FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Stratus Technologies Announces a Workforce Reduction

LUXEMBOURG, January 19, 2004 – Stratus Technologies International, S.à r.l. announced today that it will reduce its current worldwide workforce of 903 people by approximately 20 percent. The company’s management estimates the downsizing will result in savings of approximately $15 million in fiscal year 2006, beginning February 28, 2005. This reduction will also make financial resources available for strategic business investment, and will better align operational costs and expenses with business growth.

The workforce reduction begins today and will be carried out over a period of approximately two months. The action will result in a charge against earnings of approximately $11 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, ending February 27, 2005.

“While difficult to make, we believe this decision is necessary for us to successfully execute our business plans, strengthen our ability to compete in our chosen markets, and attain our financial and strategic goals,” said David Laurello, president and CEO of Stratus Technologies. “Reducing costs, while ensuring our ability to invest in key strategic initiatives, is consistent with prudent management. Further, our commitment to serving customers with superior products and services remains undiminished. We believe the restructuring will improve our financial standing and solidly position the company for increased growth and profitability in the future.”
