 MISYS PLC ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF TENDER OFFER FOR SUNQUEST INFORMATION
SYSTEMS INC.

Misys plc today confirmed that its offer for Sunquest Information Systems Inc., 
a leading provider of clinical systems to hospitals and other acute care        
facilities in the United States, has been declared unconditional, with shares   
tendered totalling over 97% of Sunquest's fully-diluted share capital.          

The tender offer, made on 29 June for all of Sunquest's shares at $24 per share 
and valuing Sunquest at approximately $404 million, expired at 12:00 midnight,  
EST, on 27 July, 2001. Misys will acquire the outstanding shares over the next  
few days through a "cash-out" merger under US law.                              

Sunquest will form part of the Misys Healthcare Division, alongside Medic       
Computer Systems. Its acquisition consolidates Misys' position as a leader in US
healthcare IT and establishes a footprint for Misys in the acute care sector.   
The Healthcare Division will comprise around 2,400 employees, serving 85,000    
physicians, 700 homecare agencies and 1,200 hospitals, with revenues topping    
$400 million, placing Misys among the top 10 healthcare IT companies in the US. 

Kevin Lomax, Misys Chairman, said:                                              

"The acquisition of Sunquest is a major step forward for Misys as we develop    
advanced IT services for the US healthcare industry. Combining Sunquest with    
Medic, we can now offer customers a broad complementary range of products and   
services, with particular strength in clinical solutions."                      

Mr. Lomax added:                                                                

"The acquisition of Sunquest reinforces the strategic value we place on deriving
our revenue from selected markets with wide geographic spread and different     
economic exposures, while still enjoying the benefits of a common business      
model, management style and shared technology base."
