Exhibit 99.1

 

GEAC COMPUTER CORPORATION LIMITED
AMENDMENT TO MANAGEMENT PROXY CIRCULAR
DATED AUGUST 4, 2005

 

Reference is made to the Management Proxy Circular (the “Circular”) dated August 4, 2005 and furnished to shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the management of Geac Computer Corporation Limited (the “Corporation”) for use at the annual meeting (the “Meeting”) of the holders of the common shares (the “Common Shares”) of the Corporation to be held at The Design Exchange, Trading Floor, 234 Bay Street, Toronto-Dominion Centre, Toronto, Ontario, on Tuesday, September 13, 2005, at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) or any adjournment thereof for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Corporation accompanying the Circular.

 

Reference is made to the heading “Performance Graph” appearing at page 14 of the Circular.  Under that heading are a graph and table that are stated to compare the total cumulative return for $100 invested in the Common Shares with the cumulative total return for $100 invested in the S&P/TSX Composite Index (formerly known as the TSE 300) for the five-year period starting April 30, 2000 and ending April 30, 2005.  Dividends declared are assumed to be reinvested.

 

It has come to our attention that, due to an administrative error, the performance data relating to the S&P/TSX Composite Index and Common Share data were incorrect.  The correct information and resulting graph are set out below.  This information replaces the original graph and table in the Circular.
