            INTERGRAPH ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF TENDER OFFER

HUNTSVILLE, ALA., DECEMBER 3, 2003 - Intergraph Corporation 
announced today the preliminary results of its modified Dutch auction tender
offer to purchase the company's common stock, which expired on December 2, 2003.

         Based on a preliminary count by the depositary for the tender offer,
23,837,387 shares of common stock were properly tendered and not withdrawn at a
price of $26.00 per share. Intergraph expects to purchase 10,000,000 shares,
resulting in a proration factor of approximately 41.9% of the shares tendered at
the $26.00 purchase price.

         All "odd lot" shares properly tendered at the $26.00 purchase price
will be purchased before any proration is done. Of the 23,837,387 shares
tendered, approximately 10,718,171 shares were tendered through notice of
guaranteed delivery. Because the number of shares tendered at the $26.00
purchase price exceeded the number of shares Intergraph expects to purchase, the
number of shares accepted for payment by Intergraph (after Intergraph's purchase
of all of the "odd lot" shares) will be prorated based on the total number of
shares properly tendered by each shareholder in accordance with the terms of the
tender offer at the $26.00 purchase price. The proration factor, the number of
shares to be purchased and the price per share are preliminary, are based on a
substantial portion of the shares tendered through notice of guaranteed delivery
being validly tendered and are subject to verification by the depositary. The
final proration factor will be announced promptly following completion of the
verification process.

         Any questions with regard to the tender offer may be directed to
Georgeson Shareholder Communications, Inc., the information agent, at
888-549-6633. The dealer manager for the tender offer was Goldman, Sachs & Co.
