FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TOKYO and SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 5-- Fujitsu Limited (TSE: 6702) and Amdahl Corporation (Amex:AMH) announced that, in accordance with the previously announced definitive merger agreement, Fujitsu today commenced a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of Amdahl stock not currently owned by Fujitsu at a purchase price of $12 per share in cash. As previously announced, the merger agreement was unanimously approved by the Amdahl directors who are unaffiliated with Fujitsu.

The tender offer and withdrawal rights will expire at 5 p.m. New York City time, Friday, Sept. 5, 1997, unless the offer is extended.

The Bank of New York will act as depository for the tender, MacKenzie Partners, Inc. as information agent and Lehman Brothers Inc. as dealer manager.
