AUCS Contract Almost Complete; Infonet to Collect Incentive Fee and Approximately 200 Clients.

Business Editors

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 6, 2002

Jose A. Collazo, Chairman, President and CEO of Infonet Services Corporation (NYSE:IN) (FSE:IN), reiterated today on a conference call that the Company's contract to manage the business of the European ex-consortium, AUCS, is expected to terminate on October 1, 2002.

"By the end of the contract," said Mr. Collazo, "our relationship with AUCS is expected to have provided Infonet more than $450 million in revenue. But as we wind this large contract down, falling revenue has created a drag on our top line, masking Infonet's core growth.

"Although our work is ongoing and the final figures are subject to audit, I expect Infonet to collect a substantial incentive fee from the contract," said Mr. Collazo, "which will positively impact EBITDA. In addition, we expect to transition approximately 200 former AUCS clients to the Infonet network."

Mr. Collazo also said that Infonet might incur capital expenditures of no more than $5 million in connection with the transition of those clients. "This has already been factored into our cap ex budget for the year," he said.
