Logica realigns Executive Committee responsibilities

Logica is today announcing the realignment of its Executive Committee
responsibilities from 1 January 2010.  These changes, outlined below, will
ensure our clients benefit from the combination of strong local client facing
operations, supported by low cost shared services and two global service lines,
delivering consistent capabilities however clients need them.

The creation of the Outsourcing Services service line has led a strengthening
of our relationships with key clients and has driven a good performance in a
difficult economic climate in 2009.  We are today announcing the formation of a
second global service line in Business Consulting to be established by Patrick
Guimbal, with a focus as a catalyst for improvements in clients' business
performance.

A key element of Logica's Programme for Growth has been to invest more in sales
and marketing to focus the group on its clients.  Crister Stjernfelt, CEO
Nordics and Group Chief Marketing Officer has led this transformation.  With
Crister's anticipated retirement from the Logica Board and Executive Committee
during the first half of 2010, we are creating a new role of Chief Client
Officer.  Amanda Mesler, who currently leads our North American business, will
join the Executive Committee in this role.

In order to ensure a smooth handover, Crister Stjernfelt will also transition
his role as CEO, Nordics over the last quarter of 2009.  Stefan Gardefjord, CEO
Sweden, will join the Executive Committee.  Responsibility for the other Nordic
geographies will move to Joao Baptista, CEO Northern and Central Europe.

Commenting on the announcement, Andy Green, CEO said:

"2009 has been an important year in creating an integrated global group and in
creating a truly client focused Logica.  We have put together a talented
leadership team with tremendous experience in business and technology
services.  These changes will accelerate our transformation and enable us to
deliver more value to our clients in 2010 and beyond.  "


With effect from 1 January 2010, the Executive Team composition will be as
