RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. PROPOSES

MERGER WITH COMPUTER TASK GROUP, INC.

Pennsauken, New Jersey, August 21, 2007 — RCM Technologies, Inc. (NASD: RCMT; “RCM”), a leading provider of business and technology solutions, announced today that it has made a proposal to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Computer Task Group, Inc. (NASD: CTGX; “CTG”) for $5.25 per share resulting in a total equity value of approximately $105 million.
The offer is structured as 50% cash and 50% RCM stock and would result in CTG shareholders owning approximately 35% of the combined company. RCM’s offer represents a premium of 21% to CTG’s closing share price as of August 20th, 2007 and a 22% premium to CTG’s closing share price on June 25, 2007, the date of RCM’s first offer.
RCM’s President and CEO, Leon Kopyt, said, “We believe a combination of RCM and CTG is in the best interests of both companies’ stockholders and would position the combined company as an industry leader with the scale and ability to better compete in its sectors.”
Based on RCM’s current knowledge of CTG’s operations, management and business opportunities, the combination of the two companies should produce an entity strongly positioned to become an industry leader having the following benefits:
	·	Approximately $550 million in combined revenue — creating a top-tier service provider in its sectors
	·	Substantially increased profitability with over $20 million of combined EBITDA before potential cost savings — better positioning the combined company for future economic downturns
	·	Potential for meaningful cost savings resulting in accelerated earnings accretion
	·	Strong balance sheet — pro forma leverage at approximately 2.5x combined EBITDA before incorporating any revenue or cost synergies
	·	Significant improvement of the new combined public company profile — larger market capitalization, greater liquidity, potential for increased research analyst coverage and potential for improved valuation through multiple expansion
	·	Significant expansion of customer base with potential for cross-selling opportunities
	·	Facilitation of services transformation to higher value-oriented solutions offerings due to larger size
	·	Complementary geographic footprint — only three overlapping office locations out of 57 total locations

RCM made its first proposal in a letter from Mr. Kopyt to James R. Boldt, CTG’s Chairman, President and CEO, on June 25, 2007. CTG informed RCM that it would discuss the matter with its Board and subsequently indicated in a July 12, 2007 letter to RCMthat its Board had declined the proposal believing that the interests of CTG and its shareholders are best served by remaining independent and continuing its current business strategy. RCM’s June 25 letter to CTG has been furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to an 8-K dated August 21, 2007 and highlights the strategic and financial merits of a potential transaction.

RCM continued to present the compelling benefits of a merger in a follow-up letter from Mr. Kopyt to Mr. Boldt dated July 25, 2007. This second letter updated the original proposal, including an increase in the offer price from $5.10 per share to $5.25 per share, and emphasized the goal of a collaborative evaluation of a potential transaction. CTG informed RCM that it would review the revised offer during a Special Board Meeting, but again declined the offer reitterating its goal to remain an independent company. This letter has also been furnished as an exhibit to the 8-K dated August 21, 2007.

After exhaustive efforts to discuss a merger with CTG’s Board, RCM concluded that the most prudent next step is to make its offer public so that CTG shareholders can be aware of RCM’s interest and can share their views about the future of their company with CTG’s management and directors.

The terms of RCM’s proposal are based on publicly-disclosed CTG financial information. Despite the fact that RCM believes the offer to be very attractive from a financial perspective, RCM welcomes the opportunity to consider non-public information regarding CTG and would consider revising the offer for any additional value that may be demonstrated during further discussions. Also, given the substantial stock component of the total merger consideration, RCM would consider including an appropriate number of CTG-designated directors to the Board of Directors of RCM with the number to be negotiated.

The RCM proposal is conditioned upon final due diligence to be completed in a timely manner. Both companies’ shareholders’ approval as well as regulatory approval are required. RCM believes that a transaction can be completed during late 2007/early 2008. RCM management is cognizant of the current financing market but remains confident that the proposed transaction can be financed at reasonable terms with attractive leverage ratios.

Robert W. Baird & Co. is financial advisor to RCM, while Morgan, Lewis and Bockius LLP serves as legal counsel.
