Unisys Signs Approximately US$225/A$240 Million Contract with Australian Department of Defence for Regional IT Support Services

BLUE BELL, Pa.--(Business Wire)--
Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) announced today that its Australian
subsidiary has signed a contract with the Australian Department of
Defence to provide a range of IT support services to 460 Defence
locations across Australia. The contract, with an initial term of five
years following a transition period of an estimated 18 months
duration, has a value estimated at approximately US$225/A$240 million,
with the potential for two future contract extensions, each of two
years duration.

Under the contract, Unisys will provide a range of IT support
services, including network security and infrastructure support,
server and desktop support to all sections within the Australian
Defence Force. Unisys will also standardize IT support processes
nationally. These IT services support key operations of Defence,
including the Australian Defence Force.

Tony Henshaw, Asia Pacific Vice President Global Outsourcing and
Infrastructure Services, Unisys said, "We are very pleased to have
been chosen for this important project with the Department of Defence.
We look forward to supporting the Australian Defence by providing IT
services on a national scale that are designed to be robust, flexible
and highly secure and we are focused on moving quickly to implement a
smooth and effective transition.

"Unisys and its personnel will be required to undergo the same
security clearance processes as Defence personnel. Unisys has been an
ongoing member of the Defence Industry Security program for nearly 10
years, membership to which requires conformity to Australian
Government and Department of Defence security requirements," he said.

Under the contract, Unisys anticipates streamlining IT support
services nationally by resolving second and third level helpdesk
queries faster and more effectively. Unisys also plans to improve
coordination and consistency of IT processes nationally, so that the
460 Defence locations will receive the same high quality level and
speed of service. These measures are expected to help reduce the cost
of IT operations for Defence while providing improved services.

The contract continues a string a recent major wins for Unisys
with the Australian public sector. In the last two years, Unisys has
signed a contract with the Department of Immigration and Citizenship
(DIAC) for the delivery of selected IT services including a single
dedicated service desk, secure gateway services, end to end user
computing services and cross functional services. This follows an
earlier contract to provide biometric solutions and services as part
of the DIAC Enhanced Border Control Program. The Australian National
Audit Office has also recently renewed a contract with Unisys for the
delivery of selected IT services for a further two years, extending a
ten year outsourcing relationship.

Forward Looking Statement

Any statements contained in this release that are not historical
facts are forward-looking statements as defined in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All forward-looking
statements rely on assumptions and are subject to various risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from expectations. In particular, statements in this release regarding
the anticipated value of the contract are based upon assumptions
regarding future volumes of services to be performed, the prices for
those services remaining constant, and performance of the contract
continuing for its full term. Because Defence requirements for
services will vary over time, with a portion of the revenue varying
based on the level and types of services performed; because pricing
may be subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, including as
a result of volumetric changes and periodic benchmarking surveys;
because the transition period may take more or less time than
anticipated, with fees for transition services adjustment accordingly;
and because the contract is terminable by the Department of Defence
before the end of its term on the payment of a specified fee, the
anticipated value of the contract is not guaranteed. Additional
discussion of factors that could affect Unisys future results is
contained in periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
