                FUJITSU COMPLETES AMDAHL TENDER OFFER AND MERGER

        TOKYO, JAPAN AND SUNNYVALE, CALIF., USA -- SEPTEMBER 19, 1997 - FUJITSU
LIMITED (TSE: 6702) today announced the successful completion of its cash tender
offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Amdahl Corporation (AMEX:AMH)
not already owned by Fujitsu, and the related merger transaction.

        Fujitsu's subsidiary, Fujitsu International, Inc., purchased 67,260,426
validly tendered Amdahl shares and has merged with and into Amdahl, making
Amdahl a wholly owned subsidiary of Fujitsu.

        Fujitsu said that after purchasing the tendered shares on Thursday,
September 18, for $12.40 per share, Fujitsu and its affiliates owned 97 percent
of the outstanding shares of Amdahl. 

        The merger was completed on Thursday, September 18, according to the
short-form merger provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In the
merger, each share of Amdahl's common stock not held by Fujitsu or Fujitsu
International (other than shares as to which appraisal rights are perfected) was
converted into the right to receive $12.40 in cash. Stockholders who did not
tender their shares in the offer will receive a letter of transmittal with
instructions for receiving the $12.40 per-share cash payment.

        "We are truly pleased to have Amdahl now a full-fledged member of the
Fujitsu group of companies," said Tadashi Sekizawa, president and
representative director of Fujitsu. "We now look forward to the exciting and
challenging work of developing the many opportunities between us for technology
and product growth," he added.
