CAUTIONARY NOTICE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contain forward looking statements, including statements
relating to results of operations. These forward-looking statements are based on
current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections of future company or
industry performance based on management's judgment, beliefs, current trends and
market conditions. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what
is expressed, forecasted or implied in any forward-looking statement.
Forward-looking statements made by the company may be identified by the use of
words such as "will," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "believes,"
"seeks," "estimates," and similar expressions. There are a number of risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements included in this document. For example, (1) Reynolds
may be unable to obtain shareholder approval required for the transaction; (2)
Reynolds may be unable to obtain regulatory approvals required for the
transaction, or required regulatory approvals may delay the transaction or
result in the imposition of conditions that could have a material adverse effect
on Reynolds or cause the parties to abandon the transaction; (3) conditions to
the closing of the transaction may not be satisfied; (4) Reynolds may be unable
to achieve cost reduction and revenue growth plans; (5) the transaction may
involve unexpected costs or unexpected liabilities; (6) the credit ratings of

the businesses of Reynolds may suffer as a result of uncertainty surrounding the

of significant contracts or arrangements, the mix and timing of services sold in
a  particular  period;  and (9)  Reynolds  may be  adversely  affected  by other
economic,  business,  and/or competitive  factors.  These and other factors that
could cause actual results to differ  materially from those expressed or implied
are discussed  under "Risk  Factors" in the Business  section of our most recent
annual  report on Form 10-K and other filings with the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission.  The company undertakes no obligation to update any  forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.





The following is the text of an e-mail sent to all associates of The Reynolds
and Reynolds Company:

September 19, 2006

E-mail:  To all associates
From: Fin O'Neill
Subject:  Update on Reynolds and UCS Merger

We have had several announcements recently that I wanted to recap and to use to
provide a further update on the merger.

We announced yesterday that the government has granted early termination of the
waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Act concerning our proposed
merger with UCS. This concludes all of the regulatory requirements under the
merger agreement. A quick reminder, however, that Reynolds and UCS continue to
remain competitors until closing and Reynolds associates should act accordingly,
maintaining the standards of behavior that are required by our Business
Principles.

A week ago, we announced the date for the Special Meeting of shareholders to
vote on the proposed merger. It will be held Oct. 23 at 11 a.m. EDT in our
Headquarters building. We expect to mail the definitive proxy statement to
shareholders on or about September 22, 2006.

Also note that the Special Meeting does not represent the closing date of the
transaction. If the merger proposal is approved by the required vote of the
shareholders, and all other customary closing conditions are met, the actual
close would occur within three business days of the Special Meeting. Between now
and the Special Meeting, the Human Resources Department will communicate with
associates about the steps to follow regarding stock options or restricted
shares you may hold.

The Reynolds Merger Integration team is making progress working with a number of
key groups throughout the company as they begin to define and to work through
the practical organizational and business steps required to combine the two
organizations. I'm sure others of us will be involved in that activity as well,
as the pace picks up for the Integration Team. If you're asked for information
or involvement, please respond as fully as possible.

For now, as I have said to the leadership team, we have a business to run, we
have customers to serve, business plans to execute, and momentum to generate as
we close the fiscal year and prepare for the new business year. For all of us,
staying focused on the business at hand is our most important job. As I
reiterated in my last e-mail on this subject, the combined companies - the new
Reynolds and Reynolds - will continue to deliver on the Reynolds brand promise
and demonstrate our singular focus on customer needs. As we do that now, we will
be able to offer a broader range of solutions and services to help our dealer
customers succeed more completely than ever before.
