CSC Commits to South Africa through Landmark 30 Percent Equity Sale


CENTURY CITY, South Africa, November 23, 2010- Sale Endorses Commitment to Region and Anticipation to Receive Required BEE Accreditation

Global IT Services company CSC (NYSE: CSC) today announced the completion of a landmark agreement, subject to the usual regulatory and other conditions for transactions of this nature, selling a 30 percent equity stake in its South African business to Amabubesi Capital, an investment group in South Africa. The sale endorses CSC's commitment to growing its business in the region with the company expected to receive the required Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) Accreditation once the process is completed.

BEE is a strategic initiative implemented by the South African government to promote economic transformation in the country by ensuring that previously disadvantaged individuals have the opportunity to participate in South African business and the economy.

Under the terms of the agreement, Peter Moyo, director and co-founder of Amabubesi, will become the Chairman of CSC's South African Subsidiary's Board. His team will also join this Board and will assist CSC in the implementation of their growth strategy and business development activities.

Peter Drube, managing director of CSC's South African business commented:
"This agreement is fundamental for CSC to realize its ambition to grow our business in the South Africa region. Achieving the BEE accreditation will give us the opportunity to deliver and implement innovative technologies and services to organizations across the region as the country's economy continues to grow."

Peter Moyo, director and co-founder of Amabubesi said: "We are delighted to be working with CSC and look forward to achieving our shared growth aspirations for our businesses. Through this agreement CSC has demonstrated its commitment to black economic empowerment and supporting South African businesses."
