Federal District Court Clears Aquent For Distribution Of Definitive Proxy Materials

Boston, MA (May 2, 2003) – Aquent LLC, a privately held global professional services firm, today issued the following statement regarding press releases issued earlier today by Computer Horizons (NASDAQ: CHRZ):

John Chuang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Aquent LLC said, “We find it is unfortunate that Computer Horizons has rejected our $5.00 per share cash merger proposal, which represents 100 times management’s 2003 earnings forecast. Our proposal provides a premium of 69% based on Computer Horizons’ average closing share price of $2.96 over the 30 trading days prior to Aquent’s April 14 announcement.”

Mr. Chuang continued, “Therefore, shareholders now have a clear choice to make in connection with the upcoming Annual Meeting: Elect two new independent directors who will be open to considering premium proposals and maximizing shareholder value OR trust the current Board and management team, who ask shareholders to have faith in them despite their record of poor performance and sustained losses.”

Mr. Chuang concluded, “We believe that the Computer Horizons Board has demonstrated that they will only act to protect shareholder interests when pressured to do so. We are pleased that the Board has responded to shareholder pressure and public criticism by severing its ties with former CEO John Cassese, retaining a financial advisor, and reducing somewhat the threshold required to call a special meeting of shareholders. Even under pressure, however, the Board has still failed to put this Company up for sale, or offer any other credible plan to deliver greater value to shareholders.”

Aquent recommends all shareholders view its investor presentation that is available on the Internet at www.aquent.com/press/chrz_050203.pdf.

Aquent also confirmed that it has fully complied with an order issued by the Federal District Court, District of New Jersey regarding its proxy materials, which it commenced mailing to Computer Horizons shareholders today. Judge John C. Lifland issued an order requiring Aquent to revise some portions of its proxy statement. He subsequently rejected attempts by Computer Horizons to prevent Aquent from circulating its revised proxy materials to Computer Horizons shareholders.

Computer Horizons’ shareholders should expect to receive in the mail Aquent’s proxy materials, including a supplement responding to the Court’s order. Shareholders who have not yet submitted their proxy cards or wish to change their vote are encouraged to vote FOR Aquent’s nominees and FOR its proposed by-law amendment, by signing, dating and returning the GOLD proxy card as soon as possible. Aquent noted that before receiving its proxy materials, Computer Horizons shareholders will likely receive proxy solicitation materials and a white proxy card from Computer Horizons’ Board and management seeking their vote to elect management’s slate of nominees as directors and support for other matters. Aquent strongly urges all Computer Horizons shareholders NOT to sign or return any WHITE proxy card sent by management until carefully considering ALL of the necessary facts.
