UNISYS CORPORATION
PROXY STATEMENT
FOR THE
1994 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies by the Board of Directors of Unisys Corporation ("Unisys") for the 1994
Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on April 28, 1994 and at any
adjournment(s) thereof (the "Annual Meeting"). Action will be taken at the
Annual Meeting with respect to the election of directors and the ratification of
the selection of independent auditors.
As of February 28, 1994, the record date for the Annual Meeting, there were
170,533,382 shares of Unisys Common Stock outstanding and entitled to be voted
at the meeting. Each such share is entitled to one vote on each matter to be
voted upon. A majority of such shares, present in person or represented by
proxy, will constitute a quorum at the meeting. Directors will be elected by a
plurality of the votes cast. Approval of the other matter scheduled to come
before the Annual Meeting will require the affirmative vote of the majority of
shares present, in person or represented by proxy, at the meeting and entitled
to vote thereon. For purposes of determining whether a matter has received a
majority vote, abstentions will be included in the vote totals, with the result
that an abstention has the same effect as a negative vote. If brokers are
prohibited from exercising discretionary authority for beneficial owners who
have not returned a proxy (so-called "broker non-votes"), those shares will not
be included in the vote totals and therefore will have no effect on the vote.
If the enclosed proxy/voting instruction card is properly executed,
returned and not revoked, the shares represented thereby will be voted in
accordance with the directions set forth thereon. If a properly executed proxy
gives no directions, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted FOR the
election of directors (Item 1), FOR the selection of independent auditors (Item
2) and in the discretion of the proxy holders on any other matters that properly
come before the Annual Meeting. Any person executing a proxy may revoke it at
any time prior to its exercise by giving notice in writing to the Corporate
Secretary of Unisys or by voting in person at the meeting.
The enclosed proxy/voting instruction card also serves as a voting
instruction to the trustee of the Unisys Savings Plan and the Unisys Retirement
Investment Plan (collectively, the "Savings Plans"), for any whole shares of
Unisys Common Stock credited to the account of each participant in the Savings
Plans as of December 31, 1993. The trustee will vote shares credited to each
participant who returns the proxy/voting instruction card in a timely manner,
signed and with a clear designation as to how the trustee should vote. If a
participant's signed proxy/voting instruction card is not received by April 22,
1994, or if no instruction is given with respect to the matters to be voted
upon, the shares credited to that participant will be voted by the trustee in
the same proportion as are those shares for which proper instructions were
received from other participants.
This Proxy Statement, the accompanying form of proxy and the annual report
of Unisys, including financial statements for the year 1993, are first being
mailed on or about March 17, 1994.
The principal executive offices of Unisys are located at Township Line and
Union Meeting Roads, Blue Bell, Pennsylvania 19424.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
(ITEM 1)
The Board of Directors is currently comprised of 11 members, divided into
three classes. One class of directors is elected each year to hold office for a
three-year term and until their successors are chosen and have qualified. Four
directors whose terms expire in 1994, Gail D. Fosler, Melvin R. Goodes, Edwin A.
Huston and Robert McClements, Jr., have been nominated for election as directors
at the Annual Meeting. William G. Milliken will retire as a director on April
28, 1994 and therefore is not a nominee for reelection. The remaining six
directors will continue to serve as set forth below. Each of the nominees has
agreed to serve as a director if elected, and Unisys believes that each nominee
will be available to serve. However, the proxy holders have discretionary
authority to cast votes for the election of a substitute should any nominee not
be available to serve as a director.

BOARD MEETINGS
The Board of Directors held nine meetings in 1993. During 1993, all
directors attended at least 75 percent of the aggregate number of meetings of
the Board of Directors and standing committees on which they served.
COMMITTEES
The Board of Directors has standing Audit, Compensation and Organization,
and Nominating Committees as well as certain other committees.
The Audit Committee held four meetings in 1993. Its principal functions are
to review compliance with Unisys policies, review the internal control
procedures of Unisys, recommend to the Board of Directors the firm of
independent auditors to serve Unisys each fiscal year, review the scope, fees
and results of the audit by the independent auditors and review the internal
audit organization and annual audit plan. The members of the Audit Committee are
Ms. Fosler and Messrs. Duderstadt, Huston, McClements and Milliken.
The Compensation and Organization Committee held seven meetings in 1993.
Its principal functions are to review and approve remuneration of the elected
officers of Unisys, evaluate performance, review and approve senior executive
compensation programs, administer remuneration plans, including the long-term
incentive and variable compensation plans of Unisys, and review management
succession and related matters. The members of the Compensation and Organization
Committee are Messrs. Goodes, Macke, Schwartz and Seibert.
The Nominating Committee held two meetings in 1993. All directors other
than Mr. Unruh are members of the Nominating Committee. The principal functions
of the Nominating Committee are to identify and review candidates and recommend
to the Board of Directors nominees for membership on the Board of Directors. In
fulfilling this responsibility, the Nominating Committee will consider
recommendations received from stockholders and other qualified sources.
Stockholder recommendations must be in writing and addressed to the Chairman of
the Nominating Committee, c/o Corporate Secretary, Unisys Corporation, Township
Line and Union Meeting Roads, Blue Bell, Pennsylvania 19424. If a stockholder
intends to make a nomination at an Annual Meeting, the Bylaws of Unisys require
that the stockholder deliver a notice to Unisys not less than 90 days prior to
such Annual Meeting setting forth (i) the name, age, business and residence
addresses of each nominee, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of each
nominee, (iii) the number of shares of capital stock of Unisys beneficially
owned by each nominee, (iv) a statement that the nominee is willing to be
nominated and (v) such other information concerning each nominee as would be
required, under the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission,

establish other committees from time to time.

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
(ITEM 2)
The Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of its Audit Committee, has
selected the firm of Ernst & Young as independent auditors to audit the books
and accounts of Unisys, including its worldwide subsidiaries, for the year
ending December 31, 1994, and recommends ratification of such selection by the
stockholders. Ernst & Young has served as independent auditors for Unisys since
the merger of Burroughs Corporation and Sperry Corporation in 1986, having
previously served in that capacity for Sperry Corporation. Its representatives
will be present at the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a
statement if they desire to do so and to respond to appropriate questions asked
by stockholders.
In the event the proposal to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young is
defeated, the adverse vote will be considered as a direction to the Board of
Directors to select other independent auditors for the next year. However,
because of the expense and difficulty in changing independent auditors after the
beginning of a year, the Board of Directors intends to allow the appointment for
1994 to stand unless the Board of Directors finds other reasons for making a
change.
In connection with the year ended December 31, 1993, Ernst & Young
furnished, or is furnishing, worldwide audit services and certain non-audit
services to Unisys. Significant items have been reviewed and approved by the
Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Fees incurred, or to be incurred, in
connection with the audit or with the financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1993, and other services aggregated approximately $5.2 million.
The Board of Directors considers Ernst & Young to be well qualified to
serve as the independent auditors for Unisys.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE PROPOSAL TO RATIFY THE
SELECTION OF ERNST & YOUNG AS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR 1994. PROXIES SOLICITED
BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL BE SO VOTED UNLESS STOCKHOLDERS OTHERWISE SPECIFY
IN THEIR PROXIES.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLANS -- AWARDS IN LAST FISCAL YEAR
In connection with Unisys announced strategy to grow its information
services business, Victor E. Millar, President of the Worldwide Information
Services Group of Unisys, received a contingent performance award in 1993 as

The actual amount payable to Mr. Millar may range from zero to 120% of the
target amount depending upon personal performance and the degree to which the
Worldwide Information Services Group achieves predetermined revenue and profit
objectives during the performance period. Any award earned will be payable in
1996 and will be based 30% on the assessment, by the Chairman of Unisys, of Mr.
Millar's personal performance and 70% on achievement of the revenue and profit
objectives. Because Mr. Millar is the elected officer having primary
responsibility for the Unisys information services business, he was the only
elected officer eligible to receive such a contingent performance award.

Final Average Compensation generally corresponds to the amounts shown in
the Summary Compensation Table under the headings Salary and Bonus. However,
Final Average Compensation is calculated using the individual's highest 60
consecutive months of compensation out of the final 120 months of employment and
thus will differ somewhat from the amounts shown in the Summary Compensation
Table. Final Average Compensation for the eligible Named Officers as of March 1,
1994 is as follows: J. A. Unruh -- $1,077,400; H. J. Lynch -- $497,200; V. E.
Millar -- $576,200; W. B. Patton -- $571,400; G. T. Robson -- $400,900. Full
years of credited service under the pension plans for the eligible Named
Officers as of March 1, 1994 are as follows: J. A. Unruh -- 13 years; H. J.
Lynch -- 3 years; V. E. Millar -- 1 year; W. B. Patton -- 2 years; G. T.
Robson -- 11 years.
The Pension Plan and Supplemental Plan generally are available to all
employees located in the United States. The Officer Plan is available to certain
officers, including the Named Officers, who are participants in the Pension Plan
and who satisfy certain minimum service requirements. The aggregate pension
amount payable under the Officer Plan is offset by benefits paid under the
Pension Plan and the Supplemental Plan. The amounts shown in the table are
computed on a single life annuity basis and are subject to a 50% deduction of
the participant's primary social security benefit.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
Effective July 1, 1991, Unisys entered into a three-year employment
agreement with James A. Unruh, covering the terms and conditions of Mr. Unruh's
employment as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The agreement
provides for a minimum base salary of $650,000, subject to periodic review by
the Compensation and Organization Committee, and eligibility for an annual bonus
in an amount to be determined by the Compensation and Organization Committee.
Mr. Unruh is eligible to participate in the benefit programs generally made
available to executive officers and is eligible to receive stock option and
other long-term incentive awards under the 1990 Plan. If Mr. Unruh's employment
is terminated under certain circumstances, Mr. Unruh will be entitled to receive
termination payments equal to 100% of his base salary and bonus (based on the
average of his last three annual bonus payments) for the remainder of the term
of the agreement (with a minimum of one year's salary plus bonus). He will also
be entitled to full vesting in his pension benefit under the Officer Plan,
continued medical coverage until age 55 and any postretirement medical and life
insurance coverage as is then generally available to officers thereafter, full
vesting in outstanding awards under the 1990 Plan and an extension of the
repayment period on his home mortgage loan. The agreement provides that under
certain circumstances that constitute a "change in control" (generally, the
acquisition by any person of the beneficial ownership of 20% or more of Unisys
voting securities or a change in the composition of a majority of the Board of
Directors), the term of the agreement will be automatically extended for a
period of three years from the date of the change in control. Further, under
certain circumstances that constitute a "potential change in control"
(generally, the acquisition by any person of the beneficial ownership of 9.9% or
more of Unisys voting securities or certain agreements or actions which, if
consummated, would result in a change in control), the Compensation and
Organization Committee, in its discretion, may elect to fund Mr. Unruh's pension
benefit through a grantor trust. If an actual change in control occurs, the
funding of the trust, if any, will become irrevocable. If an actual change in
control occurs and all or any portion of Mr. Unruh's pension benefit has not
been funded through the grantor trust, Unisys will pay to Mr. Unruh a single sum
cash payment in an amount equal to the present value of that portion of his
pension benefit that has not been so funded. Mr. Unruh is also party to a change
in control agreement with Unisys, as described on page 13. Under no
circumstances will Mr. Unruh receive duplicate payments under the change in
control agreement and his employment agreement. Salary and bonus paid to Mr.
Unruh pursuant to the agreement in respect of 1993 have been included in the
Summary Compensation Table on page 8.
Effective July 1, 1991, Unisys entered into a three-year employment
agreement with Reto Braun, formerly President and Chief Operating Officer of
Unisys. The agreement provided that if Mr. Braun's employment were terminated
under certain circumstances, Mr. Braun would be entitled to receive a
termination amount equal to one year's base salary (at the rate in effect on the
date of termination) and bonus (based on the average of his last three annual
bonus payments). He would also be entitled to full vesting in his pension
benefit under the Officer Plan, continued medical coverage until age 55 and any
post-retirement medical and life insurance coverage as is then generally
available to officers thereafter, full vesting in outstanding awards under the
1990 Plan and an extension of the repayment period on his home mortgage loan. In
addition, until Mr. Braun reached age 55, Unisys would continue to make
contributions to a Swiss benefit program maintained for him providing for
pension, life insurance and disability benefits. In August 1993, the position of
President and Chief Operating Officer was eliminated and Mr. Braun's employment
terminated. In September 1993, Unisys made a lump-sum termination payment to Mr.
Braun under the agreement, calculated as follows: $478,991 by reference to base
salary; $386,594 by reference to previous years' bonus amounts; $498,464 in
respect of the present value of the remaining three years of required Swiss
benefit contributions; and a tax reimbursement of $350,721 with respect to the
Swiss benefit amounts.

CHANGE IN CONTROL EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
Unisys has entered into change in control employment agreements with its
executive officers including the Named Officers. The agreements are intended to
retain the services of these executives and provide for continuity of management
in the event of any actual or threatened change in control (as defined on page
12). Each agreement has a term ending on the earlier to occur of the third
anniversary of the date of such change in control or the executive's normal
retirement date under Unisys retirement plans. Unisys may cancel the agreements
at any time prior to a potential change in control. These agreements, which are
the same for each executive, provide that in the event of a change in control
each executive will have specific rights and receive certain benefits. Those
benefits include the right to continue in the employ of Unisys during the term,
performing such duties as are comparable to those being performed immediately
prior to the change in control and at comparable compensation levels. The rights
and benefits will continue throughout the term if, after such change in control,
either the executive's employment is terminated without cause or the executive
terminates employment for certain enumerated reasons, including a significant
reduction in the executive's compensation, duties, title or reporting
responsibilities or a change in the executive's job location. The executive is
under no obligation to mitigate amounts payable under these agreements and, to
the extent the executive has a separate employment agreement with Unisys with
conflicting provisions, the executive is allowed the greater entitlement.
RETENTION AGREEMENTS
During 1993, all executive officers other than Mr. Unruh and Mr. Braun were
parties to retention agreements with Unisys. The agreements, which expired
December 31, 1993, provided for the payment of certain termination benefits if
the employee's employment terminated during the term of the agreement for
reasons other than retirement, death, disability, inadequate performance or
cause, or if the employee terminated employment during the term because of a
reduction in base pay or target incentive award (unless such reduction was due
to inadequate performance or a pay reduction generally applicable to similarly
situated employees). Upon such termination of employment, the employee would
have become entitled to continuation of base salary and payment of annual
incentive award in a minimum amount equal to 50% of the then applicable target
for a period of 36 months, immediate vesting of outstanding stock options,
restricted stock and contingent performance awards, if any, continued
participation in retirement, health and other welfare arrangements (or
comparable arrangements) through the salary continuation period and, if
applicable, extension of the normal repayment date for corporate home mortgage
loans. Termination benefits payable under the retention agreements were to be
offset by income assistance payments and any other severance or termination
payments made to the employee.
INDEBTEDNESS OF MANAGEMENT
Certain of the current and former executive officers of Unisys have
received no-interest loans from Unisys. The loans, which were made in connection
with the officer's purchase of a principal residence upon relocation, are
generally for a 20-year term (assuming continued employment with Unisys), are
evidenced by promissory notes and are secured by second mortgages. The maximum
amounts outstanding during the period between January 1, 1993 and March 11, 1994
for each of the following were: R. Braun, $248,000; G. R. Gazerwitz, $260,000;
J. F. McHale, $127,500; J. A. Unruh, $620,000. The principal amounts of Mr.
Braun's and Mr. Unruh's loans as of March 11, 1994 were $213,000 and $370,000,
respectively. With respect to the other officers named above, the amounts
outstanding as of March 11, 1994 were the same as the maximum amounts.

16
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
In 1993, non-employee directors of Unisys received a monthly director's fee
of $1,250 plus an attendance fee of $750 for each Board of Directors and
Committee meeting attended. Each non-employee director also received an annual
retainer in January in the form of 300 common stock equivalent units ("Stock
Units"). At the election of a director, Board and Committee meeting fees could
be paid in the form of Stock Units rather than in cash. The value of each Stock
Unit at any point in time is equal to the value of one share of Unisys Common
Stock. Stock Units are recorded in a memorandum account maintained for each
director. Dividend equivalents, if any, are also credited to the account. A
director's Stock Unit account is payable in cash only, upon termination of
service. Directors do not have the right to vote with respect to any Stock
Units. Directors also have the opportunity to defer until termination of service
all or a portion of their cash fees. Any deferred cash amounts, and earnings or
losses thereon, are recorded in a memorandum account maintained for each
director. The right to receive future payments of Stock Unit accounts and
deferred cash accounts is an unsecured claim against the general assets of
Unisys. Directors who are employees of Unisys do not receive any cash or Stock
Unit fees for their services as directors.
REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION AND ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE
COMPENSATION PROGRAM AND POLICIES
The executive compensation program of Unisys is administered by the
Compensation and Organization Committee (the "Committee"). The Committee is
composed of four outside directors. As part of its duties, the Committee reviews
compensation levels of elected officers, evaluates performance and considers
management succession and related matters. The Committee also administers the
various Unisys incentive plans, including its executive annual variable
compensation plan and its long-term incentive plan.
The Unisys executive compensation program is designed to attract and retain
executives who will contribute to the long-term success of Unisys, to reward
executives for achieving both short-and long-term strategic company goals, to
link executive and stockholder interests through equity-based plans and to
provide a compensation package that recognizes individual contributions as well
as overall business results. As a result, a substantial portion of each
executive's total compensation is intended to be variable and to be tied closely
to the performance of Unisys and the executive's business unit, as well as the
attainment of the executive's individual goals.
Each year the Committee conducts a review of the Unisys executive
compensation program. For 1993, this review included a report from an
independent compensation consultant which analyzed the elements of the executive
compensation program in comparison to executive compensation programs maintained
by public corporations that represent Unisys most direct competitors for
executive talent. These companies (the "peer companies") consist of the
principal companies included in the peer group index in the Performance Graph at
page 18 of this Proxy Statement and approximately 20 additional companies in
various industries whose annual revenue is comparable to that of Unisys.
The three key components of the Unisys executive compensation program in
1993 were base salary, short-term incentive payments and long-term incentive
awards in the form of stock options. Target levels for each of these three
elements of compensation were determined with reference to the competitive
marketplace, with overall compensation target levels intended to be at
approximately the 50th percentile for comparable positions at the peer
companies.
14
17
For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 1994, the Internal Revenue
Code will limit the ability of a publicly held corporation to deduct
compensation in excess of $1 million paid to certain executives. Compensation
paid under short-term and long-term incentive plans may be exempt from the
deductibility limitations if the plans meet certain criteria. Under transition
rules in effect until 1997, stock option grants under the long-term incentive
plan of Unisys are not considered compensation subject to the limitations.
Unisys has not amended its short-term incentive plan to qualify compensation
paid thereunder for the exemption.
Unisys policies with respect to each of the elements of its executive
compensation program, as well as the basis for the compensation awarded to Mr.
Unruh, are discussed below.
BASE SALARY
Each year the Committee determines a salary range for executive officers.
The midpoint of the range for each position is targeted at the 50th percentile
for comparable positions at the peer companies. Individual salaries within the
range are determined primarily by individual performance, level of
responsibility and experience. As a result, the base salary of any executive
officer may be set at, above or below the 50th percentile, depending upon
individual circumstances.
SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PAYMENTS
In 1993, the stockholders of Unisys approved the Unisys Executive Annual
Variable Compensation Plan. This plan's stated purpose is to motivate and reward
elected officers and other key executives for the attainment of individual
and/or corporate performance goals. Under the plan, the Committee has the
discretion to determine the conditions (including performance objectives)
applicable to annual award payments and the amounts of such awards. For 1993,
all of the current executive officers of Unisys, other than Mr. Unruh (whose
annual incentive compensation is determined in accordance with the employment
agreement described below), participated in the plan.
Early in 1993, performance goals were established for each participating
executive. The goals took into account, depending on the responsibilities of the
individual, one or more of the following: financial performance of Unisys and
the executive's business unit (specifically, achievement of pre-established
profit, revenue and cash flow objectives); contribution of the relevant business
unit to the implementation of Unisys strategic plan; and the achievement, by the
executive's business unit, of non-financial goals such as customer satisfaction.
Because these goals were tailored to the positions held, they varied from
executive to executive. The Committee also considered, with respect to each
executive, quality of individual performance and individual skill in fostering
effective teamwork both within the executive's business unit and across
functions outside the business unit.
Executives participating in the plan were also assigned target award
amounts for 1993, which were typically stated as a percentage of salary paid
during the year (ranging, in the case of elected officers, from 40% to 70%).
Target award amounts were designed to be at approximately the 60th percentile
for the peer companies in order to place a greater emphasis on the variable,
short-term component of total compensation. Actual awards could range from zero
to 150% of target, depending upon the Committee's evaluation of the executive's
achievement of his or her goals. Award amounts were in the discretion of the
Committee and were not calculated by formula. Although specific weights were not
assigned to the various goals or to the factors used to measure financial
performance, the size of individual incentive awards for 1993 was highly
influenced
15
18
by the degree to which business unit (in the case of executives having
responsibility for a particular business unit) and corporate (with respect to
other executives) financial goals were met.
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARDS
Under the Unisys 1990 Long-Term Incentive Plan, stock options may be
granted to executive officers and other key employees of Unisys. The size of
stock option awards is based primarily on the individual's responsibilities and
position with the company and, for executive officers other than Mr. Unruh, is
intended to be at approximately the 40th percentile for comparable positions at
the peer companies. The Committee does not determine the size of such grants by
reference to the amount or value of stock options currently held by an executive
officer.
Stock options are designed to align the interests of executives with those
of stockholders. Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the
market price of Unisys Common Stock on the date of grant, and current grants
vest over four years. This approach is designed to encourage the creation of
stockholder value over the long term since no benefit is realized unless the
price of the Common Stock rises over a number of years.
As disclosed on page 10, in 1993 Victor E. Millar received a contingent
performance award payable in 1996, the amount of which will be based, in large
part, on the achievement, by the Worldwide Information Services Group of Unisys,
of predetermined revenue and profit goals over a three-year performance period.
The award was made in connection with Unisys announced strategy to grow its
information services business and was made to Mr. Millar in his capacity as
President of the Unisys Worldwide Information Services Group. The contingent
performance award is intended to be in addition to the other components of Mr.
Millar's compensation, and the target amount of the award was established with a
view to making Mr. Millar's overall target compensation comparable to his
compensation prior to joining Unisys. Mr. Millar is the elected officer having
primary responsibility for the Unisys information services business, and
therefore was the only elected officer to receive such a contingent performance
award.
COMPENSATION OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Mr. Unruh's compensation for 1993 was determined principally in accordance
with the terms of the employment agreement described at page 12. The employment
agreement was entered into effective July 1, 1991, and covers the three-year
period ending June 30, 1994.
Mr. Unruh's employment agreement provides for a minimum base salary of
$650,000 (which was Mr. Unruh's salary from March 1990 to March 1992), subject
to periodic review by the Committee. As set forth in the Committee's report for
1992, Mr. Unruh's base salary was increased to $735,000 in March 1992. After
taking into account a comparison of base salaries of chief executive officers of
the peer companies and in recognition of 1992 financial results (including a
return to profitability, a significant increase in cash flow from operations and
a substantial decrease in total debt), the Committee increased Mr. Unruh's
annual base salary to $780,000 in March 1993. Mr. Unruh's current salary is at
approximately the 50th percentile for chief executive officers of the peer
companies.
Under the employment agreement, Mr. Unruh is eligible for an annual bonus
in an amount to be determined by the Committee based upon such factors as the
Committee deems appropriate. For 1993, Mr. Unruh's target bonus was 100% of
salary paid during the year, subject to a maximum potential amount of 150% of
target. No minimum bonus was guaranteed. The target bonus amount is
substantially above the 50th
16
19
percentile for the peer companies and reflects the Committee's decision to
emphasize short-term performance as a component of Mr. Unruh's total
compensation for 1993.
The percentage of target bonus actually paid to Mr. Unruh was dependent
upon the Committee's evaluation of his achievement of goals set at the beginning
of 1993. These goals consisted of (1) corporate financial objectives
(predetermined levels of profit, revenue and cash flow), (2) predetermined
revenue levels in specified lines of business and (3) various non-financial
personal and organizational goals. The amount of Mr. Unruh's bonus was not
calculated by formula, and specific weights were not assigned to the various
goals or to the components of corporate financial objectives. As with the other
executive officers, however, the Committee primarily considered performance
against financial goals. Based on its overall assessment of Mr. Unruh's
performance against these goals, the Committee awarded him a bonus of $800,000,
or 103% of target for 1993.
In 1993, Mr. Unruh received options to purchase 200,000 shares of Common
Stock at an exercise price of $12.00 per share. The size of this grant was set
significantly below the 50th percentile for chief executives of the peer
companies in order to place Mr. Unruh's total target compensation (salary, bonus
and stock options) at or near the 50th percentile.

GENERAL AND OTHER MATTERS
POLICY ON CONFIDENTIAL VOTING
It is the policy of Unisys that all stockholder proxies, ballots and voting
materials that identify the vote of a specific stockholder shall, if requested
by that stockholder on such proxy, ballot or materials, be kept permanently
confidential and shall not be disclosed to Unisys, its affiliates, directors,
officers and employees or to any third parties except as may be required by law,
to pursue or defend legal proceedings or to carry out the purpose of, or as
permitted by, the policy. Under the policy, vote tabulators and inspectors of
election are to be independent parties who are unaffiliated with and are not
employees of Unisys. The policy provides that it may, under certain
circumstances, be suspended in the event of a proxy solicitation in opposition
to a solicitation of management. Unisys may at any time be informed whether or
not a particular stockholder has voted. Comments written on proxies or ballots,
together with the name and address of the commenting stockholder, will also be
made available.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
Any stockholder proposal to be considered by Unisys for inclusion in the
proxy materials for the 1995 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received by
Unisys no later than November 17, 1994.
A stockholder proposal on economic conversion was submitted for inclusion
in the proxy materials for the 1994 Annual Meeting but was withdrawn by the
proponent after discussions with management. Stockholders and employees who
would like additional information regarding the Unisys economic conversion
strategy, plans and implementation should contact the Corporate Secretary, P.O.
Box 500, Township Line and Union Meeting Roads, Blue Bell, PA 19424.
OTHER MATTERS
At the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors knows of no
matter other than the matters described herein that will be presented for
consideration at the Annual Meeting. However, if any other matter shall properly
come before the Annual Meeting, the shares represented by the proxies signed and
returned by stockholders will, unless stockholders otherwise specify, be voted
thereon in the discretion of the persons voting such shares.
The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by Unisys. Such cost will
include charges by brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for
forwarding proxies and proxy material to the beneficial owners of Unisys Common
Stock. Solicitation may also be made personally, or by telephone or telegraph,
by directors, officers and regular employees of Unisys without additional
compensation. In addition, Unisys has retained Morrow & Co., Inc. to assist in
the solicitation of proxies for a fee of approximately $12,000, plus expenses.
