Press Release by the Board of Directors

Fujitsu Services has just disclosed that the initial terms and conditions of its public offer for the shares of our company are not expected to change.

The Board of Directors of GFI Informatique has already made known its strong opposition to an unsolicited, hostile bid that lacks clarity at the industrial, managerial and employee levels

Clearly, the board cannot accept a transaction based on a price it considers inadequate given the company’s development potential as well as the prices of comparable transactions, particularly those who have taken place recently, even friendly ones, which the offeror continues to ignore.

The Board therefore reiterates its desire that shareholders should not be deprived of the opportunity to benefit from the expected growth of the company, which remains open to any relevant opportunity in the context of significant change in Europe and internationally.
