Item 8.01 Other Events.
On April 10, 2006 Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (the "Company") was notified that a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in Dallas County District Court on April 7, 2006 naming the Company as a nominal defendant and naming all of our directors, other than Lynn Blodgett, as defendants. Jeff Rich, a former director and officer of the Company, was also named as a defendant. The lawsuit alleges breaches of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment related to stock option grants to certain executive officers during the period from 1996 through 2002 and related to the Company's purchase of vested stock options from Jeff Rich in connection with Mr. Rich's resignation as our chief executive officer in September 2005. The Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.
