FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
- ---------------------

        FUJITSU-AMDAHL TRANSACTION CLEARS ALL MAJOR REGULATORY HURDLES;
               MINIMUM SHARE CONDITION OF TENDER OFFER FULFILLED

        TOKYO, JAPAN AND SUNNYVALE, CA., USA -- SEPTEMBER 10, 1997 - FUJITSU 
LIMITED (TSE: 6702) today announced that all material reviews by governmental
agencies of the United States, Japan, Canada and Europe have been completed and
necessary approvals obtained in connection with its proposed acquisition of all
the outstanding shares of Amdahl Corporation not currently owned by Fujitsu.

        Fujitsu also said that, as of the close of trading on the American
Stock Exchange on Tuesday, September 9, 18,749,725 shares of Amdahl stock have
been tendered. Together with the shares of Amdahl stock already owned by
Fujitsu, these tendered shares would give Fujitsu ownership of approximately
57 percent of Amdahl, exceeding the minimum number of shares that Fujitsu must
receive as a condition of closing the tender offer.

        With the completion of the governmental reviews and the satisfaction of 
the minimum share condition, all major conditions to the acceptance and payment
for shares tendered in response to Fujitsu's tender offer have been fulfilled
and Fujitsu anticipates consummating the tender offer. The tender offer for
Amdahl stock at $12.40 per share, which was announced July 30 and amended August
22, 1997, remains subject to certain other conditions and is scheduled to expire
at 5 p.m., EDT, on Friday, September 12, unless further extended. Questions
regarding the proper procedure for tendering shares should be directed to
MacKenzie Partners, Inc., at (800) 322-2885.

        In the United States, the Fujitsu-Amdahl transaction was approved by
the U.S. Department of Treasury's Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S.,
which on September 2 determined that the proposed transaction does not raise
U.S. national security issues requiring further review under the Exon-Florio
Amendments to the Defense Production Act; and the Defense Investigative Service
of the U.S. Department of Defense, which on August 18 determined that the
proposed transaction does not require any additional measures be taken pursuant
to the National Industrial Security Program. Last month, as previously
announced, the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission
granted Fujitsu and Amdahl early termination of the waiting period under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.

        In Japan, the Bank of Japan on September 8 formally approved the
transaction under Japan's Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Control Act. In
Europe, the Commission of the European Communities on September 8 decided not
to oppose the transaction and declared it compatible with the common market
principles of the European Union. In Canada, the Director of Investigation and
Research on August 14 issued an advanced ruling certificate exempting the
parties from mandatory pre-notification under Canada's Competition Act.
