UNISYS CORPORATION Dated: December 9, 1997 By: /s/ Lawrence A. Weinbach ---------------------- Lawrence A. Weinbach Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Exhibit (a)8 News Release Unisys Corporation PO Box 500 Blue Bell PA 19424 0001 Contact: Jim Kerr, Unisys, 215-986-5795 Internet:jimkerr@unn.unisys.com UNISYS ACCEPTS $271 MILLION of 8 1/4%, YEAR 2006 NOTES FOR CONVERSION UNDER SPECIAL OFFER Conversion brings total debt reduction to $616 million since October BLUE BELL, PA, DECEMBER 9, 1997 -- Unisys Corporation today announced that it had accepted $271.2 million of its 8 1/4%, year 2006 convertible notes tendered for conversion into common stock under its previously announced special offer, which expired yesterday. The conversion follows an earlier conversion of $345 million of 8 1/4%, year 2000 notes into common stock in October. "We are extremely pleased with the response to this offer," said Unisys Chairman, President, and CEO Lawrence A. Weinbach. "With these two conversions, we have reduced our long-term debt by $616 million and slashed our annual cash payment requirements for interest expense by more than $50 million. With these actions, we are well on our way toward achieving our goal of reducing our debt by at least $1 billion by the year 2000." Under the offer, holders whose notes were accepted for conversion will receive approximately 145 shares of Unisys common stock and a cash premium of $155 plus accrued interest for each note. Based on the $271.2 million of notes accepted for conversion, the company said it will take a one-time charge against net income in the fourth quarter of approximately $42.5 million to cover the cost of the special offer and will issue an additional 39.4 million shares of common stock, bringing the total number of common shares outstanding to approximately 249 million. The company said the issuance of these additional shares will not impact diluted earnings per share in 1998 since the additional shares would have already been included in this calculation. ### RELEASE NO.: 1297/6384 Unisys is a registered trademark of Unisys Corporation. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
