On November 20, 2009, Agilysys, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it will
hold a special meeting of shareholders on January 5, 2010 for the purpose of considering and voting
on whether to authorize MAK Capital, the Company’s largest shareholder, to increase its ownership
above 20% but not to exceed one-third, of the Company’s outstanding common shares. The Acquiring
Person Statement indicates that MAK Capital does not intend, either alone or in concert with any
other person, to exercise control of the Company. The Company’s Board of Directors has determined
that it will make no recommendation either in favor of or against the proposed control share
acquisition.
The special meeting of shareholders will be held at 8:30 a.m. EST on January 5, 2010 at 28925
Fountain Parkway, Solon, OH 44139. A record date of November 24, 2009 has been set and will be
included in the preliminary proxy statement, which is expected to be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as soon as practicable.
As announced earlier today, the Company received, under Section 1701.831 of the Ohio Revised Code,
Ohio’s “control share acquisition statute,” an Acquiring Person Statement from MAK Capital Fund, LP
and Paloma International L.P., notifying the Company of their intent to increase their direct or
indirect ownership of Agilysys’ common shares above 20%, but not to exceed one-third.
A copy of the press release announcing the special meeting is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and
incorporated by reference herein.
