Munich, 17 June 2008

The acquisition company Platin 274.GmbH (to be renamed in CSS Computer Security Solutions Erwerbs GmbH), in which currently one, and in the future several, funds managed by Barclays Private Equity Limited ("Barclays Private Equity") hold an indirect participation, today announced pursuant to § 10 Takeover Act (Wertpapiererwerbs- und Übernahmegesetz - WpÜG) to submit a voluntary public tender offer of EUR 15.50 per bearer share to the shareholders of COMPUTERLINKS AG. The offer price thus equates to a premium of 38.9 percent on the Xetra closing price of the COMPUTERLINKS share on Monday 16 June 2008, and of 31.6 percent on the volume-weighted average Xetra price of the COMPUTERLINKS share over the past three months.

The takeover offer will be subject to the condition of a minimum acceptance rate of 75 percent and the approval of the relevant regulatory authorities. Barclays Private Equity has stated that as the new majority shareholder it wants to support the company in its long-term development, and to contribute towards COMPUTERLINKS AG expanding its position as market leader in Europe through organic growth and strategic acquisitions. In the context of the company's further development and its plans for international expansion, the management board of COMPUTERLINKS AG, in principle, welcomes the commitment of a financial investor experienced in the field of medium-sized German companies. The management board has therefore decided, in the interests of the company, its shareholders and its employees, and after having consulted the supervisory board, to thoroughly examine the offer announced by Barclays Private Equity.
