Boston, MA (April 29, 2003) - Aquent LLC, a privately held global professional services firm, today issued the following statement regarding recent press releases from Computer Horizons Corp. (NASDAQ: CHRZ):

John Chuang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Aquent LLC, said, “Computer Horizons’ claims regarding Aquent’s merger proposal are perplexing, given Aquent’s repeated attempts to present its premium $5.00 per share cash merger proposal to the Computer Horizons Board. Despite what Computer Horizons has been telling its shareholders – ‘the Board, in fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities, is currently reviewing the Aquent proposal and has retained a leading investment banking firm, J.P. Morgan Securities, to assist the Board in evaluating this matter’¹– neither the Company nor its advisor has so far contacted us.”

Mr. Chuang added, “Today’s announcement by Computer Horizons regarding the separation agreement for its recently departed CEO, John Cassese, should have provided the Computer Horizons Board with an opportunity to avoid a costly proxy contest, enhance shareholder value and fulfill its fiduciary obligations. We are concerned that the lawsuit filed today by Computer Horizons indicates that they are not serious about negotiating a transaction that is in the best interests of all shareholders. These delaying tactics further underscore the importance that shareholders should refrain from voting the Company’s WHITE proxy card and wait to review Aquent’s proxy materials regarding the election of two new, independent directors to the Computer Horizons Board and the enhancement of shareholders’ ability to call special meetings to hold this Board accountable.”

Mr. Chuang continued, “Aquent is committed to pursuing a negotiated merger transaction with the Computer Horizons Board. Let me say one more time – we are not presently, and have never purported to be, commencing a tender offer. Our premium asset-backed cash merger transaction would return all of the Company’s cash, approximately $79 million based on the most recent public announcement, back to Computer Horizons’ shareholders – the true owners of the Company, as well as provide shareholders with additional cash of approximately $72 million, for a total value of approximately $151 million. Aquent’s proposal represents a premium of 67% based upon Computer Horizons’ closing price of $3.00 per share on Friday, April 11, 2003, the day prior to the announcement of Aquent’s proposal, and it represents 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. Aquent’s $5.00 per share proposal is also higher than any trading price for Computer Horizons’ common stock over the last two years.”:

Mr. Chuang concluded, “Despite the costs associated with Mr. Cassese’s $3.5 million separation package and other terms that have yet to be disclosed to the public, Aquent still wants to provide Computer Horizons’ shareholders with $5.00 per share in cash if only the Board and its advisors would sit down to negotiate our premium merger proposal with us.”

Aquent strongly believes that it is important for Computer Horizons to fully disclose the details of Mr. Cassese’s separation agreement and encourages Computer Horizons to file all separation materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as possible.

Aquent also stated that although it has not fully reviewed Computer Horizons’ lawsuit filed today, it believes that the claims are entirely without merit and Aquent will vigorously defend against them.
