ISS CANADA SUPPORTS ACQUISITION OF GEAC

BY GOLDEN GATE CAPITAL

MARKHAM, ONTARIO and WALTHAM, MA, January 9, 2006 – Geac Computer Corporation Limited (TSX: GAC and NASDAQ: GEAC) today announced that Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) Canada, Canada’s leading independent proxy advisory firm, published a comprehensive report in support of the proposed acquisition of Geac by Golden Gate Capital.

ISS is widely recognized as the leading independent proxy voting and corporate governance advisory firm in both Canada and the United States.  Its analyses and recommendations are relied upon by hundreds of major institutional investment firms, mutual funds and fiduciaries throughout North America.

Charles S. Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer of Geac, said, “We are very pleased that based on a thorough review, the broadly recognized and respected authority, ISS Canada, recommends its clients vote in favor of the transaction.  Their acknowledgment of both our exhaustive strategic alternatives review and the integrity of the sale process underscores their support.  With a healthy premium of 26.6 percent to the pre-announcement price of the stock (21.8 percent on 30-day volume weighted average price), we believe that this acquisition represents the best outcome for our shareholders, our customers and our employees.”

Geac’s Board of Directors has unanimously determined that the Arrangement is fair to and in the best interest of Geac shareholders.  Accordingly, the Board has approved the transaction and recommends that Geac Shareholders vote in favor of the acquisition at a Special Meeting of Shareholders, which will be held on Thursday, January 19, 2006, at 10:00 a.m. (EST) at the Design Exchange, Trading Floor, 234 Bay Street, Toronto-Dominion Centre, Toronto, Ontario.

Shareholders can vote by phone, internet or mail, and instructions can be found in the Management Information Circular dated December 9, 2005 sent to shareholders and available on the Geac website at www.geac.com.  If shareholders have questions about voting, they can contact Geac’s proxy solicitor, Georgeson Shareholder Communications, toll-free at (866) 765-7561.  Proxies must be received no later than 10:00 a.m. (EST) on January 17, 2006.
