VOTING AND PROXY SOLICITATION
This Statement is furnished to stockholders of Computer Sciences
Corporation in connection with the solicitation of proxies for use at the Annual
Meeting of Stockholders to be held at the Sheraton Gateway Hotel, Los Angeles
Airport, 6101 West Century Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90045, at 2
o'clock p.m., Pacific Daylight Savings Time, on August 14, 1995. This
solicitation is made by the Board of Directors of Computer Sciences Corporation
and the cost of solicitation will be borne by the Company.
Solicitation other than by mail may be made personally, by telephone or by
facsimile, by regularly employed officers and employees of the Company who will
not be additionally compensated therefor. The Company will request persons
holding stock in their names for others, such as trustees, brokers and nominees,
to forward proxy material to their principals and request authority for the
execution of the proxy and will reimburse such persons for their expenses in so
doing. In addition, the Company has engaged the services of Morrow & Co., Inc.
with respect to proxy soliciting matters at an expected cost to the Company of
approximately $6,000, not including incidental expenses.
The Annual Report of the Company for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995,
has been enclosed and mailed to stockholders under the same cover as this Proxy
Statement.
<PAGE> 4
You are requested to sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card to
ensure that your shares will be voted. A proxy may be revoked at any time prior
to the voting thereof by notice in writing of such revocation duly executed by
the stockholder and delivered to the Secretary of the Company prior to the time
the proxy is exercised, or by duly executing and delivering to the Secretary a
proxy bearing a later date.
VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF
Only stockholders of record at the close of business on June 16, 1995, will
be entitled to notice and to vote at the meeting and any adjournment thereof.
The issued and outstanding shares of the Company at that date consisted of
55,410,148 shares of Common Stock. The holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares will constitute a quorum at the meeting. The affirmative vote of a
majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting
is required for the approval of proposals presented to stockholders. Abstentions
and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining the presence or
absence of a quorum, but are not counted for purposes of determining whether a
proposal has been approved.
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share, except
that stockholders and any proxy holders for such stockholders are entitled to
exercise the right to cumulative voting for the election of directors. In order
to exercise the right of cumulative voting, one or more of the stockholders
requesting cumulative voting must give notice before the vote to the President
or Secretary of the Company that the stockholder desires that the voting for the
election of directors be cumulative.
Under cumulative voting, each stockholder may give one nominee the number
of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number
of shares held by the voting stockholder, or the individual stockholder can
distribute his or her votes among as many nominees as such stockholder deems
appropriate. The nominees (up to the number to be elected) receiving the highest
number of votes will be declared elected. If the right to cumulative voting is
exercised, the proxy holders named in the accompanying proxy shall have the
discretion to cumulate votes in any manner, and to vote for less than all of the
nominees indicated on any such duly executed proxy, in order to elect the
maximum number of the nominees set forth in Item 1 below.
As of May 31, 1995, The TCW Group, Inc. (formerly known as TCW Management
Company), Fidelity Management & Research Co. and Provident Investment Counsel
were the only stockholders known by management to hold beneficially 5% or more
of the

Article III, Section 15 of the Bylaws provides that a director of the
Company shall automatically retire at the close of the meeting of the Board of
Directors held during the first month in which he or she shall be age 72 or
older, or if no meeting is held during such month, the director shall
automatically retire as of the last day of such month.
The 1990 Nonemployee Director Retirement Plan provides specified benefits
for directors who retire from the Board of Directors with at least five years of
service, and who are not, and have never been, employees of the Company.
Pursuant to the Plan, each such director will receive an annual benefit equal to
the sum of (1) the annual retainer for nonemployee directors in effect as of the
date of the director's retirement, plus (2) the daily Board meeting fee in
effect as of such date multiplied by the number of regularly scheduled Board
meetings held during the year ending on such date. Such annual benefits commence
on the date that the director shall attain age 65, or such later date as the
director shall retire. With respect to directors that shall have served on the
Board of Directors for less than ten years, the benefits will be payable for the
number of years of service. If such a director dies prior to the payment in full
of the director's benefits, the remaining benefits will be paid to the
beneficiary designated by the director for such purpose. With respect to
directors that shall have served on the Board for at least ten years, the
benefits will be payable for ten years or until the director's death, if later.
If such a director dies prior to the payment of benefits for ten years, such
remaining benefits will be paid to the director's beneficiary.
No nominee for director currently owns beneficially 1% or more of the
outstanding shares of the Company except Mr. Hoover, who owns 1% of the
outstanding shares.
At the previous election of directors held at the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders on August 8, 1994, approximately 88.1% of the outstanding shares
eligible to vote were represented either in person or by proxy. More than 99% of
the shares present and voting at the 1994 Annual Meeting of Stockholders voted
for the director nominees.
MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ITS COMMITTEES
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, the Board of Directors held
seven meetings. The incumbent directors, while serving during the last fiscal
year, attended, in the aggregate, 98% of the total number of meetings of the
Board of Directors and the total number of meetings held by all committees of
the Board on which they served.
Among the standing committees of the Board of Directors of the Company are
the Executive Committee, Audit Committee and Compensation Committee. The Board
of Directors does not have a Nominating Committee.
Messrs. Honeycutt, Hoover and Level have served as members of the Executive
Committee which, within the limits of authority delegated by the full Board of
Directors of the Company pursuant to standing and specific resolutions of the
Board, acts on behalf of the Board. During the past fiscal year the Executive
Committee held 27 meetings.
5
<PAGE> 8
Messrs. Lawton, McFarlan and Mellor have served as the members of the Audit
Committee which during the last fiscal year held three meetings. The principal
duties and responsibilities of the Audit Committee are to recommend to the Board
the accounting firm to be engaged as the Company's independent auditors and the
terms of their engagement and to meet with the Company's independent and
internal auditors to review the scope of their audits and their audit findings.
Messrs. Allen, Bailey and McFarlan have served as the members of the
Compensation Committee whose principal function is to determine the salary and
bonus for all corporate officers at the level of vice president or higher, and
to administer the Company's stock incentive plans. None of the members of the
Compensation Committee is, or has ever been, an employee of the Company or any
of its subsidiaries. During the last fiscal year the Compensation Committee held
three meetings.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
REPORT OF COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON ANNUAL COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
The Company's executive compensation program is designed to provide
competitive levels of annual cash compensation, as well as long-term incentives
based on the Company's performance, and includes a base salary, annual incentive
awards, and long-term incentives based on stock option awards and restricted
stock grants. In addition, the Company has adopted employee benefit plans
including retirement plans, health plans, insurance plans, and others in which
the officers are eligible participants.
Base compensation is established based on competitive evaluations for each
position, individual responsibility and contribution. The annual incentive award
is determined based on the Company's performance compared to prior years and
established annual goals. Performance factors include margin performance,
revenue growth, net income growth and cash flow, as well as specific individual
achievements. Stock options and restricted stock grants are awarded based on the
individual's position and long-term contribution.
The Committee believes that the Company's executive compensation program
allows the Company to attract and retain outstanding executives in the
information technology field and is well structured to align management's and
stockholders' interest in the enhancement of stockholder value through stock
ownership programs and incentive programs based on performance and stock value.
Relationship of Company Performance to Executive Compensation
Fiscal year 1995 compensation was determined on an individual basis in
accordance with the above policies and programs. The Company's performance
substantially met or exceeded its financial goals. Revenue growth of 30.6% net
income growth of 21.8% (excluding a gain of $4,900,000 resulting from the
adoption of SFAS 109 in fiscal year 1994) and free cash flow of approximately
$27,000,000 were considered strong results.
6
<PAGE> 9
Compensation paid to the Company's five named executive officers for fiscal
year 1995, as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table on page 8, consisted
primarily of base salary, performance bonuses and stock option grants.
The measures of performance that are utilized under the Company's
compensation plans for executive officers vary. Primarily, they include target
versus actual consolidated financial results, growth over prior years and
subjective considerations of individual performance.
The Company's executive compensation program takes into account any
potential limitations on the deductibility of compensation in excess of
$1,000,000 per year imposed by Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), but does
not require that all compensation qualify for exemption from such limitation.
The Company will deduct all compensation paid to executive officers for fiscal
year 1995.
Fiscal Year 1995 Stock Option Grants
In fiscal year 1995, grants of stock options were made to various executive
officers, including Mr. Honeycutt, shown in the Options Granted in Last Fiscal
Year table on page 9.
Chief Executive Officer Compensation
As reflected in the Summary Compensation Table on page 8, Mr. Hoover's base
salary was increased during fiscal year 1995 by $96,058 (14.4%). In determining
Mr. Hoover's base salary for fiscal year 1995, the Committee considered the
Company's financial performance for the prior year, Mr. Hoover's individual
performance, and his long-term contributions to the success of the Company. The
Committee also compared Mr. Hoover's base salary to the base salaries of chief
executive officers at peer companies.
For fiscal year 1995, Mr. Hoover's annual bonus payment represented 78.7%
of his base salary, as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table on page 8.
Under the Company's executive compensation program, Mr. Hoover was paid $600,000
in connection with fiscal year 1995 performance, reflecting the fact that the
Company's performance substantially met or exceeded its financial goals.
Mr. Hoover resigned as Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective
March 30, 1995. On that date he had options to purchase an aggregate of 102,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock, as reflected in the Fiscal Year End Option
Values table on page 10. Mr. Hoover subsequently exercised all of his options
and currently owns 575,213 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
Conclusion
The Committee believes this executive compensation program serves the
interests of stockholders and the Company effectively. The various pay vehicles
offered are appropri-
7
<PAGE> 10
ately balanced to motivate executives to contribute to the Company's overall
future successes, thereby enhancing the value of the Company for the
stockholders.
We will continue to address the effectiveness of the Company's total
compensation program to meet the needs of the Company and serve the interests of
its stockholders.

become exercisable to purchase one-third of the underlying shares on each of
the first three anniversaries of the date of grant of the option.

(1) On November 1, 1994, the Company granted a nonqualified stock option to Mr.
Honeycutt. The option will become exercisable to purchase 10% of the
underlying shares on the first anniversary of the date of grant, and an
additional 15% of the underlying shares on each of the following six
anniversaries of the date of grant. The option will become fully exercisable
in the event of a change of control of the Company. The exercise price of
the option is equal to the market value of the underlying shares on the date
of grant of the option. The exercise price of the option and the optionee's
tax withholding obligation with respect to such exercise may, at the
optionee's election, be paid with cash and/or by the delivery of previously
owned shares of Common Stock.
(2) Amounts shown reflect the potential realizable value of each grant of stock
options, assuming that the market price of the underlying shares appreciates
in value from the date of grant to the expiration date at an annualized rate
of 5% or 10%. These potential values are reported in order to comply with
Securities and Exchange Commission requirements, and the Company cannot
predict whether these values will be achieved.

(1) The amounts shown reflect the spread between the exercise price and the
market value of the underlying shares of Common Stock on March 31, 1995
(based on the $49.38 closing price of the Common Stock on that date reported
on the Composite Tape for New York Stock Exchange listed companies).
PENSION PLANS
The table below shows the estimated accrued annual amount at age 65 that
would be received on a single life annuity basis from the Company's Pension Plan
(the "Pension Plan") and Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "SERP") at
specified base salaries and years of service. Messrs. Honeycutt, Level and
Cooper are covered by both Plans.
The Pension Plan is a contributory, career average defined benefit plan and
benefits are determined based on the participant's average base salary during
all years of participation. There is no deduction for Social Security or other
offset amounts and base salary does not include any bonus, overtime or shift
differential compensation. The remuneration covered by the Pension Plan during
the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995 for Messrs. Honeycutt, Level and Cooper was
$490,385, $321,269, and $276,750, respectively, but is limited to $150,000 for
1995 in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended by the
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993. The shortfall in benefits due to
legal limits (maximum benefits and the use of the legally limited salary) is
restored pursuant to the excess benefit provisions of the SERP. Messrs.
Honeycutt, Level and Cooper will have credited years of service in the Pension
Plan at age 65 of 24 years, 16 years, and 19 years, respectively. Covered salary
under the Pension Plan is significantly lower than final average compensation as
used in the SERP because of the Pension Plan's career average provision.
10
<PAGE> 13
The SERP also provides additional annual benefits for certain designated
officers and key executives of the Company who satisfy its minimum service
requirements. The benefit is based on 50% of the average of the participant's
highest three (of the last five) annual base salaries, with a deduction of 100%
of the amount of primary Social Security benefits payable at the time of
determination. Upon the death of the participant, a spousal benefit of 50% of
the participant's benefit is generally payable for the spouse's lifetime.
In the event of a change-in-control of the Company followed by the
separation of any of the named Executive Officers from service to the Company
within 36 months thereafter, the effected Officer(s) becomes entitled to
accelerated vesting of benefit entitlements under the SERP.

Mr. Champy is covered by the additional benefit provisions of the SERP as
described above. The covered remuneration during the fiscal year ended March 31,
1995 for Mr. Champy was $401,965. His estimated annual accrued benefit from age
62 on a single life annuity basis, assuming no increase in base salary, is
$189,043.
Mr. Hoover participated in both the Pension Plan and the SERP until his
retirement on March 30, 1995, and receives an annual benefit of $404,191
pursuant thereto.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF
THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a
registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file with the SEC and
the New York Stock Exchange initial reports of ownership and reports of changes
in ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company.
Executive officers, directors and greater
12
<PAGE> 15
than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the
Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
To the Company's knowledge, based solely on review of information furnished
to the Company, reports filed through the Company and representations that no
other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, all
Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its executive officers,
directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with
except for one Form 4 filed late inadvertently on behalf of Milton E. Cooper to
report the effect upon certain of his shares of the 200% stock dividend paid to
stockholders of record as of December 22, 1993.
ITEM 2.
PROPOSED 1995 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN OF THE COMPANY
As of May 31, 1995, an aggregate of 847,787 shares of Common Stock remained
available under the Company's six stock incentive plans for issuance to
employees pursuant to sales of restricted stock or grants of stock options,
stock appreciation rights or other stock-based incentives. The Board of
Directors believes that such number of shares is insufficient to allow the
Company to continue to make substantial use of stock-based incentives to
attract, retain and motivate qualified employees. In order to increase the
aggregate number of shares available for issuance to employees pursuant to
stock-based incentives, the Board adopted the 1995 Stock Incentive Plan (the
"1995 Plan") on June 12, 1995 and is submitting it to the stockholders for their
approval at the Annual Meeting.
The following description of the 1995 Plan is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the Plan, a copy of which is attached as Appendix
A to this Proxy Statement.
GENERAL
Each employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is eligible to be
considered for the grant of awards under the 1995 Plan. The maximum number of
shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the
1995 Plan is 2,500,000, subject to certain adjustments to prevent dilution.
The 1995 Plan will be administered by a committee of two or more
nonemployee directors appointed by the Board of Directors (the "Committee").
Subject to the provisions of the 1995 Plan, the Committee will have full and
final authority to select the employees to whom awards will be granted
thereunder, to grant the awards and to determine the terms and conditions of the
awards and the number of shares to be issued pursuant thereto.
AWARDS
The 1995 Plan authorizes the Committee to enter into any type of
arrangement with an eligible employee that, by its terms, involves or might
involve the issuance of (1) shares of Common Stock, (2) an option, warrant,
convertible security, stock appreciation right or
13
<PAGE> 16
similar right with an exercise or conversion privilege at a price related to the
Common Stock, or (3) any other security or benefit with a value derived from the
value of the Common Stock. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock with
respect to which options or rights may be granted under the 1995 Plan to any
employee during any fiscal year is 200,000, subject to certain adjustments to
prevent dilution.
Awards under the 1995 Plan are not restricted to any specified form or
structure and may include arrangements such as sales, bonuses and other
transfers of stock, restricted stock, stock options, reload stock options, stock
purchase warrants, other rights to acquire stock, securities convertible into or
redeemable for stock, stock appreciation rights, limited stock appreciation
rights, phantom stock, dividend equivalents, performance units or performance
shares. An award may consist of one such arrangement or two or more such
arrangements in tandem or in the alternative. An award may provide for the
issuance of Common Stock for any lawful consideration, including services
rendered.
An award granted under the 1995 Plan to an employee may include a provision
conditioning or accelerating the receipt of benefits, either automatically or in
the discretion of the Committee, upon the occurrence of specified events, such
as a change of control of the Company, an acquisition of a specified percentage
of the voting power of the Company or a dissolution, liquidation, merger,
reclassification, sale of substantially all of the property and assets of the
Company or other significant corporate transaction. Any stock option granted to
an employee may be a tax-benefited incentive stock option or a nonqualified
stock option that is not tax-benefited. See "Federal Income Tax Treatment"
below. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued to
employees pursuant to tax-benefited incentive stock options granted under the
1995 Plan is 2,500,000, subject to certain adjustments to prevent dilution.
An award under the 1995 Plan may permit the recipient to pay all or part of
the purchase price of the shares or other property issuable pursuant to the
award, and/or to pay all or part of the recipient's tax withholding obligations
with respect to such issuance, by delivering previously owned shares of capital
stock of the Company or other property, or by reducing the amount of shares or
other property otherwise issuable pursuant to the award. If an option granted
under the 1995 Plan permitted the recipient to pay for the shares issuable
pursuant thereto with previously owned shares, the recipient would be able to
"pyramid" his or her previously owned shares, i.e., to exercise the option in
successive transactions, starting with a relatively small number of shares and,
by a series of exercises using shares acquired from each transaction to pay the
purchase price of the shares acquired in the following transaction, to exercise
the option for a larger number of shares with no more investment than the
original share or shares delivered.
PLAN DURATION
The 1995 Plan became effective upon its adoption by the Board of Directors
on June 12, 1995, but no shares of Common Stock may be issued or sold under the
1995 Plan
14
<PAGE> 17
until it has been approved by the Company's stockholders. No awards may be
granted under the 1995 Plan after June 12, 2005. Although any award that was
duly granted on or prior to such date may thereafter be exercised or settled in
accordance with its terms, no shares of Common stock may be issued pursuant to
any award after June 12, 2015.
AMENDMENTS
The Board of Directors may amend or terminate the 1995 Plan at any time and
in any manner, subject to the following:
(1) no recipient of any award may, without his or her consent, be
deprived thereof or of any of his or her rights thereunder or with respect
thereto as a result of such amendment or termination; and
(2) if any national securities exchange upon which any of the Company's
securities are listed requires that any such amendment be approved by the
Company's stockholders, then such amendment will not be effective until it
has been approved by the Company's stockholders.
EFFECT OF SECTION 16(B) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
The acquisition and disposition of Common Stock by officers, directors and
more than 10% stockholders of the Company ("Insiders") pursuant to awards
granted to them under the 1995 Plan may be subject to Section 16(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Pursuant to Section 16(b), a purchase of Common
Stock by an Insider within six months before or after a sale of Common Stock by
the Insider could result in recovery by the Company of all or a portion of any
amount by which the sale proceeds exceed the purchase price. Insiders are
required to file reports of changes in beneficial ownership under Section 16(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 upon acquisitions and dispositions of
shares. Rule 16b-3 provides an exemption from Section 16(b) liability for
certain transactions pursuant to certain employee benefit plans. The 1995 Plan
is designed to comply with Rule 16b-3.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT
The following is a brief description of the federal income tax treatment
that will generally apply to awards granted under the 1995 Plan, based on
federal income tax laws in effect on the date hereof. The exact federal income
tax treatment of awards will depend on the specific nature of the award. An
award may be taxable as an option, as restricted or unrestricted stock, as a
cash payment, or otherwise.
Incentive Stock Options
Pursuant to the 1995 Plan, employees may be granted options that are
intended to qualify as incentive stock options under the provisions of Section
422 of the Internal
15
<PAGE> 18
Revenue Code. Except as described in the following two sentences, the optionee
generally is not taxed and the Company is not entitled to a deduction on the
grant or exercise of an incentive stock option, provided the option is exercised
while the optionee is an employee of the Company or within three months
following termination of employment (one year if termination is due to permanent
disability). The amount by which the fair market value of the shares acquired
upon exercise of the option exceeds the exercise price will be included as a
positive adjustment in the calculation of the optionee's "alternative minimum
taxable income" in the year of exercise. The "alternative minimum tax" imposed
on individual taxpayers is generally equal to the amount by which a specified
percentage of the individual's alternative minimum taxable income (reduced by
certain exemption amounts) exceeds his or her regular income tax liability for
the year.
If the optionee sells shares acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock
option at any time within one year after the date of exercise or two years after
the date of grant of the option, then:
(1) the optionee will recognize capital gain in an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of the sales price over the fair market value of the shares
on the date of exercise;
(2) the optionee will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to
the excess, if any, of the lesser of the sales price or the fair market
value of the shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price of the
option;
(3) the optionee will recognize capital loss equal to the excess, if
any, of the exercise price over the sales price; and
(4) the Company will generally be entitled to a deduction in an amount
equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the optionee.
If the optionee sells shares acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock
option at any time after the first anniversary of the date of exercise and the
second anniversary of the date of grant of the option, then the optionee will
recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sales price
and the exercise price of the option, and the Company will not be entitled to
any deduction.
Nonqualified Stock Options
The grant of an option or other similar right to acquire Common Stock that
does not qualify for treatment as an incentive stock option is generally not a
taxable event for the optionee. Upon exercise of the option, the optionee will
generally recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair
market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price, and
the Company will be entitled to a deduction equal to such amount. See, however,
"Special Rules for Awards Granted to Insiders." A subsequent sale of the shares
generally will give rise to capital gain or loss equal to the difference
16
<PAGE> 19
between the sales price and the sum of the exercise price paid with respect to
such shares plus the ordinary income recognized with respect to such shares.
Restricted Stock
Awards to employees under the 1995 Plan may include sales, bonuses or other
grants of shares that are subject to restrictions or vesting schedules. The
recipient will generally not be taxed until the restrictions on such shares
expire or are removed, at which time he or she will recognize ordinary income,
and the Company will be entitled to a deduction, in an amount equal to the
excess of the fair market value of the shares at that time over the purchase
price. If the recipient makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code (a "Section 83(b) Election") within 30 days after receiving
restricted shares, he or she will recognize ordinary income, and the Company
will be entitled to a deduction, on the date of receipt of the restricted
shares, equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on that date
over the purchase price.
Special Rules for Awards Granted to Insiders
If an Insider exercises an option within six months of the date of grant,
or receives an award of restricted shares, the Insider will generally not
recognize ordinary income until the date of sale of the shares or, if earlier,
six months after the date of grant of the option or award of the restricted
shares. If the Insider makes a Section 83(b) Election within 30 days after the
date (the "Acquisition Date") of the exercise of the option or the award of the
restricted shares, he or she will recognize ordinary income on the Acquisition
Date equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on that date
over the exercise or purchase price. In addition, special rules apply to an
Insider who exercises an option having an exercise price greater than the fair
market value of the underlying shares on the date of exercise.
Miscellaneous Tax Issues
Awards may be granted under the 1995 Plan that do not fall clearly into the
categories described above. The federal income tax treatment of these awards
will depend upon their specific terms.
Generally, the Company will be required to make arrangements for
withholding applicable taxes with respect to ordinary income recognized by an
employee in connection with awards made under the 1995 Plan. Special rules will
apply in cases where the recipient of an award pays the exercise or purchase
price of the award or applicable withholding tax obligations by delivering
previously owned shares or by reducing the number of shares otherwise issuable
pursuant to the award. Such delivery of shares will in certain circumstances
result in the recognition of income with respect to such shares.
The terms of the agreements pursuant to which specific awards are made to
employees under the 1995 Plan may provide for accelerated vesting or payment of
an award in
17
<PAGE> 20
connection with a change in ownership or control of the Company. In that event
and depending upon the individual circumstances of the recipient, certain
amounts with respect to such awards may constitute "excess parachute payments"
under the "golden parachute" provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant
to these provisions, a recipient will be subject to a 20% excise tax on any
"excess parachute payment" and the Company will be denied any deduction with
respect to such payment. In certain instances, the Company may be denied a
deduction for compensation attributable to awards granted to certain officers of
the Company to the extent such compensation exceeds $1,000,000 in a given year.
BOARD RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of the
Company and its stockholders to adopt the 1995 Plan in order to enable the
Company and its subsidiaries to attract, retain and motivate their employees by
providing for or increasing the proprietary interests of such employees in the
Company. A majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is necessary for the
approval of this proposal.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR
THE APPROVAL OF THE 1995 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN.
RELATIONSHIP WITH INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
It has been the practice of the Company to engage Deloitte & Touche LLP for
annual audit services upon approval by either the Audit Committee or the Board
of Directors. Deloitte & Touche LLP has acted as the Company's independent
public accountant for more than 32 years and will act in that capacity during
the current fiscal year. It is anticipated that a representative of Deloitte &
Touche LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held
August 14, 1995, will be afforded the opportunity to make a statement if desired
and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. The engagement of
Deloitte & Touche LLP for non-audit services is approved by the Vice President
and Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
Proposals of stockholders intended to be presented at the 1996 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders, scheduled for August 12, 1996, must be received by the
Secretary of Computer Sciences Corporation at 2100 East Grand Avenue, El
Segundo, California 90245 no later than March 7, 1996 to be included in the
Company's proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting.
18
<PAGE> 21
OTHER MATTERS
The Management of the Company knows of no other business to be presented at
the meeting. If, however, other matters properly come before the meeting, it is
intended that the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote thereon in
accordance with their best judgment.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS
RETURNING YOUR COMPLETED PROXY CARD PREVENTS ESCHEATMENT
It is very important that you return your voted proxy card to CSC and that CSC
has your current address.
Most state have escheat laws which require CSC to report all accounts when they
meet that state's criteria for abandoned property. While the specified number
of years varies by state, escheatment generally occurs when CSC mail addressed
to you is continually returned undelivered and there is no other contact. CSC
then must invalidate the stock certificate(s) of the escheated shareholders and
turn over the representative shares to the state of the shareholder's last
known residence. After delivery to the state, the stock often is sold and
claimants are given only the proceeds of the sale, which may or may not be to
your benefit, depending on the subsequent trend of the stock price. In
addition, it can take many months to retrieve custody of the stock or the
proceeds from its sale.
Therefore, if you have moved, please give us your new address below:
___________________________________ ______________________
Name(s) under which stock is held Social Security Number
___________________________________ ______________________
Street address City, State, Zip Code
Do you have multiple accounts/Hold
stock under more than one name?
____Yes ____No
Note: CSC employees are requested to notify their local Human Resources
representative of any address change.
