Dear Fellow Stockholder:
It is my pleasure to invite you to the Unisys 2006 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders. This years meeting will be held
on Thursday, April 20, 2006, at The Hilton Inn at Penn,
which is located at 3600 Sansom Street in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. The meeting will begin at 9:30 a.m.
The past year was a challenging one for Unisys. We encountered
significant issues in two of our outsourcing operations and
faced lower demand than we expected in our technology sales.
These factors, plus higher pension accounting expense and an
adjustment in our deferred tax assets, resulted in a substantial
loss for the year. While these results were disappointing and
unacceptable, we have much to be optimistic about as we enter
the new year. In 2005, we conducted a comprehensive review of
our strategy and business operations to build on our strengths
and drive profitable growth going forward. As a result of this
review, we announced a far-reaching plan to refocus our business
around high-growth market segments, reduce our cost base, divest
non-core assets, and enhance our sales and marketing efforts. We
saw strong orders growth and cash flow in the fourth quarter.
While we have much more work to do to implement the new plan, we
are confident that we have laid the foundation for improved
results in 2006 and beyond.
Whether or not you plan to attend the annual meeting, I urge you
to take a moment to vote on the items in this years proxy
statement. Most stockholders have a choice of voting their
shares over the Internet, by telephone, or by completing,
signing, and returning a proxy card. Voting by any of these
means takes only a few minutes, and it will ensure that your
shares are represented at the meeting. If you vote over the
Internet, you will also be given the opportunity to access
future proxy statements and annual reports over the Internet
instead of receiving paper copies in the mail. Electronic access
saves the company the cost of producing and mailing these
documents. I encourage you to take advantage of it.
I look forward to seeing you at the annual meeting, where you
will hear about our results for 2005 and our priorities for 2006.
|
|
|
Sincerely, |
|
|
|
|
Joseph W. McGrath |
|
President and Chief Executive Officer |

UNISYS CORPORATION
PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
April 20, 2006
The Board of Directors of Unisys Corporation solicits your proxy
for use at the 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on
April 20, 2006 and at any adjournments. At the annual
meeting, stockholders will be asked to elect four directors, to
ratify the selection of the Companys independent
registered public accountants, and to transact any other
business properly brought before the meeting.
The record date for the annual meeting is February 28,
2006. Only holders of record of Unisys common stock as of the
close of business on the record date are entitled to vote at the
meeting. On the record date, 342,544,001 shares of common stock
were outstanding. The presence, in person or by proxy, of a
majority of those shares will constitute a quorum at the meeting.
This proxy statement, the proxy/voting instruction card and the
annual report of Unisys, including the financial statements for
2005, are being mailed and made available on the Internet on or
about March 16, 2006.
Required Vote
Each share of Unisys common stock outstanding on the record date
is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted upon. Under
Delaware law and the Companys Bylaws, directors are
elected by a plurality of the votes cast. This means that the
nominees receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected.
However, as more fully discussed in paragraph 7 of
Corporate Governance Guidelines on page 8, the
Board has adopted a majority voting policy that any nominee who
receives a greater number of votes withheld from his
or her election than votes for his or her election
must tender his or her resignation. The Board will accept or
reject the tendered resignation within 90 days of the
annual meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted
for purposes of the election of directors.
Ratification of the selection of the Companys independent
registered public accounting firm will require the affirmative
vote of a majority of shares present, in person or by proxy, and
entitled to vote. Abstentions will be included in the vote
totals for this matter and therefore will have the same effect
as a negative vote; broker non-votes will not be included in the
vote totals and therefore will have no effect on the vote.
Voting Procedures and Revocability of Proxies
Your vote is important. Shares may be voted at the annual
meeting only if you are present in person or represented by
proxy. Most stockholders have a choice of voting (a) by
completing a proxy/voting instruction card and mailing it in the
postage-paid envelope provided, (b) over the Internet or
(c) by telephone using a toll-free telephone number. Check
the materials you have received to see which options are
available to you and to obtain the applicable web site or
telephone number. If you elected to receive proxy materials over
the Internet, you should have already received e-mail
instructions on how to vote electronically. Please be aware that
if you vote over the Internet, you may incur costs associated
with your
1
electronic access, such as usage charges from Internet access
providers and telephone companies, for which you will be
responsible.
The telephone and Internet voting procedures are designed to
authenticate stockholders identities by use of a control
number, to allow stockholders to give their voting instructions
and to confirm that stockholders instructions have been
recorded properly. The Company has been advised by counsel that
the telephone and Internet voting procedures are consistent with
the requirements of applicable law.
You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by
writing to the Corporate Secretary of Unisys, by timely delivery
of a properly executed later-dated proxy (including an Internet
or telephone vote) or by voting in person at the meeting.
The method by which you vote will in no way limit your right to
vote at the meeting if you later decide to attend in person. If
your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other
holder of record, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your
favor, from the holder of record to be able to vote at the
meeting.
If you properly complete and return your proxy, and do not
revoke it, the proxy holders will vote your shares in accordance
with your instructions. If your properly completed proxy gives
no instructions, the proxy holders will vote your shares FOR the
election of directors, FOR the selection of independent
registered public accountants, and in their discretion on any
other matters that properly come before the annual meeting.
If you are a participant in the Unisys Savings Plan, the
proxy/voting instruction card will serve as voting instructions
to the plan trustee for any whole shares of Unisys common stock
credited to your account as of February 28, 2006. The
trustee will vote those shares in accordance with your
instructions if it receives your completed proxy by
April 14, 2006. If the proxy is not timely received, or if
you give no instructions on a matter to be voted upon, the
trustee will vote the shares credited to your account in the
same proportion as it votes those shares for which it received
proper instructions from other participants.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors currently consists of 11 members, divided
into three classes. One class of directors is elected each year
to hold office for a three-year term. The four directors whose
terms expire in 2006, Randall J. Hogan, Edwin A. Huston, Leslie
F. Kenne and Joseph W. McGrath, have been nominated for
reelection. The remaining seven 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.
The
Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR all
nominees.

administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings. Without
admitting or denying the SECs findings, Mr. Bolduc
consented to the entry of a cease-and-desist order in which the
SEC found that, between 1991 and 1995, while Mr. Bolduc was
president and either chief operating officer or chief executive
officer of W. R. Grace & Co. and a member of its board of
directors, Grace fraudulently used reserves to defer income
earned by a subsidiary, primarily to smooth earnings of its
health care segment, in violation of the antifraud provisions of
the federal securities laws, as well as the provisions that
require public companies to keep accurate books and records,
maintain appropriate internal accounting controls and file
accurate annual and quarterly reports. The order generally finds
that Mr. Bolduc, through his actions or omissions, was a
cause of these violations. The order also notes that, during the
period in question, Mr. Bolduc did not sell any of the
substantial number of Grace shares that he owned. The SEC
ordered Mr. Bolduc to cease and desist from committing or
causing any violation or future violation of the antifraud and
reporting requirements of the federal securities laws. It did
not impose any fines, penalties or bars on Mr. Bolduc. |

Board Meetings; Attendance at Annual Meetings
The Board of Directors held eight meetings in 2005. During 2005,
all directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board
of Directors and standing Committees on which they served.
It is the Companys policy that all directors should attend
the annual meeting of stockholders. All of the Companys
directors attended the 2005 annual meeting.
Independence of Directors
All of the Companys directors other than Mr. McGrath
meet the independence requirements prescribed by the New York
Stock Exchange and, in the case of members of the Audit
Committee, also meet the audit committee independence
requirements prescribed by the SEC. In assessing whether a
director has a material relationship with Unisys (either
directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an
organization that has a relationship with Unisys), the Board
uses the criteria outlined below in paragraph 2 of
Corporate Governance Guidelines. All non-employee
directors met these criteria in 2005.
Committees
The Board of Directors has a standing Audit Committee,
Compensation Committee, Finance Committee and Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee. The specific functions and
responsibilities of each committee are set forth in its charter,
which is available on the Companys Internet web site at
www.unisys.com in the Investors section under Corporate
6
Governance and Board of Directors and is also available in print
to any stockholder who requests it.
The Audit Committee assists the Board in its oversight of the
integrity of the Companys financial statements and its
financial reporting and disclosure practices, the soundness of
its systems of internal financial and accounting controls, the
independence and qualifications of its independent registered
public accounting firm, the performance of its internal auditors
and independent registered public accounting firm, the
Companys compliance with legal and regulatory requirements
and the soundness of its ethical and environmental compliance
programs. The Audit Committee held 15 meetings in 2005. Its
members are Mr. Espe, Ms. Fletcher and Mr. Huston
(chair). The Board has determined that each of Mr. Espe,
Ms. Fletcher and Mr. Huston is an audit committee
financial expert as defined by the SEC.
The Compensation Committee oversees the compensation of the
Companys executives, the Companys executive
management structure, the compensation-related policies and
programs involving the Companys executive management and
the level of benefits of officers and key employees. It also
monitors the Companys diversity programs. The Compensation
Committee held five meetings in 2005. Its members are
Mr. Duques (chair), Mr. Jones and Mr. Martin.
The Finance Committee oversees the Companys financial
affairs, including its capital structure, financial
arrangements, capital spending and acquisition and disposition
plans. It also oversees the management and investment of funds
in the pension, savings and welfare benefit plans sponsored by
the Company. The Finance Committee held seven meetings in 2005.
Its members are Mr. Bolduc (chair), Mr. Espe and
Mr. Hogan.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies and
reviews candidates and recommends to the Board of Directors
nominees for membership on the Board of Directors. It also
oversees the Companys corporate governance. In identifying
candidates for Board membership, the Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee considers a number of factors including
independence, experience, strength of character, mature
judgment, technical skills, diversity, age and the extent to
which the individual would fill a present need on the Board. In
February 2006, the committee recommended, and the Board elected,
a new director. As part of the selection process, the committee
looked for candidates with a background in information
technology or with government, security or sales and marketing
experience. The committee retained a third-party search firm to
assist in identifying qualified candidates. The committee will
consider recommendations on director candidates received from
stockholders and other qualified sources. Stockholder
recommendations must be in writing and addressed to the Chairman
of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee,
c/o Corporate Secretary, Unisys Corporation, Unisys Way,
Blue Bell, Pennsylvania 19424. The Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee held six meetings in 2005. Its members are
Dr. Duderstadt (chair), Ms. Fletcher and
Mr. Hogan.
Code of Ethics and Business Conduct
Unisys has a code of ethics, the Unisys Code of Ethics and
Business Conduct, that applies to all employees, officers
(including the chief executive officer, chief financial officer
and controller) and directors. The code is posted on the
Companys Internet web site at www.unisys.com in the
Investors section under Corporate Governance and Board of
Directors and is also available in print to any stockholder who
requests it. The Company intends to post
7
amendments to or waivers from the code (to the extent applicable
to the Companys chief executive officer, chief financial
officer or controller) at this location on its web site.
Corporate Governance Guidelines
The Board of Directors has adopted Guidelines on Significant
Corporate Governance Issues. The full text of these guidelines,
as amended through February 9, 2006, is available on the
Companys Internet web site at www.unisys.com in the
Investors section under Corporate Governance and Board of
Directors and is also available in print to any stockholder who
requests it. Among other matters, the guidelines cover the
following:
|
|
|
1. A majority of the Board of Directors shall qualify
as independent under the listing standards of the New York Stock
Exchange. |
|
|
2. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
reviews annually with the Board the independence of outside
directors. Following this review, only those directors who meet
the independence qualifications prescribed by the New York Stock
Exchange and who the Board affirmatively determines have no
material relationship with the Company will be considered
independent. The Board has determined that the following
commercial or charitable relationships will not be considered to
be material relationships that would impair independence:
(a) if a director is an executive officer or partner of, or
owns more than a ten percent equity interest in, a company that
does business with Unisys, and sales to or purchases from Unisys
are less than one percent of the annual revenues of that company
and (b) if a director is an officer, director or trustee of
a charitable organization, and Unisys donates less than one
percent of that organizations annual charitable receipts. |
|
|
3. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
is responsible for determining the appropriate skills and
characteristics required of Board members in the context of its
current make-up, and will consider factors such as independence,
experience, strength of character, mature judgment, technical
skills, diversity and age in its assessment of the needs of the
Board. |
|
|
4. If the Chairman of the Board is not an employee of
the Company, the Chairman should qualify as independent under
the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. Members of
the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committees must also so qualify. |
|
|
5. Directors may not stand for election after age 70
or continue to serve beyond the annual stockholders
meeting following the attainment of age 70. |
|
|
6. Directors should volunteer to resign from the
Board upon a change in primary job responsibility. The
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review the
appropriateness of continued Board membership under the
circumstances and will recommend, and the Board will determine,
whether or not to accept the directors resignation. In
addition, if the Companys chief executive officer resigns
from that position, he is expected to offer his resignation from
the Board at the same time. |
|
|
7. In an uncontested election of directors (i.e., an
election where the only nominees are those recommended by the
Board), any nominee for director who receives a greater number
of votes withheld from his or her election than
votes for his or her election will promptly tender
his or her resignation to the Chairman of the Board. The
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will promptly
consider the resignation submitted by such director and will
recommend to the Board whether to accept the tendered resignation |
8
|
|
|
or reject it. The Board will act on the Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committees recommendation no later than
90 days following the date of the stockholders
meeting where the election occurred, and the Company will
promptly publicly disclose the Boards decision. To the
extent that one or more directors resignations are
accepted by the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee will recommend to the Board whether to fill such
vacancy or vacancies or to reduce the size of the Board. Any
director who tenders his or her resignation pursuant to this
provision will not participate in the Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee recommendation or Board consideration
regarding whether or not to accept the tendered resignation. |
|
|
8. The non-management directors will meet in
executive session at all regularly scheduled Board meetings.
They may also meet in executive session at any time upon
request. If the Chairman of the Board is an employee of the
Company, the Board will elect from the independent directors a
lead director who will preside at executive sessions. If the
Chairman is not an employee, the Chairman will preside at
executive sessions. |
|
|
9. Board members have complete access to Unisys
management. Members of senior management who are not Board
members regularly attend Board meetings, and the Board
encourages senior management, from time to time, to bring into
Board meetings other managers who can provide additional
insights into the matters under discussion. |
|
|
10. The Board and its committees have the right at any time
to retain independent outside financial, legal or other advisors. |
|
|
11. Directors should not, except in rare circumstances
approved by the Board, draw any consulting, legal or other fees
from the Company. In no event shall any member of the Audit
Committee receive any compensation from the Company other than
directors fees. |
|
|
12. The Company should maintain an orientation program for
new directors and continuing education programs for all
directors. |
|
|
13. The Board will conduct an annual self-evaluation to
determine whether it and its committees are functioning
effectively. |
|
|
14. The non-management directors will evaluate the
performance of the chief executive officer annually and will
meet in executive session, led by the chairperson of the
Compensation Committee, to review this performance. The
evaluation is based on objective criteria, including performance
of the business, accomplishment of long-term strategic
objectives and development of management. Based on this
evaluation, the Compensation Committee will recommend, and the
members of the Board who meet the independence criteria of the
New York Stock Exchange will determine and approve, the
compensation of the chief executive officer. |
|
|
15. To assist the Board in its planning for the succession
to the position of chief executive officer, the chief executive
officer is expected to provide an annual report on succession
planning to the Compensation Committee. |
|
|
16. The Companys stockholder rights plan is scheduled
to expire on March 17, 2006, and it has no present intention to
extend such rights plan or adopt a new one. Subject to its
continuing fiduciary duties, which may dictate otherwise
depending on the circumstances, the Board shall submit the
adoption of any future stockholder rights plan or extension of
the Companys current rights plan to a vote of the
stockholders. Any stockholder rights plan adopted or extended
without stockholder approval shall be approved by a majority of
the |
9
|
|
|
independent members of the Board and shall be in response to
specific, articulable circumstances that are deemed to warrant
such action without the delay that might result from seeking
prior stockholder approval. If the Board adopts or extends a
rights plan without prior stockholder approval, the Board shall,
within one year, either submit the plan to a vote of the
stockholders or redeem the plan or cause it to expire. |
Stock Ownership Guidelines
Since 1998, the Company has had in place stock ownership
guidelines for both directors and elected officers in order to
more closely link their interests with those of stockholders.
Under the guidelines, directors and elected officers are
expected to own, within specified time periods, a specified
number of shares of Unisys stock or stock units. Stock options,
including vested stock options, do not count toward fulfillment
of the ownership guidelines.
Communications with Directors
Stockholders may send communications to the Board of Directors
or to the non-management directors as a group by writing to them
c/o Corporate Secretary, Unisys Corporation, Unisys Way, Blue
Bell, Pennsylvania 19424. All communications directed to Board
members will be delivered to them.
Audit Committee Report
In performing its oversight responsibilities as defined in its
charter, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the
audited financial statements and reporting process, including
the system of internal controls, with management and with Ernst
& Young LLP, the Companys independent registered
public accounting firm. The Committee has also discussed with
Ernst & Young LLP the matters required to be discussed by
Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit
Committees), as amended. In addition, the Committee has
discussed with Ernst & Young LLP their independence and has
received from them the written disclosures required by the
Independence Standards Board. The Committee has also considered
the compatibility of audit-related services, tax services and
other non-audit services with the firms independence.
During 2005, the Audit Committee was kept informed of the
progress of managements documentation, testing and
evaluation of the Companys system of internal control over
financial reporting required by Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related regulations and provided
oversight to management during the process. At the conclusion of
the process, the Committee reviewed a report on the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting.
Based on these reviews and discussions, the Committee
recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial
statements be included in the Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2005 for filing with the SEC.

Audit fees and all other fees for 2004 have been adjusted from
the amounts shown in last years proxy statement to reflect
actual amounts paid. |
Audit fees consist of fees for the audit and review of the
Companys financial statements, statutory audits, comfort
letters, consents, assistance with and review of documents filed
with the SEC and Section 404 attestation procedures.
Audit-related fees consist of fees for employee benefit plan
audits, accounting advice regarding specific transactions, and
various attestation engagements. Tax fees principally represent
fees for tax compliance services. All other fees are for
non-prohibited advisory services to the Companys federal
government group.
The Audit Committee annually reviews and pre-approves the
services that may be provided by the independent registered
public accounting firm. The committee has also adopted an Audit
and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy that contains a list
of pre-approved services, which the committee may revise from
time to time. In addition, the Audit Committee has delegated
pre-approval authority, up to a fee limitation of $150,000 per
service, to the chairman of the committee. The chairman of the
committee reports any such pre-approval decision to the Audit
Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee has selected the firm of Ernst & Young
LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to
audit the Companys books and accounts for the year ending
December 31, 2006. Ernst & Young LLP has served as the
Companys independent registered public accounting firm
since 1986. 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.
The Board of Directors considers Ernst & Young LLP to be
well qualified to serve as the independent registered public
accounting firm for Unisys. If, however, stockholders do not
ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP, the appointment
will be reconsidered.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the
proposal to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the
Companys independent registered public accounting firm for
2006.

The Stock Unit Plan was terminated in 2004, and stock units are
now granted to directors under the 2003 Plan, approved by
stockholders in 2003. Under the 2002 Plan, stock options could
be granted to key employees other than elected officers to
purchase the Companys common stock at no less than 100% of
fair market value at the date of grant. Options generally had a
maximum duration of ten years and were exercisable in four equal
annual installments beginning one year after the date of grant.
The 2002 Plan was replaced by the 2003 Plan in 2003. No further
awards will be made under either the Stock Unit Plan or the 2002
Plan, and no shares (other than shares subject to outstanding
options and other awards previously made) are available for
future issuance under either plan. |

any applicable subsidiary plan. The amounts shown in the table
are computed on a single life annuity basis and are subject to a
reduction equal to 50% of the participants primary social
security benefit.

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 individuals 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 Named Officers as of March 1, 2006 is as follows:
J. W. McGrath $748,503;
P. Blackmore $490,909;
J. B. Wallace $537,333;
J.B. Haugen $532,000. Full years of credited
service under the pension plans for the Named Officers as of
March 1, 2006 are as follows:
J. W. McGrath seven years;
P. Blackmore one year; J. B.
Wallace six years; J.B. Haugen
nine years.
The Company has established two grantor trusts relating to the
Supplemental Plan and the Officer Plan. If a change in control
of the Company occurs, the Company is required to fund the
trusts in an amount equal to the present value of the accrued
pension benefits under the Supplemental Plan and the Officer
Plan.
Pursuant to the employment agreement described below, Lawrence
A. Weinbach is vested in an annual pension benefit of $1,000,000.
Employment Agreements
On April 6, 2004, the Company entered into a new employment
agreement with Lawrence A. Weinbach, covering the terms and
conditions of Mr. Weinbachs employment for
17
the period from April 6, 2004 through January 31,
2006. Under the agreement, Mr. Weinbach agreed to serve as
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer from
April 6, 2004 through January 2005. He also agreed to step
down as Chief Executive Officer effective February 1, 2005
but to continue to remain employed with the Company as Chairman
of the Board through January 31, 2006. Mr. Weinbach stepped
down as Chief Executive Officer effective January 1, 2005.
Pursuant to the agreement, he served as Chairman of the Board
until his retirement on January 31, 2006. Under the
agreement, Mr. Weinbach was entitled to a base salary of
$1,000,000 per year for his services as Chairman of the Board.
He was eligible for an annual bonus award at a target bonus
level of not less than 100% of base salary, with the actual
bonus payable, if any, to be determined by the Compensation
Committee but not to exceed 200% of target. Pursuant to the
agreement, on February 9, 2005, Mr. Weinbach was
granted an award of 128,123 performance-based restricted share
units. Performance goals established by the Compensation
Committee for this award related to Mr. Weinbachs
role with respect to the operation of the Board, advising the
chief executive officer, assisting with resolving certain of the
Companys challenging client engagements, furthering the
Companys acquisition/divestiture strategy and enhancing
business development. Under the employment agreement,
Mr. Weinbach was eligible to participate in the benefit
programs generally made available to executive officers and was
eligible to receive stock option and other long-term incentive
awards under the Companys long-term incentive plan. The
agreement also provides (a) for Mr. Weinbach to
receive the pension benefits discussed above, (b) for the
Company, following Mr. Weinbachs termination of
employment, to purchase and transfer to him an annuity that,
together with payments under the Unisys Pension Plan, will pay
40% of the pension benefits described above and (c) for the
Company to make a gross-up payment to Mr. Weinbach to cover
all taxes incurred by him upon the transfer of the annuity. As a
replacement for the pension payments that Mr. Weinbach
forwent as a result of his continuing to be employed by Unisys
on and after February 1, 2005, the agreement provided for
the Company to establish a special deferred compensation program
for him. Under this program, commencing February 1, 2005
and continuing through his termination of employment, the
Company credited $83,333 per month to a memorandum account
established on Mr. Weinbachs behalf. The amounts
credited to the memorandum account were credited with earnings
and losses in accordance with investment measures selected by
Mr. Weinbach. The right to receive the account balance is
an unsecured claim against the Companys general assets.
Effective February 1, 2006, the Company and
Mr. Weinbach entered into a consulting agreement. The
consulting agreement provides for Mr. Weinbach to provide
such consulting services to Unisys as are requested by its Board
of Directors or its Chairman during the period beginning
February 1, 2006 and ending February 1, 2007. The
agreement provides for Mr. Weinbach to bill the Company at
the rate of $8,000 per day for his services. The Board may, in
its discretion, pay Mr. Weinbach an additional fee at the
conclusion of the agreement based on the value of the services
he provides, but in no event may the total amount paid to
Mr. Weinbach under the agreement exceed $1,000,000.
On December 22, 2004, the Company and Joseph W. McGrath
signed an employment agreement covering the terms and conditions
of Mr. McGraths employment as President and Chief
Executive Officer for the period from January 1, 2005 through
December 31, 2007. The agreement provides for a minimum
base salary of $900,000 per year, subject to periodic review by
the Compensation Committee. Mr. McGrath is eligible to
receive an annual bonus award at a target bonus level of not
less than 100% of base salary. The actual bonus payable, if any,
will be
18
determined by the Board in its sole discretion after receiving a
recommendation from the Compensation Committee. Mr. McGrath
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
Companys long-term incentive plan. If
Mr. McGraths employment is terminated under certain
circumstances, the agreement provides for him to receive
continued payment of his base salary and annual bonus (in an
amount equal to the average annual bonus paid to him for the
three years preceding termination) for the remainder of the
term, but not less than one years compensation. He will
also be entitled to continued medical and dental coverage
through the later of the term of the agreement or his attaining
age 55, full vesting in outstanding awards under the
Companys long-term incentive plan, and continued benefit
accrual under the Officer Plan through the remaining term of the
agreement. Any such salary and bonus payments made to
Mr. McGrath will be reduced by the amount of any cash
compensation he receives for services rendered to any entity
other than Unisys. Mr. McGrath is also party to a change in
control agreement with the Company, as described below. He is
not entitled to receive duplicate payments under the change in
control agreement and his employment agreement.
Change in Control Employment Agreements
The Company 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. A change in
control is generally defined as (i) the acquisition of 20%
or more of Unisys common stock, (ii) a change in the
majority of the Board of Directors unless approved by the
incumbent directors (other than as a result of a contested
election) and (iii) certain reorganizations, mergers,
consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions. Each agreement has
a term ending on the third anniversary of the date of the change
in control. These agreements, which are the same in substance
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 Companys employ during the term, performing
comparable duties to those being performed immediately prior to
the change in control and at compensation and benefit levels
that are at least equal to the compensation and benefit levels
in effect immediately prior to the change in control. Upon a
termination of employment under certain circumstances following
a change in control, the terminated executive will be entitled
to receive special termination benefits, including a lump-sum
payment equal to three years base salary and bonus and the
actuarial value of the pension benefit the executive would have
accrued had the executive remained employed for three years
following the termination date. The special termination benefits
are payable if the Company terminates the executive without
cause, the executive terminates employment for certain
enumerated reasons (including a reduction in the
executives compensation or responsibilities or a change in
the executives job location), or the executive voluntarily
terminates employment for any reason during the 30-day period
following the first anniversary of the date of the change in
control. If any payment or distribution by the Company to the
executive is determined to be subject to the excise tax imposed
by section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, the executive is
entitled to receive a payment on an after-tax basis equal to the
excise tax imposed. 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
the Company with conflicting rights, the executive is allowed
the greater entitlement.

Transactions with Management
During 2005, the law firm Pepper Hamilton LLP, which has
represented Unisys on a variety of matters for approximately
20 years, provided legal services to Unisys for fees of
approximately $144,000. The husband of Nancy Straus Sundheim is
a partner in that firm. Ms. Sundheim has been Senior Vice
President, General Counsel and Secretary of Unisys since 2001.
During 2005, ProBusiness Services, Inc. provided payroll
services to Unisys for fees of approximately $549,000.
ProBusiness, which has provided payroll services to Unisys since
1999, was acquired by Automatic Data Processing, Inc.
(ADP) in 2003. Mr. Weinbachs brother is Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of ADP.
Compensation of Directors
In 2005, the Companys non-employee directors received an
annual retainer of $50,000, an annual attendance fee of $10,000
for regularly scheduled Board and committee meetings and a
meeting fee of $1,500 for attendance at certain additional Board
and committee meetings. Chairmen of committees other than the
audit committee also received an annual $5,000 retainer. The
annual retainer for the chair of the audit committee was
$20,000. During 2005, each non-employee director also received
an option to purchase 12,000 shares of Unisys common stock. The
annual retainers and annual attendance fee were paid in monthly
installments, with 50% of each installment paid in cash and 50%
in the form of common stock equivalent units. 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. A
directors stock unit account is payable in Unisys common
stock, either upon termination of service or on a date specified
by the director, at the directors option. Directors do not
have the right to vote with respect to any stock units.
In February 2006, the Board determined that the annual retainer,
annual meeting attendance fee, retainers for chairs of
committees and fee for attendance at additional meetings set
forth above will continue in 2006. However, these fees will now
be payable 100% in cash. The Board also approved the payment of
an additional $100,000 annual retainer to the non-executive
Chairman of the Board. Prior to February 2006, the Chairman of
the Board had been an employee of the Company. The Board also
approved an annual grant to each non-employee director of
restricted stock units having a value of $100,000 (based on the
fair market value of Unisys common stock on the date of grant).
Accordingly, on February 9, 2006 each non-employee director
received a grant of 15,397 restricted stock units. The
restricted stock units vest in three annual installments
beginning one year after the date of grant and will be settled
in shares of Unisys common stock. The grant of restricted stock
units was made in lieu of stock option grants.
Directors have the opportunity to defer until termination of
service, or until a specified date, 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 deferred
cash accounts is an unsecured claim against the Companys
general assets. Directors who are employees of the Company do
not receive any cash, stock units, stock options or restricted
stock units for their services as directors.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
Role of the Committee
The Compensation Committee oversees the Companys executive
compensation program. In this capacity, the Committee regularly
reviews and approves the Companys executive compensation
strategy and principles to ensure that they are aligned with the
Companys business strategy and objectives and with
stockholder interests. The responsibilities of the Committee, as
delineated in its charter, include reviewing and approving goals
and objectives relevant to the compensation of the chief
executive officer, evaluating the performance of the chief
executive officer in light of those goals and making
recommendations to the independent members of the Board
concerning the compensation level of the chief executive
officer; reviewing and approving compensation levels of the
other elected officers; considering management succession and
related matters; and administering the Companys incentive
plans, including its executive variable compensation plan and
its long-term incentive plan. To assist in carrying out its
responsibilities, the Committee regularly receives reports and
recommendations from management and from an outside compensation
consultant. The Committee also may consult with legal,
accounting or other advisors, as appropriate, in accordance with
the authority granted to it in its charter. The Committee
annually reviews the charter and revises it as appropriate.
Compensation Philosophy
The Companys executive compensation program is designed to
attract and retain executives responsible for the Companys
long-term success, to reward executives for achieving both
financial and strategic company goals, to align executive and
stockholder interests through long-term, 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 executives total
compensation is intended to be variable and to be tied closely
to the achievement of specific business objectives and corporate
financial goals, as well as the attainment of the
executives individual performance objectives.
The Companys executive compensation program also takes
into account the compensation practices of companies with which
Unisys competes or could compete for executive talent. In
establishing total annual compensation for executive officers,
the Committee reviews total annual compensation, as well as each
component of total compensation, against executive compensation
benchmarking data prepared by the Committees outside
compensation consultant. The benchmark data reflect median
compensation levels for persons holding comparable positions at
the benchmark companies. These benchmark companies are
principally in the businesses of systems integration and
consulting, information technology outsourcing, infrastructure
services, and hardware technology.
In addition to reviewing executive officers compensation
against the benchmark data, the Committee also solicits input
from the Companys president and chief executive officer
regarding total compensation for those executives reporting
directly to him.
Principal Components of Executive Compensation
The principal elements of the Companys executive
compensation program consist of both annual and long-term
programs and include base salary, annual variable cash
incentives and
21
long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock option,
restricted stock unit and other stock-based awards.
Base Salary
Base salaries for elected officers are initially determined by
evaluating the responsibilities of the position held and the
experience of the individual and comparing such salaries to the
benchmark compensation data. Increases in salary are based on
the Committees evaluation of such factors as the level of
responsibility, individual performance, pay levels of both the
executive in question and other similarly situated executives,
and the benchmark compensation data.
Variable Incentive Compensation
During 2005, all of the Companys elected officers
participated in the Companys executive variable
compensation plan. This plans stated purpose is to
motivate and reward elected officers and other key executives
for the attainment of corporate and/or individual 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.
Incentive compensation awards payable under the plan are based
on (1) a participants target annual incentive,
(2) the amount of funding the Company makes available for
the plan and (3) individual performance. Individual targets
for elected officers are approved by the Committee and take into
account the benchmark data. For 2005, target award amounts,
which are typically stated as a percentage of base salary,
ranged from 45% to 75% for elected officers other than the
chairman and the chief executive officer. Assuming funding is
available, actual award amounts can range from zero to 150% of
target, depending upon corporate and individual performance.
Funding for the executive variable incentive plan depends upon
the degree to which the Company and, in some instances, the
executives business unit, achieves performance targets
approved by the Committee at the beginning of each year. For
2005, the Committee determined that awards under the plan would
be funded only if the Company made its earnings per share target
for the year. Assuming available funding, the amount of awards
would then depend upon the degree to which additional corporate
financial goals were met and upon the Committees
assessment of the individuals performance. The Company did
not meet its earnings per share target for 2005. Therefore,
except for guaranteed awards to newly hired executives, no
variable incentive awards for 2005 were made to participants
under the plan. Mr. Blackmore joined the Company as an
Executive Vice President in February 2005. In connection with
his employment, he was guaranteed a bonus in the amount of
$224,658 for 2005.
Long-Term Incentive Awards
Long-term incentives are designed to align the interests of
executives with those of stockholders. In 2005, long-term
incentives generally took the form of stock option awards. In
determining the size of stock option grants to elected officers,
the Committee considers the number of shares available for grant
under the Companys long-term incentive plan, the potential
dilutive impact of grants and the appropriate allocation of
grants among elected officers and all other eligible employees.
The Committee also considers the benchmark data in
22
setting the general parameters for awards. The size of
individual grants within these parameters depends upon the
Committees assessment of the individuals performance.
The options granted to the Named Officers in 2005 are set forth
at page 16. Options granted in February 2005 have a term of
five years and were originally scheduled to vest in three equal
annual installments beginning one year after the date of grant.
On September 23, 2005, the Committee approved the
acceleration of the vesting of these and all other outstanding
stock options. The acceleration eliminates future compensation
expense associated with these options that the Company would
otherwise recognize in its income statement upon its adoption of
the new accounting rule that requires the expensing of stock
options. In addition to these stock option grants, on
December 19, 2005, the Committee granted stock options to
certain of the Companys key employees in furtherance of
the Companys plan to incent these employees to execute the
turnaround of the Company. The December grants have a term of
five years, are immediately exercisable, and prohibit the
recipient from selling the shares acquired upon exercise for a
period of two years from the date of grant.
All stock options granted by the Company during 2005 were
granted as nonqualified stock options with an exercise price
equal to the fair market value of Unisys common stock on the
date of grant. Accordingly, these grants will have value only if
the market price of the common stock increases after the grant
date.
Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and the
Chairman
Chief Executive Officer
On January 1, 2005, Joseph W. McGrath, who had been the
Companys President and Chief Operating Officer, became
President and Chief Executive Officer. In anticipation of this,
the Company and Mr. McGrath entered into the employment
agreement described on pages 18-19. The terms and
conditions of the agreement were approved by the Committee after
considering Mr. McGraths previous performance at
Unisys, his previous compensation levels and the benchmarking
data. Under the agreement, Mr. McGrath is entitled to a
minimum base salary of $900,000 per year, subject to periodic
review by the Committee. The agreement also provides for
Mr. McGrath to participate in the executive variable
compensation plan, with a target bonus of not less than 100% of
annual salary. The actual amount of bonus paid, if any, is to be
determined by the Board in its sole discretion after receiving a
recommendation from the Committee. For the reasons set forth
above under Variable Incentive Compensation,
no bonus was paid under the executive variable compensation plan
to Mr. McGrath for 2005.
In 2005, Mr. McGrath was granted the stock options
described on page 16. The grants were based on the criteria
outlined above.
Chairman
On April 6, 2004, the Company and Lawrence A. Weinbach, the
Companys Chairman of the Board during 2005, entered into
the employment agreement described at pages 17-18. Under
this employment agreement, in 2005 Mr. Weinbach was
entitled to a base salary of $1,000,000 for his services as
Chairman. In his previous role as Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, his base salary was $1,400,000, which had been his base
salary since 2003. Under the agreement, Mr. Weinbach was
also eligible for a bonus for 2005 at a target of 100% of base
salary, with the actual amount of bonus paid to be determined by
the Committee in its sole discretion, based upon such factors as
the Committee deemed appropriate. For the reasons set
23
forth above under Variable Incentive
Compensation, no bonus was paid to Mr. Weinbach
for 2005.
In February 2005, Mr. Weinbach was granted the stock
options described on page 16. Additionally, pursuant to his
employment agreement, Mr. Weinbach was granted 128,123
restricted stock units on February 9, 2005. Performance
goals established by the Committee for this award related to
Mr. Weinbachs role with respect to the operation of
the Board, advising the chief executive officer, assisting with
resolving certain of the Companys challenging client
engagements, furthering the Companys
acquisition/divestiture strategy, and enhancing business
development. Because the Committee determined that these goals
had been met, the award vested in full on February 1, 2006.
Deductibility of Executive Compensation
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a
$1 million annual limit on the amount of compensation that
may be deducted by the Company with respect to each Named
Officer employed as of the last day of the applicable year. The
limitation does not apply to compensation based on the
attainment of objective performance goals.
The Companys 2003 Long-Term Incentive and Equity
Compensation Plan, approved by the Companys stockholders
at the 2003 annual meeting, permits the Committee to design
compensation awards to Named Officers that will meet the
requirements of section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The
Committee may grant awards under the plan that meet the
requirements of section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code at
such times as the Committee believes that such awards are in the
best interests of the Company. The Committee has considered the
impact of the deduction limitation and has determined that it is
not in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders to
base compensation solely on objective performance criteria.
Rather, the Committee believes that it should retain the
flexibility to base compensation on its subjective evaluation of
performance as well as on the attainment of objective goals.

the cumulative total return on the Standard & Poors
500 Stock Index, Standard & Poors 500 Computer
Hardware Index and the Standard & Poors 500 IT
Services Index. The comparison assumes $100 was invested on
December 31, 2000 in Unisys common stock and in each of
such indices and assumes reinvestment of any dividends.

GENERAL MATTERS
Policy on Confidential Voting
It is the Companys policy 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 the Company, 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 the Company. 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. The Company 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 to the Company.
Stockholder Proposals and Nominations
Stockholder proposals submitted to the Company for inclusion in
the proxy materials for the 2007 annual meeting of stockholders
must be received by the Company by November 16, 2006.
Any stockholder who intends to present a proposal at the 2007
annual meeting and has not sought to include the proposal in the
Companys proxy materials must deliver notice of the
proposal to the Company no later than January 20, 2007.
Any stockholder who intends to make a nomination for the Board
of Directors at the 2007 annual meeting must deliver a notice to
the Company no later than January 26, 2007 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 Unisys capital
stock beneficially owned by each nominee, (iv) a statement
that the nominee is willing to be nominated and (v) any
other information concerning each nominee that would be required
by the SEC in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the
election of the nominee.
Electronic Access to Proxy Materials and Annual Report
This proxy statement and the 2005 annual report are available on
the Companys Internet site at www.unisys.com/go/proxy and
www.unisys.com/go/annual. Most stockholders can elect to view
future proxy statements and annual reports over the Internet
instead of receiving paper copies in the mail and thus can save
the Company the cost of producing and mailing these documents.
If you vote your shares over the Internet this year, you will be
given the opportunity to choose electronic access at the time
you vote. Most stockholders who choose electronic access will
receive an e-mail next year containing the Internet address to
access the proxy statement and annual report. Your choice will
remain in effect until you cancel it. You do not have to elect
Internet access each year.
Householding of Proxy Statement and Annual Report
This year, a number of brokers with accountholders who are
owners of Unisys common stock will be householding
our proxy materials. This means that only one copy of this proxy
statement and the 2005 annual report may have been sent to you
and the other Unisys
26
stockholders who share your address. Householding is designed to
reduce the volume of duplicate information that stockholders
receive and the Companys printing and mailing expenses.
If your household has received only one copy of our proxy
statement and annual report, and you would prefer to receive
separate copies of these documents, either now or in the future,
please call us at
215-986-5777, or write
us at Investor Relations,
A2-15, Unisys
Corporation, Unisys Way, Blue Bell, PA
19424-0001. We will
deliver separate copies promptly. If you are now receiving
multiple copies of our proxy materials and would like to have
only one copy of these documents delivered to your household in
the future, please contact us in the same manner.
Other Matters
At the date of this proxy statement, the Board of Directors
knows of no matter that will be presented for consideration at
the annual meeting other than those described in this proxy
statement. If any other matter properly comes before the annual
meeting, the persons appointed as proxies will vote thereon in
their discretion.
The Company will bear the cost of soliciting proxies. 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 by the Companys
directors, officers and regular employees without additional
compensation. In addition, the Company has retained Morrow &
Co., Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies for a fee of
approximately $9,500, plus expenses.
