       NCR Completes Cash Out of Record Stockholders with Small Holdings
                                        
     DAYTON, Ohio--After the close of business, on May 14, 1999, NCR completed a
reverse stock split followed immediately by a forward stock split of NCR common
stock. As a result of this transaction, NCR cashed out approximately 610,000
registered stockholders who held fewer than 10 shares in their record accounts
as of the close of business on May 14. These stockholders, who held a total of
2,401,457 cashed-out shares, will receive cash for any fractional shares they
held in such accounts after the reverse split. The Company has elected to
repurchase the cashed-out shares at a price equivalent to $42.30. This price is
based on the average daily closing price per share of NCR stock on the New York
Stock Exchange for the ten trading days immediately before and including May 14,
1999.

     Registered stockholders holding their cashed out shares in book entry form
through the Direct Registration System do not need to take any action to receive
their checks from the Company. The Company will begin mailing checks to such
stockholders in the next 7-10 days. Stockholders with share certificates
representing their cashed-out stock will need to complete and return a letter of
transmittal which they should receive within the next 3-10 days.

     The transaction should have no effect on registered stockholders holding 10
or more shares in their record accounts prior to May 14, or beneficial
stockholders of the Company who own their shares in street name through a
nominee (such as a bank or broker). NCR's common stock CUSIP number, 62886E 10
8, will not change as a result of the transaction, and trading in such stock
will continue on a "regular way" basis.
