Board Authorizes Repurchase of Additional 2,500,000 Shares

BOCA RATON, Fla. — December 17, 2007 — Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative IT solutions, announced today it has completed the repurchase of 2,000,000 shares on the open market at a total purchase price of approximately $30.4 million. On September 14, 2007, the company announced that it had entered into a Rule 10b5-1 Plan to facilitate the repurchase of the shares.

The company’s Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to 2,000,000 shares during the one-year period following the September 19, 2007 expiration of its “Dutch Auction” self-tender offer. Including the shares repurchased in the self-tender offer, the company has repurchased approximately 22.5 percent of its previously outstanding shares in the past three months. Currently, approximately 24.8 million shares are outstanding.

The company further announced today that the Board has authorized the open-market repurchase by the company of up to an additional 2,500,000 shares. The company has entered into a Rule 10b5-1 Plan to facilitate the repurchase of the additional shares. The company anticipates that the Rule 10b5-1 Plan will be in place through the completion of the repurchase of all of the shares covered under the plan or October 31, 2008, whichever comes earlier.

“This additional open-market authorization is further confirmation of management’s and the Board’s confidence in our strategic plan to build a leading provider of innovative IT solutions,” said Arthur Rhein, Chairman, President and CEO.
