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


         FUJITSU TO OWN 97% OF AMDAHL AFTER ACCEPTING TENDERED SHARES;
                       PLANS TO PROCEED WITH FULL MERGER


        TOKYO, JAPAN AND SUNNYVALE, CALIF., USA -- SEPTEMBER 15, 1997 - FUJITSU 
LIMITED (TSE: 6702) today announced that its tender offer to acquire all
outstanding shares of Amdahl Corporation not currently owned by Fujitsu has
expired as scheduled.

        Preliminary results indicate that as of the expiration of the offer at
5:00 p.m., EDT, Friday, September 12, 1997, 67,292,435 shares had been tendered
and not withdrawn (including 2,662,512 shares tendered pursuant to guarantees
of delivery), representing approximately 55 percent of the outstanding Amdahl
shares. Following acceptance and purchase of the tendered shares, Fujitsu and
its affiliates will own approximately 97 percent of the outstanding Amdahl
shares.  

        Fujitsu said it intends to accept and purchase all the validly tendered
shares for $12.40 per share in cash in accordance with the terms of the offer.
Shortly following such acceptance and payment, the previously announced merger
of Fujitsu's wholly-owned subsidiary, Fujitsu International, Inc., with and into
Amdahl is expected to be consummated pursuant to the short-form merger
provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, whereby Amdahl will become a
wholly owned subsidiary of Fujitsu.

        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) will be converted into the right to receive $12.40 in cash. Shortly
following the merger, materials will be mailed to Amdahl stockholders whose
shares were not tendered, along with a letter of transmittal that will provide
instructions for receiving the $12.40 per share cash payment.
