Item 5. Other Events.

        On April 21, 2003, CIBER, Inc. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("the Merger Agreement") with AlphaNet Solutions, Inc. whereby CIBER has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of AlphaNet in exchange for $4.05 per share in cash or, at the election of AlphaNet shareholders subject to certain limitations, the equivalent value in CIBER common stock. The total value of the purchase consideration is approximately $28.75 million, including the effects of AlphaNet's outstanding stock options. A maximum of 750,000 shares of CIBER common stock may be issued as part of the purchase consideration. If at the time the AlphaNet proxy statement is mailed to AlphaNet's shareholders, an appropriate registration statement for CIBER shares is not then effective, the purchase consideration will consist solely of cash.

        Also, in connection the Merger Agreement, a Voting and Option Agreement dated as of April 21, 2003 between CIBER, Inc. and Stan Gang and Fallen Angel Equity Fund, L.P. was executed whereby these AlphaNet shareholders have agreed to vote their shares in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement. The subject shares represent approximately 42% of AlphaNet's outstanding shares.

        Closing of this transaction is subject to approval of AlphaNet shareholders, among other things.

        CIBER has amended its reducing revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank N.A. to provide additional available credit. CIBER's maximum available borrowings under its line of credit will continue to be $75 million through the earlier of July 31, 2003 or 5 business days after closing of the AlphaNet merger transaction at which time the maximum borrowings reduce to $50 million. An important element of the AlphaNet purchase price is AlphaNet's cash balance of approximately $21 million, which CIBER intends to use in part to reduce its line of credit borrowing after completion of the merger.

        A copy of the Merger Agreement, with exhibits that include the Voting and Option Agreement, are attached as Exhibits to this Form 8-K along with a copy of CIBER's related News Release dated April 21, 2003.


Item 7 (c). Exhibits.
