                On April 13, 2004, Comdisco Holding Company, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release, a copy of which is hereby incorporated by reference and attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, announcing the discounted prepayment by Comprendium Investments S.A. of the remaining payments due from the sale of the Company's German leasing subsidiary. The Company received 30.5 million euros in lieu of four payments of 9.5 million euros each, scheduled for payment in April 2004, April 2005, May 2006 and December 2006. The scheduled payments would have been subject to reduction if certain customers exercised contractual termination provisions. The prepaid amount has been converted into $36.7 million and repatriated to the U.S. The Company expects to take a charge of approximately $2 million in its second fiscal quarter to reflect the difference between the prepaid amount and the carrying value of the four scheduled payments.
