CGI Group Inc. (TSX: GIB.A; NYSE: GIB) ("CGI") today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, CGI Virginia Corporation ("CGI Virginia") was merged with and into American Management Systems, Incorporated (Nasdaq: AMSY) ("AMS"), resulting in AMS becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of CGI. The merger was completed, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 10, 2004, by and among CGI, CGI Virginia and AMS.

Following the merger, AMS will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of CGI and concurrently the U.S. assets of the Defense and Intelligence Group of AMS will have been purchased by CACI International Inc. (NYSE: CAI).

CGI also announced that, as a result of the merger, all AMS shares that were not validly tendered in the tender offer (except those shares for which appraisal rights under the Delaware General Corporation Law are properly exercised) were converted into the right to receive $19.40 net per share in cash and without interest. Holders of these remaining outstanding AMS shares will receive such payment for their shares upon presentation of appropriate documentation by the holder to Computershare Trust Company of New York, the paying agent for the merger ("Computershare").
