TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On November 27, 2007, a putative class action lawsuit styled
Discovery Partners v. Ronald V.
Aprahamian, et al
. was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County
of Los Angeles regarding the proposed merger between First Consulting Group, Inc. (FCG) and
Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC). The lawsuit was purportedly filed on behalf of the public
holders of FCGs common stock, and names as defendants FCG, each of FCGs directors, CSC and LB
Acquisition Corp., the wholly-owned subsidiary of CSC acting as merger sub for the proposed
transaction. The complaint alleges, among other things, that FCGs directors breached their
fiduciary duties by adopting the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 30, 2007, between FCG,
CSC and LB Acquisition Corp., and by approving the merger described therein, and claims that the
proposed merger provides FCGs public stockholders with inadequate consideration for their shares
of FCG common stock. The complaint alleges that CSC and LB Acquisition Corp. aided and abetted
the alleged breaches by FCGs directors. The complaint further alleges that the proxy statement
filed November 21, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the proposed
merger was materially misleading and/or incomplete. The plaintiff seeks, among other things, class
action status, an injunction preventing the completion of the merger (or rescinding the merger if
it is completed), an order requiring additional proxy disclosures, compensatory and/or rescissory
damages and the payment of attorneys fees and expenses. We believe the lawsuit is without merit
and intend to defend the action vigorously.
