TechTeam Global Announces That Adjournment Will Be Sole Matter Considered at Reconvened Special Meeting of Stockholders on September 28, 2010

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., September 24, 2010...TechTeam Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: TEAM), a worldwide provider of information technology outsourcing and business process outsourcing services, today announced that the sole matter for consideration by stockholders at the special meeting of stockholders to be reconvened on September 28, 2010 will be the adjournment of the special meeting to a later date and a different location. As previously disclosed in TechTeam Global’s definitive proxy statement dated July 30, 2010 and the supplement to such definitive proxy statement dated September 15, 2010, the special meeting is being held to vote on the proposed sale of TechTeam Global’s government solutions subsidiary, TechTeam Government Solutions, Inc. (Government Solutions), to Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE: JEC).

Also as previously disclosed, on September 14, 2010, TechTeam Global entered into an amendment to the original stock purchase agreement dated June 3, 2010 with Jacobs Engineering Group with respect to the proposed sale of Government Solutions to Jacobs Engineering Group. Pursuant to the amendment, Jacobs Engineering Group has agreed to acquire Government Solutions for $43 million in cash, subject to certain escrows and adjustments set forth in the definitive stock purchase agreement, as amended. The original stock purchase agreement provided for a purchase price of $59 million in cash, subject to certain escrows and adjustments set forth in the original stock purchase agreement. The board of directors of TechTeam Global unanimously approved the amendment to the original stock purchase agreement with Jacobs Engineering Group, and unanimously recommends that stockholders of TechTeam Global vote “FOR” the approval and adoption of the stock purchase agreement, as amended, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.

In connection with the execution of the amendment to the stock purchase agreement, TechTeam Global has delivered to its stockholders the supplement to its definitive proxy statement dated September 15, 2010. TechTeam Global is adjourning the special meeting in order to provide its stockholders with additional time to review and consider the information contained in such supplement and make their voting decision with respect to the proposed sale of Government Solutions.

Assuming that stockholders approve the adjournment of the special meeting at the reconvened meeting being held on September 28, 2010, the special meeting of stockholders will be reconvened on Monday, October 4, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. (local time), at the offices of Ropes & Gray LLP, One International Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02110. The record date for the special meeting remains July 30, 2010.

The definitive stock purchase agreement, as amended, provides that the closing of the sale of TechTeam Government Solutions will occur on the later of October 5, 2010 or the first calendar day after all closing conditions have been satisfied or waived. Assuming that stockholders approve the sale of Government Solutions to Jacobs Engineering Group at the reconvened meeting on October 4, 2010, TechTeam Global currently expects the transaction to close the following day.
