  </FONT>
  
  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Geac has a shareholder protection rights plan. The terms of the plan are
  set forth in an amended and restated shareholder protection rights agreement
  dated August&nbsp;1, 2003, approved by the shareholders of Geac on September&nbsp;10,
  2003, which amended and confirmed a shareholder protection rights plan
  originally implemented by Geac on March&nbsp;15, 2000. This summary is qualified
  by, and is subject to, the full terms and conditions set forth in the amended
  and restated rights agreement. Subject to earlier termination or expiration of
  the rights as set out in the rights agreement, the rights plan will expire at
  the annual meeting of Geac shareholders to be held in 2006, unless prior to
  such meeting Geac&#146;s independent shareholders, as defined in the rights
  agreement, ratify the continuation of the existence of the plan until the
  annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2009.
  </FONT>
  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Geac issued one right for each Geac common share that was outstanding on
  March&nbsp;15, 2000, which is referred to as the record time. One right was, or will
  be, issued for each voting share (which includes the common shares and any
  other shares in or interests of Geac entitled to vote generally in the election
  of directors) issued after the record time and prior to the separation time (as
  defined below), subject to the earlier termination or expiration of the rights
  as set out in the rights agreement.
  </FONT>
  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Until the separation time, the exercise price of each right is three times
  the market price, from time to time, of the common shares. From and after the
  separation time, the exercise price is three times the market price, as at the
  separation time, per common share. The exercise price is subject to adjustment
  as set out in the rights agreement.
  </FONT>
  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Until the separation time, the rights will be evidenced by the
  certificates representing the associated common shares and will be transferable
  only together with the associated common shares. After the separation time,
  separate certificates evidencing the rights will be mailed to holders of record
  of voting shares (other than any shareholder or group of shareholders making a
  take-over bid) as of the separation time and such separate rights certificates
  alone will evidence the rights. The rights are listed on the Toronto Stock
  Exchange.
  </FONT>
  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The rights are not exercisable and do not trade separately from their
  associated voting shares until the &#147;separation time.&#148; The &#147;separation time&#148; is
  the close of business on the tenth trading day after the earlier of (i)&nbsp;the

  indicating that a person has become an acquiring person (as defined below); and

  intent of any person (other than Geac or any subsidiary of Geac) to commence, a
  take-over bid (other than a permitted bid or a competing permitted bid, each as

  date as may from time to time be determined by the board of directors.

  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An &#147;acquiring person&#148; is a person who is the beneficial owner (as defined
  in the rights agreement) of 20% or more of the outstanding voting shares of
  Geac. Excluded from the definition of acquiring person are Geac and its
  subsidiaries and any person who becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more of
  the outstanding voting shares as a result of one or any combination of a voting
  share reduction, a pro rata acquisition, a permitted bid acquisition, an exempt
  acquisition or a convertible security acquisition (all as defined in the rights
  agreement). Also excluded from the definition of acquiring person are
  underwriters or banking group or selling group members acting in connection
  with a distribution of securities and any &#147;grandfathered person&#148; (generally,
  any person who is the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the outstanding voting
  shares at the date of the rights agreement). To Geac&#146;s knowledge, there are no
  grandfathered persons.

  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A &#147;flip-in event&#148; occurs when any person becomes an acquiring person. If
  a flip-in event occurs prior to the expiration time that has not been waived by
  the board of directors pursuant to the terms of the rights agreement, each
  right (except for rights beneficially owned or which may thereafter be
  beneficially owned by an acquiring person or a transferee of such a person,
  which rights will become null and void) shall constitute the right to purchase
  from Geac, on payment of the exercise price, Geac common shares having an
  aggregate market price equal to twice the exercise price, for an amount in cash
  equal to the exercise price, subject to anti-dilution adjustments.
  </FONT>
  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The rights agreement further addresses the concepts of beneficial
  ownership, waiver, anti-dilution adjustments, redemption and amendments to the
  rights agreement.

  <P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</B>
  </FONT>
  
  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;9 of Geac&#146;s bylaws provides that Geac shall indemnify its officers
  and directors to the extent permitted by the Canada Business Corporations Act.
  The Canada Business Corporations Act provides that a corporation may advance
  monies to a director, or officer or other individual for the costs, charges and
  expenses of a proceeding for which the corporation is permitted to indemnify
  such a person. The individual shall repay such monies if he or she does not
  fulfill the conditions for indemnification. Under the Canada Business
  Corporations Act, a corporation may indemnify a director or officer, a former
  director or officer or a person who acts or acted at the corporation&#146;s request
  as a director or officer of another body corporate referred to as an
  &#147;indemnifiable person,&#148; against all costs, charges and expenses, including an
  amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by
  him or her in respect of any civil, criminal, investigative or administrative
  action or proceeding in which the indemnifiable person is involved because of
  their association with the corporation or such body corporate, if he or she was
  not judged by the court or other competent authority to have committed any
  fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have done and: (i)
  he or she acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of
  such corporation; and (ii)&nbsp;in the case of a criminal or administrative action
  or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, he or she had reasonable
  grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful. An indemnifiable
  person is entitled under the Canada Business Corporations Act to such indemnity
  from the corporation if he or she was substantially successful on the merits in
  his or her defense of the action or proceeding and fulfilled the conditions set
  out in (i)&nbsp;and (ii)&nbsp;above. A corporation may, with the approval of a court,
  also indemnify an indemnifiable person in respect of an action by or on behalf
  of the corporation or body corporate to procure a judgment in its favor, to
  which such person is made a party by reason of being or having been a director
  or an officer of the corporation or body corporate, if he or she fulfills the
  conditions set forth in (i)&nbsp;and (ii), above.

  registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;13(a) or Section&nbsp;15(d) of the
  Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
  employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;15(d) of the
  Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the

  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
  Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
  persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
  the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
  indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
  is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
  against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
  incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
  in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
  such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
  being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
  matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
  appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
  against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
  by the final adjudication of such issue.

  INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

  The following documents filed with the Commission are incorporated by
  reference in this registration statement:
  (a)  The registration statement on Form F-4 (File No. 333-103019) filed by
  Geac Computer Corporation Limited ("Geac") with the Commission on February 6,
  2003, as amended, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
  (b)  The Reports of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K filed by Geac with

  (c)  In addition, all documents subsequently filed with the Commission by

  Act of 1934, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment hereto which
  indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which
  deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be
  incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to be part hereof
  from the date of filing of such documents.
  Item 4. Description of Securities.
  Geac's authorized capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares
  without nominal or par value and an unlimited number of preference shares
  without nominal or par value, issuable in series.
  The securities registered hereby are common shares of Geac. Geac common
  shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Geac's common shares entitle
  their holders to receive notice of and attend all meetings of shareholders, and
  to vote thereat, except meetings at which only holders of a specified class of
  shares (other than common shares) or a specified series are entitled to vote.
  The holders of common shares are entitled to dividends, if, as, and when
  declared by the board of directors of Geac. The common shares are entitled
  upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Geac to receive the remaining
  assets of the corporation, subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and
  conditions attaching to any other class of shares of Geac.
  Geac's preference shares may from time to time be issued in one or more
  series, subject to the sending to the appropriate authorities of articles of
  amendment in prescribed form and the issuance of a certificate of amendment in
  respect thereof. The directors may fix from time to time before such issue the
  number of shares which is to comprise each series of preference shares and the
  designations, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to each
  series of preference shares. The preference shares of each series shall, with
  respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets or return of
  capital in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the
  corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other return of capital
  or distribution of assets of Geac among its shareholders for the purpose of
  winding up its affairs, be entitled to preference over the common shares. Geac
  has no preference shares outstanding as of July 31, 2003.

  Table of Contents
  Geac Shareholder Rights Plan
  Geac has a shareholder protection rights plan. The terms of the plan are
  set forth in an amended and restated shareholder protection rights agreement
  dated August 1, 2003, approved by the shareholders of Geac on September 10,
  2003, which amended and confirmed a shareholder protection rights plan
  originally implemented by Geac on March 15, 2000. This summary is qualified
  by, and is subject to, the full terms and conditions set forth in the amended
  and restated rights agreement. Subject to earlier termination or expiration of
  the rights as set out in the rights agreement, the rights plan will expire at
  the annual meeting of Geac shareholders to be held in 2006, unless prior to
  such meeting Geac's independent shareholders, as defined in the rights
  agreement, ratify the continuation of the existence of the plan until the
  annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2009.
  Geac issued one right for each Geac common share that was outstanding on
  March 15, 2000, which is referred to as the record time. One right was, or will
  be, issued for each voting share (which includes the common shares and any
  other shares in or interests of Geac entitled to vote generally in the election
  of directors) issued after the record time and prior to the separation time (as
  defined below), subject to the earlier termination or expiration of the rights
  as set out in the rights agreement.
  Until the separation time, the exercise price of each right is three times
  the market price, from time to time, of the common shares. From and after the
  separation time, the exercise price is three times the market price, as at the
  separation time, per common share. The exercise price is subject to adjustment
  as set out in the rights agreement.
  Until the separation time, the rights will be evidenced by the
  certificates representing the associated common shares and will be transferable
  only together with the associated common shares. After the separation time,
  separate certificates evidencing the rights will be mailed to holders of record
  of voting shares (other than any shareholder or group of shareholders making a
  take-over bid) as of the separation time and such separate rights certificates
  alone will evidence the rights. The rights are listed on the Toronto Stock
  Exchange.
  The rights are not exercisable and do not trade separately from their
  associated voting shares until the "separation time." The "separation time" is
  the close of business on the tenth trading day after the earlier of (i) the
  stock acquisition date, which is the first date of public announcement of facts
  indicating that a person has become an acquiring person (as defined below); and
  (ii) the date of the commencement of, or first public announcement of the
  intent of any person (other than Geac or any subsidiary of Geac) to commence, a
  take-over bid (other than a permitted bid or a competing permitted bid, each as
  defined in the rights agreement). The separation time can also be such later
  date as may from time to time be determined by the board of directors.
  An "acquiring person" is a person who is the beneficial owner (as defined
  in the rights agreement) of 20% or more of the outstanding voting shares of
  Geac. Excluded from the definition of acquiring person are Geac and its
  subsidiaries and any person who becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more of
  the outstanding voting shares as a result of one or any combination of a voting
  share reduction, a pro rata acquisition, a permitted bid acquisition, an exempt
  acquisition or a convertible security acquisition (all as defined in the rights
  agreement). Also excluded from the definition of acquiring person are
  underwriters or banking group or selling group members acting in connection
  with a distribution of securities and any "grandfathered person" (generally,
  any person who is the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the outstanding voting
  shares at the date of the rights agreement). To Geac's knowledge, there are no
  grandfathered persons.
  A "flip-in event" occurs when any person becomes an acquiring person. If
  a flip-in event occurs prior to the expiration time that has not been waived by
  the board of directors pursuant to the terms of the rights agreement, each
  right (except for rights beneficially owned or which may thereafter be
  beneficially owned by an acquiring person or a transferee of such a person,
  which rights will become null and void) shall constitute the right to purchase
  from Geac, on payment of the exercise price, Geac common shares having an
  aggregate market price equal to twice the exercise price, for an amount in cash
  equal to the exercise price, subject to anti-dilution adjustments.
  The rights agreement further addresses the concepts of beneficial
  ownership, waiver, anti-dilution adjustments, redemption and amendments to the
  rights agreement.
  Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

  The validity of the securities registered hereby is being passed upon for

  Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
  Article 9 of Geac's bylaws provides that Geac shall indemnify its officers
  and directors to the extent permitted by the Canada Business Corporations Act.
  The Canada Business Corporations Act provides that a corporation may advance
  monies to a director, or officer or other individual for the costs, charges and
  expenses of a proceeding for which the corporation is permitted to indemnify
  such a person. The individual shall repay such monies if he or she does not
  fulfill the conditions for indemnification. Under the Canada Business
  Corporations Act, a corporation may indemnify a director or officer, a former
  director or officer or a person who acts or acted at the corporation's request
  as a director or officer of another body corporate referred to as an
  "indemnifiable person," against all costs, charges and expenses, including an
  amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by
  him or her in respect of any civil, criminal, investigative or administrative
  action or proceeding in which the indemnifiable person is involved because of
  their association with the corporation or such body corporate, if he or she was
  not judged by the court or other competent authority to have committed any
  fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have done and: (i)
  he or she acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of
  such corporation; and (ii) in the case of a criminal or administrative action
  or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, he or she had reasonable
  grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful. An indemnifiable
  person is entitled under the Canada Business Corporations Act to such indemnity
  from the corporation if he or she was substantially successful on the merits in
  his or her defense of the action or proceeding and fulfilled the conditions set
  out in (i) and (ii) above. A corporation may, with the approval of a court,
  also indemnify an indemnifiable person in respect of an action by or on behalf
  of the corporation or body corporate to procure a judgment in its favor, to
  which such person is made a party by reason of being or having been a director
  or an officer of the corporation or body corporate, if he or she fulfills the
  conditions set forth in (i) and (ii), above.

  Item 9. Undertakings.
  1.
  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
  (a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
  post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
  - 6 -
  Table of Contents
  (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
  of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;
  (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
  after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
  recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in
  the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information
  set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the
  foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
  (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed
  that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
  end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
  form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
  424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
  represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
  offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
  table in the effective registration statement.
  (iii) To include any material information with respect to the
  plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
  statement or any material change to such information in the
  registration statement;
  provided
  ,
  however
  , that paragraphs(a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
  information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
  paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
  Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
  Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration
  statement.
  (b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
  Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment will be deemed to be
  a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
  the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
  bona fide
  offering thereof.
  (c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
  of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
  the offering.
  2. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
  determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
  registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
  Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
  employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
  Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
  registration statement will be deemed to be a new registration statement
  relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
  at that time will be deemed to be the initial
  bona fide
  offering thereof.
  3. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
  Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
  persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
  the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
  indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
  is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
  against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
  incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
  in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
  such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
  being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
  matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
  appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
  against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
  by the final adjudication of such issue.
