RETURN OF VALUE

RESULTS OF PURCHASE OFFER AND DECLARATION OF SINGLE B SHARE DIVIDEND

In accordance with the circular to Shareholders dated 24 May 2013 (the "Circular"), Shareholders could elect to sell B Shares at 48.7 pence each, free of all dealing expenses and commissions, pursuant to the Purchase Offer which was made on 21 June 2013 by Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited.  Valid elections to accept the Purchase Offer were received in respect of 64,500,230 B Shares, representing approximately 41.9 per cent. of the B Shares in issue.

The Board of Directors of the Company is also pleased to announce that it has today declared the Single B Share Dividend of 48.7 pence per B Share payable to those holders of B Shares who were on the B Share register of members at 7.30a.m. today. Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited will receive the Single B Share Dividend of 48.7 pence in respect of each B Share it has purchased under the Purchase Offer.

In accordance with the Articles of Association of the Company, following the declaration of the Single B Share Dividend, all B Shares have been converted into Deferred Shares.  The Deferred Shares will not be listed, will carry extremely limited rights and will have negligible value.

Cheques and sale advices are expected to be despatched and assured payments made through CREST on 5 July 2013 in respect of B Shares purchased under the Purchase Offer and in respect of the Single B Share Dividend.

In conformity with Disclosure and Transparency Rule 5.6.1A(R) Computacenter plc also notifies the market of the following:

Following the Capital Reorganisation described in the Circular and approved at the General Meeting held at 11a.m. on 11 June 2013, the Company's share capital now consists of 138,538,647 ordinary shares with a nominal value of 6 2/3p each, with voting rights. The Company does not hold any shares in Treasury.  In addition, there are 153,931,830 Deferred Shares of nominal value 0.01 pence in issue, which carry no voting rights.  The Company may repurchase these in due course for an aggregate sum of 1p.

Therefore, the total number of ordinary shares with voting rights is 138,538,647.
