    This release contains forward-looking statements, which address a
    variety of subjects including, for example, the expected benefits of
    the business relationship between ModusLink and Toshiba. The following
    important factors and uncertainties, among others, could cause actual
    results to differ materially from those described in these
    forward-looking statements: ModusLink is not designated as this
    client´s sole supplier of the services referenced in this press
    release; ModusLink frequently sells to its supply chain management
    clients, including the client referenced in this press release, on a
    purchase order basis and therefore its sales are subject to demand
    variability; ModusLink´s success depends on its ability to execute on
    its business strategy and the continued and increased demand for and
    market acceptance of its solutions and services; ModusLink may not be
    able to expand its operations in accordance with its business
    strategy; ModusLink may experience difficulties integrating
    technologies, operations and personnel in accordance with its business
    strategy; ModusLink derives a significant portion of its revenue from
    a small number of customers and the loss of any of those customers
    would significantly damage its financial condition and results of
    operations; increased competition and technological changes in the
    markets in which ModusLink competes; and risks associated with
    international operations. ModusLink represents a significant
    percentage of CMGI´s operations and the occurrence of any of the
    foregoing factors may have an adverse effect on CMGI´s results of
    operations and financial results. For a detailed discussion of
    cautionary statements that may affect CMGI´s future results of
    operations and financial results, please refer to CMGI´s filings with
    the Securities and Exchange Commission, including CMGI´s most recent
