Constellation Software Commences Tender Offer for All Outstanding Shares of Computer Software Innovations

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Oct. 10, 2012) - Constellation Software Inc. ("Constellation") (TSX:CSU) is commencing today, through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary NHCC Merger Corp., a cash tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock of Computer Software Innovations, Inc. ("CSWI") (OTCBB:CSWI). Constellation and CSWI announced the execution of a definitive merger agreement on Tuesday, October 2, 2012. Upon the successful closing of the tender offer, stockholders of CSWI will receive $1.10 in cash for each share of CSWI common stock and preferred stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the offer, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.

N. Harris Computer Corporation ("Harris"), the direct parent of NHCC Merger Corp. and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Constellation, will file today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") a tender offer statement on Schedule TO which sets forth in detail the terms of the tender offer. Additionally, CSWI will file with the SEC a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 that includes the unanimous recommendation of CSWI's board of directors that CSWI stockholders accept the tender offer and tender their shares.

The tender offer is scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight New York City time at the end of Tuesday, November 6, 2012, unless the tender offer is extended in accordance with the merger agreement and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.

The consummation of the tender offer is conditioned on the tender of a majority of the outstanding shares of CSWI's common stock and other customary conditions that are specified in the offer documents. Following completion of the tender offer and, if required, receipt of stockholder approval, Harris expects to consummate a second-step merger in which remaining CSWI stockholders will receive the same cash price per share as paid in the tender offer. Following the merger, CSWI will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harris.
