(Cincinnati and Singapore; June 22, 2005) - - Convergys Corporation (NYSE: CVG), a global leader in providing customer care, human resources, and billing services, announced today it continues to experience an increase in sales momentum for its employee care solutions in the Asia-Pacific region. Three new clients in Singapore, Seagate (NYSE: STX), Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS), and DBS Bank, have selected Convergys to provide human resources services, and a fourth Singapore client, UBS (NYSE: UBS), has agreed to expand its existing contract with Convergys.

Convergys will provide new insurance administration and employee claims support for Seagate and Goldman Sachs, and expanded support for UBS. Convergys will furnish benefit plan consulting services to develop a benefits framework for DBS Bank.

In addition, Convergys will supply these firms with the business intelligence needed to continually improve benefits-related processes, services, and costs.”

One of the world’s leading wealth management businesses, UBS is expanding its relationship with Convergys to include an integrated employee experience for benefits administration.

Convergys will integrate the current multiple vendor solutions into one system, establish future processes to help UBS maintain its market-leading position, and implement contact centers for employee support.

Seagate Technology, the leading supplier of hard disc drives for Internet, business, and consumer applications, selected Convergys to provide an innovative regional approach to risk management for the company’s medical benefits administration.
