSUANT TO THE OFFER. The discussion set forth in the Introduction of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: In the Merger, at the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding Share (except for shares held in the treasury of the Company or by any subsidiary thereof, Shares registered in the name of the Parent or the Purchaser, and Shares held by stockholders who shall have properly demanded and perfected appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL) will automatically be canceled and converted into the right to receive $12.40 in cash (or any higher per Share price paid for Shares pursuant to the Offer), net to the holder, without interest. See "SPECIAL FACTORS -- The Merger Agreement." THE OFFER IS CONDITIONED UPON, AMONG OTHER THINGS, (I) THE SATISFACTION OR WAIVER OF THE MINIMUM CONDITION, (II) THE EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION OF ANY APPLICABLE WAITING PERIOD UNDER THE EXON-FLORIO ACT, AND (III) RECEIPT 4 OF ANY REQUISITE APPROVALS OF THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION AND THE BANK OF JAPAN. THE OFFER ALSO IS SUBJECT TO THE OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS DESCRIBED IN THE OFFER TO PURCHASE. AS DESCRIBED IN SECTIONS 10 AND 11 OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE, THE OFFER IS ALSO CONDITIONED UPON THE EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION OF ANY APPLICABLE WAITING PERIOD UNDER THE HSR ACT. THIS CONDITION WAS SATISFIED ON AUGUST 11, 1997, WHEN THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION GRANTED THE PARENT EARLY TERMINATION OF THE WAITING PERIOD UNDER THE HSR ACT. SEE SECTIONS 10 AND 11 OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE AND THIS SUPPLEMENT. The Company has advised the Purchaser that, as of August 20, 1997, (i) the number of Shares issued and outstanding was 123,067,004, (ii) there were outstanding options (the "Options") to purchase an aggregate of 10,175,038 Shares held under the Company Option Plans and (iii) 5,433,019 Shares were available for issuance under the Company's Stock Purchase Plan. As of August 20, 1997, all of the executive officers and directors of the Company as a group owned 697,014 Shares and held Options to purchase 1,810,698 Shares (whether or not vested). The Company has advised the Purchaser that, to the best of the Company's knowledge, and subject to applicable securities laws, all of the directors constituting the Disinterested Board and all of the executive officers of the Company presently intend to tender pursuant to the Offer all Shares owned by such persons. See "SPECIAL FACTORS -- Interest of Certain Persons in the Offer and the Merger." Accordingly, based on issued and outstanding Shares, including those held by executive officers and directors of the Company (as described above), and on outstanding options to purchase Shares that will vest prior to the Expiration Date (assuming the Offer expires on September 12, 1997 and assuming the exercise of those options with exercise prices less than $12.40), in each case as of August 20, 1997, the Minimum Condition will be satisfied if, in addition to the Shares held by the executive officers and directors of the Company, approximately 11,691,422 Shares are validly tendered in the Offer and not withdrawn. THE OFFER TO PURCHASE, THIS SUPPLEMENT, AND THE RELATED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION WHICH SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ANY DECISION IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE OFFER. 2 5 SPECIAL FACTORS BACKGROUND OF THE OFFER AND MERGER; PAST CONTACTS, TRANSACTIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE COMPANY The last sentence of the last paragraph on page 3 of the Offer to Purchase under the caption "SPECIAL FACTORS -- Background of the Offer and the Merger, Past Contacts, Transactions and Negotiations with the Company -- Relationship Between the Company and the Parent and its Subsidiaries" is hereby amended and restated to read as follows: Currently the Parent holds 51,811,664 Shares, representing 42.10% of the outstanding Shares (based on the number of Shares outstanding on August 20, 1997, as advised by the Company). The fifth paragraph on page 9 of the Offer to Purchase under the caption "SPECIAL FACTORS -- Background of the Offer and the Merger; Past Contacts, Transactions and Negotiations with the Company -- Background and Negotiations relating to the Offer and the Merger" is hereby amended and restated to read as follows: At a meeting of the Disinterested Board held on July 15, 1997, Morgan Stanley reported their preliminary estimates of valuation based on the analysis that Morgan Stanley was asked on July 8, 1997 to perform. These estimates were based on, among other things, financial projections prepared by the Company on July 3, 1997 for use in connection with this transaction (the "July 3 Projections") and a risk analysis prepared by the Company and Morgan Stanley designed to quantify various risks associated with achieving the July 3 Projections. Morgan Stanley at that time noted that it was unlikely that a spin-off of either the products business or the software and services business, could be effected on a tax-free basis, nor could any such spin-off be effected without the support of the Parent. In addition, Morgan Stanley noted that the value of the products business depended on assumptions concerning new or additional financial responsibilities and contractual agreements that might be undertaken by the Parent and that the value of the software and services business was adversely impacted by its recent unprofitability. The second full paragraph on page 11 of the Offer to Purchase under the caption "SPECIAL FACTORS -- Background of the Offer and the Merger; Past Contacts, Transactions and Negotiations with the Company -- Background and Negotiations relating to the Offer and the Merger" is hereby amended and restated to read as follows: At a telephonic meeting of the Disinterested Board held at 6 a.m. (California time) on July 30, 1997, Morgan Stanley reviewed in detail its financial analysis of the proposed Offer and Merger. As described in the section entitled "Opinion of Financial Advisor to the Disinterested Board," Morgan Stanley's financial analysis of the proposed Offer and Merger was based, in part, on various financial and operating scenarios prepared by the Company's management and its advisors. These scenarios included the July 3 Projections, the risk analysis described above prepared by the Company and Morgan Stanley, and a sensitivity analysis prepared by Morgan Stanley based, in part, on the July 3 Projections and using estimates of projected industry performance. The sensitivity analysis projected the least favorable financial performance for the Company. See "Opinion of Financial Advisor to the Disinterested Board." At the conclusion of its presentation, Morgan Stanley delivered to the Disinterested Board its oral opinion (which was subsequently confirmed in writing) to the effect that the proposed consideration to be received by the Company's stockholders (other than the Parent and its affiliates) in the Offer and the Merger is fair from a financial point of view to the stockholders (other than the Parent and its affiliates). Morgan Stanley's opinion regarding fairness from a financial point of view rested in part on "implied valuation ranges," which reflected Morgan Stanley's judgment as applied to various valuation methodologies. See "Opinion of Financial Advisor to the Disinterested Board." Overall, these valuations generally produced ranges from $7.00 to $13.00. In comparing the Company to other companies, Morgan Stanley used multiples from certain publicly traded computer hardware companies, as described in the section headed "Opinion of Financial Advisor to the Disinterested Board." The Disinterested Board also reviewed the draft of the Merger Agreement that had been distributed to them by facsimile. The Disinterested Board heard a legal presentation by a representative of Brobeck with respect to its members' fiduciary duties and the terms of the proposed Offer and Merger. The Disinterested Board discussed the terms of the Merger Agreement and requested certain changes, which were subsequently agreed to by the Parent. 3 6 Based on such discussions, presentations and opinion, the Disinterested Board unanimously (i) approved the Offer, the Merger and the Merger Agreement, in substantially the form presented to the Disinterested Board, and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) determined that the terms of the Offer and the Merger are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders (other than the Parent and its affiliates) and (iii) recommended that the Company's stockholders accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer and approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. The sixth paragraph on page 11 of the Offer to Purchase under the caption "SPECIAL FACTORS -- Background of the Offer and the Merger; Past Contacts, Transactions and Negotiations with the Company" is hereby amended and restated to read as follows: Certain Litigation. Shortly after the July 30, 1997 public announcement that the Parent proposed to acquire those Shares of the Company that it did not already own, several putative class actions were filed in various courts challenging the fairness of the proposed transaction to the Company stockholders. After the filing of such actions, counsel for the plaintiffs and counsel for the defendants in such actions engaged in expedited discovery for the purposes of preparing for a hearing on plaintiffs' request for preliminary injunctive relief. During this discovery period, counsel for the plaintiffs and counsel for the defendants engaged in extensive discussions regarding the possibility of settling such actions. On August 20, 1997, the parties reached an agreement-in-principle concerning the proposed settlement of certain of such actions. Pursuant to such agreement-in-principle, the Purchaser has elected under the Merger Agreement to increase the Offer Price from $12.00 per Share to $12.40 per Share. See Section 11. OPINION OF FINANCIAL ADVISOR TO THE DISINTERESTED BOARD The first sentence of the first full paragraph on page 18 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and restated to read as follows: Pursuant to a letter agreement dated July 1, 1997, the Company has agreed to pay Morgan Stanley a transaction fee, payable upon consummation of the Merger, of approximately $4.1 million, which is based on the consideration to be received by the holders of Shares other than the Parent and the Purchaser. INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE OFFER AND THE MERGER The last sentence of the fourth full paragraph on page 23 of the Offer to Purchase under the immediately foregoing caption is hereby amended and restated to read as follows: Such former directors included Mr. Keizo Fukagawa, who currently holds options to purchase 15,000 Shares, all of which are currently vested, of which 5,000 are exercisable for an exercise price over $12.40 per Share, while 5,000 are exercisable for $12.1875 per Share and 5,000 are exercisable for $7.125 per Share; and Mr. Kazuto Kojima, who currently holds (a) options to purchase 5,000 Shares at an exercise price of $5.3125 per Share, exercisable for a period of three months commencing on June 29, 1997, and (b) options to purchase 2,500 Shares at an exercise price of $12.1875 per Share and options to purchase 5,000 Shares at exercise prices above $12.40 per Share, exercisable for a period of six months commencing on June 29, 1997. The last two sentences of the carry-over paragraph at the top of page 24 of the Offer to Purchase under the subcaption "Interests of Board Members with Respect to Compensation and Shares" is hereby amended and restated to read as follows: Of these, options to purchase 70,000 Shares are exercisable at a price which is above the Offer Price and will, therefore, not give rise to the right to receive such excess. See "-- The Merger Agreement -- Effects on Securities; Stock Options and Stock Participation Plans." The first paragraph and the table appearing immediately thereafter on page 25 of the Offer to Purchase are hereby amended and restated to read as follows: To the knowledge of the Company, as of August 20, 1997, the current directors and officers of the Company, as a group, beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over 697,014 4 7 Shares, not including unexercised options, representing approximately 0.6% of the outstanding Shares.

The first and second paragraphs on page 59 of the Offer to Purchase under the immediately foregoing caption are hereby amended and restated to read as follows: Shortly after the July 30, 1997 public announcement that the Parent proposed to acquire those Shares of the Company that it did not already own, several putative class actions were filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery and in the California Superior Court for the County of Santa Clara challenging the fairness of the proposed transaction to Company stockholders. Cases filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery as of August 19, 1997 are: Lopez v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15833NC), filed July 30, 1997; Kaltman v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15834NC), filed July 30, 1997; Uzzo v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15837), filed July 31, 1997; O'Shea v. Kojima, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15838), filed July 31, 1997; Gachot & Gachot, Inc. v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15839), filed July 31, 1997; Crandon Capital Partners v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15840), filed July 31, 1997; Bodakian v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15841), filed July 31, 1997; McCeady v. Amdahl Corp. (Civ. Act. No. 15845), filed July 31, 1997; Zicherman v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15847NC), filed August 1, 1997; Halebian v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15850NC), filed August 1, 1997; Cohen v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15851NC), filed August 4, 1997, and Millet v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15857), filed August 5, 1997. Cases filed in the California Superior Court for the County of Santa Clara as of August 1, 1997 are: Lacoff v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Case No. CV767860), filed July 30, 1997; and Silverman v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Case No. CV767896), filed August 1, 1997. In substance, the complaints allege that because of the Parent's ownership of approximately 42% of the Company, the relationship between the Parent and the Company and the alleged control of the Parent over the Company's officers and directors, the Parent dictated the terms of the transaction and that those terms do not reflect the fair value of the Company. The complaints also allege that the defendants -- the Parent, the Company and several individuals serving as officers or directors of one or more of those companies -- possess material non-public information regarding the fair value of the Company and breached their fiduciary and other duties to the public stockholders of the Company by failing to take adequate steps to determine the fair value of the Company or to condition the Offer on acceptance by holders of a majority of the Shares held by persons other than the Parent and its affiliates. The relief sought by the plaintiffs includes an injunction against the acquisition of Shares by the Parent; an injunction requiring that certain steps be taken to evaluate the value of the Company; a declaration that defendants have breached their fiduciary and other duties; an accounting for damages; compensatory and/or rescissionary damages; costs of suit; and attorneys' and experts' fees in unspecified amounts. By Order dated August 8, 1997, the Delaware Court of Chancery granted a motion for expedited discovery by the plaintiffs in several of the Delaware actions and set a hearing for a motion for a preliminary injunction in several of the Delaware actions on August 28, 1997, at 11:00 a.m. On August 11, 1997, the California Superior Court in the Lacoff and Silverman actions entered Orders holding proceedings in abeyance pending a decision by the Delaware Court of Chancery on plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction in several of the Delaware actions. Following the filing of such actions, counsel for the plaintiffs and counsel for the defendants in such actions engaged in expedited discovery for the purposes of preparing for a hearing on plaintiffs' request for preliminary injunctive relief. During this discovery period, counsel for the plaintiffs and counsel for the defendants engaged in extensive discussions regarding the possibility of settling such actions. On August 20, 1997, counsel for the plaintiffs in certain of such actions entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with counsel for the defendants providing for a proposed settlement of such actions. 9 12 The MOU provides for, among other things, (i) the filing of a consolidated amended complaint in Delaware and the dismissal of the actions in California, (ii) the creation of a settlement class composed of certain owners of Shares, (iii) the increase in the Offer Price to $12.40 per Share from $12.00 per Share, (iv) certain disclosure to be disseminated to stockholders of the Company (such disclosure is included in this Supplement), (v) the certification of the consolidated actions, for settlement purposes only, as a class action, and such action to be dismissed with prejudice, (vi) a release of the defendants and others, (vii) defendants' agreement not to oppose an application by plaintiffs' counsel for an award of fees not exceeding $7 million and $250,000 in expenses, and (viii) the option of the Parent and the Purchaser to withdraw from the settlement if the holders of more than 20% of the Shares owned at the time of the Merger by persons other than the defendants demand appraisal rights. The MOU and the proposed settlement are conditioned on, among other things, final approval by the Delaware Chancery Court. The foregoing description of the MOU is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the MOU, which has been filed as an exhibit to the Schedule 14D-1. SECTION 12. FEES AND EXPENSES. The discussion set forth on pages 59 and 60 of the Offer to Purchase under the immediately foregoing caption is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: In addition to the expenses described above, pursuant to the MOU, the defendants in the actions described therein have agreed not to oppose an application by plaintiffs' counsel for an award of fees not exceeding $7 million and $250,000 in expenses to be paid by the Company, the Purchaser or the Parent. SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS. The discussion set forth on page 60 of the Offer to Purchase under the immediately foregoing caption is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: The Parent and the Purchaser have filed with the SEC amendments to the Schedule 14D-1, together with exhibits, pursuant to Section 14(d)(1) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14d-3 promulgated thereunder, furnishing certain additional information with respect to the Offer and may file further amendments thereto. The Parent, the Purchaser and the Company have filed with the SEC amendments to the Schedule 13E-3, together with exhibits, pursuant to Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, furnishing certain additional information with respect to the Offer and may file further amendments thereto.

NO PERSON HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED TO GIVE ANY INFORMATION OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION ON BEHALF OF THE PARENT OR THE PURCHASER OTHER THAN AS CONTAINED IN THE OFFER TO PURCHASE, THIS SUPPLEMENT OR IN THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND, IF GIVEN OR MADE, SUCH INFORMATION OR REPRESENTATION MUST NOT BE RELIED UPON AS HAVING BEEN AUTHORIZED BY THE PURCHASER OR THE PARENT. Except as modified by this Supplement and any amendments to the Schedule 14D-1, the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase remain applicable in all respects to the Offer, and this Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Offer to Purchase and the revised (yellow) Letter of Transmittal.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. I-5 18 AMDAHL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) The accompanying interim financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company's 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders. RELATIONSHIP WITH FUJITSU LIMITED During the second quarter of 1997 the Company recognized equipment sales to Fujitsu Limited (Fujitsu) under distributorship and other arrangements which contributed $1,700,000 to equipment sales compared to $1,830,000 in the second quarter of 1996 ($6,854,000 and $9,316,000 for the first six months of 1997 and 1996, respectively). Fujitsu reimburses Amdahl for certain specific engineering development activities performed by Amdahl from time to time related to products which are being jointly developed by Amdahl and Fujitsu. In connection with these development efforts, Amdahl recorded $6,832,000 as an offset to engineering and development expenses in the second quarter of 1997, compared to $6,200,000 in the second quarter of 1996 ($15,735,000 and $12,400,000 for the first six months of 1997 and 1996, respectively). In March 1997 Amdahl granted Fujitsu a license for certain storage system software for use in conjunction with Fujitsu's proprietary operating system for $4,700,000. This amount was recognized in first quarter 1997 as software revenue. In addition, Fujitsu has agreed to pay Amdahl a total of $18,200,000 during 1997 in compensation for changes requested by Fujitsu to development schedules for storage products currently being developed by Fujitsu for the Company under existing joint development programs. Of this compensation, the Company recorded $6,000,000 as an offset to engineering and development expenses in the second quarter of 1997 ($12,200,000 for the first six months of 1997, of which 6,000,000 was recorded as an offset to engineering and development expenses and $6,200,000 was recorded as an offset to equipment cost of revenues). Amounts due from Fujitsu and their subsidiaries included in receivables were $24,218,000 and $43,906,000 as of June 27,1997 and December 27, 1996, respectively. At June 27, 1997 and December 27, 1996, $80,000,000 was outstanding under the loan agreement with Fujitsu. The terms of the loan were renegotiated in January 1997, and the full amount is payable in January 1998. Interest expense associated with the loan was $1,400,000 and $1,364,000 in the second quarters of 1997 and 1996, respectively ($2,775,000 and $2,922,000 in the first six months of 1997 and 1996, respectively). SUPPLEMENTARY CASH FLOW DISCLOSURE Income taxes of $9,525,000 (net of taxes refunded of $557,000) were paid by the Company in the first six months of 1997, and income taxes of $3,162,000 (net of taxes refunded of $7,021,000) were paid by the Company in the first six months of 1996. Interest paid on all borrowings was $4,713,000 and $4,842,000 for the first six months of 1997 and 1996, respectively. NONCASH INVESTING ACTIVITIES Net inventory capitalized into property, plant and equipment was $7,002,000 in the second quarter of 1997, compared to a net transfer of Amdahl-manufactured systems from net property, plant and equipment to inventories of $3,771,000 in the second quarter of 1996. Net inventory capitalized into property, plant and equipment was $19,603,000 in the first six months of 1997 and $3,174,000 in the first six months of 1996. I-6 19 AMDAHL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS On April 16, 1997, Amdahl's professional services company, DMR Trecom, Inc., acquired William J. Kelley & Co., Inc. (Kelley), a Boston-based information technology firm. Under the stock purchase agreement, $3 million of the purchase price was paid in April 1997 and $2.1 million is payable without interest in April 1998. The present value of the aggregate purchase price at the acquisition date, including acquisition costs, was $5.5 million. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, a portion of the purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On July 30, 1997 the Company and Fujitsu entered into a merger agreement whereby Fujitsu, through one of its subsidiaries, will purchase for $12.00 per share in cash all outstanding shares of Amdahl stock not currently owned by Fujitsu for approximately $850 million. The merger agreement was unanimously approved by the Amdahl directors who are unaffiliated with Fujitsu. In accordance with the agreement, Fujitsu commenced a tender offer on Tuesday, August 5, 1997. The tender offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m. EDT, Friday, September 5, 1997, unless extended. Pursuant to the merger agreement, if the tender offer is consummated, Fujitsu will be obligated to acquire any remaining Amdahl shares in a cash merger at the same price as the tender offer. Fujitsu currently owns approximately 42 percent of Amdahl's shares. The tender offer is subject to several conditions, including the tender of a minimum number of shares that, when added to Fujitsu's existing 42 percent stake, will represent 51 percent of the outstanding Amdahl shares on a fully diluted basis, and other customary conditions. The merger agreement further provides that upon acquisition of the minimum number of shares by Fujitsu's subsidiary, that subsidiary will be merged with and into the Company, and the separate corporate existence of the subsidiary shall cease with Amdahl continuing as the surviving corporation. Shortly after the July 30, 1997 public announcement that Fujitsu proposed to acquire those shares of the Company that it did not already own, several putative class actions were filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery and in the California Superior Court for the County of Santa Clara challenging the fairness of the proposed transaction to Company stockholders. Cases filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery as of August 1, 1997 are: Lopez v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15833NC), filed July 30, 1997; Kaltman v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15834NC), filed July 30, 1997; Uzzo v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15837, filed July 31, 1997; O'Shea v. Kojima, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15838), filed July 31, 1997; Gachot & Gachot, Inc. v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15839), filed July 31, 1997; Crandon Capital Partners v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15840), filed July 31, 1997; Bodakian v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15841), filed July 31, 1997; McCeady v. Amdahl Corp. (Civ. Act. No. 15845), filed July 31, 1997; Zicherman v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15847NC), filed August 1, 1997 and Halebian v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15850NC), filed August 1, 1997. Cases filed in the California Superior Court for the county of Santa Clara as of August 1, 1997 are: Lacoff v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Case No. CV767860), filed July 30, 1997; and Silverman v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Case No. CV767896), filed August 1, 1997. In substance, the complaints allege that because of Fujitsu's ownership of approximately 42% of the Company, the relationship between Fujitsu and the Company and the alleged control of Fujitsu over the Company's officers and directors, Fujitsu dictated the terms of the transaction and that those terms do not reflect the fair value of the Company. The complaints also allege that the defendants -- Fujitsu, the Company and several individuals serving as officers or directors of one or more of those companies -- possess material non-public information regarding the fair value of the Company and breached their fiduciary and other duties to the public stockholders of the Company by failing to take adequate steps to determine the fair value of the Company or to condition the offer on acceptance by holders of a majority of the shares held by persons other than Fujitsu and its affiliates. The relief sought by the I-7 20 AMDAHL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) plaintiffs includes an injunction against the acquisition of shares by Fujitsu; an injunction requiring that certain steps be taken to evaluate the value of the Company; a declaration that defendants have breached their fiduciary and other duties; an accounting for damages; compensatory and/or rescissionary damages; costs of suit; and attorneys' and experts' fees in unspecified amounts. The Company believes, and understands that Fujitsu believes, that all of these suits are without merit and intends to vigorously defend such suits. On May 5, 1997 a jury rendered a verdict in favor of one of the Company's suppliers in the amount of $3.8 million as a result of a lawsuit arising out of a contract dispute. The Company was also liable for interest and attorneys' fees but was entitled to a credit for equipment returned by the Company and either resold or utilized by the supplier for other purposes. Pursuant to a settlement and release agreement, the Company made a final payment to the supplier of $4.8 million on July 22, 1997. Full provision for the settlement and related legal costs have been recognized in the Company's financial statements. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In February 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings per Share, which will be adopted by the Company in the fourth quarter of 1997. SFAS No. 128 requires companies to compute net income per share under two different methods, basic and diluted, and to disclose the methodology used for the calculation. If SFAS No. 128 had been applied by the Company during the second quarter and six months ended June 27, 1997 and June 28, 1996, basic net income per share and diluted net income per share would not have changed from what has been reported. In July 1997 the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, was issued and is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997. The adoption of SFAS No. 130 is not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements.

Pursuant to such procedure: (i) such tender must be made by or through an Eligible Institution; (ii) a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, substantially in the form made available by the Purchaser, must be received by the Depositary prior to the Expiration Date; and (iii) the Share Certificates for all physically delivered Shares, in proper form for transfer by delivery, or a confirmation of a book-entry transfer into the Depositary's account at one of the Book-Entry Transfer Facilities of all Shares delivered by book-entry transfer, in each case together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile thereof), with any required signature guarantees (or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agent's Message), and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the Depositary within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the date of execution of such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, all as provided in the Offer to Purchase. The method of delivery of this Letter of Transmittal, Share Certificates and all other required documents, including delivery through any Book-Entry Transfer Facility, is at the option and risk of the tendering stockholder, and the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by the Depositary. If delivery is by mail, registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to ensure timely delivery. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted, and no fractional Shares will be purchased. By execution of this Letter of Transmittal (or a facsimile hereof), all tendering stockholders waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance of their Shares for payment. 6 7 3. INADEQUATE SPACE. If the space provided herein under "Description of Shares Tendered" is inadequate, the Share Certificate numbers, the number of Shares represented by such Share Certificates and the number of Shares tendered should be listed on a separate schedule and attached thereto. 4. PARTIAL TENDERS (NOT APPLICABLE TO STOCKHOLDERS WHO TENDER BY BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER). If fewer than all the Shares represented by any Share Certificate delivered to the Depositary herewith are to be tendered, fill in the number of Shares which are to be tendered in the box entitled "Number of Shares Tendered." In such case, a new Share Certificate for the remainder of the Shares represented by the Share Certificate delivered to the Depositary will be sent to the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal, unless otherwise provided in the box entitled "Special Delivery Instructions," as promptly as practicable following the expiration or termination of the Offer. All Shares evidenced by Share Certificates delivered to the Depositary will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated. 5. SIGNATURES ON LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL; STOCK POWERS AND ENDORSEMENTS. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares tendered hereby, the signature(s) must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the certificates without alteration, enlargement or any other change whatsoever. If any of the Shares tendered hereby are owned of record by two or more persons, all such persons must sign this Letter of Transmittal. If any of the Shares tendered hereby are registered in the names of different holders, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations of such Shares. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares tendered hereby, no endorsements of Share Certificates or separate stock powers are required, unless payment of the purchase price is to be made to, or Shares not tendered or not purchased are to be issued in the name of or returned in the name of, any person other than the registered holder(s), in which case the Share Certificate(s) evidencing the Shares tendered hereby must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appear on such Share Certificate(s). Signatures on any such Share Certificate(s) or stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder(s) of the Shares tendered hereby, the Share Certificate(s) evidencing the Shares tendered hereby must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appear(s) on the certificates for such Shares. Signature(s) on any such Share Certificate(s) or stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. If this Letter of Transmittal or any Share Certificate or stock power is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such person should so indicate when signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to the Purchaser of the authority of such person so to act must be submitted. 6. STOCK TRANSFER TAXES. The Purchaser will pay any stock transfer taxes with respect to the sale and transfer of any Shares to it or its order pursuant to the Offer. If, however, payment of the purchase price is to be made to, or Share Certificate(s) evidencing Shares not tendered or not purchased are to be returned in the name of, any person other than the registered holder(s), then the amount of any stock transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder(s), such other person or otherwise) payable on account of the transfer to such person will be deducted from the purchase price, unless evidence satisfactory to the Purchaser of the payment of such taxes, or exemption therefrom, is submitted. Except as provided in this Instruction 6, it will not be necessary for transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the Certificates listed in this Letter of Transmittal. 7. SPECIAL PAYMENT AND DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS. If the check for the purchase price of any Shares purchased is to be issued, or any Share Certificate(s) evidencing Shares not tendered or not purchased are to be issued or returned, in the name of a person other than the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal or if such check or any such Share Certificate(s) are to be sent to someone other than the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal or to the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal at an address other than that shown above under "Description of Shares Tendered," the appropriate boxes on this Letter of Transmittal must be completed. Stockholders tendering Shares by book-entry transfer may request that Shares not purchased be credited to such account at any of the Book-Entry Transfer Facilities as such stockholder may designate in the box entitled "Special Payment Instructions." If no such instructions are given, any such Shares not purchased will be returned by crediting the same account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facilities designated above as the account from which such Shares were delivered. 7 8 8. SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9. Each tendering holder of Shares is required to provide the Depositary with such holder's correct taxpayer identification number ("TIN") on Substitute Form W-9, which is provided below, unless an exemption applies. In the case of such a holder who has completed the box entitled "Special Payment Instructions," however, the correct TIN on Substitute Form W-9 should be provided for the recipient of the payment pursuant to such Instructions. Failure to provide the information on the Substitute Form W-9 may subject the tendering holder of Shares to penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and to 31% federal income tax backup withholding on the payment of the purchase price for the Shares. 9. QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE OR ADDITIONAL COPIES. Questions and requests for assistance may be directed to the Information Agent at its address or telephone numbers set forth below or to the Dealer Manager at its address or telephone number set forth below. Additional copies of the Offer to Purchase, the Supplement, this Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery may be obtained from the Information Agent or from brokers, dealers, commercial banks or trust companies. IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION Under the federal income tax law, a holder of Shares whose tendered Shares are accepted for payment is required by law to provide the Depositary (as payer) with such holder's correct TIN on Substitute Form W-9 below. The holder of Shares must also state that (i) such holder has not been notified by the IRS that such holder is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends or (ii) the Internal Revenue Service has notified such holder that such holder is no longer subject to backup withholding. If the Depositary is not provided with the correct TIN, the holder of Shares may be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS and payments made to such holder may be subject to backup withholding. Certain holders of Shares (including, among others, all corporations and certain foreign individuals) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. In order for a foreign individual to qualify as an exempt recipient, such individual must submit a Form W-8, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to such individual's exempt status. A Form W-8 can be obtained from the Depositary. See the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9 for additional instructions. A stockholder should consult his or her tax advisor as to such stockholder's qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining such exemption. If backup withholding applies, the Depositary is required to withhold 31% of any payments made to the holder of Shares. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the tax withheld pursuant to backup withholding rules will be available as a credit against such holder's tax liabilities. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained from the IRS. WHAT NUMBER TO GIVE THE DEPOSITARY If the holder of Shares is an individual, the correct TIN ordinarily is his or her social security number. In other cases, the correct TIN may be the employer identification number of the record holder of the Shares tendered hereby. If the Shares are in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9 for additional guidance on which number to report. If the tendering holder of Shares has not been issued a TIN and has applied for a number or intends to apply for a number in the near future, the holder should write "Applied For" in the space provided for the TIN in Part I, and sign and date the Substitute Form W-9 and the Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number. If "Applied For" is written in Part I and the Depositary is not provided with a TIN within 60 days, the Depositary may withhold 31% of all payments of the purchase price to such holder until a TIN is provided to the Depositary. 8 9 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PAYER'S NAME: THE BANK OF NEW YORK - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I,2 CERTIFICATIONS -- Under penalties of perjury, I certify that: (1) The number shown on this form is my correct Taxpayer Identification Number (or I am waiting for a number to be issued to me), and (2) I am not subject to backup withholding either because I have not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") that I am subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (b) the IRS has notified me that I am no longer subject to backup withholding. CERTIFICATION INSTRUCTIONS -- You must cross out item (2) above if you have been notified by the IRS that you are subject to backup withholding because of underreporting interest or dividends on your tax return.

FUJITSU AND AMDAHL ANNOUNCE SETTLEMENT OF STOCKHOLDER LAWSUITS TOKYO, JAPAN & SUNNYVALE, CA., USA -- AUGUST 20, 1997 -- FUJITSU LIMITED (TSE: 6702) AND AMDAHL CORPORATION (AMEX: AMH) today jointly announced that they have reached an agreement in principle to resolve stockholder litigation filed against the companies and against certain of Amdahl's present and former directors in connection with Fujitsu's proposed acquisition of all outstanding shares of Amdahl not currently owned by Fujitsu pursuant to a merger agreement dated July 30, 1997, and subsequent tender offer. The agreement in principle provides for an increase in the offer price to $12.40 per share from $12.00 per share in both the tender offer and subsequent merger, and for certain additional disclosures to be made in a supplement to the tender offer materials. Stockholders who have already validly tendered their shares and do not withdraw their shares will be paid $12.40 per share without taking any further action, if shares are accepted for payment pursuant to the tender offer. The defendants continue to deny any wrongdoing in connection with the tender offer and proposed merger and have agreed to amend the tender offer in order to avoid the disruption and expense of further litigation. Fujitsu said that it will amend and supplement the tender offer materials to reflect these amendments and redistribute such materials to Amdahl's stockholders. # # # 2029 Century Park East, Suite 1750 Los Angeles, CA 90067 (310) 788-2850 FAX: (310) 788-2855 EX-99.(A)(17) 8 TEXT OF PRESS RELEASE, DATED 8/22/97. 1 EXHIBIT (a)(17) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - --------------------- Contact: FOR FUJITSU: Korendo Shiotsuki General Manager, New York Office (212) 265-5360 or SITRICK AND COMPANY Jeffrey Lloyd Michael Sitrick (310) 788-2850 FOR AMDAHL: William Stewart Director of Financial and Public Relations (408) 746-6076 FUJITSU AND AMDAHL ANNOUNCE FILING OF REVISED TENDER OFFER MATERIALS AND EXTENSION OF TENDER OFFER TOKYO, JAPAN & SUNNYVALE, CA., USA -- AUGUST 22, 1997 - FUJITSU LIMITED (TSE: 6702) AND AMDAHL CORPORATION (AMEX: AMH) today jointly announced, in connection with Fujitsu's proposed acquisition of all outstanding shares of Amdahl not currently owned by Fujitsu, that Fujitsu today will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and will shortly thereafter begin to distribute to Amdahl's stockholders revised tender offer materials reflecting the increase in the offer price to $12.40 per share from $12.00 per share in both the tender offer and the subsequent merger, and certain additional disclosures, pursuant to the settlement of stockholder litigation which was announced on August 20, 1997.

("Fujitsu International") and the individuals named as defendants in such litigation, including directors and former directors of Amdahl, John C. Lewis, Michael R. Hallman, E. F. Heizer, Jr., Burton G. Malkiel, George R. Packard, Walter B. Reinhold, J. Sidney Webb, Kazuto Kojima, Takeshi Maruyama, Takashi Takaya, Keizo Fukagawa and Takamitsu Tsuchimoto (collectively, "Defendants"). FACT RECITALS A. Each of the Plaintiffs is and was as of the date of the filing of such person's complaint herein the record and beneficial owner of shares of the common stock of Amdahl ("Amdahl common stock"). B. The Plaintiffs in the below-referenced stockholder class actions have challenged a tender offer (the "Offer") and merger transaction contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of July 30, 1997, by and among Fujitsu, a Japanese corporation, Fujitsu International, a wholly owned subsidiary of Fujitsu, and Amdahl, a Delaware corporation, pursuant to which Fujitsu International offered to acquire all outstanding shares of common stock of Amdahl in the Offer, and, following the completion of the Offer, Fujitsu International would be merged (the "Merger") with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fujitsu. 2 C. Shortly after the July 30, 1997 public announcement of the Offer, Merger and Merger Agreement, several putative class actions were filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery and in the California Superior Court for the County of Santa Clara challenging the fairness of the proposed transaction to Company stockholders. Cases filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery as of August 5, 1997 include: Lopez v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15833NC), filed July 30, 1997; Kaltman v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15834NC), filed July 30, 1997; Uzzo v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15837), filed July 31, 1997; O'Shea v. Kojima, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15838), filed July 31, 1997; Gachot & Gachot, Inc. v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15839), filed July 31, 1997; Crandon Capital Partners v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15840), filed July 31, 1997; Bodakian v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15841), filed July 31, 1997; McCeady v. Amdahl Corp. (Civ. Act. No. 15845), filed July 31, 1997; Halebian v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15850NC), filed August 1, 1997; Cohen v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15051), filed August 4, 1997; and Millet v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15057), filed on August 5, 1997 (collectively, the "Delaware Actions"). Cases filed in the California Superior Court for the County of Santa Clara as of August 1, 1997 are: Lacoff v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Case No. CV767860), filed July 30, 1997; and Silverman v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Case No. CV767896), filed August 1, 1997 (collectively, the "California Actions"). D. Plaintiffs shall file a consolidated amended complaint (the "Amended Complaint"), and agree to consolidate the Delaware Actions under the caption In re Amdahl Corporation Shareholders Litig., Consolidated C.A. No. 15833 (the "Consolidated Action"). Plaintiffs' counsel shall cause the California Actions to be dismissed with prejudice, and this 2 3 agreement-in-principle is contingent upon a final dismissal with prejudice of the California Actions. E. The complaints referred to in paragraph C above and the proposed Amended Complaint referred to in paragraph D (hereinafter collectively the "Actions") challenge and seek to enjoin the Offer and the consummation of the Merger between Amdahl and Fujitsu International. Under the Merger Agreement, subject to certain conditions, each shareholder of Amdahl would receive $12 for each share of Amdahl stock tendered under the terms of the Offer, and any shares of Amdahl stock not purchased in the Offer would receive $12 per share in a second-step Merger in which Fujitsu International would be merged with and into Amdahl. F. In the Actions, Plaintiffs alleged, inter alia, that various of the Defendants breached their fiduciary duties to plaintiffs in connection with the Offer and Merger by, among other things: (i) failing to act independently to maximize shareholder value in furtherance of the best interests of the shareholders and the Company; (ii) failing to explore adequately all alternatives available to the Company's stockholders; (iii) agreeing to sell the Company to Fujitsu at an inadequate price; and (iv) inadequately disclosing to Amdahl's shareholders the events leading up to the Offer and the Merger Agreement and the factors relevant to the shareholders' decision whether to tender their shares. G. The Actions further allege that Fujitsu violated fiduciary obligations it owed to the shareholders of Amdahl by virtue of its affiliation with, control of and ownership interest in Amdahl by, inter alia, failing to pay a fair price for the public shareholders' stock; failing to implement a fair process for the purchase of the shares of Amdahl's public stockholders; and failing to make full and accurate disclosures concerning the events leading up to the Offer, the 3 4 Merger Agreement and factors relevant to Amdahl's shareholders' decision whether to tender their shares into the Offer. H. After the filing of the Delaware and California Actions, Plaintiffs' counsel and counsel for Defendants engaged in expedited discovery for the purposes of preparing for a hearing on Plaintiffs' request for preliminary injunctive relief. During this discovery period, counsel for Plaintiffs and Defendants engaged in extensive and good faith discussions regarding the possibility of settling the Litigation. On August 20, 1997, the parties to the Litigation reached an agreement-in-principle concerning the proposed settlement of the Litigation as set forth below. NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. Purpose And Scope Of This Memorandum. The purpose of this Memorandum is to set forth the agreement-in-principle of the parties to the Consolidated Action with respect to the matters addressed below. However, the obligations of the parties pursuant to this Memorandum are subject to modifications, if necessary. Any necessary adjustments will be made on a mutually agreeable basis so as to preserve the economic, operational and other objectives of the parties in reaching this agreement-in-principle. 2. Principal Terms Of The Settlement. The following are the principal terms of the agreement-in-principle to be embodied in definitive documents to be executed by the appropriate parties (the "Settlement"): (a) Increased Offer Price. The Offer on August 5, 1997, provided for an Offer Price, as defined in the Merger Agreement, of $12.00 net cash per share. As a result of the Actions, Fujitsu and/or Fujitsu International agree to increase the Offer Price by an additional 4 5 $0.40 per share to $12.40 net cash per share, in consideration for a release substantially in the form set forth below. (b) Defendants' Right to Withdraw. Fujitsu and Fujitsu International shall have the option to withdraw from the Settlement in the event that holders of more than 20% of the common shares of Amdahl owned at the time of the Merger by persons other than the Defendants and any person, firm, trust, corporation or other entity related to or affiliated with any of them or their successors in interest, have demanded appraisal for their common shares and have not withdrawn their demand. (c) Disclosure. Counsel for Plaintiffs have reviewed and commented upon the disclosure materials relating to the Offer, Merger Agreement and the Merger. Based upon their investigation, Plaintiffs hereby agree and confirm that such disclosure materials, as modified, adequately and reasonably disclose all material facts about the Defendants, the relationship of Amdahl and Fujitsu, the history of the negotiations leading up to the Merger Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and Merger Agreement. 3. The parties agree to enter into a stipulation of settlement (and such other and related documentation as may be necessary) which will provide for the settlement of the Consolidated Action (the "Settlement Agreement") on, among other terms, the following conditions: (a) for certification, for settlement purposes only, of a mandatory non-opt-out class under Delaware Chancery Court Rule 23(b)(1) and 23(b)(2) of all record and beneficial holders of Amdahl common stock (other than the Defendants and their affiliates) during the period beginning on and including July 30, 1997 through and including the date of the 5 6 consummation of the Merger (the "Merger Date"), including any and all of their respective predecessors, trustees, executors, administrators, representatives, heirs, transferees, successors in interest and assigns, immediate and remote, and any person claiming under any of them, and each of them, and excluding the Defendants and any person, firm, trust, corporation or other entity related to or affiliated with any of them or their successors in interest (the "Class"). The terms of the Settlement Agreement will consist of the terms outlined above in paragraph 2, as well as releases and covenants not to sue and other terms in form customarily included in such agreements. The parties agree to use their best efforts to obtain Court approval of such Settlement. (b) for the complete discharge, dismissal with prejudice, settlement and release of, and an injunction barring, all claims, demands, rights, actions or causes of action, rights, liabilities, damages, losses, obligations, judgments, suits, matters and issues of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, contingent or absolute, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, matured or unmatured, that have been, could have been, or in the future can or might be asserted in the Actions or in any court, tribunal or proceedings (including, but not limited to, any claims arising under federal or state law relating to alleged fraud, breach of any duty, negligence, violations of the federal securities laws or otherwise) by or on behalf of any member of the Class, whether individual, class, derivative, representative, legal, equitable or any other type or in any other capacity against Defendants or any of their families, parent entities, associates, affiliates or subsidiaries and each and all of their respective past, present or future officers, directors, stockholders, representatives, employees, attorneys, financial or investment advisors, consultants, accountants, attorneys, investment bankers, commercial 6 7 bankers, engineers, advisors or agents, heirs, executors, trustees, general or limited partners or partnerships, personal representatives, estates, administrators, predecessors, successors and assigns and all other persons (collectively, the "Released Persons") which have arisen, could have arisen, arise now or hereafter arise out of, or relate in any manner to, the allegations, facts, events, transactions, acts, occurrences, statements, representations, misrepresentations, omissions or any other matter, thing or cause whatsoever, or any series thereof, embraced, involved, set forth or otherwise related, directly or indirectly, to any of the Actions, the Offer, Merger, the Merger Agreement, or any related transaction or documents, the negotiation, consideration and approval thereof, or of the fiduciary or disclosure obligation of any of the Released Persons in any tender offer materials, proxy materials, public filings or statements (including, but not limited to, public statements) by the Released Persons in connection with the Offer, Merger, or the Merger Agreement (collectively, the "Settled Claims); provided, however, that the Settled Claims shall not include (i) the right of the Plaintiffs or any members of the Class or Released Persons to enforce the terms of the Settlement Agreement, or (ii) any appraisal rights arising out of the Merger; (c) that the Defendants have denied, and continue to deny, that any of them have committed or have threatened to commit any violations of law or breaches of duty to the Plaintiffs, the members of the Class or anyone; (d) that the Defendants are entering into this Memorandum, and will be entering into the Settlement Agreement, because, among other reasons, the proposed Settlement would eliminate the burden and expense of further litigation; and 7 8 (e) subject to the order of the Court, pending final determination of whether the settlement provided for in the Settlement Agreement should be approved, that Plaintiffs and all members of the Class, or any of them, are barred and enjoined from commencing, prosecuting, instigating or in any way participating in the commencement of any action asserting any claims, either directly, representatively, derivatively or in any other capacity, against any of the Released Persons which have been or could have been asserted, or which arise out of, or relate in any way to, the Settled Claims, or which arise out of or relate in any way to any of the transactions or events described in any complaint in the Actions. 4. Cooperation. The parties, through their counsel, (i) agree to use their best efforts to pursue the Settlement of the Consolidated Action in as expeditious and comprehensive a manner as possible and acknowledge that time is of the essence; and (ii) agree to cooperate in preparing any and all necessary papers to define, pursue and effectuate the Settlement of the Consolidated Action. 5. Pending negotiation, execution and approval of the Settlement by the Delaware Court of Chancery (hereinafter, the "Court"), the Plaintiffs agree to stay any discovery, to withdraw on August 21, 1997, their motion for a preliminary injunction in the Delaware Actions, and to stay and not initiate any and all other proceedings in the Consolidated Action other than those incident to the Settlement itself. The parties also agree to use their best efforts to prevent, stay or seek dismissal of or oppose entry of any interim or final relief in favor of the Plaintiffs or any putative Class member in any other litigation against any of the parties to this Memorandum which challenges the Settlement, Offer, Merger, Merger Agreement, or related transactions. 8 9 6. The parties to the Consolidated Action will use their best efforts to agree upon, execute and present to the Court, on or before August 29, 1997, a formal Stipulation of Settlement and such other documents as may be necessary and appropriate to obtain the prompt approval by the Court contemplated herein and by the Stipulation of Settlement. 7. The Settlement will not be binding upon any party until, and is otherwise subject to: (a) a formal Stipulation of Settlement (and such other documentation as may be required to obtain final approval by the Court of the Settlement) has been executed by counsel for the parties to the Consolidated Action; and (b) final approval by the Court of the Settlement (and the exhaustion of possible appeals, if any) and the dismissal of the Consolidated Action by the Court with prejudice and without awarding costs to any party (except as provided herein) have been obtained, and entry by the Court of a final order and judgment containing such release language as is negotiated by the parties and contained in the Stipulation of Settlement. 8. If the Settlement is not consummated in accordance with Paragraph 7, this Memorandum shall be null and void and of no force and effect, and shall not be deemed, used or offered to prejudice in any way the positions of the parties or any Released Persons with respect to the Consolidated Action or otherwise, nor to entitle any party to the recovery of costs and expenses incurred to implement this Memorandum (except as provided in paragraph 10 hereof). 9. In connection with the Settlement contemplated by this Memorandum, Plaintiffs' counsel will apply to the Court for an aggregate award of attorneys' fees and expenses, including fees and expenses for or payable to any financial advisors engaged by or for the 9 10 Plaintiffs, in an amount not to exceed $7,000,000 in attorney's fees and $250,000 in expenses (collectively, the "Fees and Expenses"). Defendants agree that they will not oppose such application.

Except as provided herein, the Released Persons shall bear no other expenses, costs, damages or fees alleged or incurred by any of the named Plaintiffs, by any member of the Class, or by any of their attorneys, experts, advisors, agents or representatives. 10.

This Memorandum constitutes the essential terms of the agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be amended nor any of its provisions waived except by a writing signed by all of the signatories hereto. 13. This Memorandum and the Settlement contemplated by it shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of laws principles. 14.
