INTRODUCTION

Amdahl Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby amends
and supplements its Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9
dated August 5, 1997, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 14D-9 dated
August 14, 1997 (as amended, the "Schedule 14D-9"), relating to the tender offer
described in the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1 dated August 5, 1997
(as amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Schedule 14D-1"), which has
been filed by Fujitsu International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Purchaser"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fujitsu Limited, a Japanese
corporation (the "Parent"), and the Parent with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"), and in a Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule
13E-3 dated August 5, 1997 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the
"Schedule 13E-3"), which has been filed by the Parent, the Purchaser and the
Company with the SEC, relating to an offer by the Purchaser to purchase all the
issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.05 per
share (the "Shares"), at a price of $12.40 per Share, net to the seller in cash,
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchaser's Offer
to Purchase dated August 5, 1997 as supplemented by the supplement thereto,
dated August 22, 1997 (the "Supplement"), and the related Letter of Transmittal.
All capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Schedule
14D-9, as amended to date, unless otherwise indicated herein.

ITEM 2. TENDER OFFER OF THE BIDDER

The first sentence of the third paragraph on page 1 of the Schedule 14D-9
under the caption "Item 2. Tender Offer of the Bidder," is hereby amended and
supplemented by reference to the paragraph set forth above under "Introduction."

The second sentence of the fourth paragraph on page 1 of the Schedule
14D-9 under the caption "Item 2. Tender Offer of the Bidder," is hereby amended
and restated to read as follows:

In the Merger, each Share outstanding immediately prior to the effective
time of the Merger (except for Shares held in the treasury of the Company or by
any subsidiary of the Company, Shares registered in the name of the Parent or
the Purchaser and Shares held by stockholders who shall have properly demanded
and perfected appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL")) will, by virtue of the
Merger and without any action by the holder thereof, be converted into the
right to receive $12.40 per Share (or any higher price paid per Share in the
Offer), net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon (the "Merger
Consideration"), upon the surrender of the certificate formerly representing
such Share.

ITEM 4. THE SOLICITATION OF RECOMMENDATION

BACKGROUND OF THE OFFER AND MERGER; PAST CONTACTS, TRANSACTIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS
WITH THE PARENT AND THE PURCHASER

The last sentence of the sixth full paragraph on page 9 of the Schedule
14D-9 under the caption "Item 4. The Solicitation or Recommendation - Background
of the Transaction, Past Contacts, Transactions and Negotiations with the Parent
and the Purchaser - Relationship Between the Company and the Parent and its
Subsidiaries" is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

Currently the Parent holds 51,811,664 Shares, representing 42.10% of the
outstanding Shares (based on the number of Shares outstanding on August 20,
1997).

The third full paragraph on page 15 of the Schedule 14D-9 under the
caption "Item 4. The Solicitation or Recommendation - Background of the
Transaction; Past Contacts, Transactions and Negotiations with the Parent and
the Purchaser - Background and Negotiations relating to the Offer and the
Merger" is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

At a meeting of the Disinterested Board held on July 15, 1997, Morgan
Stanley reported their preliminary estimates of valuation based on the analysis
that Morgan Stanley was asked on July 8, 1997 to perform. These estimates were
based on, among other things financial projections prepared by the Company on
July 3, 1997 for use in connection with this transaction (the "July 3
Projections") and a risk analysis prepared by the Company and Morgan Stanley
designed to quantify various risks associated with achieving the July 3
Projections. Morgan Stanley at that time noted that it was unlikely that a
spin-off of either the products business or the software and services business,
could be effected on a tax-free basis, nor could any such spin-off be effected
without the support of the Parent. In addition, Morgan Stanley noted that the
value of the products business depended on assumptions concerning new or
additional financial responsibilities and contractual agreements that might be
undertaken by the Parent and that the value of the software and services
business was adversely impacted by its recent unprofitability.

The last paragraph on page 16 of the Schedule 14D-9 under the caption
"Item 4. The Solicitation or Recommendation - Background of the Transaction;
Past Contacts, Transactions and Negotiations with the Parent and the Purchaser -
Background and Negotiations relating to the Offer and the Merger" is hereby
amended and restated to read as follows:

At a telephonic meeting of the Disinterested Board held at 6 a.m.
(California time) on July 30, 1997, Morgan Stanley reviewed in detail its
financial analysis of the proposed Offer and Merger. As described in the
section entitled "Opinion of Financial Advisor," Morgan Stanley's financial
analysis of the proposed Offer and Merger was based, in part, on various
financial and operating scenarious prepared by the Company's management and its
advisors. These scenarious included the July 3 Projections, the risk analysis
described above prepared by the Company and Morgan Stanley, and a sensitivity
analysis prepared by Morgan Stanley based, in part, on the July 3 Projections
and using estimates of projected industry performance. The sensitivity analysis
projected the least favorable financial performance for the Company. See
"Opinion of Financial Advisor." At the conclusion of its presentation, Morgan
Stanley delivered to the Disinterested Board its oral opinion (which was
subsequently confirmed in writing) to the effect that the proposed consideration
to be received by the Company's stockholders (other than the Parent and its
affiliates) in the Offer and the Merger is fair from a financial point of view
to the stockholders (other than the Parent and its affiliates). Morgan Stanley's
opinion regarding fairness from a financial point of view rested in part on
"implied valuation ranges," which reflected Morgan Stanley's judgment as applied
to various valuation methodologies. Overall, these valuations produced ranges
from $7.00 to $13.00 per Share. In comparing the Company to other companies,
Morgan Stanley used multiples from certain publicly traded computer hardware
companies, as described in the section headed "Opinion of Financial Advisor."
The Disinterested Board also reviewed the draft of the Merger Agreement that had
been distributed to them by facsimile. The Disinterested Board heard a legal
presentation by a representative of Brobeck with respect to its members'
fiduciary duties and the terms of the proposed Offer and Merger. The
Disinterested Board discussed the terms of the Merger Agreement and requested
certain changes, which were subsequently agreed to by the Parent. Based on such
discussions, presentations and opinion, the Disinterested Board unanimously (i)
approved the Offer, the Merger and the Merger Agreement, in substantially the
form presented to the Disinterested Board, and the transactions contemplated by
the Merger Agreement, (ii) determined that the terms of the Offer and the Merger
are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders (other
than the Parent and its affiliates) and (iii) recommended that the Company's
stockholders accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer and
approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereby.

The discussion on page 17 of the Schedule 14D-9 under the caption "Item 4.
The Solicitation or Recommendation - Certain Litigation" is hereby amended and
supplemented as follows:

By order dated August 8, 1997, the Delaware Court of Chancery granted a
motion for expedited discovery by the plaintiffs in several of the Delaware
actions and set a hearing for a motion for a preliminary injunction in several
of the Delaware actions on August 28, 1997, at 11:00 a.m. On August 11, 1997,
the California Superior Court in the Lacoff and Silverman actions entered
Orders holding proceedings in abeyance pending a decision by the Delaware Court
of Chancery on plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction in several of the
Delaware actions.

Following the filing of such actions, counsel for the plaintiffs and
counsel for the defendants in such actions engaged in expedited discovery for
the purposes of preparing for a hearing on plaintiffs' request for preliminary
injunctive relief. During this discovery period, counsel for the plaintiffs and
counsel for the defendants engaged in extensive discussions regarding the
possibility of settling such actions.

On August 20, 1997, counsel for the plaintiffs in certain of such actions
entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with counsel for the
defendants providing for a proposed settlement of such actions. The MOU provides
for, among other things, (i) the filing of a consolidated amended complaint in
Delaware and the dismissal of the actions in California, (ii) the creation of a
settlement class composed of certain owners of shares, (iii) the increase in the
Offer Price to $12.40 per Share from $12.00 per Share, (iv) certain disclosure
to be disseminated to stockholders of the Company (such disclosure is included
in this Supplement), (v) the certification of the consolidated actions, for
settlement purposes only, as a class action, and such action to be dismissed
with prejudice, (vi) a release in fact of the defendants and others, (vii)
defendants' agreement not to oppose an application by plaintiffs' counsel for an
award of fees not exceeding $7 million and $250,000 in expenses and (viii) the
option of the Parent and the Purchaser to withdraw from the settlement if the
holders of more than 20% of the common shares of the Company owned at the time
of the Merger by persons other than the defendants demand appraisal rights. The
MOU and the proposed settlement are conditioned on, among other things, final
approval by the Delaware Chancery Court. The foregoing description of the MOU is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the MOU, which has
been filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 14D-9.
<PAGE> 3
ITEM 5. PERSONS RETAINED, EMPLOYED OR TO BE COMPENSATED.

The first sentence of the third full paragraph on page 23 of the Schedule
14D-9 under the immediately foregoing caption is hereby amended and restated to
read as follows:

Pursuant to a letter agreement dated July 1, 1997, the Company has agreed
to pay Morgan Stanley a transaction fee, payable upon consummation of the
Merger, of approximately $4.1 million, which is based on the consideration to
be received by the holders of Shares other than the Parent and the Purchaser.

To the Holders of Common Stock of
AMDAHL CORPORATION:

INTRODUCTION

The following information amends and supplements the Offer to Purchase
dated August 5, 1997 (the "Offer to Purchase") of Fujitsu International, Inc.
(the "Purchaser"), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of
Fujitsu Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of Japan (the "Parent").
Pursuant to this Supplement, the Purchaser is now offering to purchase any and
all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $.05 per share (the "Shares"),
of Amdahl Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at a price of
$12.40 per Share, net to the seller in cash (the "Offer Price"), without
interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to
Purchase, as amended and supplemented by this Supplement, and in the revised
Letter of Transmittal (which together, as amended or supplemented from time to
time, constitute the "Offer").

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS SUPPLEMENT, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
PREVIOUSLY SET FORTH IN THE OFFER TO PURCHASE REMAIN APPLICABLE IN ALL RESPECTS
TO THE OFFER, AND THIS SUPPLEMENT SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE OFFER
TO PURCHASE. UNLESS THE CONTEXT REQUIRES OTHERWISE, TERMS NOT DEFINED HEREIN
HAVE THE MEANINGS ASCRIBED TO THEM IN THE OFFER TO PURCHASE.

Procedures for tendering Shares are set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to
Purchase and this Supplement. Tendering stockholders may use either the original
(blue) Letter of Transmittal and the original (grey) Notice of Guaranteed
Delivery previously circulated with the Offer to Purchase, or the revised
(yellow) Letter of Transmittal and the revised (beige) Notice of Guaranteed
Delivery circulated with this Supplement. While the original (blue) Letter of
Transmittal refers only to the Offer to Purchase dated August 5, 1997,
stockholders using such document to tender their Shares will nevertheless
receive $12.40 net per Share for each Share validly tendered and not properly
withdrawn and accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, subject to the
conditions of the Offer. References made herein to the Letter of Transmittal and
the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery shall include references to both the original
and revised versions of such documents as circulated with the Offer to Purchase
and this Supplement, respectively.

SHARES PREVIOUSLY VALIDLY TENDERED AND NOT PROPERLY WITHDRAWN CONSTITUTE
VALID TENDERS FOR PURPOSES OF THE OFFER. STOCKHOLDERS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO TAKE
ANY FURTHER ACTION WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SHARES IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE INCREASED
OFFER PRICE OF $12.40 NET PER SHARE IF SHARES ARE ACCEPTED FOR PAYMENT AND PAID
FOR BY THE PURCHASER PURSUANT TO THE OFFER, EXCEPT AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY THE
GUARANTEED DELIVERY PROCEDURE IF SUCH PROCEDURE WAS UTILIZED. SEE SECTION 3 OF
THIS SUPPLEMENT. SEE SECTION 4 OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE FOR THE PROCEDURES FOR
WITHDRAWING SHARES TENDERED PURSUANT TO THE OFFER.

The discussion set forth in the Introduction of the Offer to Purchase is
hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

In the Merger, at the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding Share
(except for shares held in the treasury of the Company or by any subsidiary
thereof, Shares registered in the name of the Parent or the Purchaser, and
Shares held by stockholders who shall have properly demanded and perfected
appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL) will automatically
be canceled and converted into the right to receive $12.40 in cash (or any
higher per Share price paid for Shares pursuant to the Offer), net to the
holder, without interest. See "SPECIAL FACTORS -- The Merger Agreement."

THE OFFER IS CONDITIONED UPON, AMONG OTHER THINGS, (I) THE SATISFACTION OR
WAIVER OF THE MINIMUM CONDITION, (II) THE EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION OF ANY
APPLICABLE WAITING PERIOD UNDER THE EXON-FLORIO ACT, AND (III) RECEIPT
<PAGE> 4

OF ANY REQUISITE APPROVALS OF THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION AND THE BANK OF JAPAN. THE
OFFER ALSO IS SUBJECT TO THE OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS DESCRIBED IN THE OFFER
TO PURCHASE. AS DESCRIBED IN SECTIONS 10 AND 11 OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE, THE
OFFER IS ALSO CONDITIONED UPON THE EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION OF ANY APPLICABLE
WAITING PERIOD UNDER THE HSR ACT. THIS CONDITION WAS SATISFIED ON AUGUST 11,
1997, WHEN THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
GRANTED THE PARENT EARLY TERMINATION OF THE WAITING PERIOD UNDER THE HSR ACT.
SEE SECTIONS 10 AND 11 OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE AND THIS SUPPLEMENT.

The Company has advised the Purchaser that, as of August 20, 1997, (i) the
number of Shares issued and outstanding was 123,067,004, (ii) there were
outstanding options (the "Options") to purchase an aggregate of 10,175,038
Shares held under the Company Option Plans and (iii) 5,433,019 Shares were
available for issuance under the Company's Stock Purchase Plan. As of August 20,
1997, all of the executive officers and directors of the Company as a group
owned 697,014 Shares and held Options to purchase 1,810,698 Shares (whether or
not vested). The Company has advised the Purchaser that, to the best of the
Company's knowledge, and subject to applicable securities laws, all of the
directors constituting the Disinterested Board and all of the executive officers
of the Company presently intend to tender pursuant to the Offer all Shares owned
by such persons. See "SPECIAL FACTORS -- Interest of Certain Persons in the
Offer and the Merger." Accordingly, based on issued and outstanding Shares,
including those held by executive officers and directors of the Company (as
described above), and on outstanding options to purchase Shares that will vest
prior to the Expiration Date (assuming the Offer expires on September 12, 1997
and assuming the exercise of those options with exercise prices less than
$12.40), in each case as of August 20, 1997, the Minimum Condition will be
satisfied if, in addition to the Shares held by the executive officers and
directors of the Company, approximately 11,691,422 Shares are validly tendered
in the Offer and not withdrawn.

THE OFFER TO PURCHASE, THIS SUPPLEMENT, AND THE RELATED LETTER OF
TRANSMITTAL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION WHICH SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE
ANY DECISION IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE OFFER.

SPECIAL FACTORS

BACKGROUND OF THE OFFER AND MERGER; PAST CONTACTS, TRANSACTIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS
WITH THE COMPANY

The last sentence of the last paragraph on page 3 of the Offer to Purchase
under the caption "SPECIAL FACTORS -- Background of the Offer and the Merger,
Past Contacts, Transactions and Negotiations with the Company -- Relationship
Between the Company and the Parent and its Subsidiaries" is hereby amended and
restated to read as follows:

Currently the Parent holds 51,811,664 Shares, representing 42.10% of the
outstanding Shares (based on the number of Shares outstanding on August 20,
1997, as advised by the Company).

The fifth paragraph on page 9 of the Offer to Purchase under the caption
"SPECIAL FACTORS -- Background of the Offer and the Merger; Past Contacts,
Transactions and Negotiations with the Company -- Background and Negotiations
relating to the Offer and the Merger" is hereby amended and restated to read as
follows:

At a meeting of the Disinterested Board held on July 15, 1997, Morgan
Stanley reported their preliminary estimates of valuation based on the analysis
that Morgan Stanley was asked on July 8, 1997 to perform. These estimates were
based on, among other things, financial projections prepared by the Company on
July 3, 1997 for use in connection with this transaction (the "July 3
Projections") and a risk analysis prepared by the Company and Morgan Stanley
designed to quantify various risks associated with achieving the July 3
Projections. Morgan Stanley at that time noted that it was unlikely that a
spin-off of either the products business or the software and services business,
could be effected on a tax-free basis, nor could any such spin-off be effected
without the support of the Parent. In addition, Morgan Stanley noted that the
value of the products business depended on assumptions concerning new or
additional financial responsibilities and contractual agreements that might be
undertaken by the Parent and that the value of the software and services
business was adversely impacted by its recent unprofitability.

The second full paragraph on page 11 of the Offer to Purchase under the
caption "SPECIAL FACTORS -- Background of the Offer and the Merger; Past
Contacts, Transactions and Negotiations with the Company -- Background and
Negotiations relating to the Offer and the Merger" is hereby amended and
restated to read as follows:

At a telephonic meeting of the Disinterested Board held at 6 a.m.
(California time) on July 30, 1997, Morgan Stanley reviewed in detail its
financial analysis of the proposed Offer and Merger. As described in the section
entitled "Opinion of Financial Advisor to the Disinterested Board," Morgan
Stanley's financial analysis of the proposed Offer and Merger was based, in
part, on various financial and operating scenarios prepared by the Company's
management and its advisors. These scenarios included the July 3 Projections,
the risk analysis described above prepared by the Company and Morgan Stanley,
and a sensitivity analysis prepared by Morgan Stanley based, in part, on the
July 3 Projections and using estimates of projected industry performance. The
sensitivity analysis projected the least favorable financial performance for the
Company. See "Opinion of Financial Advisor to the Disinterested Board." At the
conclusion of its presentation, Morgan Stanley delivered to the Disinterested
Board its oral opinion (which was subsequently confirmed in writing) to the
effect that the proposed consideration to be received by the Company's
stockholders (other than the Parent and its affiliates) in the Offer and the
Merger is fair from a financial point of view to the stockholders (other than
the Parent and its affiliates). Morgan Stanley's opinion regarding fairness from
a financial point of view rested in part on "implied valuation ranges," which
reflected Morgan Stanley's judgment as applied to various valuation
methodologies. See "Opinion of Financial Advisor to the Disinterested Board."
Overall, these valuations generally produced ranges from $7.00 to $13.00. In
comparing the Company to other companies, Morgan Stanley used multiples from
certain publicly traded computer hardware companies, as described in the section
headed "Opinion of Financial Advisor to the Disinterested Board." The
Disinterested Board also reviewed the draft of the Merger Agreement that had
been distributed to them by facsimile. The Disinterested Board heard a legal
presentation by a representative of Brobeck with respect to its members'
fiduciary duties and the terms of the proposed Offer and Merger. The
Disinterested Board discussed the terms of the Merger Agreement and requested
certain changes, which were subsequently agreed to by the Parent.

<PAGE> 6

Based on such discussions, presentations and opinion, the Disinterested Board
unanimously (i) approved the Offer, the Merger and the Merger Agreement, in
substantially the form presented to the Disinterested Board, and the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) determined that the
terms of the Offer and the Merger are fair to and in the best interests of the
Company and its stockholders (other than the Parent and its affiliates) and
(iii) recommended that the Company's stockholders accept the Offer and tender
their Shares pursuant to the Offer and approve and adopt the Merger Agreement
and the transactions contemplated thereby.

The sixth paragraph on page 11 of the Offer to Purchase under the caption
"SPECIAL FACTORS -- Background of the Offer and the Merger; Past Contacts,
Transactions and Negotiations with the Company" is hereby amended and restated
to read as follows:

Certain Litigation. Shortly after the July 30, 1997 public announcement
that the Parent proposed to acquire those Shares of the Company that it did not
already own, several putative class actions were filed in various courts
challenging the fairness of the proposed transaction to the Company
stockholders. After the filing of such actions, counsel for the plaintiffs and
counsel for the defendants in such actions engaged in expedited discovery for
the purposes of preparing for a hearing on plaintiffs' request for preliminary
injunctive relief. During this discovery period, counsel for the plaintiffs and
counsel for the defendants engaged in extensive discussions regarding the
possibility of settling such actions. On August 20, 1997, the parties reached an
agreement-in-principle concerning the proposed settlement of certain of such
actions. Pursuant to such agreement-in-principle, the Purchaser has elected
under the Merger Agreement to increase the Offer Price from $12.00 per Share to
$12.40 per Share. See Section 11.

OPINION OF FINANCIAL ADVISOR TO THE DISINTERESTED BOARD

The first sentence of the first full paragraph on page 18 of the Offer to
Purchase is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

Pursuant to a letter agreement dated July 1, 1997, the Company has agreed
to pay Morgan Stanley a transaction fee, payable upon consummation of the
Merger, of approximately $4.1 million, which is based on the consideration to be
received by the holders of Shares other than the Parent and the Purchaser.

Shortly after the July 30, 1997 public announcement that the Parent
proposed to acquire those Shares of the Company that it did not already own,
several putative class actions were filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery and
in the California Superior Court for the County of Santa Clara challenging the
fairness of the proposed transaction to Company stockholders. Cases filed in the
Delaware Court of Chancery as of August 19, 1997 are: Lopez v. Amdahl Corp., et
al. (Civ. Act. No. 15833NC), filed July 30, 1997; Kaltman v. Lewis, et al. (Civ.
Act. No. 15834NC), filed July 30, 1997; Uzzo v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No.
15837), filed July 31, 1997; O'Shea v. Kojima, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15838),
filed July 31, 1997; Gachot & Gachot, Inc. v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ. Act.
No. 15839), filed July 31, 1997; Crandon Capital Partners v. Lewis, et al. (Civ.
Act. No. 15840), filed July 31, 1997; Bodakian v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ.
Act. No. 15841), filed July 31, 1997; McCeady v. Amdahl Corp. (Civ. Act. No.
15845), filed July 31, 1997; Zicherman v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15847NC),
filed August 1, 1997; Halebian v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15850NC), filed
August 1, 1997; Cohen v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15851NC), filed
August 4, 1997, and Millet v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15857), filed
August 5, 1997. Cases filed in the California Superior Court for the County of
Santa Clara as of August 1, 1997 are: Lacoff v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Case No.
CV767860), filed July 30, 1997; and Silverman v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Case No.
CV767896), filed August 1, 1997.

In substance, the complaints allege that because of the Parent's ownership
of approximately 42% of the Company, the relationship between the Parent and the
Company and the alleged control of the Parent over the Company's officers and
directors, the Parent dictated the terms of the transaction and that those terms
do not reflect the fair value of the Company. The complaints also allege that
the defendants -- the Parent, the Company and several individuals serving as
officers or directors of one or more of those companies -- possess material
non-public information regarding the fair value of the Company and breached
their fiduciary and other duties to the public stockholders of the Company by
failing to take adequate steps to determine the fair value of the Company or to
condition the Offer on acceptance by holders of a majority of the Shares held by
persons other than the Parent and its affiliates. The relief sought by the
plaintiffs includes an injunction against the acquisition of Shares by the
Parent; an injunction requiring that certain steps be taken to evaluate the
value of the Company; a declaration that defendants have breached their
fiduciary and other duties; an accounting for damages; compensatory and/or
rescissionary damages; costs of suit; and attorneys' and experts' fees in
unspecified amounts.

By Order dated August 8, 1997, the Delaware Court of Chancery granted a
motion for expedited discovery by the plaintiffs in several of the Delaware
actions and set a hearing for a motion for a preliminary injunction in several
of the Delaware actions on August 28, 1997, at 11:00 a.m. On August 11, 1997,
the California Superior Court in the Lacoff and Silverman actions entered Orders
holding proceedings in abeyance pending a decision by the Delaware Court of
Chancery on plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction in several of the
Delaware actions.

<PAGE> 12

The MOU provides for, among other things, (i) the filing of a consolidated
amended complaint in Delaware and the dismissal of the actions in California,
(ii) the creation of a settlement class composed of certain owners of Shares,
(iii) the increase in the Offer Price to $12.40 per Share from $12.00 per Share,
(iv) certain disclosure to be disseminated to stockholders of the Company (such
disclosure is included in this Supplement), (v) the certification of the
consolidated actions, for settlement purposes only, as a class action, and such
action to be dismissed with prejudice, (vi) a release of the defendants and
others, (vii) defendants' agreement not to oppose an application by plaintiffs'
counsel for an award of fees not exceeding $7 million and $250,000 in expenses,
and (viii) the option of the Parent and the Purchaser to withdraw from the
settlement if the holders of more than 20% of the Shares owned at the time of
the Merger by persons other than the defendants demand appraisal rights. The MOU
and the proposed settlement are conditioned on, among other things, final
approval by the Delaware Chancery Court. The foregoing description of the MOU is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the MOU, which has been
filed as an exhibit to the Schedule 14D-1.

SECTION 12. FEES AND EXPENSES.

The discussion set forth on pages 59 and 60 of the Offer to Purchase under
the immediately foregoing caption is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

In addition to the expenses described above, pursuant to the MOU, the
defendants in the actions described therein have agreed not to oppose an
application by plaintiffs' counsel for an award of fees not exceeding $7 million

AMDAHL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

The accompanying interim financial statements and related notes should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in
the Company's 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders.

RELATIONSHIP WITH FUJITSU LIMITED

During the second quarter of 1997 the Company recognized equipment sales to
Fujitsu Limited (Fujitsu) under distributorship and other arrangements which
contributed $1,700,000 to equipment sales compared to $1,830,000 in the second
quarter of 1996 ($6,854,000 and $9,316,000 for the first six months of 1997 and
1996, respectively).

Fujitsu reimburses Amdahl for certain specific engineering development
activities performed by Amdahl from time to time related to products which are
being jointly developed by Amdahl and Fujitsu. In connection with these
development efforts, Amdahl recorded $6,832,000 as an offset to engineering and
development expenses in the second quarter of 1997, compared to $6,200,000 in
the second quarter of 1996 ($15,735,000 and $12,400,000 for the first six months
of 1997 and 1996, respectively).

In March 1997 Amdahl granted Fujitsu a license for certain storage system
software for use in conjunction with Fujitsu's proprietary operating system for
$4,700,000. This amount was recognized in first quarter 1997 as software
revenue. In addition, Fujitsu has agreed to pay Amdahl a total of $18,200,000
during 1997 in compensation for changes requested by Fujitsu to development
schedules for storage products currently being developed by Fujitsu for the
Company under existing joint development programs. Of this compensation, the
Company recorded $6,000,000 as an offset to engineering and development expenses
in the second quarter of 1997 ($12,200,000 for the first six months of 1997, of
which 6,000,000 was recorded as an offset to engineering and development
expenses and $6,200,000 was recorded as an offset to equipment cost of
revenues).

Amounts due from Fujitsu and their subsidiaries included in receivables
were $24,218,000 and $43,906,000 as of June 27,1997 and December 27, 1996,
respectively.

At June 27, 1997 and December 27, 1996, $80,000,000 was outstanding under
the loan agreement with Fujitsu. The terms of the loan were renegotiated in
January 1997, and the full amount is payable in January 1998. Interest expense
associated with the loan was $1,400,000 and $1,364,000 in the second quarters of
1997 and 1996, respectively ($2,775,000 and $2,922,000 in the first six months
of 1997 and 1996, respectively).

SUPPLEMENTARY CASH FLOW DISCLOSURE

Income taxes of $9,525,000 (net of taxes refunded of $557,000) were paid by
the Company in the first six months of 1997, and income taxes of $3,162,000 (net
of taxes refunded of $7,021,000) were paid by the Company in the first six
months of 1996. Interest paid on all borrowings was $4,713,000 and $4,842,000
for the first six months of 1997 and 1996, respectively.

NONCASH INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Net inventory capitalized into property, plant and equipment was $7,002,000
in the second quarter of 1997, compared to a net transfer of Amdahl-manufactured
systems from net property, plant and equipment to inventories of $3,771,000 in
the second quarter of 1996. Net inventory capitalized into property, plant and
equipment was $19,603,000 in the first six months of 1997 and $3,174,000 in the
first six months of 1996.

BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

On April 16, 1997, Amdahl's professional services company, DMR Trecom,
Inc., acquired William J. Kelley & Co., Inc. (Kelley), a Boston-based
information technology firm. Under the stock purchase agreement, $3 million of
the purchase price was paid in April 1997 and $2.1 million is payable without
interest in April 1998. The present value of the aggregate purchase price at the
acquisition date, including acquisition costs, was $5.5 million.

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly, a portion of the purchase price was allocated to the net assets
acquired based on their estimated fair values.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 30, 1997 the Company and Fujitsu entered into a merger agreement
whereby Fujitsu, through one of its subsidiaries, will purchase for $12.00 per
share in cash all outstanding shares of Amdahl stock not currently owned by
Fujitsu for approximately $850 million. The merger agreement was unanimously
approved by the Amdahl directors who are unaffiliated with Fujitsu.

In accordance with the agreement, Fujitsu commenced a tender offer on
Tuesday, August 5, 1997. The tender offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m.
EDT, Friday, September 5, 1997, unless extended. Pursuant to the merger
agreement, if the tender offer is consummated, Fujitsu will be obligated to
acquire any remaining Amdahl shares in a cash merger at the same price as the
tender offer. Fujitsu currently owns approximately 42 percent of Amdahl's
shares. The tender offer is subject to several conditions, including the tender
of a minimum number of shares that, when added to Fujitsu's existing 42 percent
stake, will represent 51 percent of the outstanding Amdahl shares on a fully
diluted basis, and other customary conditions. The merger agreement further
provides that upon acquisition of the minimum number of shares by Fujitsu's
subsidiary, that subsidiary will be merged with and into the Company, and the
separate corporate existence of the subsidiary shall cease with Amdahl
continuing as the surviving corporation.

Shortly after the July 30, 1997 public announcement that Fujitsu proposed
to acquire those shares of the Company that it did not already own, several
putative class actions were filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery and in the
California Superior Court for the County of Santa Clara challenging the fairness
of the proposed transaction to Company stockholders. Cases filed in the Delaware
Court of Chancery as of August 1, 1997 are: Lopez v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ.
Act. No. 15833NC), filed July 30, 1997; Kaltman v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No.
15834NC), filed July 30, 1997; Uzzo v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15837, filed
July 31, 1997; O'Shea v. Kojima, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15838), filed July 31,
1997; Gachot & Gachot, Inc. v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15839), filed
July 31, 1997; Crandon Capital Partners v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15840),
filed July 31, 1997; Bodakian v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15841),
filed July 31, 1997; McCeady v. Amdahl Corp. (Civ. Act. No. 15845), filed July
31, 1997; Zicherman v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15847NC), filed August 1,
1997 and Halebian v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15850NC), filed August 1,
1997. Cases filed in the California Superior Court for the county of Santa Clara
as of August 1, 1997 are: Lacoff v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Case No. CV767860),
filed July 30, 1997; and Silverman v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Case No. CV767896),
filed August 1, 1997. In substance, the complaints allege that because of
Fujitsu's ownership of approximately 42% of the Company, the relationship
between Fujitsu and the Company and the alleged control of Fujitsu over the
Company's officers and directors, Fujitsu dictated the terms of the transaction
and that those terms do not reflect the fair value of the Company. The
complaints also allege that the defendants -- Fujitsu, the Company and several
individuals serving as officers or directors of one or more of those
companies -- possess material non-public information regarding the fair value of
the Company and breached their fiduciary and other duties to the public
stockholders of the Company by failing to take adequate steps to determine the
fair value of the Company or to condition the offer on acceptance by holders of
a majority of the shares held by persons other than Fujitsu and its affiliates.
The relief sought by the

I-7
<PAGE> 20

AMDAHL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)

plaintiffs includes an injunction against the acquisition of shares by Fujitsu;
an injunction requiring that certain steps be taken to evaluate the value of the
Company; a declaration that defendants have breached their fiduciary and other
duties; an accounting for damages; compensatory and/or rescissionary damages;
costs of suit; and attorneys' and experts' fees in unspecified amounts. The
Company believes, and understands that Fujitsu believes, that all of these suits
are without merit and intends to vigorously defend such suits.

On May 5, 1997 a jury rendered a verdict in favor of one of the Company's
suppliers in the amount of $3.8 million as a result of a lawsuit arising out of
a contract dispute. The Company was also liable for interest and attorneys' fees
but was entitled to a credit for equipment returned by the Company and either
resold or utilized by the supplier for other purposes. Pursuant to a settlement
and release agreement, the Company made a final payment to the supplier of $4.8
million on July 22, 1997. Full provision for the settlement and related legal
costs have been recognized in the Company's financial statements.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In February 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings per Share,
which will be adopted by the Company in the fourth quarter of 1997. SFAS No. 128
requires companies to compute net income per share under two different methods,
basic and diluted, and to disclose the methodology used for the calculation. If
SFAS No. 128 had been applied by the Company during the second quarter and six
months ended June 27, 1997 and June 28, 1996, basic net income per share and
diluted net income per share would not have changed from what has been reported.

In July 1997 the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, was issued and is effective for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 1997. The adoption of SFAS No. 130 is not
expected to have a material effect on the financial statements.

FUJITSU AND AMDAHL ANNOUNCE SETTLEMENT OF STOCKHOLDER LAWSUITS

TOKYO, JAPAN & SUNNYVALE, CA., USA -- AUGUST 20, 1997 -- FUJITSU LIMITED
(TSE: 6702) AND AMDAHL CORPORATION (AMEX: AMH) today jointly announced that they
have reached an agreement in principle to resolve stockholder litigation filed
against the companies and against certain of Amdahl's present and former
directors in connection with Fujitsu's proposed acquisition of all outstanding
shares of Amdahl not currently owned by Fujitsu pursuant to a merger agreement
dated July 30, 1997, and subsequent tender offer.

The agreement in principle provides for an increase in the offer price to
$12.40 per share from $12.00 per share in both the tender offer and subsequent
merger, and for certain additional disclosures to be made in a supplement to the
tender offer materials. Stockholders who have already validly tendered their
shares and do not withdraw their shares will be paid $12.40 per share without
taking any further action, if shares are accepted for payment pursuant to the
tender offer.

The defendants continue to deny any wrongdoing in connection with the
tender offer and proposed merger and have agreed to amend the tender offer in
order to avoid the disruption and expense of further litigation.

Fujitsu said that it will amend and supplement the tender offer materials
to reflect these amendments and redistribute such materials to Amdahl's
stockholders.

TOKYO, JAPAN & SUNNYVALE, CA., USA -- AUGUST 22, 1997 - FUJITSU LIMITED
(TSE: 6702) AND AMDAHL CORPORATION (AMEX: AMH) today jointly announced, in
connection with Fujitsu's proposed acquisition of all outstanding shares of

both the tender offer and the subsequent merger, and certain additional
disclosures, pursuant to the settlement of stockholder litigation which was

Fujitsu today also announced that the expiration time of the tender

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

This Memorandum of Understanding (the "Memorandum") is entered into by
and between the undersigned law firms on behalf of all plaintiffs in the class
action litigation generally described below (collectively, "Plaintiffs"), and
Amdahl Corporation ("Amdahl" or the "Company"), Fujitsu Limited ("Fujitsu"),
Fujitsu International, Inc. ("Fujitsu International") and the individuals named
as defendants in such litigation, including directors and former directors of
Amdahl, John C. Lewis, Michael R. Hallman, E. F. Heizer, Jr., Burton G. Malkiel,
George R. Packard, Walter B. Reinhold, J. Sidney Webb, Kazuto Kojima, Takeshi
Maruyama, Takashi Takaya, Keizo Fukagawa and Takamitsu Tsuchimoto (collectively,
"Defendants").

FACT RECITALS

A. Each of the Plaintiffs is and was as of the date of the filing of
such person's complaint herein the record and beneficial owner of shares of the
common stock of Amdahl ("Amdahl common stock").

B. The Plaintiffs in the below-referenced stockholder class actions have
challenged a tender offer (the "Offer") and merger transaction contemplated by
the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of July 30,
1997, by and among Fujitsu, a Japanese corporation, Fujitsu International, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Fujitsu, and Amdahl, a Delaware corporation, pursuant
to which Fujitsu International offered to acquire all outstanding shares of
common stock of Amdahl in the Offer, and, following the completion of the Offer,
Fujitsu International would be merged (the "Merger") with and into the Company,
with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Fujitsu.

<PAGE> 2

C. Shortly after the July 30, 1997 public announcement of the Offer,
Merger and Merger Agreement, several putative class actions were filed in the
Delaware Court of Chancery and in the California Superior Court for the County
of Santa Clara challenging the fairness of the proposed transaction to Company
stockholders. Cases filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery as of August 5, 1997
include: Lopez v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15833NC), filed July 30,
1997; Kaltman v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15834NC), filed July 30, 1997;
Uzzo v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15837), filed July 31, 1997; O'Shea v.
Kojima, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15838), filed July 31, 1997; Gachot & Gachot, Inc.
v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15839), filed July 31, 1997; Crandon
Capital Partners v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15840), filed July 31, 1997;
Bodakian v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15841), filed July 31, 1997;
McCeady v. Amdahl Corp. (Civ. Act. No. 15845), filed July 31, 1997; Halebian v.
Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15850NC), filed August 1, 1997; Cohen v. Amdahl
Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15051), filed August 4, 1997; and Millet v. Amdahl
Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15057), filed on August 5, 1997 (collectively, the
"Delaware Actions"). Cases filed in the California Superior Court for the County
of Santa Clara as of August 1, 1997 are: Lacoff v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Case
No. CV767860), filed July 30, 1997; and Silverman v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Case
No. CV767896), filed August 1, 1997 (collectively, the "California Actions").

D. Plaintiffs shall file a consolidated amended complaint (the "Amended
Complaint"), and agree to consolidate the Delaware Actions under the caption In
re Amdahl Corporation Shareholders Litig., Consolidated C.A. No. 15833 (the
"Consolidated Action"). Plaintiffs' counsel shall cause the California Actions
to be dismissed with prejudice, and this

<PAGE> 3

agreement-in-principle is contingent upon a final dismissal with prejudice of
the California Actions.

E. The complaints referred to in paragraph C above and the proposed
Amended Complaint referred to in paragraph D (hereinafter collectively the
"Actions") challenge and seek to enjoin the Offer and the consummation of the
Merger between Amdahl and Fujitsu International. Under the Merger Agreement,
subject to certain conditions, each shareholder of Amdahl would receive $12 for
each share of Amdahl stock tendered under the terms of the Offer, and any shares
of Amdahl stock not purchased in the Offer would receive $12 per share in a
second-step Merger in which Fujitsu International would be merged with and into
Amdahl.

F. In the Actions, Plaintiffs alleged, inter alia, that various of the
Defendants breached their fiduciary duties to plaintiffs in connection with the
Offer and Merger by, among other things: (i) failing to act independently to
maximize shareholder value in furtherance of the best interests of the
shareholders and the Company; (ii) failing to explore adequately all
alternatives available to the Company's stockholders; (iii) agreeing to sell the
Company to Fujitsu at an inadequate price; and (iv) inadequately disclosing to
Amdahl's shareholders the events leading up to the Offer and the Merger
Agreement and the factors relevant to the shareholders' decision whether to
tender their shares.

G. The Actions further allege that Fujitsu violated fiduciary
obligations it owed to the shareholders of Amdahl by virtue of its affiliation
with, control of and ownership interest in Amdahl by, inter alia, failing to pay
a fair price for the public shareholders' stock; failing to implement a fair
process for the purchase of the shares of Amdahl's public stockholders; and
failing to make full and accurate disclosures concerning the events leading up
to the Offer, the

<PAGE> 4

Merger Agreement and factors relevant to Amdahl's shareholders' decision whether
to tender their shares into the Offer.

H. After the filing of the Delaware and California Actions, Plaintiffs'
counsel and counsel for Defendants engaged in expedited discovery for the
purposes of preparing for a hearing on Plaintiffs' request for preliminary
injunctive relief. During this discovery period, counsel for Plaintiffs and
Defendants engaged in extensive and good faith discussions regarding the
possibility of settling the Litigation. On August 20, 1997, the parties to the
Litigation reached an agreement-in-principle concerning the proposed settlement
of the Litigation as set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Purpose And Scope Of This Memorandum. The purpose of this Memorandum
is to set forth the agreement-in-principle of the parties to the Consolidated
Action with respect to the matters addressed below. However, the obligations of
the parties pursuant to this Memorandum are subject to modifications, if
necessary. Any necessary adjustments will be made on a mutually agreeable basis
so as to preserve the economic, operational and other objectives of the parties
in reaching this agreement-in-principle.

2. Principal Terms Of The Settlement. The following are the principal
terms of the agreement-in-principle to be embodied in definitive documents to be
executed by the appropriate parties (the "Settlement"):

(a) Increased Offer Price. The Offer on August 5, 1997, provided for
an Offer Price, as defined in the Merger Agreement, of $12.00 net cash per
share. As a result of the Actions, Fujitsu and/or Fujitsu International agree to
increase the Offer Price by an additional

<PAGE> 5

$0.40 per share to $12.40 net cash per share, in consideration for a release
substantially in the form set forth below.

(b) Defendants' Right to Withdraw. Fujitsu and Fujitsu International
shall have the option to withdraw from the Settlement in the event that holders
of more than 20% of the common shares of Amdahl owned at the time of the Merger
by persons other than the Defendants and any person, firm, trust, corporation or
other entity related to or affiliated with any of them or their successors in
interest, have demanded appraisal for their common shares and have not withdrawn
their demand.

(c) Disclosure. Counsel for Plaintiffs have reviewed and commented
upon the disclosure materials relating to the Offer, Merger Agreement and the
Merger. Based upon their investigation, Plaintiffs hereby agree and confirm that
such disclosure materials, as modified, adequately and reasonably disclose all
material facts about the Defendants, the relationship of Amdahl and Fujitsu, the
history of the negotiations leading up to the Merger Agreement, the Offer, the
Merger and Merger Agreement.

3. The parties agree to enter into a stipulation of settlement (and such
other and related documentation as may be necessary) which will provide for the
settlement of the Consolidated Action (the "Settlement Agreement") on, among
other terms, the following conditions:

(a) for certification, for settlement purposes only, of a mandatory
non-opt-out class under Delaware Chancery Court Rule 23(b)(1) and 23(b)(2) of
all record and beneficial holders of Amdahl common stock (other than the
Defendants and their affiliates) during the period beginning on and including
July 30, 1997 through and including the date of the

<PAGE> 6

consummation of the Merger (the "Merger Date"), including any and all of their
respective predecessors, trustees, executors, administrators, representatives,
heirs, transferees, successors in interest and assigns, immediate and remote,
and any person claiming under any of them, and each of them, and excluding the
Defendants and any person, firm, trust, corporation or other entity related to
or affiliated with any of them or their successors in interest (the "Class").
The terms of the Settlement Agreement will consist of the terms outlined above
in paragraph 2, as well as releases and covenants not to sue and other terms in
form customarily included in such agreements. The parties agree to use their
best efforts to obtain Court approval of such Settlement.

(b) for the complete discharge, dismissal with prejudice, settlement
and release of, and an injunction barring, all claims, demands, rights, actions
or causes of action, rights, liabilities, damages, losses, obligations,
judgments, suits, matters and issues of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether
known or unknown, contingent or absolute, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or
undisclosed, matured or unmatured, that have been, could have been, or in the
future can or might be asserted in the Actions or in any court, tribunal or
proceedings (including, but not limited to, any claims arising under federal or
state law relating to alleged fraud, breach of any duty, negligence, violations
of the federal securities laws or otherwise) by or on behalf of any member of
the Class, whether individual, class, derivative, representative, legal,
equitable or any other type or in any other capacity against Defendants or any
of their families, parent entities, associates, affiliates or subsidiaries and
each and all of their respective past, present or future officers, directors,
stockholders, representatives, employees, attorneys, financial or investment
advisors, consultants, accountants, attorneys, investment bankers, commercial

6
<PAGE> 7

bankers, engineers, advisors or agents, heirs, executors, trustees, general or
limited partners or partnerships, personal representatives, estates,
administrators, predecessors, successors and assigns and all other persons
(collectively, the "Released Persons") which have arisen, could have arisen,
arise now or hereafter arise out of, or relate in any manner to, the
allegations, facts, events, transactions, acts, occurrences, statements,
representations, misrepresentations, omissions or any other matter, thing or
cause whatsoever, or any series thereof, embraced, involved, set forth or
otherwise related, directly or indirectly, to any of the Actions, the Offer,
Merger, the Merger Agreement, or any related transaction or documents, the
negotiation, consideration and approval thereof, or of the fiduciary or
disclosure obligation of any of the Released Persons in any tender offer
materials, proxy materials, public filings or statements (including, but not
limited to, public statements) by the Released Persons in connection with the
Offer, Merger, or the Merger Agreement (collectively, the "Settled Claims);
provided, however, that the Settled Claims shall not include (i) the right of
the Plaintiffs or any members of the Class or Released Persons to enforce the
terms of the Settlement Agreement, or (ii) any appraisal rights arising out of
the Merger;

(c) that the Defendants have denied, and continue to deny, that any
of them have committed or have threatened to commit any violations of law or
breaches of duty to the Plaintiffs, the members of the Class or anyone;

(d) that the Defendants are entering into this Memorandum, and will
be entering into the Settlement Agreement, because, among other reasons, the
proposed Settlement would eliminate the burden and expense of further
litigation; and

<PAGE> 8

(e) subject to the order of the Court, pending final determination
of whether the settlement provided for in the Settlement Agreement should be
approved, that Plaintiffs and all members of the Class, or any of them, are
barred and enjoined from commencing, prosecuting, instigating or in any way
participating in the commencement of any action asserting any claims, either
directly, representatively, derivatively or in any other capacity, against any
of the Released Persons which have been or could have been asserted, or which
arise out of, or relate in any way to, the Settled Claims, or which arise out of
or relate in any way to any of the transactions or events described in any
complaint in the Actions.

4. Cooperation. The parties, through their counsel, (i) agree to use
their best efforts to pursue the Settlement of the Consolidated Action in as
expeditious and comprehensive a manner as possible and acknowledge that time is
of the essence; and (ii) agree to cooperate in preparing any and all necessary
papers to define, pursue and effectuate the Settlement of the Consolidated
Action.

5. Pending negotiation, execution and approval of the Settlement by the
Delaware Court of Chancery (hereinafter, the "Court"), the Plaintiffs agree to
stay any discovery, to withdraw on August 21, 1997, their motion for a
preliminary injunction in the Delaware Actions, and to stay and not initiate any
and all other proceedings in the Consolidated Action other than those incident
to the Settlement itself. The parties also agree to use their best efforts to
prevent, stay or seek dismissal of or oppose entry of any interim or final
relief in favor of the Plaintiffs or any putative Class member in any other
litigation against any of the parties to this Memorandum which challenges the
Settlement, Offer, Merger, Merger Agreement, or related transactions.

8
<PAGE> 9

6. The parties to the Consolidated Action will use their best efforts
to agree upon, execute and present to the Court, on or before August 29, 1997, a
formal Stipulation of Settlement and such other documents as may be necessary
and appropriate to obtain the prompt approval by the Court contemplated herein
and by the Stipulation of Settlement.

7. The Settlement will not be binding upon any party until, and is
otherwise subject to:

(a) a formal Stipulation of Settlement (and such other documentation
as may be required to obtain final approval by the Court of the Settlement) has

(b) final approval by the Court of the Settlement (and the
exhaustion of possible appeals, if any) and the dismissal of the Consolidated
Action by the Court with prejudice and without awarding costs to any party
(except as provided herein) have been obtained, and entry by the Court of a
final order and judgment containing such release language as is negotiated by
the parties and contained in the Stipulation of Settlement.

8. If the Settlement is not consummated in accordance with Paragraph 7,
this Memorandum shall be null and void and of no force and effect, and shall not
be deemed, used or offered to prejudice in any way the positions of the parties
or any Released Persons with respect to the Consolidated Action or otherwise,
nor to entitle any party to the recovery of costs and expenses incurred to
implement this Memorandum (except as provided in paragraph 10 hereof).

9. In connection with the Settlement contemplated by this Memorandum,
Plaintiffs' counsel will apply to the Court for an aggregate award of attorneys'
fees and expenses, including fees and expenses for or payable to any financial
advisors engaged by or for the

<PAGE> 10
Plaintiffs, in an amount not to exceed $7,000,000 in attorney's fees and
$250,000 in expenses (collectively, the "Fees and Expenses"). Defendants agree
that they will not oppose such application. Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Memorandum and the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement
contemplated hereby, Fujitsu, Fujitsu International and/or Amdahl shall pay, on
behalf of and for the benefit of the Defendants in the Consolidated Action, such
Fees and Expenses as may be awarded by the Court in accordance with the terms of
the Stipulation in addition to the consideration referred to in paragraph 2(a)
above. Except as provided herein, the Released Persons shall bear no other

Plaintiffs, by any member of the Class, or by any of their attorneys, experts,
advisors, agents or representatives.

10. Fujitsu, Fujitsu International and/or Amdahl shall be responsible
for providing notice of the Settlement to the members of the Class. Fujitsu,
Fujitsu International and/or Amdahl, on behalf of and for the benefit of all
Defendants in the Consolidated Action, shall bear responsibility for all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred in providing notice of the Settlement to

11. The provisions contained in this Memorandum shall not be deemed a
presumption, concession or an admission by any Defendant in the Consolidated
Action of any fault, liability or wrongdoing as to any facts or claims alleged
or asserted in the Consolidated Action, or any other actions or proceedings, and
shall not be interpreted, construed, deemed, invoked, offered, or received in
evidence or otherwise used by any person in the Consolidated Action or in any
other action or proceedings, whether civil, criminal or administrative.

10
<PAGE> 11
12. This Memorandum constitutes the essential terms of the agreement
among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be
amended nor any of its provisions waived except by a writing signed by all of
the signatories hereto.

13. This Memorandum and the Settlement contemplated by it shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
Delaware, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
