               Phoenix IT Group plc ("Phoenix" or the "Company")

 Irrevocable undertaking in relation to Phoenix's Offer for ICM Computer Group
                                  plc ("ICM")

Further to Phoenix's earlier announcement (the "Offer Announcement"), Phoenix is
pleased to announce that Barry Roberts, holding 1,826,000 ICM Shares
(representing 8.6% of the existing issued ordinary share capital of ICM), has
irrevocably undertaken to accept the Offer.  As a result, Phoenix has therefore
now received irrevocable undertakings to accept the Offer, or to use best
endeavours to procure that others accept the Offer, in respect of, in aggregate,
7,512,639 ICM Shares, representing approximately 35.2 per cent. of the existing
issued ordinary share capital of ICM as at the date of this announcement.

Excluding the non-binding letter of intent to accept the Offer which had
previously been received from Barry Roberts and which is no longer effective
following receipt of the above undertaking, Phoenix has non-binding letters of
intent to accept the Offer in relation to 2,528,066 ICM Shares, representing
approximately 11.8 per cent. of the existing issued ordinary share capital of
ICM as at the date of this announcement.

Accordingly, Phoenix has received irrevocable undertakings and non-binding
letters of intent to accept the Offer, or to use best endeavours to procure that
others accept the Offer, in respect of, in aggregate, 10,040,705 ICM Shares,
representing approximately 47.0 per cent. of the existing issued ordinary share
capital of ICM as at the date of this announcement.

The irrevocable undertakings referred to above will cease to be binding in the
event that (i) the Offer lapses or is withdrawn or (ii) if a person other than a
member of the Phoenix Group or any person acting in concert with Phoenix
announces a firm intention to make an offer (in accordance with Rule 2.5 of the
Code) to acquire all of the equity share capital of ICM, other than that already
owned by the person making such offer, before the date on which the Offer
closes, lapses or is withdrawn if the value of the consideration represents an
increase of more than 10 per cent. to the value of the consideration being
offered under the Offer.

Terms used in this announcement shall, unless the context requires otherwise,
have the meanings given to them in the Offer Announcement.
