FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Computervision Arranges Bridge Loan Facility
BEDFORD, Mass., September 3, 1997 -- Computervision Corporation
(NYSE:CVN) today announced the closing of a $8.5 million bridge
loan facility with M.D. Sass Corporate Resurgence Partners, L.P.
Resurgence is an affiliate of M.D. Sass Associates, Inc., the
Company's largest shareholder.
The bridge loan facility is intended to temporarily replace the
facility that the Company previously had with a group of banks.
The bridge loan facility matures upon the earlier of 180 days from
August 27, 1997, or at the closing of a replacement facility.
Borrowing under the facility will bear interest at the rate of 15%
per annum, paid monthly. Computervision also paid a commitment
fee of $85,000 and issued a seven-year warrant to purchase
approximately 635,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a
price of approximately $3.44.
Computervision president and CEO Kathleen Cote said: "This
facility provides us a period of time to find a more permanent
credit facility that will meet our needs as a pure software
company. Our previous facility was put in place when a
substantial portion of Computervision's business involved computer
hardware services, a business line that was sold on July 18, 1997,
to CVSI, Inc." In that transaction, Computervision received
$32.6 million in cash and a note and continues to hold 24% of the
Class A voting stock of CVSI.
Computervision Corporation is the leading international supplier
of Electronic Product Definition(TM) (EPD(TM)) solutions. EPD is
Computervision's product and process response to the customer need
to concurrently create, manage, share and reuse electronic product
information in a collaborative environment throughout a product's
life cycle and across a distributed value chain. Computervision is

Except for the historical information contained herein, matters
discussed in this news release may constitute forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected. These
include the time period required to find a permanent replacement
credit facility as well as risks and uncertainties that are
detailed from time to time in reports filed by Computervision with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's
most recent reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q.
